Nothing to see here! LOL

From my perspective I witnessed a home run attempt vs a Nationally ranked kid…who fought out of position and put on a takedown clinic to a pin of his own! All while wrestling with a separate Shoulder from Day one of tournament. Then proceeded to wrestle with one arm in finals to a tech fall. So yeah tons to discuss 

Lol a reversal and three backs, the “home run” attempt just about hit. Merritt is a dangerous wrestler than can put anyone away. It’s not everyday  where a IN kid puts Goin to his back and keeps him there. Sorry to hurt your feelings @Barn Burner, seperated shoulder or not he still got put to his back🤷🏻‍♂️. Sorry I should’ve added kudos to him for fighting off and managing to score points after I guess?

Tylin’s pin over Aquino-Morales and then the clinic he put on against Ingalls should vault him into the top 6. He’s only getting better and has a real shot at going under the lights in February.

He's a monster 126 pounder too  those Thrine boys just built different.

My upsetness is that I didn’t get to make fun of the lack of information from the Spartan Classic this year, since they finally figured out how the internet works.   Actually I’m not upset at all, way to go Connersville!

Tylin put on a hell of a show this week. 

Thank you, he always does things that amazes me and I have known the kid since he was a baby and watch his whole career! He does things that you can't coach and wouldn't coach if you could LOL

Y'all are doing great things over at Greenfield as well congrats on the big Spartan classic title! By the way I was looking at old dual team state records and things and that 96 Greenfield team was the best team I've seen y'all ever have, do you remember that team?

Thank you, just working hard trying to fulfill our potential. As far as the 96 team, no not really, only because I was 6 years old. I know we've had some very good squads in the 80's and 90's that Coach Ed Hamant would talk about a lot.  2012 team that had 4 state qualifiers and won the HHC over very good New Pal and Yorktown teams, would be my pick for best ever.  Hopefully the 2022-23 group will be in the conversation after next weekend.

Merritt is tough and can wrestle with anyone. He did reverse Goin to his back from the announcers table it didn't look like it would be a fall. Sam didn't panic, Merritt went down Sam cut him took him down and got the fall. Again, I think Andre is dangerous and will be in the mix for a medal.

Merritt has the best hips in the State.

Strong, fast, flexible, and athletic. He is always ,always dangerous. And once he wrestled you once he typically can work from there not to lose again. He is a bad draw for anyone.

Tried to get Something going Traicoff.

J Johnson was out for Cathedral. 

Not matched with Mishawaka there either. 

Just work the opportunities given and make the most out of them

Give it about month and half ,  Mr. Buttler will get his heavy hands on those Ranked Wrestlers Mr. Ranker guy . The Mooresville Semi State is coming & Dirty South official Semi State will follow .
ric flair wwe GIF

 Who needs to wrestle Indiana ranked wrestlers when you got those coming up to test you .
 

My Takes from my silly post  :
 

1. Whiteland needs to up their wrestling schedule, to keep Mr. Ranker happy with ranked stuff to judge on . 
 

2. Ohio wrestling needs 1 division in my opinion. Sad they don’t because they got some hammers that would love to be 1 and only Champion in their State . 
 

3. The best time of the year is coming !

1. Whiteland will have a great group that should and is expected to make lots of noise in the years ahead.

2. I am not crazy about their 3 divisions. but they have twice as many schools as we have. And yes they have some great kids wrestling there.

3. Could not agree with you more.

Was ranked 2nd.  Beats #5 state ranked and moves down 1. 

 

I doubt that was about moving him down. It was more likely Frazier moving up with two wins over Tolbert. Probably a coin toss ;)

 

The top four are mighty close. Should make for an interesting bracket at New Castle.
