ontherise219 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 What stood out to you this weekend? Always a huge weekend of wrestling across the state from all corners. I’ll start The Mishawaka coaching staff. The Al smith is always one of the best in season tournaments. Coach Sandefer had made it even tougher. The blood round matches were ticket rd level matches, in the consolation semis we had semi state final level matches and rematches from the state finals Team: The Crown Point Bulldogs are unreal good. Even with out 2 returning state semi finalist (bahl and goodwin) they destroyed the field scoring 318 which was better the 315 from last year. They have some heavy hitters and a lot of depth! Hayden Demarco-Chesterton The Rankings are not a pick’ems and has to reflect results. He is ranked low but is a much better wrestler. Demarco has been dealing with an injury but is getting healthy and he wrestled great. The semi final rematch with Maldonado was a barn burner. We get to see that a couple more times before bringing that to Indy. The Final with Walker wow! I hope we can see that in Indy too, maybe the best match of the finals. Both wrestler looked ready for a deep post season run. Bonus Ashton Jackson vs Tanner Tishner was fire, Tishner was right there and might be one of the best match ups for Jackson. But man Jackson has no panic and just finds ways to win big matches. FCFIGHTER170, MUSKEEWRESTLER, Websterk149 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Put another McGinley in mix. Max McG's coming out party. Everything is better when a McGinley is wrestling well for the Irish.

rookie78 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Julianna Ocampo for sure. Have seen her off and on since pre-middle school and she continues to improve and impress. She always looks composed. Doesn't let pressure get to her. So looked solid in neutral, in referee's, in scrambles. If people didn't know before this weekend, they should know now. She is a class act. GenHeavyHandz, Misty Kendrex, jaycer02 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2CJ41 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The 170lber from Cathedral that shall not be named until his father delivers some wings. He avenged his only loss and wrestled back for 3rd in a brutally tough weight class. tigrreapr56, QuinnHarris, Barn Burner and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamGarcia Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Got 3, week after week facing National Ranked teams and individuals 1. Revin Dickman finishing 2nd at Brecksville Invite My question (my opinion) is why isn’t a *National Ranked* *Ironman Placer* *Carnahan Runner up* *Brecksville Runner up* (Not in HS season 2x Fargo All-American) not ranked #1 . What else this kid gotta do . 2. Brady Ison winning Brecksville Invite Championship. 3. Leighton Jones finishing 2nd at Brecksville Invite .

If he beat Layne Horn in the Indianamat pre-season opener, he would be #1. That 1-0 decision went the wrong way for him, and Layne finished above every other Indiana wrestler.

DanKolov Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Very impressive that a small school like Western finishes in the top 5 of the Al Smith. Tanner Tishner is tough and can win a title. Hobart kid Costello doesn’t mind making it a dogfight. The matches I saw of his were fun to watch. Demarco vs Walker was action packed! Luke Penola of Zionsville is a tank. I need to send my son to the “Penola School of Handfighting” this offseason. I could hear his clubs from the nosebleeds. clshep, Trev Young, Shepherd and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we have outliers in the rural communities. Western. Delta. Belmont. Etc. The Shepards, Bumgardners, Mendenhalls, Jarretts, etc are Indiana wrestling icons. Shepards might be the only other family outside of the McGinleys with more Indiana heritage. These kids make Indiana wrestling the greatest. Chad Shepard is kind of a big deal as Western's coach. One of the sickest cradles in Indiana wrestling history. Used it to his advantage in 1990-1991ish...

And when you make rankings, you go by the most recent result within reason and last time they wrestled, which September is recent, Horn won. Sorry 1A Rochester isn’t putting out a national schedule like big bad Brownsburg can. And I would be Horn would have those similar results too if he got that kind of exposure. nighthawk21, dwise and Coplen187 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every kid that enters IHPO knows what they are in for and that the results will be used for rankings. So until they get matched up again the results speak for themselves.

Not disputing the IHPO, or IHPO results . These rankings are based on “Season Results” that count towards that. I’ll put Horn above Dickman on P4P rankings because it was out of season win. Horn beat (Fargo All-American) out of HS season tournament congrats . In HS Season Dickman HS results are Facts, he’s #1 HS wrestler in Indiana at 106 . Can’t dispute the resume he’s building .
