No, it's just one day.

William Fiechter (Southern Wells) beats Colt Rutter (Yorktown) 5-3

Wow some brutal draws

What a great match! My favorite of the day by far.

138 Fiechter over undeafeated Yorktown's Rutter! Fiechter went to work! Great job.

The lower-level of North’s gym is not of an optimal angle for viewing wrestling. To worsen the matter, table help and folks milling around interrupt the view. If you go the upper tier, there is still vision obstruction and you are VERY far away from the action. Castle’s gym is far superior; there are no bad seats. The table help struggled during the first round, but worked out the kinks as the day progressed. I’m not sure what was up with the loooooong break at the end of the first round. BTW- If you are at the end of your life, I suppose listening to U2 ballads and “Something in the Air” by Phil Collins is good to listen to while you are waiting for the morphine to kick in. To keep the adrenaline pumping for a high stakes wrestling match—not so much. Down a flight of stairs, across the gym, down another flight of stairs and a 2-minute walk and you are in the restroom! Check that, you are not! You are in a line to use a restroom that was overwhelmed, filthy and smelled as if Satan had died there. I have been to Castle for many, many tournaments. Never have I waited in line, nor were the facilities in disrepair. The only saving grace was the North volunteers. All of the folks I encountered were friendly and there to help. Weighing all factors, North is a pale comparison to a Castle-hosted event. Castle gets an “A”; North gets a “D+”. Thank you, IHSAA, for diminishing our regional.

Hmmm... why the confusion... pretty darn close to nailing it.

Regional was today. As in this “week”. I think you gentleman are referring to the word WEAK Totally different meanings altogether But hey I’m no NCAA qualifier

Chesterton got 14 through. Week regional...funny

Yeah that's what the high school kids need is a bunch of grown men mocking them stay classy boys.

It says 8am on Monday, but lets pray that they are released sooner.

Mooresville 170 Brewer over Hays Carson over Willham

Living in Florida, Denver, back in Florida & grad school full time leaves little time for me to keep up on all the Berry Bowl knowledge I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it!! Always rooting for my Vikings and after this weekend anyone from Logan Hope to see some Logan boys at the bank in a few weeks! Just booked a plane ticket home for state weekend! Haven't missed one in years can't break the tradition Nothing better than an unclassed state tournament and 1 true champion

Ciera broukal (younger sister to Devon) 24-14 of b south pins brosmer forest park 29-7 first round of regionals at 106. She advances to semi state.

Did you tell him an SAT/ACT tutor would be cheaper and probably reap greater rewards?

Speaking solely from a 1A selfish standpoint. If wrestling became classed......I'd likely transfer my son to a larger school. Because in my opinion.....without a "Tournament of Champions", most of the time kids from the larger schools would be perceived as better. Yes......I realize national accolades would separate a wrestlers worth to recruiters. However....I personally feel a 1 class system is one of the beauties of this sport here at home. In regards to a wrestler becoming more successful......they simply need to have the hunger & drive to accomplish those things. My personal feeling......is that there is no difference between a kid at a small school vs a kid at a larger school in regards to becoming "elite". You have the same opportunities at open rooms, club training, ISWA events, national events, etc. Ultimately it's a choice. How hard is a kid willing to work on & off the mat at ALL the attributes that define a great athlete.....and not just someone whose athletic. Now, becoming "good" is a different story. Having better practice partners in season, larger room (more partners), wrestling a tougher schedule, etc., will all play a factor in kids who primarily wrestle from Nov to Jan/Feb. in distancing themselves from peers at smaller programs. But that's a much different animal than truly pursuing future wrestling goals. Ill be the first to admit I don't have all the answers. And I'm sure it could possibly help grow the sport some on a lower level. But I'm fairly confident that "classing" things would create an influx of your better wrestlers (including youth) beginning to gravitate more towards larger programs. Again....this is just my perspective on one facet of "class wrestling". I understand that there are other angles that I've not spoken on. But ultimately.....this is an individual sport within a team concept. So weakening competition so more kids can be successful who aren't putting in the work.....seems counter-productive to everything this sport stands for. Of which....is a major reason an old baseball guy like me has fallen in love with it. No excuses....and nobody to blame but the man in the mirror.

Incredible dual, lots of unexpected swings. Nevills with a takedown on the world freestyle champ!

I thought although he lost, Penn State 125 set the tone with early takedown and lead on Tomasello. That got the crowd electrified and that carried throughout the dual. Disappointing match for Lee, but Mackenna is a solid experienced guy and he just stayed solid, not allowing Nick to get in any wild scrambles or big moves Nickal getting that extra point with a major decision in the last few seconds set up the chance, and Cassar just wrestled out if his mind with the win over #1 Moore If anyone still doubted Cael’s coaching ability saying anyone could win with his lineup - I think tonight’s win with Nolf out and nearly the whole lineup stepping up it highlighted that he has everyone on the squad believing they can win any match

Lol nice prediction. That meet was was an instant classic! Wish Lee would have won though

Can’t a guy dream? Geez.

I am surprised Hook didn’t say it was “week”!

Columbus East final results: We brought 13 as stated above, 9 champs 1 runner up 1 third 2 fourths 13 advancers Looking forward to preparation for SS and getting better everyday. At a boys! Coach McGinley

Joe is scheduled to wrestle Saturday at the Edinboro Open.

120 Sparrow penn dec 8-0 Schuller Wawasee 126 DeMien penn dec 11-4 Alexander wawasee

Hey remember I'm your homeboy!

Preston Risner penn d Adam Davis cma 4-2

Eli Stock from Monrovia last year was unranked I believe and rolled through the state to claim a title, including beating #1 at Sectionals.

When was the last time an unranked opponent beat the #1 wrestler as early as regional?

Allred pins Rolfes in the first..kid is a animal

@106 Montgomery knocks Dalton frm the unbeatens with a last second score. @113 petro beat conley 3-2 @120Campbell beats Boe 1-0.. Campbell fights off very close takedown by Boe in closing seconds

I'm glad to see McNeely wrestling today. He's got over 40 wins this year and went to semi state last year. He had a tough sectionals!

Col. East brought 13 and all 13 move on..

Curtis over Peterson 8-5

Another reminder The Boilers venture into Bloomington Sunday At 1pm. For instate bragging rights.

I'm almost to mooresville and one that stands out is @170 Baptiste vs Hays is a example of 2 very solid wrestlers in the first round.

Always wanted Asa to wrestle Stephen Micic, maybe i’ll get that match at the next level in a few years . #nextlevelgoals

I've got two since we're talking hypotheticals..... 1. Brayton Lee vs Mason Parris 2. Mason Parris vs. the Top 10 126 lbers, all at once. Think Kramer vs. the kids in his Karate class on Seinfeld!

There you go ladies & gentlemen ..... Best Comment on This Topic !

I don't know how 45 states do it with class wrestling. Those poor kids in classed states.

If it's food.. east Chicago had tamales.

Jay County Regional 145: Bustos (Adams Central) out, Beeks (Southern Wells) in 182: Collier (Adams Central) out, Juengel (Bellmont) in

Evansville North regional at 182. Coomer of Vincennes is out. Schuler EMD wrestles Moore SS

In the brief interaction I've had with the Champ, I've always noticed a few things about him. 1) always smiling 2) very humble and courteous 3) surrounded by people but still has time to acknowledge you class act and wish him nothing but the best

Would have been fun to see Brayton Lee vs. Joe Lee this year...

Mason parris vs gable steveson @brownsburg high school

I switched to the dark side this year! Reffing has brought a whole nother meaning to the sport for me. (This is the reason I have not ran my mouth this year). I see us getting a 6#er through, McCartney, Hickman has a shot. Gonna be wild to see how we draw out on the 120 weight class. The loser of this weight could get the better draw. Betourne looks solid this year. Ford from bc punches a ticket FO SHO! CRIDER DOES HIS THING.

Can't spell Negangard without "Negan", so I reckon he's gotta be tough. I wonder if his nickname is Lucille? I will keep my eye out for that match

As a coach I never thought it as necessary to shake hands with the coaches, but as a parent I always demanded it from my kid. It was a preference of how I wanted to raise my kid.
