    3x middle school champ

    I have said it here before, but his wrestling career took off after he helped the Brownsburg 6u Elementary Team win a state championship as a wildcard along with Koontz. Before that higher level coaching from @Fabio Jr. and team leadership and general guidance from yours truly (drove jesse to venue in morning so @Sig40 could sleep in) they were both less than average at best (hahaha). You are welcome guys for the jump start to what is likely great things for both Studs !!!! LOL !!!! (#)) TheCounty #PainTrain

  6. One could have wrestlebacks after the quarterfinals, only. If you're a regional #4 drawing the top #1 in the state in round one of semistate, to have been the #4 coming out of regionals, you will have had to have lost twice at Regionals. There are at least 3 ahead of you, and then someone outside your regional is the "ringer" death draw. So that wrestler does not have a case, really, to claim to be one of the best 4 at semi-state. But, those who lose in round 2--the current "ticket" round, they easily could be a top 5 wrestler in the state, lose to a top 3 wrestler in regionals, and then draw the number 1 in the state in the ticket round. I have literally watched the number 3 in a given class go down to the number 1 in regionals, and draw the number 2 in the ticket round and be out of state. THIS is the problem that the wrestlebacks are intended to solve, NOT taking away the upsets, which will always happen, it seems completely disingenuous to say "well then they weren't the best on this particular day", while the left out top 5 wrestler watches someone they've beaten 3 times this year in the grand march reveling in the whole pageantry that is "State". The IHSAA seems not to understand what "Going to State" is to a wrestler. It is a defining moment...a lifetime of work...and this is what COULD be corrected if we had an open mind. So I say, wrestlebacks after round 2, but NOT after round 1. As for time, I agree that is a concern. I'm not sure how all the semi-states look, but at New Castle we spend every year at LEAST one hour in "breaks". This year we had 3, totaling about 90 minutes or so. The New Castle "breaks" are becoming legendary. That is easily enough time to put in a single wrestle back round.

  7. Not sure much can top the Peele family response awesome to see Brocks family support and defend both kids. When I first saw Brocks response to his victory I didn't really know what to think, I'm a Brickie to my core but instantly I remebered the class Brock showed in losses to Triana at sectionals and regionals, I also thought he deserves to celebrate such a big win. See the region is really a big family we really stick together rivals at times for sure but at the end of the day 2 great kids going to the state finals hopefully to met again in the finals its Great! Anyone would have reacted after that win hats off to Peele and Triana for being class acts all year.

  12. As some of you may know, a family from Castle lost their home this week. CUSAWC is going to host Double HL (Humpday Head Lock) Camp on Wednesday, Feb 21st from 6:45-8:15 at CHS (enter door 21). We will have celebrity coaches showing the greatest headlocks known to mankind. . We are asking for a $20 donation for attending camp, but this is not mandatory. We’d love to have a room full of guys to battle, raise some money for a wrestling family, and have a good time. Please email me if you have any questions: Doug Welch Doug.welch@carmelusawrestling.org

    Best Weight Ever?

    I think what makes this year stand out so much is that all of these wrestlers accomplishments have already happened. In some prior years, you can say there were so many total state champs, but that would come later in their careers. 126 this year already has 3 state titles, as well as more runnerups, semifinalists and other accolades.

Cool stuff...The only out of state team we ever wrestled at new Castle was at the Cathedral super 6 where we wrestled Kentucky's St. X...Us and Cathedral would thump them pretty good every time but they were solid and always had state placers on their team...I got beat by 4xer Isaac Knable that went onto start at IU..I love seeing these numbers but wish the travel restrictions were different.. heaven forbid we get to go have a little fun on somebody else's turf.

Change the Venue, full mats, move the date of MS state closer to the date of Council Bluff Iowa, have a qualifier 50 plus kids in a bracket to be complete in one day is not good for any wrestlers, scratch weigh ins, seeding should never be trackwrestling. The weighin card was an improvement. Good luck to those who will be wrestling in this event in the future.

  24. I love the drama of the ticket round, it is very intense and a great thing to watch. The season is on the line and you have 6 minutes to move on and punch a ticket or you go home. It is a wonderful thing for sure. At the same time everybody knows that getting a great draw is part of why some kids advance. Example John Doe, who may very well be easily one of the best 8 kids in the state, drew the state champ in the ticket round so his season is over. It does not discredit any other kids win, just helps to ensure the best 16 get to state. Parris is one of those all-time great Indiana wrestlers, but somebody had to draw him in the ticket round. Same with Lee and the list goes on. We have great wrestling in this state, but it can always be improved upon. I am not saying I am in favor of either, just can see both sides of the argument.

  25. Perseverance

    Worst draw

    Great point Jeremy. It aligns with Silas and I's philosophy to a "T". Being fairly new to the sport of wrestling compared to many on this site (7yrs). I would grow a little more perturbed every year as I would hear parents/coaches/wrestlers complaining about draws, or hoping they had an easy road through. I can tell you this......that was rarely an issue with the Doah coaches. Slivka, Gary Jr & Sr each had a "bring it on mentality". Being cut from that similar cloth, is a major factor of our growing so close off the mat as well. I'll only add that Coach Barbosa has carried on that same approach. It comes natural for him being from the south side of Muncie. ? Assistant Coach Walker is no different. The Allred outlook is simple......Those who worry about the draw are entertaining fear & self doubt. Hoping for an easy path is reserved for individuals whose bartering for podium spots. Not for those whose goal is its peak. Cressel & Walton are both very deserving of all the recognition and success they've worked so hard for. They're well coached and their college commitments speak for themselves. However.....these are matches we've wanted all season. But we'll focus on beating Moore Friday night first. Bottom line......We love the draw. Awesome opportunity to make a LOUD statement! And they'll be dealing with a hungry youngster whose well prepared, well studied, unafraid to lose.....and wrestling free with no pressure. The best 182lb'er in the State will stand on top of the podium this weekend regardless of their bracket pairings. And it could be any 1 of 16 young men in the bracket. We genuinely wish everyone competing a great week of practice, continued good health and to just enjoy the moment. Go to war, have fun and score points. Never lose sight of how much of a blessing it is to be there.

  26. Man I hope so! As his dad, I know my son would never lose if “karma” was an actual thing! Lol! Did he overreact? Yeah, maybe. He also immediately felt regret and without prompting took it upon himself (remember a 16 year old kid) to go speak to Hobart’s coaches, Tylor, Tylor’s parents, our coaches, his teammates, his family, and others. You need to remember that Tylor (AWESOME KID AND FAMILY!) and Brock have been very good friends, teammates and wrestling partners for years at RWA. Brock was extremely excited to win against someone he has so much respect for. My son...no I’m sorry....my CHILDREN have been raised to be respectful and humble, and both are. I couldn’t be prouder of Brock, the man he is becoming, the student he is, the friend he is, the brother he is, the teammate he is, and the fact that wrestler doesn’t even come close to the top of the list of great things he is! He also would like it pointed out he squished a bug off his shoulder, not a “cigarette” lol! Man I also really hope your “karma” comes back twice as hard on him this week! Thanks for the motivation too! Love the Peele Family!

  28. Everyone arguing for wrestlebacks understands the 'beat the guy on the mat with you' concept. Wrestlebacks don't change that, they simply eliminate the 'luck of the draw' from the equation. If a wrestler is truly worthy, he will beat the guy on the mat with him in wrestlebacks. Furthermore as someone stated last week, wrestlebacks aren't needed to protect against upsets. Upsets happen every year & would continue to happen with wrestlebacks. They're needed to eliminate the luck of the draw. Lastly, I hate the idea of seeding the SS's. Way to subjective & as we witnessed yesterday, the rankings are often not accurate.

  33. How many times does it have to be said? Wrestlebacks are not needed to protect against upsets - they are needed to protect against the random draw. Example: 3 top wrestlers, all of whom are capable of winning the title in a weight class, are in the same semi-state. 2 of the 3 come from the same regional, thus one of these wrestlers has to enter the SS as a #2. Therefore it is possible given the random draw process that this wrestler could end up in the same quarter bracket as the 3rd wrestler (who is capable of winning the title) that won his regional. In this scenario, one of these wrestlers is not making it through the SS. Under the current system a wrestler capable of winning a title doesn't even make it to state (BTW this has happened & will happen again). But if there were wrestlebacks, he would still have the chance of getting through. Then come the next weekend, he might avenge the loss & win a state title. One last time, avoiding upsets is not why so many of us want to see wrestlebacks.

  40. All things considered, I think New Castle does a great job. With that being said, I think the tournament has outgrown its current format. I really hope the committee looks into regional sites... I know there are cons to making this tournament a 2 weekend event, but I believe the pros will outweigh them. Wow... there was some great wrestling on Sunday...

    Mappes vs South?

    An asst can only provide assistance if asked by the head ref and even then he can't overturn the head ref. I learned this last year during the semi finals at state where there were several close calls. I talked w/ a high ranking ref after that and he sent me this: Page 13 Rule 3 Section 2 Assistant Referee Art 1... By state high school association adoption, an assistant referee may be used during competition. The use of an assistant referee is designed to minimize human error in matters of rule application and judgment. Art 2... The assistant referee will be granted the same mobility as the referee and will compliment and assist the referee in making calls. The referee will be in complete control of the match. Following are procedures to follow with the use of an assistant referee: a. Constant verbal communication between the referee and the assistant is necessary throughout the match concerning stalling, line calls, illegal holds/maneuver, technical violations, potentially dangerous holds/maneuvers, and time remaining in the period; b. The two referees should be facing each other while each is maintaining a view between the wrestlers. Both referees must move to positions on the mat where the best view of wrestling and verbal communications can be achieved; c. In a near fall situation, the assistant referee should not be down on the mat, but in a position to observe the action, the clock, and tap the referee when time expires; d. If the assistant referee observes interlocking hands or grasping of clothing, the proper signal should be given immediately and the assistant referee should inform the referee of the infraction; e. The assistant referee must develop a feel for the match to properly assist the referee. When the assistant disagrees with the referee the assistant will bring it to the referee's attention immediately (when asked). It is not required to stop the match unless the referee thinks it is necessary. The referee will avoid interrupting the match when significant action is in progress; f. When necessary, the referee and the assistant shall meet briefly at the edge of the mat away from the wrestlers and coaches, away from the scorer's table to discuss the point of disagreement; g. The assistant may support, disagree or have no opinion relative to a decision. The referee shall prevail in the event of a disagreement; h. When a decision is reached the referee will inform the scorer's table of any change in mat scoring, timing, etc.; i. The referee, assistant referee, and two contestants are the only individuals permitted on the wrestling mat. Coaches are not permitted to address the assistant referee and the assistant referee is not permitted to address the coaches. This is the referee's responsibility; j. During any headlock, the assistant should be in position to observe any action from underneath and verbally inform the referee of any change from legal to illegal; k. During the end of match procedure, the assistant referee shall be on the edge of the circle to observe both wrestlers and coaches as they leave the wrestling area. A summary as explained to IHSAA officials is that the referee does not offer his opinion unless asked to do so. The coach may ask the referee to ask the assistant, and although it is general practice to do so, and referees are encouraged to do so, the referee is not always obligated to do so. When a coach addresses the assistant referee is can be construed as Unsportsmanlike Conduct, although the assistant will usually direct the coach to the referee. The assistant referee may issue penalties to coaches without the permission of the referee. Regardless of teh experience of ability level, the assistant can NEVER overrule the referee.

  43. I am by no means a fan of Portage wrestling or their fans. However, I have a problem with the ULC call against Peele at the conclusion of his 120 championship against Triana. After the buzzer sounded, Peele did a celebration where he simulated snuffing out a cigarette butt with his foot. The two officials calling the match didn't make any call on it. An official in the chairs took offence to it and made the unsportsman like call. Granted, Portage was so far ahead, they could have deducted 40 points and it wouldn't have made a difference. My point is, what constitutes a celebration going too far. Peele didn't stand over his opponent in a taunting way, and I saw nothing too unsportsman like. I personally think it was an emotional call based on the success Portage was having yesterday. I fail to see a difference in what this kid did and the many kids I have seen throw their ankle bands in the air and simulating shooting them with a gun, or doing a back flip. The kid was happy he had won and celebrated. The rules either need to be more clear, or all forms of celebration should be banned which would be ridiculous. I didn't get the call. If that point would have meant the difference of a team championship, this would have been an atomic bomb of a topic. On a side note, Portage did show up to wrestle. I haven't seen semi state domination like that since the Snyder coached Michawaka days.

    Worst draw

    I don't mean this to take away from Burdon or even Kreitzer, but I don't think Dickens looked like himself this past weekend. Even in his first match, he seemed a little off. I have no clue why and am not close to the MD program to even fathom a guess. But he seemed a step slow and less sharp than I have seen him wrestle before. The question is, can he correct it for this weekend and give Bryant a true challenge? If not, I think Bryant wins easily. If he's a full strength and ready to go Friday night, that could be one helluva match. I'm rooting for the latter!

  45. I think he would place at a 126 and that's in the toughest weight we have seen in a while.

  47. Perfect!! People just whining and crying cause "Jonny" was ranked, got beat and is now sitting in the stands. Many of the weight classes have studs that on any given day, will trade Win/losses.

  48. I forgot, the Indiana state tournament must be much stronger than the NCAA’s since they have wrestlebacks and we don’t? Obviously only the champion matters, why would anyone care about being an all-American if they didn’t win it, correct?

  50. Rutter lost at regionals, and the wrestler he lost to was pinned by the third place out of Goshen... is it really “clear” he should be state bound?
