Yea... that was a tough one! Proud of my guy had a solid run. Just wrestled a bad match. Mahan did great. Back to the drawing board and practice on Monday! Good luck to all the placers! Feel bad for Tiranas too. Great family.

I am the fifth Beatle

It should be.

Not sure if everybody remembers the biggest and best lateral drop ever. But state champ Brian Shute went down. Just in case some of the younger guys aren't up to date on wrestling history.

Are we not counting Brayton Lee as a golf manager?

Yea, he runs through them not over them. lol

160 - Brooks Davis over Diego Lemley 9-0

Davis (PM) maj. Lemley 9-0

He had some holes in his teaching, but did get coach of the year award for best dressed.

Brewer maybe the biggest. Triana gets pinned was a pretty big one too.

That was easy

Pistol Pete wears Cowboy Boots, Cowboy Hat, OSU bandit to whip off all the blood, not to mention foot long mustache tentacles for extra cushion when Pistol face hits the mat . Pistol Pete says “If you look good you wrestle good” Pistol Pete

Chad Red Jr was undefeated state champion in 4 years, ranked #1 in the country at his weight. His record this year as a redshirt freshman is 17-7. College is a whole different ballgame. The strength and agility advantage that Mason Parris has over other indiana HS wrestlers would be negated completely by Snyder. Like FCFighter said -- One day maybe but don't think that it would be close now

To add to the intimidation, frosted tips would've done the trick. You wouldn't lose a match anymore.

I wish I would have done more of the Brian Shute off-season training. I think I would have been tougher. Also, in hindsight, I wish I did my hair that way also, that would of intimidated more guys.

If I could ever rewind and do things differently, I think I would do the Swain prep before the match. Insanely overdoing lat-pulldowns, followed by rigorous jump roping.

Match score was wrong causing the match to change course. Schute's coach should have complained and got the following sequence whistled as "bad time". Schute was denied his true place of glory, due to this error. Swain can't hold his mud.

Be cool to see SA join AC and Bellmont with an individual champ.

Jamari Washington, state qualifier at 182 from Hammond Gavit will be on JED this morning at 7:15

OMG!!!! I just got this horrible vision of TripleB in a tutu ballet dancing!!!!

285 - Jacob Obst, Cathedral - football, wrestling, and rugby.

Loved Ed holding down the mobile office. Respect!!

Gelen Robinson from Lake Central a few years back, wrestling, football, track

Mike Goebel says, mike Goebel says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

There were well more than two 4-over-1s 126 - Denny over Poynter(crappy circumstances) 152 - Pollitt over Hiestand 160 - Davis over Lemley 170 - Mahan over Brewer 195 - Stits over Savieo 285 - Tipping over Parsons 285 - Majors over Curtis Biggest surprises I’d say we’re Wagner pinning Triana and Brewer getting pinned

That's a great way to describe it. Everything he tried backfired and Mahan seemed like he could do no wrong. Sometimes, you just have days like that.... I had him beating Noah Warren and in the finals.

Good, I don’t want to see this thread again. Enjoy tonight and tomorrow fellas!

I mean "I give in". I concede that Wildcat's statement is so concise and emphatic, that its not even worth an argument.

I see argument with that being said you can say that for lot of kids. Ashton has three kids ahead of him that he has beat with last 8-12 months All kids he majored or more but I feel at the moment for what they have done lately they deserve to be ahead of him and to be honest I only use these rankings to motivate him because they don’t mean anything and there are lot of great kids on the list and lot of great kids not on the list. I’m glad they are on here and sig has spent the time in doing this. If a kid isn’t on the list use it for motivation and have him make a statement at ISWA state.

When you are streaming, Track shows what matches are upcoming on each mat. So keep an eye on the dashboard as well. In fact, the best way to stream is to use Google Chromecast or similar casting device and cast to a big screen TV, then you can still watch your computer screen for others or the dashboard. Of course if you have 2 TV's and 2 Chromecasts, you can have video of 3 matches at any given time!

Not even remotely close

I moved him out because there was a lot of deserving kids that went to middle school state and placed(most current tournament I can go off of). Plus as you can see this is just for fun, it does not have a official tab or place in rankings. Also if you look back I have gone against ISWA more then most have... no love for them. I can not look at each head to head of every kid in Indiana so things are going to slip by.

We all used to wear our singlets over our sweats and plastic sweat suits every day at practice....

My club coach wore a singlet over sweats and took smoke breaks during practice.

Now that's the same crazy logic the NFL players used which ended up costing me my 4th consecutive fantasy football league title.

I was not expecting to see a "Donnie Baseball" reference but that is awesome.

I agree, especially at 106. It's more like a future stars division. Also, it's hard to compare a lower weight's total accomplishments with an upper weight's total accomplishments because except for the rare Mitch Sligas or Mason Parris's of the world, they don't win titles until the last couple years of their careers. That 120-132 is the sweet spot where we're going to have wall-to-wall guys with past credentials because it's physically big enough to have those juniors and seniors who already filled their trophy cases with 106 and 113 medals. The same quality juniors and seniors at 152 and up, for example, probably didn't place as highly as freshmen and sophomores.

i've always wanted to try the skeleton ... really looks fun ! Couldn't help but notice you didn't touch curling, the ultimate sport of athletic ability !!!

True story... I saw online where the Jamaican bobsled coach quit and is taking their sled. They may be out! The women’s team.

It's worse...

Great job as usual! If you're gonna listen on the archive OTR is on about 32 minute mark. Loved the Faulkens quote OTR pulled out of the Finals "being like one big dysfunctional family reunion" at the Bank due to all these kids knowing/wrestling each other year round and in offseason and parents thus getting to know one another. Hate each other on the mat as rivals, but brothers/families off. Good on Dudelow for knowing his stuff and taking interest.

This is a great idea and fundraiser! Sell them with our handles on them and we all walk around Bankers and meet eachother during breaks and after in the local establishments!! "Hey, there's @ClownBaby! " Where's he been by the way? Of course da Rat don't have his handle on his...just his avatar pic! I appreciate the offer but I already have my sweet IM dry fit shirt courtesy of a local ref..it was too small for him. It was a bribe to get AuntJanie to make Oreo dirt pudding for the hospitality room. It worked.

Concur. Along those lines, and this only works if there's just a couple of you.. 1. wear a neutral color shirt..gray/white/black..most teams have a variation of those colors somehow. 2. Know at least one name from about 6 of the larger teams that are the ones usually hoarding the seats..you know who they are! 3. Just tell the nice lady/man with bed sheets/coats/tape that you are Jason Tsirtsis (random name to protect the innocent but use the name from #2 above of whichever team section your in) aunt/uncle and drove to watch him and just need a couple seats. 4. The mean seat lady/man will then become super nice, welcome you with open arms, ask about insert name from team section here and you plant your arse in their section. 5. Upon wrestling commencement, shed your neutral color shirt..throw on your loud and proud #PainTrain, Jimtown new State 2018 shirt. 6. Stand up and start the #PainTrain, Jimtown chant or my fave..Unleash the Giant saying!! 7. Duck from flying debris. Just a tip from your UncleJimmy.

I see both sides but at the same time teams should set together. Kinda odd 3 people setting in a sea of Portage if your kid is wrestling a portage kid. (nothing against Portage just the 1st name that came to mind and i have never had any issue with them. good people) Would be nice to have teams sectioned off and a lottery for the seats but doubt any schools knows how many people will come from that school and how many would be saved for them leaving a lot of blank seats and putting good seats to waste. With that said If you do try to save seats try to use reason. Get an idea before heading how many are coming and only save those as needed or maybe just your family in the same area don't do 10 rows or something dumb. Also if you do see people saving a seat just talk to them most people are willing to work with you. There could be a good reason as to why they might be saving a seat. I for one saved one last year for my Father he had back issue and i did not want him getting hurt in the crowed getting in, so he hung back. I got the seat and he came once it settled down.

whenever I have come across large numbers of seats being saved and they are unattended I simply remove the bed sheet, caution tape, or whatever they decide to use and sit my happy butt in the seat that I came to fair and square Seat saving only works if we allow it to work

I used a JV 106 who missed weight for coyote bait. Works every time.

Maybe the Banker's Life ushers should crack down on seat saving. If you see a big blanket taking up multiple seats - tell them to take it down. The people who get there early and wait in line absolutely have a right to their seat - but not seats for 15 of their friends.

I predict there will be wrestlers wearing the really ugly clown pants, Tonte will bust out a signature suit, and Michigan/Minnesota will like what they see after their recruits are done!

Am I the only one here that has watched “Cool Runnings”?

I agree with your take, I think when comparing deepest/best weight classes, I would only include the ones in which the accomplishments were from previous years. Most of your lower weight classes, which the majority are underclassmen, will always be stacked once you look back at them. 120/126 usually are the classes that we get to see the meat grinders, of course this is probably because the aforementioned underclassmen will eventually end up right around these weight classes when they hit their Senior years.
