  2. By JEREMY HINES Thehines7@gmail.com Kyle Cornwell was ready to give up wrestling for good. Almost every time he stepped on the mat, he would eventually watch his opponent have his hand raised in victory. The losses piled up, and the frustration mounted along with it. “I’ve had some mental blocks in wrestling,” Cornwell said. “In sixth grade I was something like 1-26. I was so frustrated with myself. I didn’t think wrestling was for me. I really wanted to just throw in the towel.” That’s when Cornwell got a little encouragement from his family and one of his closest friends. “My dad (Jade Cornwell) and friend Jalen Morgan talked me into sticking with wrestling,” Kyle said. “Jalen told me we have to start training. We’re not going to get better without putting in the work. So, we started training. We trained and trained and trained. By my 8th grade year we went to a preseason national tournament in Iowa and Jalen finished third in his weight class and I won mine.” That tournament success vaulted Cornwell’s wrestling career. He fell in love with the sport and is now ranked No. 1 in the state at 220 pounds and will wrestle for Indiana University next season. The Elwood senior’s training partner is still that same kid that told him in sixth grade to stick with wrestling. Morgan is ranked fourth at 182 pounds. “Jalen and I have been friends since fourth grade,” Kyle said. “We wrestle every day at practice. He has more speed than I do, so that helps me, and I am stronger than him, so that helps him.” Last season Cornwell finished fifth at 220 pounds. He was a state qualifier in the same weight class in 2017. He is happy to be ranked No. 1 this season. “It’s really a relief to be ranked No. 1,” Cornwell said. “Yeah, you have a target on your back a little, but I’ve been ranked behind Mason Parris for a while and it’s nice to have that top spot now. You have to be confident to be that No. 1 guy or you are going to lose. You don’t go to a match with your head down. You know who you are and that you can beat anyone.” Cornwell wrestled Parris last season in the New Castle semistate championship. That match didn’t work out well for Cornwell, as Parris pinned him in 1:14. “It was a really good experience to wrestle Mason,” Cornwell said. “He’s one of the top kids in the nation. It opened my eyes to what I need to be like and what I need to be training for. It really helped me step up to that next level.” Cornwell committed to improving in the offseason, with a focus on pushing the pace and scoring. His mission is to score as many takedowns and points as possible. He wrestled over 100 matches during the offseason and feels right now he’s at the best he’s ever been. “Kyle has a funk to him that he’s been getting into for the last few years,” Elwood coach Fred Short said. “He likes to do the scrambling like they do in college. In high school it’s a little weird to see when you’re not used to it. He is a lot slicker now than he was last year. I think a lot of that is because of wrestling with Jalen and really having to be quick against him.” Cornwell’s goals this season were to go undefeated and win a state championship. Elwood, as a team, is down this season. The team had 10 wrestlers early on but are down a few since that time. Coach Short, who has been a wrestling coach in some capacity since the early 1980s, is retiring after this season. View full article

    Is there a deeper weight class than the 132 at EVV? Garcia, Boe, Campbell, Egli, and Cash!

  5. So Perry gets a fall at 182 because Clayton is a "big move guy", but Mater Dei can't get a fall at 113, 120, 126 or 132? Also Perry seems to have two guys who "show up in dual meets". I guess the Mater Dei guys don't care about dual meets. Seems like fair, unbiased reporting.

  15. Video of all the Finals at this link, including Blake Boarman and Matt Lee from MD and Lawson Aiken and Drake Campbell from BB. They are not in order. Scroll to the bottom for the videos. Also, contrary to the opinions of some on here, Matt Lee did not win OW Wrestler. The awards were: Lower-weight MOW: 106 Casey Swiderski (Dundee) Upper-weight MOW: 160 Alex Facundo (Davison) Most Falls in Least Time: Alex Facundo (Davison) Grappler Gold Results and Finals Video

    170 and 82 are tough too...Imho 82 has 3 podium placers if there isn't death draw for ticket round with brewer, carson and bellamy.. 170 has south, Blubaugh,McCartney and baptiste are all killers too... Last year was my first year at any SS other than NC and I must admit its right there with NC.. awesome environment and elite talent...132 though looks the deepest and def is 1 of the deepest at any weight or a semi state.

    It's almost like there's multiple levels in the tournament. We have our front runners. A battle in the middle 4-6, and then a third tournament with everyone else battling for 7 and beyond.

    I think Homestead takes it, Oak Hill will be a close second, Jay County taking third. What are we thinking outside of the top 3?

    If past results did not matter then why seed the wrestlers? Based on what I've seen, Swallow wins over Shaffer. I am not doubting the off-season effort or work ethic of anyone. I'm sure they are both great kids who worked hard. All in on Parrish at 160. Jason, you are in Winchester right? What are your thoughts on the Union City guys?

    Fun championship match for 120. Possibilitiy for McCammon or Jones to make a name for themselves with a championship at 145.

  25. Geez, I wish indianamat would get on board create a section where we could see everyone's schedule for the year, i mean the results section is ok, minus the "NO DETAILS" ones or maybe the state could provide everyone, for free, with a trackwrestling account to list all of their schedules, rosters, and post their results as well.

  28. The Stone Quarry is now going to be packed tonight for a "We hate Carmel" meeting. Thank Mike. I'm glad I don't have to seed this. Dual results vs tourney results, guys missing/replaced/backups/lineup changes/etc. This one would be tough.

  29. Lee teched and pinned everyone in a weight class that had 2 nationally ranked wrestlers yesterday. Warren will be lucky to avoid the same fate. If he keeps it to only a major he’ll be very lucky.
