Call it Jimtown bias, but I find it a bit disrespectful to say Mendez is a sure pick that will dominate a returning state champion. I also don’t see Conner Gimson being dominated, even by Rooks. He’s incredibly strong and very hard to score on.

Al Smith!! More 4 time state champs in Indiana than 4 time champs of al smith

106: Cottey 113: Seltzer 120: Littel 126: Watts 132: Gimson 138: Gimson 145: Warren 152: Schoenegge 160: Slivka 170: South 182: LaPlace 195: Potosky 220: Fowler 285: Atria Lots of great weight classes. Watts/Mendez and Gimson/Rooks are the potential matches I’m really looking most forward to. I also predict at least two kids don’t win Saturday but finish their season with a state championship.

I really appreciate how Indianamat is showcasing our Indiana wrestlers this is a great thing for our state and sport,

Want wish all of you coaches a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Hope you all are able to relax and enjoy your families. Good luck on your second half of the year. Blessings

5 times. According to wrestlestats he is 13-5 on the season with 9 of the 13 coming at the Doane Open against D2, NAIA, and 2 year college competition (Northwest Kansas Technical College). I am pretty sure that he only wrestled 6 matches there though as some look like duplicates on wrestlestats. So his real record appears to be 10-5. With one of the teams at the Doane Open sending two reps in the weight class, 1 of those 6 wins was against the second string at D2, NAIA, etc.... So against D1 Chad stands at 4-5 on the season. Something just seems off. I hope he does find that magic again.

Red’s has had some tough losses the first part of this season. I’m not sure if it’s the college grind, not stabilizing his weight, needing to adapt to top guys scouting him better, or just in a mental funk, but if anything can get him a little more hyped up it likely a rematch with Lee. Red likes to prove the doubters wrong and I’m sure he still recalls hearing from several people that he won the first encounter due in part to Lee’s regular season injury layoff. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn’t. But getting another shot to prove he’s to better wrestler of these two Indiana titans has to give him a little added motivation. I’m sure Lee as well would love to show everyone how far he’s came since that epic HS match by trying to open the score wide up. He maybe far enough remove from the first match to not dwell on the loss, but when you see Nebraska on upcoming meet schedule you can’t help but have some flashback and want a little redemption. Based on their recent showing I’d give Lee the advantage. He’s scoring in bunches against solid competition and the Rec Hall crowd can just gets the PSU wrestled to a whole new gear. But you know Red will do all he can to keep the match within reach and show he’s still can find a way to edge out Lee.
