What’s not good is that you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about

First off I want to let everyone know I usually do not read threads on here and I just now signed up to be able to post because it sickens me to see these “likes” and comments! While I do not condone the issue of using plastics, I also do not know the full story on what recently took place at Carmel High School, nor do any of you! It makes me sad that I see such negative comments towards my high school coach, knowing he has done SO much for many programs and for the state of Indiana. I am not going to sit here and tell you that I have agreed with everything Coach P has done, there have been times we haven’t seen things eye to eye.....But I am not going to forget everything else he stands for and the many improvements he has brought to the wrestling community in Indiana. Nobody is perfect! We all make mistakes, some more public than others. It saddens me to see so many people that have reaped the benefits of his presence in wrestling get on this thread and bash him and “like” derogatory comments about him. Coaching isn’t easy and dealing with most parents does NOT make it fun. One of the fundamental rules I live my life by is “never kick a man when he is down”. I will put aside my thoughts and opinions and I CHOOSE to reach out and anyone who is down I try to help them rise again and become better! One bad decision does not define you!!! It is when you are down you will find your true friends, I am here for P. Writing thoughtless posts on message boards while hiding behind a keyboard is also a great way to burn bridges ..... something else I try very hard never to do! Leroy Vega

Team Garcia + TheCounty does not a secret make

It was a fluke, I pinned him four times this week in practice.

Potoski, CP upset #2 state ranked Donovan, Hebron at CP sectional

Might keep your eye on Senior Avon -145 Camden Chatterton just beat #1 seed to make the finals here at Avon .

I would ask that everybody ask their fans to not boo the kids or coaches at Bankers Life. No kid deserves that kind of treatment. Thank you.

Region sports network is doing the live coverage of sectionals, regionals, and semi state. Todays coverage will be of the finals at Portage sectionals and crown point sectional. https://www.regionsports.com/wrestling/

Then why you duckin Poppe?!? You should have confidence heading toward SS . @Sword it was not a fluke. Looks to be a match that could go either way. Muncie came out on top today.

That’s a state record 42 consecutive sectional titles.

Looks like Mater Dei dominated from start to finish. lost one match in final round.

#7 in the ss Alex Castro upset number 4 in the state Andrew Donahue 3-2 in Plymouth sectionals.

got a banged up knee from last week and did what was best for his health.. it's a tall tall task with 2 legs let alone a hurt leg.. nothing to gain wrestling banged up.. survive,advance and rest up the leg..It was in his best interest and I stood behind it 100%.. Congrats to Brewer he looked awesome today.

I totally agree with this statement. 75% of the posts in this forum are sadly about the seedlings of the kids, and I haven’t seen much of anything talking about the health of the athletes. Can we call a spade a spade and acknowledge this is terrible for your body? Do you all think it’s odd that the wrestling community on average is significantly shorter than those outside of it? Do you think it’s just a coincidence or could it possibly be years of depriving your body of nutrients during critical periods of growth?

a forfeit is not a punishment that is a slap on the wrist........................................................

There were consequences...time to move on. Not every rule break deserves suspension from the tournament. Good luck to all today!

Rules aren't changed from last year except for the one that was announced in all the IHSWCA minutes in the spring: teams have to have 7 guys to be counted toward classification. Classification won't be finalized until all the Forfeit data is finalized after this weekend, as always. No other rules have changed in the last 4 years. Sorry for the delay with Categories. We want them to be as accurate as possible, so we do the tabulations late in the year. We're all volunteers with full-time jobs, so if a key cog is consumed by his full-time life, we sadly get set back. I finally got the last pieces of what I needed at 2am, so we're pushing through to get it done this morning. Good luck today, everyone!

Darn you for making this thread. I’ve had a note saved in my phone from over summer, waiting for these state finals to be over to show how difficult the 2016 106 weight class turned out to be.

Oh ok, I get it now since you used all caps lock.

Has nobody learned not to bash people (especially high school kids) until the whole story comes out? I’ve been searching for info most of the day but have only found one vague article and a bunch of people on here ready to execute them. It all seems strange to me because some of these duals were from early December. Who knew about these for most of the season and waited to report it until until the right before sectionals? By everyone’s comments here, that person also put all these kids’ lives in danger for a couple months for not reporting it sooner. The article I read did state that Carmel’s Athletic Dept self reported the violations to the IHSAA as soon as they learned of it. But there was no info on how they were told. I’m going to choose to wait on my judgement and what an appropriate punishment would be until more info comes to light.

Anyone else find it weird that this guy created an account just to call for the suspension of wrestlers?

The 8 wrestlers and the coach should be suspended for the tournament as well as the school be put on probation for all sports due to this not only a state violation but a national one as well

Best wishes for a great kid! We hope everything is ok and he is good to go again by next weekend! - Coach Tonte & Dub-C wrestling team

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to rotate the sectional sites? That is as long as other schools wanted to host. And of course have the facilities to do so.

Thanks - that kid gives us cardiac arrest on a regular basis. Ha

Are you really going to say you can hit a move with super in it?

Jay County Sectional 195 Finals Unranked Chandler Chapman Jay County over State #7 Cale Gray Norwell 12-11

Sollars dominated from start to finish.

FC 170 at Mooresville was nasty that year!

Stewart mossholder over victor lee 7-3

I'd go with the following: Micic - think he'll win it all.... 99.6% he'll AA Lee - 87.8% he will AA; 46.2% he'll finish top 4 Parris - 67.8% he will AA; 32.3% he'll finish top 4 Red - 44.1% he will AA Lydy - 19.4% he will AA Harvey - 15.6% he will AA

At 106 at Elkhart Memorial, unranked Olsen of Goshen pins SS #8 Johnson of Elk Central and wins 6-2 over SS #7 Graber of Northridge to take the title.

2 years ago sophomore 30-5 @170 Trizton Carson vs returning State runner Up B.Vanhorn... VanHorn was beat by Eventual state Champion Stock in the semis and Got 3rd at sectionals.. Carson lost to SQ Ciccerelli 7-5 in finals setting up the 2 vs 3 Brutal first round regional match...To top it off the Top 4 from that regional all advanced through To state (hayes,ciccerelli, state champion Stock and Vanhorn)with mooresville legendary regional adding another chapter to its dominant story..

Does that vacate the semi-state win or something?

This is a total guess, but maybe the difference is that Carmel High School self reported the violation to the IHSAA? Punishments are usual lower if it is self reported as opposed to trying to hide it from them. Again, I don’t know anything about you or your situation, so this is just a guess not meant to be a personal attack. If the situations aren’t exactly the same, then the punishments probably won’t be either.

Daniel Park lake central d Shawn Hollis Lowell 1-0

Here are Genius POTENTIAL ratings for 2019. Remember that these ratings are 100% points-based, not wins/losses based. In general, they are a better predictor of true talent and future success than wins/losses based ratings. However, in some cases of significantly different schedule strength between two teams, there is more variance to how intuitive the ratings come out. The edition below includes every dual and tournament result on IndianaMat for the whole season. The difference in points between two teams is roughly the point difference by which the higher rated team would be expected to win a dual. The foundational algorithm used for these ratings is one of the main baseline algorithms used for setting Vegas point spreads and professional and college sports computer ratings.

Not really big upsets, but from the semifinals in Avon: Tyler Conley dec Camden Spears 5-2 Logan Boe dec Drake Campbel 6-1

Please discontinue hating on Carmel’s wrestling program. there is a history of many unsung heroes that devoted many hours trying to get that program better at wrestling - just like everybody else’s programs. Thanks, Scott Kelly

Thanks to Mike, Caleb, Phil, and Howie for another great year of rankings East Chicago Fort Wayne Evansville New Castle https://indianamat.com/index.php?/individual_rankings.html/new-castle-final-r149/

Why should any teams follow weight loss rules? If these kids or coaches aren't suspended, the IHSAA sets the precedent that nobody has to follow weight loss rules. Regardless of your thoughts on if they should/n't be allowed to wrestle, no punishment says that the "rules" are guidelines.

WTF was the Pit of Misery closed for cleaning that day or what? I remember wearing those things for baseball back in the day to keep the arm warm.

Jason just loves the sport. A very loyal man, who has never forgot his roots. When needed, he always stood in the corner of my kids match to offer any support they my need. I know he means the world to them. Good Luck this weekend Andrea. The Kieffer's

He's not going anywhere. He's Perry Meridian's biggest supporter! More specifically, he's their 189#'s biggest fan.

its showing him that people dnt care if he wrestles or not it looks like they would rather not have him be apart of the sport and if he doesnt want to be apart of the sport he is not trying to get other people into the sport and that means that the sport just lost someone that might of talked other kids or even his own kids into wrestling one day

What do ya think Jason...Andre vs. Daniel at Conseco next year????? I like the idea!!! Just not Friday night!

Dre, you are the man. Future looks bright. Congrats on a great spring and soon to be an awesome summer. PM Coaching staff
