Madison Grant gets their first ever qualifier at Heavyweight

Just sending out my congratulations to Jimtown on winning what I am pretty sure is their first team semi-state championship, spearheaded by their three individual champions. Congrats to Coach Maggart and your three champions.

Look we get it, he’s injured as you’ve pointed out numerous times. Glad he’s made it but let the injury thing go man.

The kids dont have any choice in the schedule they wrestle. But if you feel better putting them down, great for you.

My vote for most dominating performance goes to Silas Allred. He pinned everyone, with the longest match going about a minute and a half. Wow

Great match. Casebolt is a great kid. Just emotional wrestling his last match ever.

What a great article on Warsaw's Jacob Bass who qualified for semi-state this weekend. http://www.inkfreenews.com/2019/02/08/once-a-slave-warsaws-jacob-bass-celebrates-freedom-through-wrestling/

It can be argued that those :02 were the difference thay gave Brownsburg the team title. Montgomery scored 15.5 team points. BB won by 13.5. Every second counts and Brownsburg proved it today.

Big Congrats to Terrell Leavell of Lawrence Central..Placing 3rd after beating the #2 and #4 ranked wrestlers in the state!!!

Dalton was super slick today!

Swin right you are! Brownsburg was supreme at team state and at evansville semi state...again. Bburg puts seven in the finals? Insane. 1. #thecounty = #brownsburgwannebes. Everyone gets the fact that Hendricks county has great wrestling. What Hendricks county does not get is that Brownsburg stands alone. 2. A GREAT day of wrestling was diminished by a smallish crowd. What’s up with that? A historically loaded field generated no more ticket sales than this? 3. While 152, 170 and 220 were thrilling, the balance of the finals was a snooze fest. The notable exceptions were Avon’s Carson Brewer and Mater Dei’s Matt Lee. Both had a great sense of urgency and made it look like offense matters. Well done, gentlemen. 4. The refs were terribly inconsistent. Returning the bottom man to the mat is clear cut—evansville rules say you can take 20-30 seconds to accomplish that. I’m a fan of Macartney Parkinson and Nick South. However, riding parallel on the hips for two minutes without so much as a warning is ridiculous. What’s going to happen at state? Will Bburg’s depth carry them to a state title? It’s not hard to imagine Avon or Mater Dei producing two or three state champs...it will be hard for the dogs to top that. Cathedral will likely have challengers to MD’s horses...the Irish could prove to be the spoiler, or the winner. stay tuned.

Big Lawson Aiken of Bburg fresh off signing his D1 football scholarship completes a heckuva week by beating Bolte of Columbus East for the 220 lbs Semi-State title! And The Burg sends 9 to The Bank! Keys coming up at HWT.

@182 brewer 14-2 over Bellamy

Just wanna commend everybody for keeping info on one thread today!! So much easier to follow without clicking all over. Congrats...carry on.

Congrats to FCC Fighter (sp?) Been cheering for Carson to punch his ticket. Long time coming.

Reynolds(Av) over Mayer(EMD)

Elijah Anthony......Boom Baby!! 10-5 easily advances to state. Congratulations, keep it up. Keep turning heads.

Krummen of East Central was down 15-6 to Tremor Bynum of Pendleton. They actually called a pin for Bynum at the end of the second period but then it was determined the pin came after the buzzer. Krummen ends up pinning Bynum in the third.

Huge win by Nick Lee. That was one of the biggest gas tanks you are going to see. McKenna looked huge, but those muscles need oxygen. He made almost no attempt to get off bottom in the final 32 seconds. Well and truly gassed. It looked like Lee clearly saw that before he cut him.

Nick Lee fought back and took the lead late in the 3rd periodto get the 7-6 victory over OSU #2 Joey McKenna a bit ago. Same score as when they met last year when Joey won. Nice win over the reigning Big 10 champ.

Wow, very impressive!

Aiden Warren @145 will be a tough out as a 4.

He probably means if Kreitzer is injured then Cash will come in as 4 seed.

Gimsons from Jimtown both won their weight classes.

Been on da down low. Dealing wit some family stuff. Da Rat is all fine and dandy. Well wraslin fans da rest of da state better tighten up dare jock straps because da rats will be rolling down 65 dis week. Ready to pillage all of da gold. Securing da brinks truck to bring back all of da bounty. Da 250 will be rollin down to nap town.

I would add JJ Conway of Floyd Central to that list. I was very impressed with the freshman.

Bburg 9 thru, 2 champs with the Big Fellas Aiken and Keys. #PainTrain

I hate being involved like that. I realize that it is part of the job, and I will never shy away from making what I think is the right call. That being said, it is always nice to find out what others thought, and I have thick skin, I will take whatever they have to say.

I have no dog in the fight, that being said, I was standing behind the table during that match and I thought you made the right call. The fall came just after the buzzer.

Or you could argue the fact that collectively as a team they were solid. They posted 15 matches today with bonus points.

Brewer from Avon deserves some mention...dominating day for him. And Asa being Asa. As well as Aiken who 1st period pinned his way to the finals then defeated the #1 dude in the semi-state. Hashtag TheCounty Biz*&#!

He had a great day today. It was awesome to see.

Harris loses to #1 Watts but Roncalli wins team title by 6.5 points over Cathedral!

Roncalli clinches team title at New Castle! 5 qualifiers with 4 champions and one more match to go!

I predicted 8 for MD but I was wrong. They are sending 9. I wasn't wrong with my other prediction though

thank you bro! 2 years straight he's been in ticketRound badly injured and gave his all!

Left in ticket round emd 10 brownsburg 10 columbus east 9 avon 9

Casebolt vs Montgomery match. Casebolt with a late takedown with :20 to take the lead then gives up reversal with :02 left. Showed little class afterwards as well.

Jimmy “Bean” Tonte and the Warriors are fired up and ready to Wrastle!!!!!!

Which is funny because I was questioning that cut when he made it. Shows what I know! He did the same last year. Worked this year, not so much last year. But you are exactly right about McKenna expending a ton of energy in the first period.

Get the streaming set up for the first match, will ya?

Well it’s off to bed folks, super excited about tomorrow, should be a great day of wrestling got to be at the Ford Center at 5:30 AM to get everything set up for it. Can’t wait!

So the IU guy picks Bellemy. Look forward to this class tomorrow. I promise TheCounty kids will be motivated by the picks.

Yeah this is always one of my favorite events of the year, been attending the Merrillville/EC semi-state for the past 20 years since my brother lost in the blood round his senior year...up until the last couple because of my injury that has kept me from attending. I really appreciate the coverage you do @ontherise219 on local wrestling it is always first class work.

WOW! What a young man to still have the perseverance to keep living life to the fullest!

Nick: Where you at bro?! Indianamat HS forum MISSES YOU! Baxter's Dad
