When is East Chicago gonna catch up with the Fort Wayne semi state

Only guy I’d add in would be Bryer Hall at 152, but idk what he’s been wrestling this summer so you may have him slotted fourth at 160. And I know Brady Welch is gonna be a stud, but he is he better than Fielden right now?

Catch up? I mustard ya wrong.

You need to be promoting that Dillon Graham kid instead of monkeying around promoting Freshman. Seems that Graham kid has beaten several of the kids that made the list. On a related note have you seen the size of Mr. Ocampo? He used to be in my son's weight class for years. He's a tad bigger these days

Reminds me when we went to Cici’s after weighins one time with the team (terrible). Mom in front of us had kids that were six foot tall and had to shave. She insisted that they were under 12 so she could get half off!

Apologies if I have missed a post on this already on the board. As you already know, Coach Rex Peckinpaugh has announced his retirement as head coach of the New Castle Trojans. I will not attempt to summarize his statement since it, like everything Rex does, was so well done. Check it out on Facebook. Rex thought long and hard about his decision and I am confident he has done the best thing, like always. Reading the posts from past Trojan wrestlers and friends of the program was like taking a walk back through time. Seeing the names with the posts sparked a lot of fond memories (except for when we wrestled them). Rex has been a leader and influential voice in Indiana high school wrestling so long that it is difficult to remember when he wasn't a force or to envision a future without him in that role. The good news is that Rex has no intention of disappearing. I'm sure we will see him at events and continue to enjoy his company. Thanks, Rex for all you have done to raise the profile of the sport in Indiana. The stats are truly amazing: Over 1000 dual meet wins, a win streak of over 100, dozens and dozens of state finalists, team runners-up in some epic matches and helping to host an awesome Semi-State, freestyle tournaments and Middle School State. But more than that, thanks for being such a great friend, rival and role model for how to treat athletes. There simply are no better people in the sport than the New Castle Wrestling Family.

I may be sick to my stomach if I have to root for Mendez at IU for four years

A pancake festival that Fort Wayne hosts each year at Carroll High School. They have some wrestling tournament on the side.
