Answer: Every ex-wrestler over 40 years old

First post?! You hit class wrestling, wrestle backs, seeding and sanctioning girls wrestling. Quite a entrance!

Adams Central is a small school (1A) that has had a bunch of qualifiers and placers. This year is our 23rd year in a row with a representative at the state finals. Also 41 out of the last 42 years a kid has qualified. Most of the kids are multi sport athletes as well. 2 of our 3 qualifiers this year were 1st team Junior All State in Football this season.

Hey ... errrrrbody Just another reason why my *** Genius Idea *** to just pin a ‘Class Wrestling Forum’ so these Class Wrestling pop ups can go and say, argue, debate, compare stats, Joe with his spreadsheets he has data on . I won’t be visiting cause I love the system we are in now. THERE I SAID IT ! Bye .... errrrbody

One single class. We dont need anything else. The other stuff sure go for it.

Crawford County- Donnie Feeler 450 students Donnie the 1st State Qualifier from this school as announced at Jasper SS and I think he’s going to give #1 ranked Bailey fits Friday night. Would not surprise me if he wins and becomes their 1st State Placer as well .

My man Sam Osho from Avon was tough. He’s currently ranked 5th in the NAIA national rankings.

Jeivan Ross of Warren Central • 4× Sectional Champion • 4× Semi-State Qualifier (4× Quarterfinalist) Jade McCammon of Sullivan • 4× Semi-State Qualifier (4× Quarterfinalist) • USAW Cadet and Junior Freestyle and Greco-Roman All-American • Cadet Silver World Medalist

Jade McCammon of Sullivan and Hunter Hughes of Jeffersonville have to be near the top of the list.

Bad boys bad boys...whatcha gonna do?? I’m hearing from a reliable source that trouble is coming....should be fun.

Hanover central - Andrew Howe Stevan Micic, Paul Petrov...7 state titles between the 3

By Drew Hughes With the 2021 state tournament approaching the team race looks to be as exciting as ever. The way that I see it there are 5 teams that will be neck and neck this year for the title: Evansville Mater Dei, Crown Point, Indianapolis Cathedral, Chesterton, and Perry Meridian. While all of these teams have a shot at the crown, they will all need certain things to go their way. Mater Dei: With 7 state qualifiers but 4 of those 7 receiving some unfavorable draws they will need some big wins to stay in the team race. With these bad draws being semi-state champ Reed Egli drawing into #1 Alex Cottey first round, Cole Ross potentially running into #1 Sergio Lemley in the quarters, Alec Freeman potentially having #3 Aidan Torres in the quarters, and returning state champ Blake Boarman on the same side as #1 Jesse Mendez. These draws possibly limiting the number of people they can put in the finals it might just kill their chances at a team title. Potential team scores not including bonus points: Worst case: 59 points Best case: 136 points My Prediction: 78 points Crown Point: With the loss of a potential title contender Cody Goodwin, they might be just short of what they need to win the title. With 8 state qualifiers and 6 of those qualifiers ranked higher than their Friday night opponents, the Bulldogs are going to need to pick up some big wins on Saturday morning to win the title. These key potential quarters match ups that they need to go their way are #5 Sam Goin over #4 Bryce Lowery, #7 Stephen Roberson over #4 Kysen Montgomery, #3 Javen Estrada over #5 J Conway, and #5 Orlando Cruz over #4 Kade Law. With a few of these wins and their other guys wrestling up to their rankings they do still have a shot at the title. Potential team scores not including bonus points: Worst case: 52 points Best case: 146 points My Prediction: 93 points Indianapolis Cathedral: The reigning team state champs for the last 3 years, Cathedral will be looking for its 4th in a row on Saturday. Bring 6 qualifiers with them they are going to need to be at their best to get it done. With everyone ranked above their Friday night opponents they will need some big wins Saturday morning to have a chance at the title. Some of these big potential quarterfinal matches include #2 Evan Dickey vs. #1 Jeffery Bailey, #12 Dillion Graham vs. #9 Tony Wood, #9 Ulrik Urasky vs. #2 Pate Eastin, and #4 Johnny Parker vs. #6 Harris Eason. Cathedral will need to win a few of these matches as well as #3 Andrew Wilson potentially upsetting #2 Brody Baumann in the semis to repeat as team state champions. Potential team scores not including bonus points: Worst case: 44 points Best case: 98 points My Prediction: 72 points Chesterton: Coming off a tight semi-state title over Crown Point and bringing 8 guys to Bankers Life Chesterton is in a good spot to steal this team title. With only one wrestler ranked under their Friday night opponent they will need some big wins on Saturday. With some key potential quarterfinal matches being #10 Hayden DeMarco vs. #6 Coy Hammack, #1 Sergio Lemley vs. #4 Cole Ross, #3 Aidan Torres vs. #1 Alec Freeman, #10 Ethan Kaiser vs. #6 Hunter May, #6 Brock Ellis vs. #7 Tyer Conley, #4 Gavin Layman vs. #1 Drake Buchanan, and #10 Gage Demarco vs. #6 Harris Eason. Chesterton will need to a few upsets in theses matches to stay in the title race. Potential team score not including bonus points: Worst case: 45 points Best case: 121 points My Prediction: 91 points Perry Meridian: Perry comes into this weekend with 9 state qualifiers and only 3 of those 9 being ranked under their Friday night opponents if things go their way, we could see Perry bring home their first title since 2013. With their key potential quarterfinal matches being #3 Toby Billerman vs. #4 Evan Seng, #2 Mathew Koontz vs. #11 Aidan Hardcastle, #13 Jajuan Dale vs. #11 Codei Khawaja, and #10 Jeffrey McClure vs. #5 Josh Howell. The real key for Perry’s path to a title will come from their returning champ and 3-time finalist Alex Cottey to be health after injury defaulting to 4th place last weekend. Potential team score not including bonus points: Worst case: 39 points Best case: 107 points My prediction: 74 points Based off of my predictions before taking bonus points into account I have the team placement going: #1 Crown Point with 93 points #2 Chesterton with 91 points #3 Mater Dei with 78 points #4 Perry Meridian with 74 points #5 Cathedral with 72 points Bonus points are going to be the deciding factor in this team race with the potential for any of these 5 teams to come away with the title come Saturday.

People don't want class wrestling because they value pageantry over the health of smaller programs. "But muh spotlight"

What about Carson Willis from castle? 4x ticket rounder, 2018- Loses to Mills from Brownsburg 5-1 2017- loses to Graham rooks from Columbus east 9-1 2016- loses to Hudkins from Danville 21-8 2015- loses to Skaggs from Avon 13-1 thats a pretty hard draw 4 years in a row

Here is my top 4, not in any order (Please excuse my nepotism): Chris Gonzales (Muncie Southside) - 4X Semi-State Ticket Rounder Curtis Smith (Jeffersonvile) - 4X Regional Champ, 3X ticket Rounder Justin Eshelman (Pendleton Heights) - Always in Regional with 2 multiple time State Champs Jade McCammon (Sullivan) - 4X Semi-State Qualifier (4X ticket rounder, I believe)

They should change the name of Semi-State to State and change State to Super-State. That way we will have 4 State Champs for each weight class and 1 Super-State Champ. Lol.

Mater Dei has 7.

Be ready for this 15 person parlay to hit and when it does I’ll be expecting all the bananas in my crypto bank. 106: Dickey/Billerman (Dickey) 113: Ruble/Cottey (Ruble) 120: Graham/Sprague (Graham) 126: Seltzer/Schoeff (Seltzer) 132: Montgomery/ Pierson (Montgomery) 138: Mendez/ Goodwin (Mendez) 145: Reynolds/Watson (Reynolds) 152: Anderson/ Koontz (Anderson) 160: Major/Wilson (Major) 170: Hall/Urasky (Hall) 182: Sollars/Laymen (Sollars) 195: Flipdawg/ Parker (Flipdawg) 220: Ruhlman/ Streck (Ruhlman) HWT: Muncie/ Shafer (Muncie) Team: DA SWAMP

You did this just to hurt my heart since Madison has had input on best to never qualify and best to never win but, here it goes. Beat the who's who throughout his 4 years. Michael Miller(Madison) 4x SQ Losses on Friday Night: Alex Tsirtsis Dillon Whitacre Eric Aue Cahmelan Porter

What about #7 in the country at 174 as a freshman DJ Washington?

Michael Galbreath Madison - two time runner up, lost in OT his senior year to some fluf from Belmont. Hayes, Myers, Baker, I don’t remember which one.

My son used Shout at the Devil by Motley Crue this weekend. Brought a tear to my eye.

Brandon James • 4× IHSAA All-State (3rd, 5th, 2nd, 3rd) • 2014 FloNationals All-American at 120 lbs. – 3rd Place (Defeated Chad Red Jr. in 3rd Place Match; only Indiana wrestler to defeat Red in high school) • USAW Cadet and Junior Freestyle All-American

Zach Adams - Madison - 4x ticket rounder, headlocked a Welch through the floor in the ticket round his jr year. He beat the SS champ his sophomore year at Regionals. Had wins over runner up and third place his senior year. Beat multiple state placers over his 4 years. Ticket round losses to Rueger, Milton, Welch and VanHorn For a 1 year run - 1997 Jeremy Johnson from Madison was undefeated and ranked top 5 in state. Stuck the #2 ranked kid at Team Semi-State, beat the eventual 7th place finisher about 8 times that year and majored the 3rd place finisher in a dual before losing to him 3-1 in the ticket round. Joe Pinnick of Jeffersonville was a hammer right along w Hunter Hughes. Jeff had a murders row w Doherty, Rosbottom, Pinnick, Hughes, Koch, Stith, Bowman and Ware. That Jeff team was

Per our guy Robert Faulkens he said that they are investigating and have already found like 34 people who got tickets that were for others.

Saturday morning is my favorite round of the entire tournament. So many great wrestlers and great matchups. Only wish I could be there to watch in person this year. Those 4 mats are loaded Saturday morning.

Nope just speak my mind, even when it gets me in trouble.. Got nothing but love for all y'all and that might be why I get so many nanners.. I've given a few away too or I'd have more.. It's no fun if the homies don't get some!

Was Team Garcia a ghost writer on this book?

Turkey run had Pribble..Doah had Allred, gettinger and Gonzalez at Connersville.. Josh pope was a SQ at Blue River..

@Galagoreburner account? Welcome to the board.. either that or Joe likin' all the traffic so why not start 10 threads! SMH.... To stay on topic. Hopefully never..maybe someday..hopefully someday...hopefully soon.

There should be only one state champ in a weight class, there has been many schools and wrestlers that are still able to compete at a high level from small schools, wrestlings a rare sport that relies on work ethic rather than numbers of bodies at school or athleticism. If you look at the kids doing successful in Indiana it’s not because they’re at a big school it’s because they work their tail off in the off-season as well as during season. Also labeling multiple kids state champs devalues that label as there would always be talk on who was the actual best wrestler in each weight class. If you have a champion mindset every person should be striving to be the best in the state not the best kid in schools population under 200 kids.

Winamac had Chris Kasten - 2 time State Champ

Union County also had Casey Caldwell, Joey Gibbs, Chris Barnhizer, and Rocky Moore. Winchester had a guy by the name of Adam Chalfant.

Fiechters from Southern Wells

I made some updates and much needed changes to our IndianaMat brackets. First I have one set with state ONLY rankings and one with both semi-state and state rankings. Second, I added past state experience for each weight. Third, fixed the format of the semi-state and state rankings so it's a little easier to read. I'll probably have one more small update with match numbers, but if that's not important print them out. IndianaMat with semi-state and state rankings IndianaMat with state rankings ONLY

Sawyer Miller from South Adams. Place 4th, 3rd, and 2nd and was an NAIA national champion.

Lay off the drunk posting kiddo. Smh

106: Billerman 113: Cottey 120: Lemley 126: Seltzer 132: Freeman 138: Boarman 145: Wagner 152: Koontz 160: Bauman 170: Hall 182: Sollars 190: Pack 220: Bates 285: Shafer

I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be great to void those tickets and thank these low-lifes for their contribution to the IHSAA. To take an opportunity away from a parent to watch their child compete at this great event is a crime.

Randy baker, Conner Mullins, Brenden Campbell, Matt Jaggers,Mac Taylor, Logan Boe,Ray Rioux, Drake Campbell, Willy Campbell, Eric Motl(beat Kerkhoff badly every time they Tangled) , Terrell Coatie (beat 2x champ Danny williams and runner up Conkling same year) Nathan Walton,Zack Fattore, Andy Bertsch, Brandon Gonzalez,Vinnie cassaro, Charlie Pingleton.. Let's hear some more

Helped you out a little bit on your spelling errors . You figure being in College you know how to spell and use proper words in your sentences Champ . Sell yourself short like that. Just kindly deposit 5,000 bananas to #BananaCartel accounts for my editing skills . Thanks #TheCountyMafia Who wants to make a deal ?

Haha. On instinct I still get the feeling to this day that I should start tapping my feet back and forth on the floor any time I hear National Anthem.

Hes the only 3x runner up I can think of..

Hearing MSA’s Organ pay during warm-ups. Those that know. Know.

^^^^^^^

It won’t devalue a state champ. When you listen to the announcer at the ncaa they say he was a state champion, not he won a state championship at the small school level. Iowa and Indiana both have 6,000 male participants, and Iowa has class 1,2,3 as one class then they have by there self 4, 5, and 6 state champion. I watch Brownsburg almost have year round wrestling. Tri-west hasn’t won a dual in over 10 years. We continue to watch the larger programs winning. EMD, Brownsburg, Indianapolis Cathedral, P.M. Warren Central and other catholic teams. I lump EMD and other catholic schools in because they can recruit wrestlers. I’d like for Indiana to be know for having strong wrestling programs like in Pennsylvania. We have had class football go from 3a to 6a. Also boys basketball has been 4 classes for some time now. Do I think IHSAA will change for wrestling, no they won’t. I can watch Indiana high school basketball on tv for a normal game all the way to state. I can only watch the finals of wrestling. I could pay 12 dollars to see one mat with track wrestling, which just got taken over by FLO. Don’t worry this is only one person’s thoughts and it will fall on deaf ears.

Give em 5 minutes in a locked room with a grandma that was denied the ticket to see her grandson!

I got almost 100k bananas I'm ready to play!
