Coach Cronk was a great mentor! Always positive, funny, teaching young boys to be well mannered men. I still use many of his philosophies today in the wrestling room! He will be greatly missed.

Hockaday - I will go with my "seen most recent" bias (2 matches to 1) Brooks - #1 in Nation? (2-0) Leavell beats 120lb Wilson...not 130lb Wilson (2-1) Micic - #1 in Nation(2-0) Lee - #2 in Nation (not sure why Red isn't in for a mini-barcket) (2-0) Tsirtis - #1 in Nation (2-0) Mendez - #1 or 2 in Nation (2-1) LeCount - Beat some of the best kids in the nation (2-0) B. Lee - Exciting match, I think the gas tank wins it (2-1) Slivka - Kid finds a way (2-0) Hughes - at some point, he gets on top (2-1) Rypel - #1 or 2 in Nation? (2-0) Allred - #1 in Nation (2-0) Parris - barn burner (2-1) Adams - Just a guess, but size wins over speed (2-0) Streck

hahahahahaha, now that is some funny stuff @Y2CJ41 I like Joe and would never want to battle him. I have seen a recent pic of @TripleB however and I believe we are in the same weight class now so that guy I have some built up angst for !!!! @UncleJimmy that was COVID times during that pic, I couldn't get out to get a haircut and needed a new shaver after only getting half way thru the job. I have cleaned it all up now and again look more like Tom Cruise again.

Wait...is @JMILLMilton from Office Space without the glasses? Who knew?????

RIP Steve

Rest in peace,y condolences to his family and friends.

Well said BTR... he's been my sidekick for many years and we've had a lot of fun. He loved his family first, the Marine Corps second, and his officiating circles next. He set a world record for most black eyes in one season, too

Anyone feeling so inclined can make a donation to Steve's family to cover his funeral expenses at the link below. Steve was a great man with a kind heart who loved wrestling. He meant a lot to many in the Northwest Indiana officiating circles. He will definitely be missed. https://www.gofundme.com/f/wmp38s-cover-my-dads-medical-bills

R.I.P Steve. My prayers go out to the Bramer family.

Congratulations to the Tar Heel State! North Caroline will sanction girls high school wrestling for the 2023-2024 season. Awesome!

Hey all, just wanted to get on here and post that former Head Coach of Shenandoah High, Kelly Cronk, passed away peacefully last week. Not sure how many know of his history or coaching resume as he coached for 24 years with 1999 being his last year. Even I did not know how big he was in the area until really I got to high school and that was after having him as my teacher in middle school lol just thought he was a guy asking me weird questions about my wrestling all the time (no joke). Then I learned how big of a persona and coach he was in the New Castle area and hearing stories from guys like Coach Black Sr. and Coach Hamm & Hale, Coach Walker, Coach Lewis, Coach Widner, my dad and many more did I truly realize I had the pleasure of meeting a once in lifetime man. Just some quick facts about the legend, he was known for the "Tasmanian" devil as the mascot and his Coach Gable like coaching approach; He took 8 wrestlers to state during time, having a few placers with 1 being a runner up; Coach was inducted into Indiana Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1999; I know I'm forgetting many other things I'm forgetting, but Coach did all of this in wrestling after learning about the sport in college and participating in Ball State's club team, never wrestled legitimately . RIP Coach Cronk, you will truly be missed seeing at a scores table or head table at a Shenandoah or New Castle wrestling event. I'm sure there are guys like FCFighter and Coach Black and many others with knowledge of Coach, just wanted Indiana wrestling to know we lost a brother. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/thecouriertimes/name/kelly-cronk-obituary?id=36124476&utm_source=webshareapi&utm_medium=share_button&utm_campaign=wsapimobile_beta&fbclid=IwAR11uvQ9VuV0R20VXY2Q1aq_jf25M2cRj90sp_P9PlPoTckcst1QZbgtYDI

Prayers to the family, Steve was a great man, I remember he reffed a lot of my matches in high school he was a bit older but he did his best cause he loved the sport, He reffed a lot in NWI not sure if he made it to other parts of the state, RIP Steve.
