The real state finals already happens at The Ford Center, the IHSAA just does the next weekend to avoid litigation.

Bring the State Tournament to Fort "Mini Indy" Wayne!!! They are willing to change the hockey game!!!!

We've got a great show planned for tonight, so tune in on 92.7 FM on your radio or on the Simple Radio app, or online at WZBD.com on your laptop or desktop computer as we interview assistant commissioner Robert Faulkens, go through the Jay County Regional brackets and interview coach Tony Abbott of Cowan High School. Don't miss our interview with Commissioner Faulkens in the first period! Show starts at 7 p.m.!

Banker's Life

The real question is after it's held at the Ford Center, does the IHSAA ever move it back? As my kids say "It'll be bussin'"

Solomey by Major Decision. Huyvaert makes it closer if they meet later

Save $$ on Coliseum parking by parking at Victory Bay in Joe's yard and catching the free Y2 Shuttle Service!

Get Faulkens to commit to Fort Wayne. We need to get Komet's Hockey to blank that date out.

Eazy E went to Erique Early senior in 1991.

Champs: 106- Haney 113- Jendreas 120- Jackson 126- Frazier 132- Vantichelt 138- Solomey 145- Torres 152- Rinehart 160- Goin 170- Goodwin 182- Cruz 195- White 220- Clark 285- Clark

That's cap

106: Jones 113: Jendreas 120: Jackson 126: Frazier 132: DeMarco 138: Solomey 145: Torres 152: Rinehart 160: Goin 170: Goodwin 182: Cruz 195: White 220: Clark 285: Clark Potential for as much as 12 regional champs from Crown Point, with the only ones with an unrealistic shot to win would be Sessa at 120 and Nowaczyk at 138, not that these two are not great wrestlers with lots of potential to make a run this year, but they will have to defeat monsters in Ashton Jackson and Cole Solomey, both ranked #1 at their weight classes. At 106, I'm still taking Jones, although Haney is closing the gap. He wrestled an excellent sectional, but I think Jones will be winning this match again. At 132, Tichelt has been wrestling great and does have a win over DeMarco, but DeMarco's ceiling seems to be much higher than Tichelt, and I think the best version of DeMarco wins pretty handily, and could even be a title contender. 145 is the last match that could go two different ways. I think Bahl is obviously good, but with a season that has been plagued with troubles and injuries, Torres should be the clear favorite here. I do really hope that we see Bahl at 100% by state, because he's definitely a good kid and I'd like to see a state title run happen. Other than that, I think it's safe to say that Crown Point has a minimum of TEN locks in this regional, with two more possible champs in Haney and Bahl. Also shoutout to Ashton Jackson, who will be likely be LaPorte's only regional champ this year, but we do have a couple more semi-state candidates in Josh England at 126, who has a tough first round matchup in #16 Guillermo Rivera, but is definitely a sleeper, then Chris Seadorf at 195, who can wrestle anybody tough, and then Devon Duschek at 220, who has a semi state ranked opponent round one, but is semi state ranked himself, making it a tough out for one of the two seniors.

If I were a betting man, how many points are you giving me on Huyvaert vs Solomey?

Congrats to our first semi-state qualifier Drew Waldon who has a forfeit in the first round!

In addition to Jesse getting a big win, Mason Parris capped off the dual looking as dominant as ever, getting a fall while leading 16-5.

Should be fun let’s hear your guy’s predictions to busy to give a full write out but here’s some predictions 106: Salazar > Chavez (fall or major decision) 113: schmittendorff> kite (decision) 120: sandefur > Bennett (decision) 126: Mason> Ashe (fall or major decision) 132: Walker > greene (fall or tech fall) 138: Harper> Robles (decision) 145: smith> eutsey (decision or major decision) 152: brabender>Denton (decision) but!!!

As results have come in there are all kinds of #sectionalshakeups! It seems like a lot of crazy matches and events that will affect regionals next week. Are there more this year than usual? What #sectional shakeups in the past have happened?

I'll set the over/under at 24.5 (about 21% of all placers) +100. This regional is brutal, but always produces state champ/placer quality.

Someone keep me posted on what Faulkens has to say, I can't get in to play in rural Steuben County

They are out! Check them out before the IHSAA closes them.. Death draws?

By STEVE KRAHstvkrh905@gmail.com Brayden Jellison is a two-time Elkhart Sectional champion at heavyweight. His 42-second pin in the finals Saturday, Jan. 28 helped the Elkhart Lions to a second straight IHSAA Elkhart Sectional team title. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Jellison heads to the Goshen Regional on Feb. 4 at 24-4 for the 2022-23 season after he went 35-10 and placed fourth at the Fort Wayne Semistate and sixth at the State Finals at 285 as a junior. “I’ve definitely come a long way,” says Jellison, who went to wrestling camps at Elkhart Central as a youngster. “I struggled freshman year and sophomore year.” View full article

Let's get the official Breaking News about state.

I'd put the house on it, but that's just me.

I thought he relinquished that title to become……… “The Predictor”

ol’ harder Carter they call him

You never! Ever! EVER!!! Count out Johnny Forfeit. He’s tricky!

The look on the teams face when I told them we already have a semi-state qualifier on the bus ride home

285. Parker"Gimme Mo" Hennessey Possibly the best name ever!!

Random Indiana kids I noticed in the FLO box scores for the week 165: Will Formato (APP) over Brodie Porter (CIT) (TF 18-0 5:44) 133: Blake Boarman (CHAT) over George Rosas (CIT) (Dec 3-2) 197: Carson Brewer (OHIO) over Cameron Wood (CMU) (Dec 3-1) 165: Tracy Hubbard (CMU) over Jordan Slivka (OHIO) (Dec 5-4 165: Nick South (IND) over Cooper Noehre (PUR) (SV-1 3-1) 197: Gabe Sollars (IND) over Hayden Filipovich (PUR) (Dec 4-0) 184: #16 Brian Soldano (RU) over Evan Bates (NW) (Dec 9-5) 197: Billy Janzer (RU) over Andrew Davison (NW) (SV-1 3-1) 285: #4 Lucas Davison (NW) over Kyle Epperly (RU) (Fall 3:44)

Broady was one of the most impressive wrestlers of the day. Dominant in the finals!

No particular order. Remember these are predictions......don't hate, I saw last week lol! Some of these kids I haven't seen so just guessed on a few. I did pick a couple based on who should win a fight between their school mascots.

It was a complete accident. Keegan went for a mat return at the end of the second. Braylon put his knees to his chest to land on all fours and the way the two boys moved at the same time landed Braylon on his forehead. It was scary being his coach but was a COMPLETE accident and nothing intentional or dirty. Braylon was taken to the hospital and released a few hours later. Hoping if Braylon is healthy for Saturday to see the rematch that safely goes the entire 6 mins.

What a thing of beauty. Hope he can finally capture a title with Gable gone.

If that’s the case, then why do they call it the NEW CASTLE semi-state?

I would be way willing to help out in anyway possible.
