I know I am not the only one who enjoys this weekend the most in the state series. For some, I know they expect to be here and at next week's slamdango for the precious metals. Yet, I think a lot of wrestlers making it here for perhaps the first or the last times have to be gratified to see their hard work paying off. Every lap, sprint, shark tank, four-hour drive, close loss and quick pin....the growing wrestler has endured so, so much on this uphill journey. Some will reach a career highlight in the second round, while some will not. Others, again, will expect to be here and will move on. Yet, some expectations will be unmet. Oh, how well we know this is an individual sport! By this time, the wrestler has pushed their body and mind to their known limits in hopes of attaining success. Many may not realize that during this pursuit, greatness has already been achieved. Acts of perseverance, willingness, and respect for the sport and those who continue to carve legacies add up. The discipline it takes to properly nourish the mind in the classroom and the body at the dinner table does build the toughness needed to get to this stage as well. Clearly, the spirit of victory can be felt by flesh and blood and the pain of loss can likewise be as deeply known. As exhilarating and stark the extremes may be for the wrestler, the coaches, parents and teammates have played a game or two of Chutes and Ladders themselves. They will continue to venerate your name and deeds no matter the outcome. May you continue to profit both in wrestling and in every facet of life from your priceless sacrifices.

Anyone who has ever wrestled, coached, or been the parent of a wrestler should be getting a little misty when they read these articles. Those that have never been as fortunate as us to be a part of the greatest sport will probably never understand the absolute commitment these young men (and ladies) have made. Thank you for your writing.

Ole Jesse put a beat down on Birwick. Best looking match of da year / deem rats are nails !

Well I'll be infiltrating the IHSAA headquarters on Sunday, I'll look for an answer then.

Very well said, BTG! Semi state weekend is a great one.

I have seen better write up's and better work (by better people..... I kid). I did enjoy the family/sibling section and the shout out to Jmill was real nice. EVSS still triggers me so I will not be in attendance this wknd, but I want to say to all kids wrestling best of luck and bring your best to reach your goals. Dreams can come true for all the hard work you have put in all season. To all the parents in the stands, enjoy the heck out of this day and the experience of your kids on a huge stage experiencing something that most people don't get to experience. These are memories you will have for a lifetime I promise you all that. Lastly @TripleB I guess if I am being honest that write up was slightly above average and a decent read & from Jmill that is about as big of a compliment as one can get (love ya brother and glad your healthy) P.S. Best of luck to all my purple DOGS this wknd !!! (stay alert for those headlocks)

Great words. As the kids say...IYKYK!

Looking forward to watching some excellent wrestling tomorrow! Good luck to everyone that have kids that have made it this far.

HERE WE GO!!! GET'M GENERAL!!!

From someone who hasn't worn a singlet in many decades. I 'm always in awe and absolute wonder at the level these individuals have not only elevated their self, but also the sport. I know many old wrestlers from my day who say things like these young kids don't know what it was like in our day. I say we have no idea what it is like in this day. Wrestling was a winter sport between baseball and football with myself and most of my teamates . The commitment and dedication these young wrestlers put in to make it to this stage of the state tournament, I'll answer a previous thread of ( paraphr ase here no harm intended) " Is semi-state an accomplishment". YES

This article is incredible and brings back lots of memories. I recall being the 4th/5th wrestler from my school to ever make it to semi state, following behind Darwin Collet, Dennis Beckam, and Dewey. My senior year and Mike Mull's freshman year, we had two more knights make it to SS without a coach, only a team chaperone. Now I'm proud to see four representing Northeastern Wayne this year, with an incredible young lady looking to punch her ticket to state. My heart is split this weekend; between my bulldogs down in evansville and the four knights of Northeastern looking to punch their ticket at NC SS. Regardless of the results, may this generation of wrestlers enjoy their journey as I have.

Preach it! I am 41 and (embarrassing to say) going to my 1st Semistate. I am nervous for the kids I'm rooting for, but so excited for them at the same time. I will truly understand the thrill of victory and agony of defeat once I witness the ticket round.

Did you put in a good word about wrestlebacks?

Well written, agree 100%.

Best part of this conversation is, that both Howe and Micic are from Hanover Central!

Crown this guy poet laureate of Indiana Mat

Is that because a southern team has won it the last four years?

Until Joe comments on this I don’t believe it.

Adrenaline does wild things to your memory.

7-4 (3-4 Big10) Michigan and Chattanoog left on the dual season for IU. They are going to finish above .500 but not sure if they get to .500 in Conference. Still an improvement for the Hoosier from prior seasons.

Big major from Graham over Omania. 10-3 good guys.

Porter over foley!! Big swing

Just talked to Faulkens in Evansville and next year wil be the new weights

5 Freshman still unbeaten heading into tomorrow. Also some more at heavier weights with great chances to punch their ticket to state

Everyone knew this kid was good but I don't think anyone was expecting him to be 34-0 and pinning returning state placer Blake Wolf in a just over a minute.

Thrine and Reyes is going to be the match to watch if they both make it to the finals.

I can’t see Aquino making it, he will have to wrestle extremely good if he was gonna make it

Not a lot of surprises I can tell you right now it will be wolf, Aquino, ignalls, and thrine advancing. No particular order.

Congratulations to all of these student athletes! This is a heck of an accomplishment!

Da Region will be rockin tomorrow!

And so is Vanover. I agree that the previous match will have zero bearing on a rematch, but head to head is all we have to go by when making predictions.

Feb 29th 2023 at high noon. We can do it in my garage as the current #1 seed gets choice, also I get to set the weight and I say no allowance and we will need to be scratch at 119 so if you are not able to make that then you will FF. Rules are rules sir

Joe and Mike do a deep dive into New Castle and Fort Wayne Semi-States. View full article

Rello = Leavell

Any process weve used has yielded huge numbers of FW schools at 1A and 2A. It's tough. It's a little like saying, why can't we leave out EMD, who's only 3rd best from their semi-state and give someone like Homestead a shot? The qualifying doesn't bear it out and neither do the season results. FW is a small school hotbed. Small schools wont usually produce state champ level talent, but the depth of very good is at a high level there right now. Do people realize FW SS went 28-28 in its 1st round State Finals matches last year with 24 of those 28 state placers being 1A/2A? The entire rest of the state had 25 QUALIFIERS from 1A/2A and only 11 placers. Someone was saying last year how few 1A teams get through from New Castle to Team State, but NC had an exactly proportional 25% of the participants the previous 5 years and averaged 9th place out of 12. Not all 4A schools/regions are created equally, but the same is true for FW with 1A/2A right now.

Here's how 1a would look if we did the top 3 (with each teams current place after regional) from each semi state to have even involvement. 5 top 12 teams wouldn't even be competing at Team State if we used this method. Fort Wayne: Rochester (1), Cowan (2), North Miami (3) East Chicago: West Central (7), Faith Christian (13), Seeger (21) New Castle: Southmont (8), Rossville (14), Eastern Hancock (17) Evansville: Cascade (5), Tell City (12), Switzerland County (22) And imagine if we did top 2 from each semi state in 3a and 4a. In 4a, the Fort Wayne teams would be Homestead who is in 15th place and Elkhart in 20th currently. It would be nice to see more representation across the state but 1a and 2a has many good teams in the Fort Wayne area. Fort Wayne also hasn't been represented well in 3a and 4a when you look at the history of this event. The only goal of Team State should be to invite the top 12 or top 8 teams to make the best event possible!

Great reason to move 1A back NORTH!!

Just be honest and say you want to play nerdy spreadsheet games with all the data. I got your back.

It’s that time of year again here in Indiana, February Madness, and I’m not talking about basketball. There is a very strong community of diehard wrestlers, fans, and coaches in Indiana for whom late January and early February is a time of excitement, anxiety, and sleepless nights. Those involved know what is at stake this time of year and for many it has been a 13 year journey . I’m going to attempt to give you some insight. In my humble opinion, Indiana’s state wrestling tournament is the toughest in the nation for a wrestler to punch a ticket through to the Indiana high school state because of the number of wrestlers in the state, the single class system for wrestling, and the lack of wrestlebacks. Indiana competes well at the national level and is one of only 5 states that has a single class for their state tournament. Furthermore, Indiana is the only state that doesn’t have wrestlebacks in their State High School Tournament. View full article

That’s next weekend.

FW takes 2-3 State champs this year! Not listing names for the safety of stats/names and everyone knows when you put a stat/name up, it’s compromised!

Mason 4-2 after 1st riding time 0:57

126- Reyes, Thrine, Ingalls and Pugh. (Haven't seen lil Thrine at all so going to stick with the experienced Reyes.).

I think Farmer can beat Jones at 285. He had Jones pinned In The off-season at Mauer Coughlin duals in Vincennes wasn’t called had him on back for at least 15-20 seconds. Both kids are beasts.
