Willie confirmed Veazy to Ponderosa on his show today. Awesome, there goes Fort Wayne semi state's best. Between him and Christian Carroll last year, I have to assume our nationally ranked studs are terrified of the meatgrinder that is the Fort Wayne semi state. That's why the rest of the studs cower in the other semi states.

Jennings County Sectional 87/84 place winners return 7 sectional champs return 15 sectional runners up return Team Race Columbus North has 10 place winners back with 2 champs and 3 runners up look to be the paper favorites. Franklin Community comes in to the Jennings County Sectional with some experience with tough sectionals. 9 returning place winners look to navigate their new route state. Columbus East only has 8 returning place winners but to count out the Olympians completely is lunacy. Coach Cooper has been building a deep program that can withstand the loss of a senior class that was both talented and hardworking.

Jeffersonville Sectional 63/84 place winners return 5 sectional champs return 10 sectional runners up return Team Race Jeffersonville returns 8 sectional place winners including 2 champs and 2 runners up. Their overall program depth will help them keep their place at the top. Corydon, North Harrison and Salem each return 9 while Charlestown returns 8. The Pirates are my pick as the top challenger.

@kkiane @The Genius big thanks for u17&20 updates. Haven’t been able to watch much wrestling atm but been following the results from you here.

Southridge Sectional *counting Hunter May as a known transfer 63/85* place winners return 9* sectional champs return 8 sectional runners up return Team Race Floyd Central and their 12 returning sectional place winners ,including 3 state qualifiers, look to be the favorites.

first clinician has confirmed, and he comes with a clinic gift of a book! 10x NCAA Team Champion Coach - Jim Miller! More info to come in next post

No offense taken. I graduated from there so I'll always fiercely support and defend them: facts are facts; we aren't on the level of a CP, CG, nor The Burg. Don't currently have the culture or infrastructure. Coaching turnover has cost us. I can't blame a kid for wanting more.

Yup, I was just joking and fully understand. It’s honestly amazing how good Veazy got working out of Snider. No offense to Snider, but that caliber kid needs similar caliber to push and make better. Ponderosa is a great move because they have the number one ranked 170 pounder.

I love how we now refer to a high schooler going to another school as a pick up. How many more years before we have a high school portal?

I know it’s only u20 but he wrestled amazing. Added some lovely high crotches and knee taps to his game too, looks like he learned from his experience of trying to go upper body against some of these big guys like Munkhtur.

61kg: Khorramdel easily techs Georgia and wins Bronze. A great talent. He is still 19 and I would like to see him return to U20 Worlds next year, returning Bronze medalists tend to do very well. He only lost 9-10 to Russia and dominated everyone else. Hopefully he stops growing and can be our guy at 61kg to replace Atri. (15 pts) 74kg: Aghaei got teched 16-5 vs USA (much wider than his 7-9 loss last year) and wins Silver. Mesenbrink shot for the single leg about 20 times and was getting it every time in the first 90 seconds. Aghaei didn't shoot for a single TD until 2.5 mins in. Mesenbrink just too active and Aghaei too slow and couldn't adapt. (20 pts) 92kg: Azimi defeated a giant Kazakh 5-4 and wins Gold. Very good tournament. This guy is in contention for a place on the senior team at 92kg already. (25 pts) 125kg: Masoumi easily wins Gold, of course. A phenom. I would like to see him become 3x U20 World Champ, has that ever been done before? (25 pts) Iran wins the U20 World Championships FS Team Title! 4 Golds, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze. 1. Iran (165 points) 2. USA (152 points)

Iran win team title. According to Wikipedia Masoumi is still only 18, and his height is 199cm.

FWIW, I was checking some football rosters across the state the other day. I checked out Snider's roster and Veazy is on the roster as a RB....listed as 8'0" and 320 lbs https://www.maxpreps.com/in/fort-wayne/fort-wayne-snider-panthers/football/roster/

57kg: Ahmad Javan is out (0 pts) 65kg: Shakeri defeats Mendez (USA) 5-2 and wins Gold (25 pts) 70kg: Rezaei loses to Shapiro (USA) 11-6 (horrible, 4-0 up then gassed fast) and wins Silver (20 pts) 79kg: Safi gets teched by Tcokaev (AZE) in the Bronze match and is out (10 pts) 97kg: Babaloo defeats UKR 5-0 and wins Gold (25 pts) 80 points for Day 1 wrestlers. USA leads with 95 points. 61kg: Khorramdel lost the SF to Russia 10-9 and will wrestle for Bronze (10/15 pts) 74kg: Aghaei won his SF vs Russia 9-0 and will wrestle USA for Gold (20/25 pts) 86kg: Alizadeh is out (0-4 pts) 92kg: Azimi won his SF and will wrestle for Gold (20/25 pts) 125kg: Masoumi techs UKR in the SF and will wrestle Russia for Gold (20/25 pts) 70-94 points for Day 2 wrestlers. Iran's total will be 80+(70-94) = 150-174 points Likely range for USA day 2 is 50-70 pts + 95 = 145-165 points total. Will be very close... I think if Khorramdel wins Bronze and Azimi and Masoumi win Gold, we will mathematically win the team title.

Nah.... keeps Evansville SS secure as tops in the land. I heard he's moving b/c he didn't wanna drive to Evansville for State this year, can you confirm those rumors?? Maybe CP could have stopped for Ft Wayne and grabbed him in their chartered Jet they are getting for state!

Coach Tsirtsis and the Mt. Carmel Caravan are getting another great wrestler from the region! I saw on social Media that Evan will compete in Illinois. He will do great things for those guys and with CP continuing to wrestle Mt. Carmel it will be great to see Evan wrestle some tough Indiana guys! Good luck Stanley Family hopefully 4x illinois champ!
