Goss and DeMarco getting nose to nose at the Al Smith this year!

Ticketmaster is working on the will call issue and I have been told that tickets will be available digitally on your phones and they are trying to fix the will-call issue. Let me add to this: I am just an ops guy here and do not work in the ticket office. I cannot fix your ticket issues as much as I would like to. I am back of house thankfully.

This is showing my age but James Tannehill (sp?) was a big influence and figure in Indiana Wrestling when I competed and first started coaching. Saw him almost every weekend!

Brewer PBJ?

Congratulations to Noah Clouser Congratulations to from Center Grove for signing with Indianapolis. Projected to wrestle 174, 184. View full signing

Cody Johnson and I did a pretty sweet secret handshake before our finals match. Some people liked it, some hated it

I’m calling the Hammer, he’ll hammer out #ticketgate2024 for us all . He told us to call The Hammer ! Complete price gouging !

Anyone remember the "Good ol days" when the biggest issue was people saving seats.

Since Red has been named Ill go with one of the legendary Brownsburg Bulldogs Ricky Clark. Who can’t forget that 3rd place match at the 2017 state finals!

Technical issues being fixed doesn’t help anything with what is wrong with the way IHSAA has handled the way tickets are being sold ever since 2020. Every year since has been a fiasco!

He’s with Ticket Master …. Get Him !

Anthony Lapsley at Snider The Carr brothers at Wawassee The Leavell brothers at Decatur Central Vernon Cannon at Lawrence Central Will Hill at Lawrence North James Brimm at Evansville Central

I'll always mention Jim Ledbetter on Black recognition threads. Wise, caring, thoughtful father-like figure to so many wrestlers, young coaches, and young officials. One of the best coaches and one of the best officials I've ever been around.

In no particular order Coach Red CJ Red Tim Wright Brandon Wright Nick Hull Deondre Wilson Abs Bryant Chico Adams Donte Winfield Dave Pierson and kids DP and Jeivan Gil Journey Spence Spencer Darren Arberry Will Hill Vernon Cannon Mo Gunn and countless others

I just heard that this is solely a Ticketmaster issue. They have their advanced team working on fixing the problem as quickly as possible and hope to have tickets available for purchase within the hour. Ticketmaster hasn't seen this type of response since Taylor Swift ticket sales crashed their site (they didn't actually say that part). I was told that anyone who has purchased tickets that said to pick up at will call should be receiving their tickets digitally as expected.

1. Darren Arberry - Assistant Coach at LC 2. Nick Hull - Teammate at LC 3. Chad Red - Assistant Coach at LC 4. Will Hill - State Champ at LC (I was in 8th grade) 5. Vernon Cannon - State Runner-Up at LC (I was in 8th Grade) 6. Bryan Rand - Teammate at LC (I hated wrestling him, but he made me so much better) 7. James Tanniehill - One of my first freestyle/greco coaches (My dad didn't know those styles so he randomly asked Coach Tanniehill to coach me at the Tech FS/GR tournament. Good choice!)

Reading blank posts.

Coach Arberry....Can't leave him off this list. LC in the 90's. (Cannon and Hill)

State only? Or can we include the 132 finals at Mishawaka this year?

Coach Maurice Swain does a phenomenal job and I think is one of the best coaches in the state. I was fortunate to start my coaching career with him and I learned a lot in that time.

Or he was trying to be funny...and get a rise out of someone...and it worked.

Terry Burton, Andre Scruggs my cousin. My uncles Darryn and Sanford Swanson. Willie Gadson. Chad Red Sr. And CJ Red

As far as wrestlers I’ve coached, Dorian Keys will always be one of my favorite kids I’ve ever coached.

As a brotha, I initially mistook this post for someone airing out their grievances

Coach Andre Scruggs from South Bend Adams and before that South Bend Lasalle

Bellmont Myers - My-ers Davis - Dave-iss Martin - Mar-tin Faurote - Fuh-wrote

What are some of the best face off moments you can recall? Chad Red in the shiny pants? Mine is Spence Spencer Lawrence North with the black gloves. I've been wearing them ever since.

It's 192 pages, so it will entertain you while you drive to Evansville.

TicketMaster is one of the biggest rackets in the history of racketeering. Provide absolutely no service whatsoever and just cost event goers an extra lump of money. Should be a crime, they are nothing but scalpers.

Our latest edition of this annual article will always garner lots of responses from everyone. The simple fact is, we have coaches that have a lot of success of Friday night. Winning on Friday gets the kid to the award stand and they get to take home a nice souvenir. This year's list has the usual suspects at the top in Sean McGinley, Darrick Snyder, Branden Lorek, and the pride of Osceola Jerimiah Maggart. Obviously these guys do not do it alone and are surrounded by great assistants, but the bottom line is when these guys are the leaders good things happen on Friday night. Over the course of Indiana history only two coaches have reached 100 state placers during their career. Sean McGinley heads into the state finals with 97 state placers and he has seven chances to get three to the podium. Not too far behind is Brownsburg's Darrick Snyder who is at 87 and will have a shot to hit 100 next year with a good Friday evening. View full article

The old ihswca website.

Just needing 2 more for Saturday night! Thank you to those have helped us! Wrestling has the best community. Please reach out if you have 2 Saturday evening sessions

What about wrestlebacks?...

He did mention…. **Class Action Lawsuit** along with **Class Wrestling** and immediately dismissal of Ticket Master ripping us off .

#Ticketmaster"............the only company/job (besides a weatherman) that you can screw up and still have a company/job. You might add IHSAA athletic state commissioners to that list after the last few years. It just might be easier to get Taylor Swift tickets than IHSAA State Wrestling tickets

They fall for it every time . if you know me, you know me .

I got 1 more. I never got to see him wrestle as his wrestling career was before my time. But I saw him in the early UFC days and fell in love with combat sports because of him. Kevin The Monster Randleman. Rest in Peace to the legend.

To each their own, brother! Just my two cents after watching both of them this year that Hockaday wins by 5 or 6 points. Thrine is an athletic freak and absolutely has a better shot than probably anyone to dethrone Hockaday, I just don't see it. @TeamGarcia you should bet some bananas on this "Thrine WILL score on Hockaday"....

He still helps at Pike middle school!!! My middle school team duals them tonight. Hopefully I get to see him. I tell my kids all about him when we see him!!!

While i was still coaching at Hammond Gavit we had 2 State qualifiers back-to-back 2018 & 2019 Jamari Washington & Jaymiere Johnson both black wrestlers 2 of the best kids we ever coached, Jamari graduated from Wabash College and Jaymiere is attending Calumet College Of St Joes graduating this year i believe.

I counted 14 for the Northeast 8

I can make sure none of your posts are ever seen if you would like. One person has already been given a little vacation and I am not afraid to give him friends. We need to remember these are teenage kids and they will unfortunately do dumb things and things they will eventually regret. They don't need anonymous people on the internet trashing them, at least it won't happen on this website. If there are disciplinary actions that need to be taken that will be handled by coaches, schools, and the IHSAA, not here on IndianaMat.

The last time a popular website involving Indiana wrestling crashed @Y2CJ41 stepped in! Ticketmaster better watch out!!!

Isn't that awesome.... Of course the all session event glitched out showing several seats still available that aren't, which resulted in people buying random seats all over for session 2 and 3 individually. Also, all session tickets will not allow transferring between people. I'm glad I spent $268.30 on 6 tickets which I can not even distribute and must pick up at will call. Again..... how can the IHSAA mess it up so bad.

Two-time NCAA champ at Michigan, Jarrett Hubbard. He went on to coach at Thornwood High School in South Holland, IL, and got several Harvey Twisters deep into the high school state tourney.

He is going to be unknown by most here but Coach Tillman. The man is the picture of a professional individual that truly cares about his wrestlers, the community, and well everyone. He was never my coach. The complete opposite actually. I have coached against this man many times. It does not matter if you are one of his wrestlers, a local community wrestler, or a wrestler from the other side of the country he would treat you as if you were on his team and he had known you his entire coaching career. He is also a veteran of the United States Marines. I can think of only a few people that I hold in the same regard as this man. I learned from him even as a Coach. His compassion, empathy, and wisdom are second to none. I am blessed to say he is my friend, brother in arms, and a valued member of the community that I love calling home.

When I was a kid, I loved the Cyclones because of Bobby Douglas. That squad he built with Cael and Joe Heskett was one of my favorite to watch. Also a guy who is a little less popular but one of my all time favorites, Teyon Ware.

Why wouldnt underdog wins with wrestle backs be just as exciting?
