Fewest people I have seen at a State Finals. Makes sense when you move it  to the farthest south west point in the state. IHSAA is actively trying kill off wrestling.                                       Only good thing is the wrestling. 

Maybe we should just stop the tournament and move it to Indy on Monday.

Young Caprino...I thought it was Young Dicaprio? Just Joe on set giving Leo direction/acting advice!

Wouldn't be the first time someone thought I was Leonardo.

Maybe try here

We go over the weights 190, 106, 120, 285, 113, and 215. Another great state preview.

This Valentine’s Day Max Amberger has a lesson for all the fellas out there. Nice guys don’t always finish last.

Amberger, whom coach Matt Linkel says is one of the nicest kids he knows, is getting the royal treatment in Batesville this week. On Saturday he became the first Bulldog wrestler to advance to the state tournament since 2003.

I know I know.  Im going to regret this.  One of my bold predictions is Cathedral goes 3/7 on Friday night.  Bringing Cathedrals Friday Night % down to a “measly” 74.6%.

Under 75% and McGinley might be on the hot seat!

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.

Ticketmaster has a stranglehold on venues, their fees are not set by event promoters. They do what they want unfortunately. 

Organizations such as the IHSAA are beholden to the venue, but should be able to get around it.

The IHSAA just wants you there early to listen to the High School Wrestling Weekly with Dane and Rex while you wait.

Great work!  I think I can read through this twice on the way to Evansville!

Maybe I should make an audio version.

Updated with a lot of significant matches that were missing

This might be the single most important article to help you in the pick'ems... or more likely confuse you more! We have amassed as many of the losses as possible for all the 224 state qualifiers. This year's qualifiers have 978 losses with 623 or 63.7% to other state qualifiers. With some of the teams traveling out of state we also have 162 losses to out of state wrestlers. We have 11 wrestlers enter the fray on Friday with an unblemished record that will be pushed to the limit. 

As always if you can help with the missing data it is greatly appreciated.

Random Stats

Joseph Hamilton and Griffin Van Tichelt- 9

Dillon Graham, Zach Huckaby, Silas Frye, and Trey Dunning- 8

Please BE CAREFUL critiquing inappropriate gestures… my post was dismantled for reporting the NEWS

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.

Mike and Joe are joined by the honorary mayor of Evansville Dustin Bentz to go over the semi-states and preview 8 weight classes. They hit the randomizer and talk about 157, 132, 175, 165, 144, 138, 126, and 150.
