Yorktown wrestling eyeing big season

By JESSE TEMPLE jtemple@muncie.gannett.com November 17, 2009

YORKTOWN -- Like he does every year around this time, Yorktown wrestling coach Trent McCormick recently held a preseason banquet for his team to kick off another year of Tigers wrestling.

McCormick, in his 22nd year as coach, addressed the usual goals and expectations, delivering his message in front of more than 100 wrestlers, siblings and parents in the school cafeteria.

Then, he did something he does not normally do. He showed those in attendance the rings.

Wright adjusts after transferring to Warren

One-time state champ at Cathedral makes move prompted by family finances

By Michael Pointer

Posted: November 17, 2009

Brandon Wright figures to look just as menacing wearing Warren Central's black and gold as he did Cathedral's green and white.

Wright, who has never finished lower than second in three high school wrestling state tournament appearances and won a state title in 2007 at 112 pounds, transferred from Cathedral to Warren Central before this school year.

He finished second at 119 pounds last season and will compete at 125 for the Warriors.

"It's pretty much a finanical situation,'' said his father, Tim Wright, of moving from a private school to a public school. "The economy caught up to us like a lot of people when my wife lost her job.

We have close to 50 schedules uploaded with over 600 dual meets!  Hopefully we will be able to get more in the coming days.

According to Intermat

18 points and in those points are your conference tournament, so basically 16 points plus a conference tournament.

Also, four of those points must be used towards single duals.

Single Dual meet is worth 1 point

Tournaments and Super Duals are worth 2 points

Basically if you wrestle more than once its worth 2 points.  Two-day tournaments are worth 2 points.

I would try emailing Bobby Cox and see if you could get an exception to the weight loss rules and see if he could wrestle later in the season if he gets down to 285.  Its worth a try and not like a 370lb kid losing 90lbs wouldn't be good for him.

Westview's coaches name is Joel Pippenger.

Thanks I knew that sounded weird.  I guess it takes a fellow Noble Countian to recognize it.

I would love to have the yellow, blue and pink Combat Speeds, but I guess they are only sold in Russia.  All of their world team members have a pair.

I have two pairs right now of the black and red ones.  One of the pairs is still in the box and brand spanking new.

Thanks it is updated

I am looking for 3-5 people to help with inputting dual results in our new system.  Basically you will take the results you find in the newspaper, online, or where ever and update the database.  Its pretty simple. you will just find the teams that wrestle and put their scores in and update. 

PM me for more details if you are interested.

Thanks.

If you know who the head coach is please list it.  Thanks!

Whitko wrestlers hoping to join elite

Greg Jones

High school sports editor

Whitko?s five returning semistate qualifiers are, from left, back row: Austin LeTourneau, Drake Brainard and Dylan LeTourneau; and front row: Daniel Rothgeb and Jordan Gilbert.

Whitko wrestling coach Matt Koontz still considers the team as returning six semistate qualifiers.

There are the five ? Austin and Dylan LeTourneau, Jordan Gilbert, Daniel Rothgeb and Drake Brainard.

The sixth, Jarrod Lewis, won?t be on the mat for the Wildcats, but he will be in his teammates? hearts.

This is really an ***NO NO NO***ious effort on your part, but if it goes well, this is going to be a wonderful addition to the site.

A lot of this will fall on coaches, fans and parents getting the schedule to us and/or reporting the scores.  I am working on finding about 3-4 other people to work on this to keep it as up to date as possible.  Right now I have about 2 people total that will work on it(3 people, but two will be part-time).

The first link will be organized alphabetically, the other one will be done by record.

A little hint on the first link, if you click on the dropdown and start typing the name of the school you want it will take you to it.

I am not sure if anyone has been checking it out, but I would like to official unveil the newest addition to this website.  It is a database that keeps track of dual results from across the state.  If possible, the box scores from each dual will also be recorded.  As you know we have asked for information about each school's coaches, website, and schedule and this will be the end product.  Take a look at a couple samples of what we have.  In the coming days you will see more and more and more and MORE matches added.

I hope this is a great tool that people use to gather information about all the teams in the state.  We have already had a great response to the schedule request and if you have not already submitted your schedule, please do so. 

Thanks everyone and ENJOY!

Bedoy isn't eligible until the second semester.  He only has one semester of eligibility left.

Combat speeds all the way. I have a brand new pair in my closet still.
