1st off the NP singlet was a wife beater and jorts. 2nd they were absolutely awesome haha.

Evansville Central had some argyle singlets which would of been cool if their colors weren't brown and gold.

But how are the Hot dogs?

My favorite saying to hear, well the one I chuckle at, during an event is usually whatever the loud mom is yelling from the top of the stands. 
 
From a coaches mouth what I’m usually amused by is when I hear a loud SQUEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZEEE!!!!! being belted out from the corner as they are also making some type of hand jesture while doing a power squat away from their chair. 

Okay I agree it’s like an accident you can’t look away from… They are interesting, couldn’t imagine convincing an AD to buy them lol

So, one of my favorite parts of wrestling season is sampling the different hot dogs the schools present during the year.  For disclosure, my son Chris Bohn and wrestles for Munster, the hot dog testing tour will follow the Munster schedule. I also taste test the dogs plain. Today I was at Goshen High School.  The hot dog was $3.  It was pretty plump, and was definitely not cheap.  The bun has the perfect amount of "freshness", meaning it wasn't hard, but it wasn't soaked.  I will definitely be picking up a couple of more tomorrow.  The Goshen hot dogs get 6 slices of pizza out of 8.  The next stop on the tour is Valparaiso high school on December 2.  Thank you for reading.

Timmy something or other, he qualified for regionals then was semi-state alternate, kid from central got injured and Timmy got to wrestle and punched his ticket to state.

The coliseum is a nice venue.....

That explains why they don't show the 7th place match.

I’m just saying, y’all are getting triggered without even knowing what’s going on. All we know is there are two sessions, which they may be experimenting with so the first round doesn’t go til 11 pm. There’s been no mention of restrictions, just reserved seating, which we’ve been building to with the annual stampedes that happen. 

Apparently some new 9 point pin we've never seen before. It must be awesome.

I think all the vote in teams should have a small tournament to see who gets in. I would watch it

Oh my goodness, could we cry some more..... Holy smokes...... 
 
I do the EVANSVILLE Semi-State rankings, not the jasper Semi-State rankings
 
1 - Lack of hotels in Jasper vs Eville
2 - They only allowed fans after @tskin and I opened up the flood gates with our attacks
3 - Gerst Haus is better than any German establishment in Jasper
4 - Franklin Ave
5 - Wrestling is a secondary experience for the casual fan or the parents.... Evansville is popping..... Jasper is.......Jasper
 
This place.....semi state?!?!?! 
 
Or this place 

 
Brewer hide those mints better, Coop wipe up your tears, We going to the CRESCENT CITY, EVANSVILLE BBBBABBBBBYYYYYYY
 
 

Veazy
Everyone else
 
Am I doing this right @GenHeavyHandz?

Poll

Ruhlman beat Bates handily in the semis this year I don't see last years Bates beating this year's Ruhlman.. Just my opinion.

Well in other news, today is Tuesday not Wednesday

want to know everyone's thoughts on how many advance from each sectional.
I have 41 Evansville central and 15 castle.
Also a 100 bananas MD and Gibson have more advance then all of castle sectional.

The Evansville Central Sectional—long considered as one of the toughest in the State—seems to be a bit down in 2021.  That being said, do not forget it is populated by the 4A team champions, Mater Dei, and soon-to-be-perennial powerhouse, North Posey.
 
Following one of the weirdest years in Grandmother’s history, wrestling follows suit.  Consider that North Posey declined to complete for a PAC championship, while Mater Dei won the SIAC title—with 13 JV wrestlers.  At any rate, the Central sectional still promises much excitement, fireworks…and some upsets.
 
Mater Dei has not lost a sectional title since Jimmy Carter was in the White House.  Google it for the date.
 
Can Mater Dei shake off three weeks of rust and win the team title?  Does a deep North Posey team have the horsepower to take the title?  Is there an upstart?  Well…let us take a look!
 
106- The little guys promise a high stakes finale in state-ranked Blake Zirkelbach of North Posey and MD’s Evan Seng.  Both are high-flying, wide-open wrestlers.  Adding to the intrigue is that Zirkelbach’s father, Gabe, is a former State Champ from MD.  Who do you like?  It likely depends upon the color of your jersey.  How about the 11-1 Gabrielle Polen from Gibson Southern, not receiving a seed.  Are you kidding?  Look for Reitz’s Caleb Reed to meet Zirkelbach in the semi-final.
 
113- MD Junior Reed Egli sports a state ranking, 14-2 record and plenty of big match experience.  Princeton’s Jared Dunn is a solid 18-2 and will attempt to top Egli on the medals stand.
 
120- Centrals Aydan Amento is solid and has put together an impressive, 23-3 season.  Unfortunately, MD’s Cole Ross is on the other side of the bracket.  Ross is in the hunt for a state title and his fourth sectional title.
 
126- First year starter, senior Jacob Pierre, received the nod for the top seed.  Rival alert!  Look for Pierre to meet Reitz’s Zach Traylor in the final.
 
132-  Mater Dei senior Alec Freeman brings a perfect record and top-state ranking to the party.  Freeman is going for his third sectional title.  North Kris Sutton and North Posey’s Camden Lupfer compete for the second-highest podium spot.
 
138- Blake Boarman is fresh off his fourth SIAC title and looks to notch a fourth sectional title on Saturday.  North’s Peyton Bell completed a brilliant freshman campaign and looks to square off with Boarman in the finals.
 
145- This should be a good one!  Mt. Vernon coach Nick Alcorn successfully lobbied the number one seed for his 21-3 Chris Newman.  At the southern end of the bracket lurks Mater Dei’s wildcard, Ashton Hayhurst.  Wildcat fans (Mt. Vernon, not Mater Dei) do not look past North’s Matt Lehman!  You will see him in the semifinal.
 
152- Mater Dei senior Scott Fitts earned the top seed.  Centrals’ Luke Robards and Gibson Southern’s Christian Polen battle in the southern half of the bracket for the right to wrestle Fitts in the final.
 
160- Mater Dei’s Brody Baumann sports a perfect, 16-0 record and has yet to be tested this season.  He is the prohibitive favorite and will face the winner of Central’s Ian Madden and Gibson Southern’s Owen Bryant.
 
170- North Posey captures its second top seed in the form of senior Clay Will.  Will has been stellar and only has one blemish on his record.  Will has no cakewalk to the final; in the semis, he will face North’s Cale Johnson.  The bottom half of the bracket is equally tough!  Mt. Vernon’s Brady Hook should face Mater Dei’s Blake Weidner for the right to vie for the top spot.  This is a deep and balanced weight class.
 
182- Like his teammate, Mater Dei’s Gabe Sollars has yet to be touched in 20/21.  Central is the first stop on his quest for a state title.  In his way, will be the winner of Mt. Vernon’s Dalton Schmidt and North’s Mitchell Happe.
 
195- North Posey junior Wyatt Willman brings a spotless, 22-0 record to First Avenue.  In one of the few intriguing quarterfinal matches, MD’s 9-0 Clay Martin faces North’s TJ Hankins for the right to face Willman in the semis.  Do either have enough mustard for Willman?  The bottom of the bracket is no less interesting as Reitz’s Reid Brickey will face Mt. Vernon’s Blake Ritzert.  Hook prediction- There will be at least one upset in this bracket.
 
220- Who, in this sectional, has 24 wins?  Answer:  Reitz’s Logan Huggins.  The senior is on a tear and secured the top seed.  Looking to avenge an earlier loss is Mater Dei’s Nick Boots.  Expect for 70 years of Reitz/Mater Dei hostilities to continue in the final.
 
285- Mater Dei’s big boy, James Ralph, gets the top slot.  He will face a worthy challenger in the final in the form of          Gibson Southern’s Alex Breivogel or North’s Gage Sales. 
 
All nine of the schools have competitive grapplers with opportunities to advance.  Regardless of your affiliation, Central sectional wrestling fans have cause for excitement.
 
Vincennes Lincoln, Princeton, North and Central will battle to finish in the top half of the team race.  Expect for North Posey and Mt. Vernon to pile up points and compete for the runner-up slot. 
 
Whether you are a “Lover” or “Hater”, the outcome will be the same:  Late Saturday afternoon, the crew from 1300 Harmony Way will raise the championship trophy for the 45th consecutive time.  The Wildcats’ are too strong and too deep for the string to be broken in 2021.
 
Hook’s Picks:
Do not miss these semifinal matches:  113- Bulkley vs. Dunn, 132- Sutton vs. Lupfer.  152- Robards vs. Polen.  160- Madden vs. Bryant, 170- Weidner vs. Hook.  195- Ritzert vs. Brickey.  285- Breivogel vs. Sales
Best finals matches:  106- Zirkelbach vs. Seng. 145- Hayhurst vs. Newman.  170- Weidner/Hook vs. Will. 
 
Hookemendations:
*Get up early and have breakfast at the Pie Pan. After your omelet, (Hookticia prefers pancakes) have a piece of pumpkin or pecan pie...you don’t have to make weight! 
*If home takes you north or east, ask any Central or Mater Dei fan for directions to the Hornville Tavern.  They have a family room and a smoked pork chop that is to D-I-E for. 
At the corner of 41 and I-64, you will find Stoll’s County Inn.  This is the best buffet you will find and has an Amish influence.  Tell ‘em Yoder sent you!
If you like sushi or hibachi, Fujiyama offers the best value for Japanese cuisine in the city. It is Mrs. Hook's favorite place to eat. Banzai! 
*Founded in 1854, Evansville Central It is the oldest high school in continuous operation west of the Allegheny Mountains. Revel in the history! 

I got the information from Track Wrestling.  Of course, my eyes completely missed those events I mentioned were last year (Jan 2020)
