You guys seem to have left out Ethan Raley.  Not only is he a former State Champ, Runner-Up last year, and the ONLY wrestler from Indiana to ever win the SUPER 32 Belt.  Wright was runner-up last year at the Super 32 as was Tsirtis last year and this year so I highly doubt Raley will not punch his ticket to Conseco again for the 4th time.  Will he be at 130 or 135?   

Congrats Dusty.  Hope you have a great year.

That is a big time sweep to win the BELT..  Thanks for putting the link on there.. It will be interesting to see where they rank Raley nationally since he beat most people's #1 and #3 130 lb'ers..

Congratulations ETHAN RALEY.  What a run to beat 5 State Champions en route to the Super 32 Championship!!! Indiana's first Super 32 Champion. Look forward to seeing you wrestle this year.

Thanks Y2..  So we are down to Raley, Tsirtis, and Roach in the Semifinals and Goldman in the Consolation round. 

Any update on Josh Kieffer or has he not wrestled his consolation match yet?

Impressive.  Raley pinned Soto who is ranked in the top 5 in the Nation by some polls. According to bracket updates, Raley has pinned his last 3 opponents.  Haven't heard on Roach yet.  2 maybe 3 in the Semi's for Indiana is pretty good. Good luck to all left in.

I noticed some significant weight changes this week.  Jason Tsirtis and Devon Jackson both moved to 140.  Ethan Raley moved to 130.  At least 4 of our studs are spread out now and not in the same weight class.  Although we don't have alot of wrestlers competing, we certainly have alot of quality wrestlers competing.  I look for Tsirtis, Raley, and Roach to compete for the title out there.  Bratcher, Kieffer's, Petrov, and Campbell should have good showings as well.  Indiana certainly has a chance to bring home at least 2 or 3 Champions out there.  Any thoughts and any kids that I have left out that have a legitimate shot of placing in the top 8.

I don't know for sure, but think Stevenson will be at 215 and Reese will be at 189 or 171.

tkdwn2 might have the inside story when he said Trey Reese and Knura would be a good match at County.  Either way, if it is Stevenson or Reese; it should be a good match against Knura and I believe they are in the same Sectional, Regional, etc... so that could become a good rivalry.  I would be surprised if either Stevenson or Reese is at 215 but it is hard to ignore when someone "in the know" posts Reese will be at 215.

Who is going 215?  Reese or Stevenson as both are from Indian Creek (I think)?

WOW. That could be the Final Four at Conseco with 3 good wrestlers coming away without the title.  Should be interesting to see how they do at the Super 32.  Good luck to all four.   

Anyone have a list of the Indiana kids going to Virginia Beach next week? I have noticed the following: Kief 112 (Franklin), Boots 171 (EMD), Sims 145 (EMD), Raley 125 (Indian Creek), Goldman 189(Bloomington), Welch 152 (Castle), Gregory 130 (Penn), Pecos, Napules, Stevens ...  Please add any that you know of as I am sure I have missed several..

Rebelmania --  your name says enough, I watched both kids numerous times and while I am not from Roncalli or Indian Creek, I would say your reasoning seems tilted to your wrestler.  Raley has a State Championship and State Runner-Up and I believe Kieffers best is 4th. They are both very talented wrestlers that have a good year ahead of them!!!  Good luck to both but my edge goes to Raley in this match-up!

2 reasons

1. Cathedral

2. Questionable decision, should he have allowed Vlahos to wrestle finals or wrestle at less than 100% against a proven champion
