  1. Personally right now I would say   1) Mishawaka- cause they are the defending champs

                                                                      2) Crown Point

                                                                      3) Perry Meridian

                                                                      4)Yorktown

                                                                      5) Roncalli

                                                                      6) Penn

       Thats just my thoughts ( and they dont mean a hole lot)  Im just goin off experience in returning wrestlers and come tournament time.

     

     

    i wouldnt count on mishawaka winning next year, theyve been tough competitors for a long time, but losing 10 varsity wrestlers is a huge loss, one that i think cp and penn will be able to beat considering all of them are in the same semi state individual, hopefully it will be an intersting year, goodluck to all!

  2. placing top 3 i think is wat he expects, but everyones goal is/should be 1st... he keeps gettin stronger and i have no doubt that by the time he finishes his high school career he will have a state champ title

  3. It wouldn't have been an issue if his friend wouldn't have made 12 excuses for it.

     

    Also what other meetings are you referring to?  They did not wrestle this season until the state semi-finals.

     

    excuses and facts are different, he told u the same thing i did, im glad he sees it like

    it is, the thing is we both favor our wrestlers and lean more towards their side

    thats simply all

  4. I would like to see them go to different colleges actually

    you may get mad on the mat at practice, but most of that

    stays on the mat and you are still friends after, but the way

    this turned out i doubt they will be friends anytime soon

    the past is the past and we all have our bad moments, so let

    it all go and dont hold grudges, weve all done things that

    have been disrespectful to someone and not all of them have

    been posted on indianamat..

     

    basically... dont judge either wrestler's entire life over this

    no matter what your opinion is on the situation, life goes on

    and people make mistakes were all human

  5. Then tell me why when he wins he has no problem shaking a coach's hand?  Who cares if a kid's dream is shattered as you want to put it?  Zac's dream was shattered after wrestling McMurray and he still went over and shook the Portage coach's hand.  Character is shown in many different ways in this sport and your true character comes out when things do not go your way. 

     

    Who cares if his dream was shattered? Obviously him, his family, team, friends,

    and fans... i dont know why you have to ask...

    He has shook coaches hands after losing many times.  Its not like everytime he loses

    he refuses to shake hands.  Again you are singling him out like hes the one and only

    to ever do that.  Im sure if he wouldve shook your hand if he knew you were going

    to complain about it this much. 

  6. agreed duck!

    Also he isnt the only wrestler that walked off the mat without shaking the

    other coaches hand... I saw it even in the finals.  So if you are going to complain

    about not shaking hands with him, make sure you talk about every other

    wrestler that has done the same thing instead of singling him out

  7. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit is it?

     

    My wrestler has wrestled Vlahos four times prior to yesterday and after every match he has shook my hand.  Something changed between those four matches and the one yesterday, that being the end result of it not being a victory in his favor. 

     

    Another difference being the state tournament and it being the 1st

    match after he lost his dream... Vlahos didnt refuse to shake your hand

    b/c he has bad sportsmanship, he didnt shake it b/c the state finals meant

    everything to him, and it was gone... HE WAS UPSET, its not always about

    you, sometimes its just the other person

  8. I don't know him personally, nor do I know what it feels like to be a state champion, but I have seen these acts from him after winning matches of "lesser importance."  If you can't judge someone from their actions, what can you judge them by?

     

    dont judge, get to know him, everyones made mistake or done things

    they arnt proud of, dont hold everything theyve ever done wrong

    against them.  He has to live with wat he did and all he can do is learn

    fro, his mistakes... just like tiger woods lol idk why you brought his name up...

  9. I would think you would show more sportsmanship with 10,000 people watching than when 50 are watching, but that is just me. 

     

    idk why you keep talking about optional sportsmanship...

     

    but you are going off track.. we were discussing how upset you were b/c

    he didnt shake your hand.. not how he shows sportsmanship infront of

    10000 instead of 50.  The state tournament meant more to him.  So after

    his loss hes going to be very upset... Like i said before, everyone is flawed

    and dont make the best choices all the time, you are no different

  10. Yes something was different, it was the outcome of the match.

     

    thats not the point i was making, its the difference between the state tournament,

    that has like you said 10000 people, and just another tournament, with 50 people

  11. I saw many other champs, repeat and first timers, who were excited and overwhelmed but did not disrespect their opponent.  Eric Roach is the perfect example, he was so excited that he leapt into the ams of his coach.  Afterward he saught out his opponent and the opposing coaches to shake hands.  He was just as excited to win a championship but showed class and grace.

     

    Im not saying what mcmurray did was right, im just saying dont judge

    him if you dont know him, not that you are... i personally dont know him

    very well, but i dont think any less of him for what he did

  12. Vlahos and I crossed ways a few times this weekend and each time he would say hi or even chit chat a little.  This was all before him and Zac wrestled.  I don't expect him to go out of his way to talk to me, its just that when we have crossed paths he usually says hi or something.  I expected a handshake after the match as he did in the prior four meetings between the two.  I even waited for this after seeing him shake hands with the assistant referee thinking he was going to head to the corner and he never did.  It is very ironic that when he wins, shaking a coaches hand is done without thinking, but when he loses he b-lines it out of the arena. 

     

    To me that tells you a side of a kid that goes way beyond the mat.

     

    Something different between that match and the past ones though... dont you agree?

    No one can please everyone all the time, like i said dont take it personally, people

    dont make the best choices when they are emotional, everyone is flawed, even you y2

    im sure you havent been a saint 100% of the time either

  13. If everyone flaunted every accomplishment the way he did, the world would be a pretty awful place.  As I said before, if he had waited until after the clock read zero and he was not laying on top of his opponent, there would be no problem.  Celebrate, but do not humiliate someone else in the process.

     

    3 time state champ is kinda a big deal though, he didnt cause any problems just some

    arguements and lost a little respect, lighten up

  14. You really don't see the problem with that?

     

    i dont think it was the right thing to do, but theres nothing we could

    do to stop him from it, and hes going to remember his high school years

    his whole life, hes proud of his accomplishments and he was acting without

    thinking in my opinion.  I wish i knew what it felt like to be a 3 time state

    champ, lool i bet its amazing

  15. Well considering he would talk to me before they wrestled this weekend like he has in the past, but after Zac beat him he didn't even come shake my hand it makes me wonder if sportsmanship is optional.  It is very ironic that after the four previous meetings between the two, which were all Vlahos victories, he came and shook my hand, but in this one match in which he lost he failed to do so.  On top of that, I noticed distinctly that he shook the assistant referee's hand. 

     

    so you are upset he didnt talk to you?  He might just be upet b/c everything he worked for

    his whole life was gone.  So give him a little time to cool off, dont take it personally.. maybe

    he will send you a txt message in a day or 2
