    Ha - I like your style. I won't be sitting near them though. I can't supervise them. I'm sure this is a strong selling point for the one with a girlfriend.

    When I coach baseball I always tell my guys some great wisdom that has been passed down to me by a coach much better than I'll ever be. He said that the three things that can ruin a baseball career are whiskey, women and a curveball - in no particular order. I feel this also applies to wrestling. Well, my sons are at the age now where one of them wants to bring his girlfriend along to state Saturday. Is this even ethical? I've got one kid that wants to watch wrestling, and pick up some good habits. The other kid wants to spend the day with his girlfriend under the disguise of watching wrestling. Should I write one of them out of the will? Do I do the unthinkable and allow the girlfriend to invade in our state watching tradition? Real dilemma here.

    I'm no math expert - but this must be wrong. According to this there are only 11 classes the county can win.

    They actually got me all fixed up in a matter of seconds. Hopefully that didn't deter them from this weekend. I've always had good luck communicating with the ISWA. I know some have differing opinions, but I do appreciate the work they put in.

    I'm fine with the background check. I'm having a little trouble figuring out the USA wrestling membership portion. I've had my copper card for several years and it appears I have to somehow tie my membership to that info from that copper card. It's proving a little more difficult than I thought it would be. It's not finding my name in the system, and I have changed emails a few times over the last 10 years, when I first got my card. I only use this for a few tourneys when other coaches can't coach my sons in the offseason. It's not really worth the hassle to be matside with them, just to hold their things. They know more than I do anyway.

    I saw Parris obliterate his opponents Saturday. He's just on an entirely different level, it seems. Probably one of the most impressive wrestlers I've ever seen. But, having said that - I'm also very impressed with Maddox. I'd love to see that matchup because both are great offensive wrestlers.

    Good question. 160 and 170 are very interesting to me. I wouldn't mind seeing either of those end it all. Also, 120 should be pretty entertaining.

    I'm OK with blind draw in every leg of the tourney.

    I always hate hearing things like this. Pugsley wrestled a great match, and almost pulled off the upset. Yes, White was bleeding - but to say that is the reason he had an overtime match is something that can't be proven. It may have been a factor, and it may not have been. You can't discredit a kid who nearly pulled off the upset though by using hypotheticals that can't be proven.

    One of the coolest moments for me, from a fan's perspective - was in the ticket round between Ryan Surguy of Shenandoah and Riley White. I don't know if maybe I saw it wrong, or if track wrestling is wrong. But I was certain that White reversed Surguy with seven seconds to go in the ticket round to take the lead 5-4 - and then Surguy turned right around and reversed him at the buzzer to win 6-5. Track has the score 6-3 though. So maybe I just imagined all of the above.

    At New Castle I'd give this title to Mason Parris. He made very good wrestlers look completely outclassed. He did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. Takedown, cut - takedown pin. It was that easy for him. He's just on another level. My second place vote would have to go to Shenandoah's Josh Gee. Gee didn't win the final match, but for an unranked kid that's never been to state to knock out the No. 3 and the No. 4 ranked guys in his weight class, in order - was impressive. This was my first time seeing Alec Viduya as well. That kid is a beast.

    Are the other weights listed in part 2 or something? Great job with this part - just wanting to read more.

    Well - I photoshopped (badly) a picture of Dingo at last night's hangout - but it's not posting. He must have one heck of a security team.
  15. grappleapple
    Thanks. So you can't just take a photo from your desktop, correct? It has to be something from the web?
  16. grappleapple
    How do we attach a picture to a post?

    You may be referring to Levi Rose, a former New Castle wrestler who did MMA and died in an automobile accident - at least the part about the MMA fighting.

    I'm liking this, just to help your upvote numbers.

    I saw the unfortunate news that Sammy Fair will have surgery on Friday. Not sure on what, but that stinks for any kid with high goals.

    Silas Allred over Ruberg. Good match but then Ruberg may possibly be injured or sick afterward - think he was taken to hospital. I pray he's ok.
  22. grappleapple
    I was thinking the same. There is a wrestler I know that probably can't compete due to an injury. If he can't compete - I'd assume 5th place from the same sectional would then have the opportunity? And, if so, how would that change seeding?
  23. grappleapple
    Good catch. I corrected.

    My predictions for championship matches are: 106 Black (S) vs. Lee (FC) 113 Owens (NC) vs. Jaya (Rush) 120 Ragle (NC) vs. Boggs (SD) 126 Pugsley (S) vs. Negangard (EC) 132 Schaefer (SD) vs. Lohrey (S) 138 Surguy (S) vs. Humbert (FC) 145 Buck (NC) vs. Lane (EC) 152 Negangard (EC) vs. Coffman (UC) 160 Bane ® vs. Gee (S) 170 Allred (S) vs. Ruberg (L) 182 Rolfes (L) vs. Clark (K) 195 Walker (S) vs. Haagar (NE) 220 Parris (L) vs. Clouse (NC) Hvy Wisner (K) vs. Minges (EC) No disrespect meant toward anyone. This is just my opinion and I see the individuals in the Shenandoah sectional more than I see the other guys - so it is probably slightly biased as well. But, according to my guesses - I have Shenandoah with 7 in the finals, Lawrenceburg with 3, New Castle with 4, Franklin County with 2, East Central with 4, Richmond 1, South Dearborn 2, Union County 1, Rushville 1, Knightstown with 2 and Northeastern with 1.
