It always interests me to see how the semistates stack up to one another. This might have already been covered, but I didn't see it. Here's my breakdown. Each 1st place finisher gets 8 points, 2nd gets 7 and on down to 8th place (8th place earning a point).
Evansville claims this year's top honor. They had a whopping seven champions, four 2nds, four 3rds, five 5ths, four 6ths, two 7ths and four 8ths  for a total of 173 points.
New Castle comes in second with three champions, five 2nds, six 3rds, four 4ths, two 5ths, three 6ths, five 7ths and three 8ths. They had a total of 145 points.
East Chicago is third with 114 total points. They had four champs, four 2nds, two 3rds, two 4ths, four 5ths, four 6ths, one 7th and two 8ths.
New Haven (Ft. Wayne) finished with 72 points. No champions, one 2nd, two 3rds, three 4ths, 5ths and 6ths, six 7ths and five 8ths.
 

Let's see the pick'ems based on semi-state!
The brains of the state reside in Fort Wayne! Brains over brawn any day of the week!

Just wanted to take a second and say Thank you to all the supporters Brayden has had though the years. We new jumping up in weight this year would be a risk, but Brayden has never been one to back down from a challenge. No complaints or excuses 7th, 1st, 1st and 4th plus being one of the smallest in 126 he did a great job and as his father could not ask for anything more. We will be looking to the future and getting a great education thanks to this sport and who knows maybe an NAIA National title along the way.
Congrats to everyone that won and those that did not keep working hard and you just might find yourself under the lights. To all the Seniors it's been one hell of a journey. Most of you we have wrestled with or against since elementary and though those battles made some great friends or dare i say family. 
Again Thank you Indiana for giving my son a sport with the best fans and competitors.

Guys it’s fine. Again.. he really don’t care. He’s here at Indy nationals coaching the underclassmen and soaking up being a state champ.
With that said... please don’t do it to other kids. It may crush them. But as far as Carson goes he’s been through enough that one mistake or boos weren’t going to ruin a great season. 

I don't know - I really liked the Watts / Cartwright match.

Mendez - holy smokes that kid is good.

Dang.. I didn't think anything of it, except for it probably hurt. Congrats to Brewer on a great season. The Culver kid has a bright future. Very impressed a 14/15 year old kid could hang with Carson Brewer.

There was no tarnish on that win.  Maybe a little ugly with all of the breaks?  Maybe that's the same thing....  
I wasn't a fan of all the boos.  Carson got a well earned State Championship.  Donahue showed heart and battled hard despite adversity.  Kudos to both.

Mendez - holy smokes that kid is good.

I looked it up. Lee had a close match with Kasper McIntosh his junior year, then beat Aiden Warren 16-8 and beat an out of state guy by one his senior year. 

DJ Randnovich may have done it at 215 in mid to late 90's from Gibson Southern

I don't know without looking it up, but BLee was close last year.  I know he went through the entire tournament teching or falling everyone.  
Regardless, Allred is the truth and a ridiculous accomplishment!

Mendez - holy smokes that kid is good.

This stressed me out too much. I'm horrible with a budget.

That picture comes close.....think about the scant space available when I get in there.
