It would be nice to see where everyone who participated ended up on their state finals picks. If it's posted, I must have missed it. :-\

Not being there. :'(

Anyone that ever wrestled, must practice at least once a week to Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider. ;D

Predictions are all fun and good, but they really don't mean much after The Star Spangled Banner. ;D

Burnfield has broken finger(s). Will be out 2-4 weeks yet?

As I was unable to attend, I was listening to the match on the radio. The two people doing the broadcast were former Bellmont coach A.J. Kalver and former Bellmont wrestler and former high school wrestling official Rex Brewer. When the call was made they were both also very confused, as was Jim West, his coaches, the Crawfordsville coaches and their wrestler. I personally think that it was a very bad call. As far as I can tell, from everything I have heard and everything I have read, the official was the only one that saw it that way. Does anyone know what the "extra" official's opinion was? Jim West is a very fine young man (as most wrestlers are), he did not deserve to have his dreams ripped away from him in this way. I hope that the official in question has had second thoughts about this and has trouble sleeping at night. Jimmy deserves his medal. At the very least he deserves an apology.

I have never had the pleasure of making it to the state finals meet. 1. It's almost a 2 hour drive. 2. It is expensive. 3. Being from a very small town makes Indianapolis seem like (and it is) a very large town. 4. I usually have to work. 5. The radio or the internet keeps me pretty well informed. ........maybe next year.
