Did some looking and all I could find was Joe Walker and Jacob LaPlace in 2019.

Not related, but I think we should start with Grandview.. from NAIA to D1. LOL. 

I believe Chip Cochran is taking over Laville

If it's under the spotlight I ain't betting against my guy Slivka. The dude simply gets it done under the spotlight. If it's elsewhere the odds are way different.

Random fantasy match-up I'd been thinking about. Haven't been here in awhile.

...I'm not going to lie, as a Marion County guy, I'd be worried about this dual from just about start to finish. Heavyweight is the only weight I'd feel comfortable funny enough. Cottey has taken down Freeman in real life, but it was always close. Never saw Coach Schaefer wrestle, but from what I've been told, it was nasty, but Zeke is an absolute buzzsaw. Didn't see Kevin Head, but witnessed Deondre Wilson in real time, so I'll give the nod to the champ. Bailey versus Macke or Schaefer I'm sure would be gold considering Bailey's funkiness and supreme top game as compared to the scrappiness I've heard about the others. 132 would be a spectacle. 138, although Boarman is a champ, Brandon James, while not unstoppable, was the closest thing to it when he was on; Cash, a two-time champ with an unpredictable style, and Melloh is tough as nails, but Boarman is still a state champion who gave Jesse Mendez his closest battle in Indiana maybe in his entire career aside from Seltzer. 145, I have to give the nod to LeCount. Dude could adjust to anyone and was supreme in every position. 152, I don't see how EMD loses any of those match-ups, same with 160. 170 goes to the four-time champion. 182 I'll give Rypel, two-time champion and Super 32 champion. 195, I'll give slight edge to Marion County as Moss is a champion and Tonte is a three-time runner-up between two schools. 220 is Critchfield all day. Heavyweight, it's hard to bet against Winfield or Bernard. Lots of toss-up matches, but the ones EMD wins, I'm sure come with bonus because boy can them boys down south rack 'em up. All love to the homies in Vanderburgh County. Nothing but respect for the Wildcat program.

Only difference in that match was some grown man strength vs a kid I’m not sure is 19 yet. Jesse was the better wrestler that match. 

Jesse takes out three time NCAA qualifier Shelton Mack 10-0 in the consolation round. I know Jesse shoots for the stars but 99.9% of high school kids would have been very excited about a win like that.

Congratulations to Sam Goin from Crown Point for signing with Indiana. Projected to wrestle 157, 165.

Join us tomorrow at 6PM. We have had great rooms the last two weeks! 52 kids two weeks ago and 40 last week. Don't miss an opportunity to get better 

I am sure that has happened plenty of times unofficially. 

As most of us on here know Indiana wrestling is on the rise... but this is really cool. Maybe our best year as a state ever?!?!?
 
Naia--- Indiana tech finished 4th in the country with 2 national champs (coached by Indiana natives)
 
D3 --- Wabash is currently tied for 1st!! With guys in the finals
 
D2 --- Uindy currently in 6th with 2 in the finals. Still in the hunt for a team trophy. (Also coached by indiana natives)
 
Really neat to see our In-State teams have such success.
