Give it a rest Y2

Not.

Just to show the Craziness of Region Schools: 1982 Griffith vs Calumet High School Baseball Game. Calumet player slides into 2nd base cleats chest high. Bench clearing brawl, game Suspended. I believe it was a double forfeit. Baseball is a contact sport in Da Region!
-
None, Dat's it!

Probably the same feeling I get when I drive to Rural Indiana, and I am greeted by the smell of Fresh Road Apples and Hog Farms. Yep, roll those windows down. Don't be dissing Da smell of the Steel Mills!
-
Why go to Chicago when you can tip cows on the weekend out East!
-
Da Region consist of Deez High Schools, and NO OTHERS: Whiting, Hammond Clark, Hammond High, Hammond Gavit, Hammond Morton, Bishop Noll, East Chicago Central, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Calumet, Lake Central (furthest School South), Andrean, Merrillville, Hobart and Lake Station. NO PORTER COUNTY SCHOOLS! And NO Crown Point, Hanover or Lowell....Sorry guys that just Da facts! And Every sport in High knows about Da Region, not just wrestling. Let the wanna be's start, LOL!

Man what a butt whooping by PM on Penn. Where is Swank. Losing 106, 113 Killed them! And absolutely nothing was gained by all the shifting of weight classes. Disappointing semifinal .
-
I said East of I-65, not West. Whatever, do you want to include Valpo, LaPorte and Maybe South Bend too????
-
Anything East of I-65 is not DA REGION, and yes that includes Hobart and Portage.
-
Yeah, well when I drive thru it smells like home. A lot better than Terre Haute. Sorry dude, KV is not part of DA REGION.
-
OK, first I find this a ridiculous post to begin with, but let's get this right PORTER COUNTY is NOT "DA REGION" never will be! At best Porter gets a honorable mention. Also, LOWELL IS NOT DA REGION, so quit trying to be, LOL. Even Crown Point is not considered DA REGION, just REGIONITES. HAMMOND, E. Chicago, Whiting, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Gary, Dyer, Calumet Township, North Schereville and Merrillville. DAT is DA REGION. Come on man!
-
DA REGION! somewhat....lol. Just think if Hobart was still in the DAC, wow!
-
Agree M109R, actually on all points! And Portage is going to be the team to reckon with in the Duneland and State for the next several years, huge school with lots to draw from, good coaching = Success.

Somebody Needs a Hug before they get hit with warning Points. And A gentlemen, never reveals his sources.
-
LOL, Charger Dad! Kingsmen Dad thank you for that Info. Yes, that would have made a huge difference. I too hope this team gets healthy, so we can open the throttle and see what they can really do! The Al Smith should be Fantastic this year! M109R, I expected nothing less than your responses, keep up the good work. Everyone have a great Sunday.
-
Wow, Great Job Portage! -
Yes, I am sure we will hear from our beloved Homer, but with that said, I have put 2 kids thru Penn, one currently in Penn, and I had a son Wrestlle at Penn. I too am pretty close to the program, and know quite a lot about the kids and coaches. And no disrespect was meant, but facts are facts.
-
Well if that is the case, then I am on board with this year's Penn team is over-rated. Sorry, you don't Go into the Harvest Classic as the Favorite and take second, and then get beat by Merrillville in a Dual. Penn is a Very Good team and definitely top 10, and very well coached, but NOT BEST PENN TEAM Ever as everyone keeps saying. No football excuses either, they did not make it to state.
-
This is too funny, being from Da Region! This speaks many truths, and for the Record, Sorry CP, Lowell, St. John, Schereville and Marryville (LOL) NOT DA REGION. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=The%20Region&defid=3902531#.VH0LkUiVuus.facebook

OK, to take all sarcasm aside. I will ask the question. Have there been studies that have proven that adding Class wrestling grows the sport? I am very curious, because we ALL have opinions, and post them. As you know I am not for Class Wrestling. But if there are studies that prove it not only grows the sport, brings in a larger fan base, and revenue then I am more inclined to be opened minded, and others might be as well? There is a difference between Somebody on hear saying that well of course it will just look at the facts that more wrestlers, parents, friends and family would attend the state finals and other events leading up to that. That may be true, but what about the Casual fans with no horses in the race, are many going to be turned off by a watered down version of the State Finals? Serious questions above, no sarcasm intended this time? Would like to see a link with a study down if these is one comparing states before and after adopting class wrestling. Also, does anyone have actual statistics regarding class basketball in our state, because I would think that would be a very relevant comparison.

God I love that song! One of the Best Wrestling songs, Like EVER! I am lunatic, hear me roar! ;D

Thank Joe for Clarifying my inaccurate statement, and with the facts you have presented you have definitely made me a believer. Let's also make sure that we give all wrestlers that come out for the sport a participation ribbon, and we can have the bigger school wrestler with an arm tied behind their backs, and spot them a 6 point lead in the first period. That should about do it, let's make everything such a level playing field that the idea of an underdog, or overachiever does not exist anymore. The perfect UTOPIA.....I like that. 8)

Lets be fair on how you are basing your numbers. I personally when thru the IHSAA School directory. There are 89 Schools that DO NOT EVEN HAS High School Wrestling as a Sport, with enrollments from 40-500 kids, which I would believe qualify as your 1A Schools, so you take those schools out of the mix, when basing this criteria against the bigger schools, then it is a valid discussion. So in essence now you are talking about 12 state qualifiers for 25-30 schools, pretty good numbers don't yah think?

I say absolutely not! Class system ruined Basketball in our state. We had something special for Decades, and now it's a farce. And now Football, really used to be 3 Classes, we not have 6. Whoopdeda, 6A champs we are the champs best out of 32 teams......ugh. My suggestion for wrestling, build better stronger club systems in the surrounding rural areas the best that you possibly can, or if your boy is a special wrestler, and attending a small 1A school with a non-competitive room, then make sure you drive or get him to a top notch club with a better room that is within a parents striking distance. This whole country is going to hell in a hand basket with everything has to be fair and equal. Life is not fair, get used to it, sorry to say. The numbers at this years final posted by Y2 regarding 1A schools is staggering, I agree, but I still do not agree in changing the format for whole state. In closing, if a coach has such a problem with participation at a 1A school, it is up to the coach/AD and his Staff to make it work or sorry to say, drop the sport completely. Everyone of these kids that one a state title this year worked their asses off, above and beyond normal practices, and their parents sacrificed a great deal for them as well. So maybe something needs to change at the smaller school, then classing the greatest HS sport in the Country!!!
