Great post and stance on this matter Coach Faurote!!!

Yes the SA wrestler was in mid-air as the horn sounded and had not been taken down to the mat yet. Life goes on and maybe there will be a re-match next Saturday.

IHSWCA Team, You folks are to be congratulated and applauded for puting together and pulling off the 1st Annual Team State Tournament!!! I would have liked to have seen our Starfires from SA do better today but I am very happy we were invited to participate and I personally am glad I made the 2 hour trek to Westfield today to take these events in right up close.. All wrestling fans and wrestlers across the state need to applaude your efforts as it was a really neat atmosphere and event at Westfield HS that ALL teams of all shapes and sizes should be shooting to participate in. Great job IHSWCA and I hope today is the first of many years of this event!!! Thanks to all!!!

Thank you Nick for for paying the utlimate price to protect your fellow soldiers in Afghanistan and to keep us all safe back here at home.

My favorite singlet under the lights was the Black and Gold SAW singlet that graced the mat "Under the Lights" for the South Adams Starfires for the first time in the schools history on Saturday night. It was neat to see Coach Corey Spark's art work on display with his fierce Sparky Starfire design in Bright gold standing out on Todd Batt's championship singlet!!!

The IHSWCA implemented and put our a 3 Class wrestling ranking this past year for the first time and should be complimented for that for sure!!! This was a HUGE step in the correct direction for Wrestling Team State competions. If you want to have an IHSWCA team competition in the future, I would suggest that these state ranking team classification be used and you invite the top 8 from each class to wrestle in a team tournament within their class as has been done for the current IHSAA Team Championship in the recent past. The tournament can be held at one location or at 3 different locations with a Champion in each class being crowned. I am sure South Adams, Adams Central, or Garrett would love to host the Class A IHSWCA tournament regardless of who is invited to participate.

Who would you put on next years State Program cover?
dullguy replied to AJ's topic in Past Discussions
Anyone who can go up 55 pounds and three weight classes in one calendar year and then pin his way through the State Championship field like Trey Reese did, his picture deserves to be on the cover. Not even to mention his fine scholastic achievements they announced over the PA at Conseco as he was being introduced on Saturday night. -
Congrats to Coach Faurote and the Bellmont Braves!!! Very exciting win last night and nice to see Brooks healthier then last Saturday and to win THE crucial match of the night over Van Horn!!! I look forward to seeing Brooks punch his state ticket on Saturday at the Coliseum!!! And, of course the folks from South Adams continue to support and fight for a classed Team tournament!!! We want to join this excitement too!!!!!!!!

Botts meet Raugh in the championship at 135 and won 3-1, Sprunger wrestled 140 and finished in 3rd place wrestling up a weight class to help the Starfire team chances.

Congrats Coach Peck on your 800th coaching victory!!!!
-
Coach Sparks, Your contributions to SA wrestling and to Indiana wrestling have been HUGE and will never be forgotten!!! Good Luck in your new challenges you are embarking on in the Army and the squad at Ft. Bennings is getting a wonderful LEADER!!! God Bless you for everything you have and will do for our wonderful United States of America!!!

Y2, Great points here as you normally do have up your sleeve!!!!
-
Ehr wrestled 145
-
Mullins scored his one point against Ehr on a referee awarded stalling call.
-
What are the dates for this tournament?
-
Great points here Y2!!!!!!!!!

South Adams went 5-0 in a very convincing fashion beating Jay County, Eastbook, Delta, Union City, and Ft. Wayne Harding to win the innagural Spencer Haworth Memorial Invitational at South Adams. The Starfires are now 12-0 and will travel to the New Castle Super Dual next Saturday to face some very stiff competion down South as we do every year. Spencer Haworth was a SA wrestling captain from several years ago who was killed in an ATV accident this past Memorial Day weekend and the SA Wrestling family decided to change the name of our invite from the South Adams Invitational to the Spencer Haworth Memorial Invitational in his memory and honor.

I would expect Carrol HS (Allen County) would be considered a 3A school based on their overall size. They are a very large school and growing.

Great job here Y2 and our class wrestling pollsters!!!!!!!!!

Fort Wayne Semi-State Rankings Updated 1-27 FINAL
dullguy replied to Y2CJ41's topic in Past Discussions
FYI: Gabe Sprunger beat Elkins (Snider) today at 135 as he went 5-0 at the Homestead Duals for the Starfires from South Adams as they won Homestead Duals Tournament. Todd Batt beat Rushing from Homestead and Flores from Marion along with beating a very quality Snider wrestler at 125. TJ Burnfield went 5-0 on the day today at 145 where he will be this year. Josh Ehr at 152 went 5-0 as did Issac Werst at 171 for the Starfires. -
I personally think it would be a wonderful idea to rank the teams by three (3) or two divisions (2) as I suggested in my revamping of the actual team state tournament format in the other web blog that had some great momentum the past fw weeks. If we can not get the IHSWCA and or IHSAA to compile and administer this team wrestling ranking process in a formal fashion this year, I think the ranking team the Indianamat.com Brotherhood has put together could do something in the interim. Have at it Y2 and Team!! Give us your best shot by region for starters!!!

Brock, The South Adams wrestling family is praying for a quick and speedy recovery for you!!!!!!! God Bless!!!

I agree the IHSAA Wrestling Team State competition should not be eliminated but potentially improved upon. An easy solution would be to have schools placed into two (2) categories at the beginning of the year (Largest 50% and Smallest 50%) and have the Wrestling Sectional determine who would proceed in the team competition based on overall sectional team points as the Sectional crown is chosen today. The Team from the Sectional the finished highest in the Large School category would proceed as would the Small School Category team. This would create more excitement in this area at Sectional as there would be more on the line as Sectional Finals concluded as maybe the teams shooting for the small school advancement might still not be locked in even though the overall champion had been annointed before the finals even started. With the two team state plan, 50% more teams could continue in the team competition, more revenue would be reaped and their would be 50% more fans excited about the Team State Tournament. I would not support a Class system like basketball did as that has ruined their state tournament but this would be a change that would leave the existing program in place but would afford another set of teams to proceed in a State team Tournament format.
