    Coach Trapp was/is legit. I wrestled on an Outlaw team with the Rooks bros, Nick South, and a couple other Columbus East kids and he treated us like we’ve wrestled for him our whole life.

    Coach Trap (unsure on spelling) was always around Columbus East program and Outlaws teams. Great guy and could coach all the kids like they were his own. Unsure if he is still helping out, but his time and effort were always appreciated.

    Guerin Catholic use to get all of their Hot Dogs donated by Joe's Butcher Shop in Carmel when I coached there. Not sure if they still do, but they were the best dogs around. The owner's son wrestled for me and was a ticket rounder, great family.

    Not crying. Just telling you the Genius system needs some improvement.

    You’re right. Perhaps if the Genius Rating System didn’t penalize us for a horrific Indy City Tournament we are locked into two years ago, we would have had the invite then. 
    It sure would have validated the 2018 “Team State” tournament to have the IHSAA Champs there, wouldn’t it have?

    I don’t have to. There aren’t 5 other teams that competed against 8 of the Top 10 teams in the state this season.

    If that is the case, that is a major flaw in the Genius System. There are 9 teams I counted in the Indianapolis City Tourney with negative ratings (the majority with double digit negative ratings). A tournament that we are obligated to attend can offset most likely the toughest schedule in the state? No wonder Cathedral didn’t get invited to the IHSWCA State Duals two years ago. If you want a fair representation, there needs to be a different rating system for tournaments. Are all 32 teams in the Al Smith figured in to the rating? Are all 32 Al Smith Teams figured the same as all 16 teams at the Traicoff Duals? How about out of state tourneys? Cathedral went to a pretty tough Mason, OH tourney. Portage and Avon went to a tough Ohio tourney. How were those tourneys figured In?? Trying to figure out a solution to this SoS rating. I don’t feel like CHS is getting a fair shake.

    Indeed a great job, OTR!  Thank you for your efforts.
    As for Majors of Lawrence North, not bad for his first year of high school wrestling.  He just seemed to get better every week until his placing at state.  Not surprising that he was one of the six not in the rankings who placed at state.

    Dear 138 pound weight class at state finals,
     
    Congrats to all of you, lots of fierce competitors, and you should all be proud! Wrestling is the ultimate teacher of life lessons, so learn what you can from your experience!
     
    Kris Rumph
    You are a great wrestler and competitor and your interview showed some great character.  You have overcome a lot in life and I hope you understand that your wrestling achievements can transfer to anything you chose to pursue in life.  The Melloh family will look forward to seeing good things for you in the future, and will say a special prayer for Kris Rumph today at church.  Looking forward to rooting for you, not against you!  
    Blake Mulkey
    You are an awesome wrestler. Blake, you have a great wrestling future,  and we wish you the best.  Sometimes things don’t go your way, it will make you stronger if you let it.
    Dawson Combest
    We wish you the best at Uindy.  It truly seems like yesterday that you and Zach were battling it out for ISWA state finals.  I miss those days already.  Uindy is getting a good one and we know you will do great in wrestling and school.  Count your blessings son, you have an awesome support group with Columbus East wrestling family!  That’s a good group!  I will always hold Coach Trapp in high regard..... I saw how much he did for you guys with the youth program. What a great guy and mentor!
    Lastly, to my son, Zach Melloh
    With tears of pride, I want to tell you that I love you and I am so proud of you.  My sadness only comes from knowing this chapter is over.  I didn’t appreciate the ride like I should have while I was living it.......through wrestling, you have helped us grow as a family and expand our faith.  So few people know what you have been through to get to where you were yesterday. But God does and your family does, and we are proud to call you our son and your siblings are proud of their brother.  Part of trying to live a Christ centered life means that sometimes the target on your back gets bigger.  It’s ok, keep fighting the good fight.  Keep grinding and doing the right things in life.  With a heart full of pride for the young man you have become, looking forward to the next chapter. 
     
    Your biggest fan club,
    Dad, Mom, Corinne, Alex, and Cecelia

    We have nothing but the ultimate amount of respect and appreciation for you and your family.. it does seem just like yesterday that Zach and Daws battled as youngsters, Zach always pushed Dawson to be better and share a special friendship.. Zach is a outstanding young man way past being a outstanding wrestler.. Purdue got the total package in Zach .. We will be cheering and following him and his career...

    Thank you for being such a great kid and bringing out the best in the Columbus East opponents (especially Daws) , after the matches were over , you were back to always joking and being a good kid to be around ...We wish you nothing but the best with your next stop ...
     
    Kris Rumph 
     The semifinals was the first  time that Daws got to wrestle you but of course we had heard so much about your ability and skills , you didn’t disappoint on your showing on that big stage.. Dawson said that was the most fun he ever had in a match , of course I was beyond nervous but you both pushed each to overtime coming up with the win .. Congratulations to you and your family...
     
    This weight class was very deep and talented  .. Every round , it seemed like we had a ranked wrestler with a competitive spirit to the end .. it was truly a life experience and privilege to be in the mix..

    This is a great idea and fundraiser! Sell them with our handles on them and we all walk around Bankers and meet eachother during breaks and after in the local establishments!! "Hey, there's @ClownBaby! " Where's he been by the way? Of course da Rat don't have his handle on his...just his avatar pic!
    I appreciate the offer but I  already have my sweet IM dry fit shirt courtesy of a local ref..it was too small for him. It was a bribe to get AuntJanie to make Oreo dirt pudding for the hospitality room. It worked.
