As far as I can understand, the detroit catholic super duals falls on the same weekend as the CP duals, which is the time of the dual meet versus Crown Point. So Vega is sending his jv to wrestle CP in a DAC dual meet? Crown Point that has one of the best programs in the state of Indiana? And this is supported by the Portage HS admin? I would think Portage would be interested in being a respectful member of the conference, but I guess not. Otherwise, why even be a member of the DAC? Sounds like Vega wants to be an independent and get out from under the shackles of DAC scheduling obligations and the Portage admin is afraid to say no I would be interested in others opinions about this

Can someone please post the nights and meeting times for the Region Wrestling Academy in Calumet HS? I cant figure it out from the website what time the meeting times are for age groups Thanks

One of the most exciting stories in Indiana wrestling this year has to be the Little Giants from Wabash College! Currently ranked 6th in the nation D3, Coach Anderson and Irwin have put together one of the most entertaining groups of young men in D3 college wrestling. The Little Giants feature many Indiana wrestlers, including the 3 Lefever brothers, who are rolling through the competition, and winning with tremendous class and style. They are a joy to watch if you are a fan of wrestling1

Coach, Are you having your RTC tonight on March 11?

Very good report...the Iranian wrestling fans were electric..I have rarely seen anything like the excitement in that stadium ..could it be wrestling that helps normalize relations between Iran and the US? In 1950 China and the US were bitter enemies, at war in Korea, and it was ping pong that helped normalize relations in the 1970s. Perhaps 30 years from now wrestling could be a major factor in reapproachment.

Cnn going to do a report on American wrestlers in Iran...apparently Jordan Burroughs mobbed by Iranian crowd trying to get pictures and autographs...really cool and another reason Olympic decision is foolish

If dad has job offer and they are moving for that reason then with the talent he has makes total sense to find best school with wrestling program and go there. Then NWI losing one of the most talented young athletes in a long time. I wish him well and hope to see him on the Big ten network in the future. He always wrestled with class and tremendous skill.

If this is true it seems to me to be a bit ridiculous..I am not sure what the point is...he is a state champion already and will certainly be in line for big time D1 programs already...Indiana Purdue etc....why would u move? Listen, I don't know about the kids academics and other issues, but this strikes me as athletics and parents out of control..Maybe parents are moving for work or something and they chose to move there...who knows...I guess in wrestling it makes no sense to me....look at someone like leroy vega...legendary local wrestler...Minnesota all american,,,now hall of fame and a great hs coach....what point would it be for a kid like him to move when he was hs to some school in minnesota? how would of that made any difference in the career he had... Plus Mville great program...one of best in state...strikes me as arrogance IS apple valley some private school?

check out the events in the modern pentanthelon its whoever can bribe the system more

If we had it at the Genesis center would Roosevelt by the host team? http://www.nwitimes.com/sports/high-school/girls-basketball/roosevelt-missed-deadline-won-t-be-in-ihsaa-girls-hoops/article_aac36d82-9ad1-5997-b11c-d7ef1bbf28ac.html

apparently in the 70's and 80's they used to bet from the stands on the athletes during the regional track meets...

I am interested in people's observations of the CP regional...here are some of mine... 1. The Katsarfaros-Roadruck match was highly anticipated...great match won by Katsarfaros by pin...Katsarfaros is one of the great competitors I have ever seen in the DAC..starting qb on the football team and champion wrestler at 145...the intensity of this match was something 2. Micic looks so effortless in winning matches...best wrestler in area and classy kid...Hughes brothers from Lowell are right behind... 3. CP wrestlers are very hard to score on...schurgs,,,fuqua...kral..burlison....just so solid all around 4. Valpo had an outstanding day...8 wrestlers move on to SS and 5 in the finals...2nd place finish overall shows Valpo team is becoming a real factor in region wrestling...team depth up and down is getting stronger every year...

How about a list of previous champions going for 2 or 3 peats? 2012 Champs back this year 106-HC Micic-HC 113-Schurg-CP 126-Trevor Burlison-CP 138-Mitch roadruck-lowell 160-Dusty Schurg-cp 182-Morgan Kral-CP 195-Luke Davis-Valpo 2011 Champs Josh Fuqua-103-CP Trevor Burlison-119-CP Dusty Schurg-160-CP ryan Patterson-189-lowell Did I miss anyone? Looks like Burlison and Schurg have chance to be three time champions, that is if I am not confusing them with one of their brothers!!

Just a comment i have about Brassea as i have watched him a bit. He is very talented wrestler from a great LC program. He did seem injured at the Dac(his arm) and faced some very tough competition. If he is healthy he should do real well and make the semi state. No one I have seen has been close to Merrilville's Stevenson, and to be honest if Brassea lost 19-11 and actually took down Stevenson and put him on his back that is pretty impressive. time will tell, when he gets to Stevenson again and sopko in the regional we will see.

CP sectional posted on trackwrestling

hurford looks outstanding..how can you say he is not getting enough recognition when he is ranked #1 in the state?

Any results from any other Duneland matches last night? Valpo chesterton posted..nothing else.

I watched it again as well and basically what he said was "this interview is ridiculous." Certainly not the most egregious thing I have seen a hc do in the heat of the moment, I will grant you that. I took what he was saying is that it was ridiculous that he should even have to answer any questions in this interview. I certainly agree that most hcs in any sport despise giving interviews at this point and hurry off to be with their team. They have a job to do, and they want to do it. We also have all seen reporters ask stupid questions and an incredulous coach do all he can to answer with out slugging a reporter. Saying that...I still think a head coach has a responsibility to carry himself better in dealing with the media and the fans. He must have agreed to answer questions at that point. If he did not want to do it send an assistant coach. MLB and the NHL (if they ever play again) has interviews right during the game or during the inning or period break and they seem overall to handle it ok. I still think part of this issue is the fact is that it is great for wrestling fans that the Big ten network runs Big ten wrestling duals, the midlands, and the NCAA. When can you watch this level of wrestling competition on TV except for the Olympics every 4 years, and then NBC wont run the wrestling matches, because they have to show beach volleyball? Because of this when I see a premier coach like Brands say it is ridiculous that he has to give an interview for the fans, it sort of seems to be counter productive. I mean what the hell, most high school coaches are happy when the local media covers their sport and gives some publicity for their athletes and this great sport. I don't know much about Tom Brands as a coach and a person, so i take KarlHungus at his word that he is a net positive. I have also seen net positives like Bobby Knight, Woody Hayes, and Joe Paterno self destruct because of their own egos and sense that they were untouchable.

Yes, that is how it seemed to me as well. No coach in any sport likes doing these interviews with the media, especially in the middle of a competitive event. Though i think it is ironic that we in this forum bitch when the Big ten network puts idiot students to do play by play for matches when they know nothing about wrestling and take it as an insult to the sport, then when they have seasoned and knowledgeable announcers do matches and ask a question, a big ten coach won't only give them the time of day, but insults them as well.

Did anyone notice Brands at the halftime of the ohio state match totally dis the Big 10 interviewers as to why he should even have to do an interview at all? Jeez, as a wrestling fan I think it is great we can even watch college wrestling on tv, and Brands acts like that? They have interviews on all sports this way...it is called trying to promote the sports to a tv audience...

Hilarious viewing last year with the student u announcers...you should watch the overtime match from last year Penn state's match for a laugh... I think it was the same student this year...the funny thing is that he is actually very well prepared and has a pretty good cadence and voice, but just knows nothing about wrestling...he seems to know it this year and hesitates to comment too much on the actual action.

It might be that chesterton wrestling against mville serves as their dual meet for the year. That is how it works in the duneland. Did penn have their varsity wrestle somewhere else the same day?

Let me get this straight merr beat chestereton Chesterton beat penn Penn jv beat merr weird
