Thanks for posting this, the team is having a hard time with it. Please keep the team and Coach Smith's family in your thoughts and prayers.

I see a lot more pisspoor technique from the lower weights, and for example does position not count when someone is a 1/4" from midget status? I don't find the lighter weights that entertaining because they always seem to be out of position. Since when is wrestling on your butt or on a hip good technique? That will get you reversed in the heavys and maybe straight to your back (this is just one example). I think we need more data though, so why not start a midget basketball league so we can observe if the phenomenon of the midgets being better at the sport and the technique's involved could actually be measured. Probably could lower the baskets to 6' so the taller ones could dunk. I think this could give us the missing link we need to push this argument forward.

I agree with you twodogs. If a guy earns the varsity spot at a given weight he should wrestle that weight to prove he deserves it. It doesn't teach a kid to overcome obstacles which is one of the great lessons to be learned from wrestling. Whatever happened to leaning your shoulder to the wind, testing your metal, and the best moment in sports called the underdog pulling off the upset. I personally feel like it is worse to "bump" a guy or move him down a class sending the message to the kid that he is not good enough to win then to allow the wrestler to wrestle and loose by his own devices. That being said it is a part of wrestling and I accept it as just another obstacle to overcome.

McCutcheon's record is 3 -3 with wins against Shenandoah, Munster, Lafayette Jeff, and losses to Delphi. Elkhart Memorial, and Portage.

What about Alex Griffin beat Bogle needed to be cleared up? Is Katsafaros the measuring stick for 145?
-
Alex Griffin (#12) beat Ronnie Bogle (#10) at 145 at the Chesterton Duals. I don't have the luxury of being around top ten guys very often, but my guess is they didn't get there by backing up and off the mat as Ronnie Bogle did the entire match.

Alex Griffin from McCutcheon, 145 lb is what he told me his goal is.

Excuses for what? What specifically do you think is crap? What is your everything it takes to win list? Yes I agree that people can take their kids where they want, to give their kid the best possible shot, but we are not writing about whether or not they should for any reason, just what does it take to be a national power.

As a former high school wrestler, youth coach, and parent of two boys invovled in wrestling, I have observed from these three perspectives what I feel is important to build a powerhouse. I believe that administrators at a school first have to have the idea of that they want to spend money and get behind the program. The next thing is a highly motivated coach. One could argue that a motivated coach could get administration on his side with vision and increasing success over time, so maybe administration and the coach go hand in hand. In my opinion, these are the cornerstones to building a powerhouse, but I think most of what MattM replyed comes after these two are in place. I would be naive to think recruiting doesn't happen, but I'm not sure if a coach really needs to much if a successful program is already built, "...if you build it, they will come." I do not want to muddy the waters with the discussion of money, I understand that a coach needs to make a living just like anyone else. That being said, money is a huge part of the building. Camps, club membership, gear, venues, travel, and a motivated coach all cost money. If parents don't or can't spend the money for their child to get the training he or she needs or don't or can't spend the money to travel to large prestigous tourneys that give invaluable experience, the child has a larger hill to overcome at state tourney time for example.

Are you sure that is Nick or his brother Nate that you are talking about?
-
Nick Diaz failed a drug test years ago and I'm sure he would be in the mix for champ, but no from ufc. I always thought dave was retarded after watching him interview with Bas Ruten.

Well the DATA link isn't working for me, probably another part of the conspiracy (I'm gonna say it is Bush) to take over the world!!!

This is the best, after that big ol'post for petition, this is what you gleaned! Makes me laugh, thanks for that. If a wrestler is worried about a couple of pounds this way or that...maybe he or she should evaluate why they are on a wrestling team. Lets do hypothetical, does anyone want to say "I would have been state champion if they hadn't moved the weight class up by three pounds." Three whole pounds? Shut up and wrestle is my advice to anyone, it might turn out to your advantage.

Three from McCutcheon. Sumner has turned his season around, Ford has been definately overlooked, and Griffin is finally healthy and raising some eyebrows. All three could place at Indy.
