Luke Stull @113 is not wrestling this year.

Agreed. I'm a southern fan as well and I was blown away by the amount of elite wrestlers at the Al Smith! Incredibly impressive amount of talent in one building and it not be the state finals.

It's been great reading your rankings for so many years. You did a very good job! I liked the way that you incorporated "scouters" during tournaments in the south that you couldn't attend personally. They too did a good job. You put together a really good system. Your previews have been great and I hope you are able/willing to do another this year.

I think Nick is a good choice for succession! He's crazy about the sport, like yourself, and seems pretty unbiased. He seems to call it as it is and I think he will give a good accounting of the southern talent!

Good luck to you TripB...I know we'll see ya around!

HWT Harley Hillenburg (Bloomington South) over #16 Long (Jeffersonville) by fall

126 Dalton Craig (Jennings County) over Austin Cook (Northview), 2-1. Was a very good match.

I just saw on trackwrestling that folkstyle state Junior 106 had all wins by pin?!

7 wrestlers, 11 combined matches that were wrestled...every match was won by a pin.

Did it really happen this way or is there a mistake on Track?

Has a weight class ever completely pinned out before? Maybe it has with say 2 or 3 entries, but with 7?

Thanks for the vote! It's going to be tough for wrestling to beat basketball in this area but we are hoping...and voting!

Vote for Blake Webb (Bloomington South) for Indianapolis Star's Athlete of the Month.

Was leading the votes but is currently 2nd behind a basketball player. Let's put wrestling on top!

Was the Indy Star's athlete of the week as a Conference Champ and 4.2 GPA.

With regard to the title of this thread, if you are attending this regional tomorrow be sure to go to Bloomington South, that's where regionals are.

Sectionals were at B North.

At 103 McGlothin (BLN) wrestles Riddell(Crawford Co.) in the first round. Both will not qualify.

You need to pick between Jasper's Bird or TH South

Good catch. I messed up that round and also the 2nd...Pinkham and McGlothlin (wish they were separated).

So, new thoughts:

Pinkham

Stephenson

McGlothlin

Meyerholtz

Jourdan/Ramsey match could very well be the match of the day.

I'm still shocked that Jourdan is at 138. He looked lean and mean at 152/160. The weight loss to 138 could/should play into Ramsey's favor.

Don't know how this one plays out, but I'll bet it'll be super exciting.

I really liked the way the North Montgomery tournament was designed.

First day was dual format with all 12 teams separated into 3 pools then wrestling into final placing pools.

Day 2 was converted into individual style tourney with seeding based on the previous day's results combined with other seeding criteria.

Pretty cool hybrid way of doing it. I suppose it's not a new thing but I've never been to one like that. Kept it really interesting over the two days.

Many great matches, ranked and unranked.

Good job to Bloomington South for the win.

Wasn't there for the entire tourney, what are some of the matches that stood out?

Fantastic post!

POST of The YEAR!!

Blmgtn South was 3rd, Blmgtn North 4th.

106 Noah Hunt was unable to wrestle.

Perry had nearly their entire team in the finals.

132 champ was Schermer (BS) (battled two tough matches with Napier and then Vaughn...good matches!)

160 champ was Young (FC)

170 champ was Webb (BS)

182 champ was Dalton (BN)

Perry won the rest. Impressive.

126 Uk vs Hair, 132 Schermer vs Vaughn, and 145 Dull vs Warren were all very exciting finals matches.

145 Warren vs Barlow was a big semi match. Warren in OT.

Chase Webb (Blgtn South) over KY #13 Rojas, and KY #3 Alex McIntosh. Lost to Young (Mad) in the finals.

Schermer over McCoy, and Baehl in the finals.

At 220, Chase Dixon (Blgtn South) over #15 Shepard and #16 Schoonover at Jeff Classic

AJBinder would be my guess on Fern Creeks 132 used to be at St.X.did he hang with Nick at all?

Kinda, for a second...then no. Pinned.

Nick Lee stacked and pinned Schermer/bloomington south in less than :20 seconds

Schermer did not wrestle today. Sick with flu.

Great excerpt. Didn't know the long history between the two.

It's amazing there was only 22 wrestling teams.

Martinsville's Cayden Whitaker over Bloomington Souths Brennan Barlow like 7-3 or something like that.

5-4

A few from Bloomington South that I know of:

Keaton Deckard

Noah Hunt

Sonny Penrose

Lukasz Walendzak

Notes from yesterday!

 

NORTHVIEW:

160:  Chase Webb WHO?  comes into sectionals unseeded and with a 6-7 record.  Knocks off the #2 and #3 seed enroute to a second place finish.  Losing to state ranked Koontz in  the finals 4-12.

Chase Webb was out most of the regular season due to surgery. Late, and rocky start. But he's tough, and is starting to make it count.

Bloomington South is holding strong. 2-0 today. 5-0 on the tourney overall.

Bloomington South is 3-0 on the day. Start tomorrow at 10 am session.

Weak what?

Nothing is weak about State!!

Nothing!
