113-Egli's to Win.

120- 3 undefeated wrestlers, who wants to stay that way!  Gilbert / Ross final for me!

126- Lowery top seed Good path. Bottom side tough with EVSS Implications!  Love it

132- Freeman / Coyle finals

138 - Worth Admission !  The 2nd group is loaded , all have winning records!!  WOW 

145- Hayhurst to Win.

152- Balanced with Talent. They will beat up on each other! I see Conway/ Fitts Finals

160- Top $ are Solid Vets. Hanson/ Emerine are solid. I like Baumann vs my Sleeper Bryant - GS underrated!!!!

170- Wide open, who helps themselves in the EVSS picture?

182- Sollars will Defend his House!!!

195- Ritzert - want to see how he does Today and at Team State!  Very Underrated 

220- Boots/Farmer match to get in Finals is what I want to see!!  EVSS implications 

Hwt- Believe this is a TN Finals. What wrestler from the South shows up to answer the Challenge.

   So Good Luck to all the Wrestlers. Be safe and God Bless All.  Bigtoe19

Hello, Wrestling Fans.

   I want to start off by saying the Live FB feed was Awesome. Mike / Joe you guys were Great.  PM Great Host and very good Duals.

I believe the 113 lb class was worth Admission itself. Ton of High caliber wrestlers going at it. Here is MY take away from the Event! (JMO)

   BBurg- Yes missing a few studs! When line up is right they'll be Hard to Beat.  132- Montgomery will be Under the Lights along with the

Big Boys, Street & Jones are STUDS!!  Ciccarelli @ 160 is no easy out either, then 126- Ison underrated!!!  Will all be at Bankers Life

   Center Grove - What is in the Water there, these young Stud just keep showing up and fighting all day. There Little guys are very smart

composed and seasoned already. The Big 3 just keep doing there thing until you are tired!  145-Watson , 152-Rust & 182- Buchanan will

all be challenging for the top spot on that State Podium.

   Columbus East- Very solid Squad, 113-Lykins and 152-Williams showed me something and will move up the Rankings. 160-Law and

170-Morrill had a couple of HUGH Wins on the Day. No easy outs with CE and will Dominate at Jeffersonville, sending 10/11 on to EVSS.

   Crown Point- Well this Team is special. Best the REGION has to offer. Some top Talent in the Midwest. 138-Mendez National Ranked.

Others with that special gas tank, Cruz, Bahl, Goin, Frazier, Roberson, Goodwin, Estrada, Cruz, Tattini, Willems and the Clarks. These guys

are in you face and on you like a spider monkey that is jacked up on Mountain Dew!!  Haha,  Talented Program will have many at Bankers Life.

   Perry- Well, Well. Great Host , nice show! 120- Cottey-Stud , 106-Billerman ,113-Morton,145-McKivits, 160-Sheets, 170-Dale, 195-Hammond

220-McClure are all very tough and you better pack a Lunch when facing them!  182- Warren Talented wrestler. Had a couple of hick ups , in

CE- Morrill who bumped up from170 and CG- Buchanan@182. They will see each other again before this season is over. Don't be surprised if

Buchanan/Warren are under the Lights..

   OK here is the real story PM 138-Koontz is at another Level. Might see Mendez under the Lights again this year!!  But I DON'T Think so!

Koontz wants to relish his own Success. Tired of Runner up, could go 145 and be the Top Dawg but has a very good teammate there. So coach

says Show me what you got !!  Its a real life Vision Quest in an already Crazy year!  Goes out  and gives up 10-12 lb. and Beat not 1, but 2 of 

the States best Wrestlers in the 152 lb. class!  #2 Estrada - CP  and #3 Rust. Not just Decisions , used his textbook Left Hook Headlock and 

got the Pins!!!!  Bonus points for his team, Now that is what I took away from Missing Work to watch those Great Duals.

                     Thanks to all the Wrestlers and Programs,  A True Fan BigToe19.  Have a Blessed Holiday & Stay Safe

That is so TRUE!!!!!    There are 35 ranked wrestlers in the Current State rankings.

There are some weights that will be like a Semi State.  (113) has 5 of the Top 15 in State.

We are going to see the Podium wrestlers emerge at this event.  Good Luck to all the young men!!

      PS: I have a Wrestler that I believe gets some Props from this weekend and Jumps into the Ranking

as a Top wrestler to go to State,  Tyler Williams 152  Columbus East.    Thanks BT19

For the EVSS.  At Bo Henry at Bloomington North, J Purdy was at 170 and made things look easy!!  Another weight change 

by a ranked wrester.  BT19

At Col East Invite ,  #16 Deckard - Edgewood  5-4 dec. over  #11 Meier - Bl South. Great match. They will see each other again!!

#13 Lykins -Col East  MD10-0  #7 Ingalls - Fishers @ Columbus Inv.  (113)

I believe you are all on the right path. It is going to have to be Broke up into segments/portions. I think a lot of people were very pleased

with how the IHOP was ran. That is an approach to think about. 

For instance EHS Coach , instead of big weekend tournaments you have a Quad meet (4 teams) . You utilize the HS Gym , Auxiliary Gym

and the MS Gym. Each location is assigned a Session HS-106-132  ,  MS-138-170  and  Aux- 182-285.

Now 4 teams each line-up has 14 wrestlers = 56 kids each kid gets 2 fans= 112 plus Coach's and staff 100 = 212 / 3 sites. Might be Possible

Or say Bloomington HS work together to Divide up a multi team Tournament. City's or towns with multiple HS within 5 to 10 minute are going

to be the Best and will Host many Tourneys if the Spacing can be Accommodable .   Thanks Bigtoe19

Hey Triple B good work. Here are some Freshmen that were very dominate in MS years.

Preston Haines - Brownsburg

Reese Courtney - Center Grove

Seth Syra - Plainfield

Kaden McConnell - Center Grove

EMD Wins and  Castle, EM,EC battle for 2nd. Good Luck to all the Wrestlers.  BT19

It was canceled by the IHSAA because teams that qualified for regionals or higher chose to hold out several varsity wrestlers that were also in the individual tourney.  The IHSAA didn't like seeing this happen so axed the team series after this happened several times.

So could fans do this to the NBA. Cause that is all they do!!  NBA means less and less these days!  Lets axe it!!  Thanks

Yes I did sleep on a few of my Predictions!!  I was being nice and keeping it close! Sounds like I was pretty accurate

had more MD than TF. Like I said EMD was out to dominate today. Good Luck to PM / END moving forward. BT19 

Here is my Thoughts on the Dual. PM has Home Field Advantage, EMD has bad taste from not getting job 

done at Team State.

106- PM close 1

113- PM dec

120- EMD by MD

126- EMD by MD

132- PM match of night

138- EMD by MD

145- EMD dec

152- EMD pin

160- EMD MD

170- EMD MD

182- PM dec  another good match

195- EMD dec

220- PM pin

Hwt- EMD dec

JMO , looks like EMD 35 / PM 18

This is a subject that will upset or have someone else Butt Hurt. Since 2010 there have been kids moving to better there Future.

The Whole IHSAA system is not perfect. This year I seen Girl move for Volleyball, Basketball & Softball. Watched a the Top Softball

dominate in 3A for 3yrs, when the where beating the 4A schools already. Thing with the IHSAA are broke!

IHSAA just makes money!!  You want things fair , Private school have your OWN Stuff and Public Schools have there's !!!! 

            JMO, Thanks JROB   MAGA
