Captain Obvious was fairly notorious as well.

PH Arabians vs GC Cougars at Historic Hoosier Gym 11/27/2019

Way cool, Coach. I sure hope I can make it. -
I wasn’t from the Bloomington area, but, yes, I do remember people talking at the time about what an amazing wrestler Randy May was ... almost in revered tones.
-
I think I read an interview with Randy May in which he said he wasn’t the varsity 98 pounder as a freshman because he was a very much underweight for the weight class a freshman.

I know in the 70’s we competed against a couple schools where 9th grade was junior high. But I remember right before sectionals they “called up” some wrestlers from their freshman team. (I remember one of them being Maurice Swain’s uncle or dad.)
-
I don’t think it was an IHSAA rule. Some schools included grades 7-9 as junior high, and some of those schools didn’t allow the ninth graders to “wrestle up” with their high school team. That wasn’t true across the board though.

He’s not just saying stupid stuff. He’s saying inane stuff for the sole purpose of bein a troll.

Is this song/video out on YouTube?
-
What?!!! I thought there were no discussions this year because Y2 conceded the point.

So true. Oh, if it were always that easy.

There were literally thousands of calls throughout the weekend involving Avon and the other teams. Many of them went for Avon and many of them against I’m sure. And many of those that went Avon’s way may too have been thought of as incorrect by Avon’s opponents. And those calls may very well have had just as big of an influence on the final tournament scoring as the one to which you refer. To single out one single call as the one that decided the state championship is just a bit absurd. Hey, I get it. I get frustrated when I see calls that I think are “obviously incorrect”. And sometimes I too speculate what might have been. But there is a reason why we have disinterested (and trained in the rules) parties making calls in the matches, doing their best to make impartial and fair calls. And why us not-so-impartial participants and fans are not allowed to make the calls.

Again, I don’t know the ref or how he calls pins. But to be blunt, if any ref calls a pin in high school without waiting for two full continuous seconds, then he is, quite frankly, breaking the rules he is being paid to enforce. Consistently wrong is still wrong.
-
Thanks, I loved the poem. I greatly appreciate those men in the corners, for all their sacrifices, for all they pour into the sport and into the young men they are influencing. I know I loved my wrestling coach. He probably did not know how great a positive influence he had on my life. And I suspect great men like Coach Cloud and Coach Peck and Coach Tonte and many others like them also may not fully realize how far and deep their influence will go. But there are indeed sacrifices and frustrations, etc., that only those in the profession can completely appreciate. So I’m sure there truely must be a deep feeling of comraderie between them. Thank you all.
-
I don’t know the ref. Do you mean he calls the pin as soon as the scapulae touch or he calls it when he sees the scapulae pinned for two seconds continuously? Consistency is great if he is consistently correct but not so good if he is consistently wrong.
-
No such thing as a touch fall in high school. It’s just that some refs count very very very fast.

Cooper Noehre v Elliott Rodgers - MISSED FALL

Pinned ... for 2 full seconds? -
I was kind of disappointed they showed the replay of the headbutt and even more that the interviewer referenced it in the interview. Sure, the wrestler shouldn’t have head butted his opponent, whether it was intentional or unintentional. But the referee made the call and penalized the kid. So I didn’t think the booing was necessary.

Best Singlets/Compression Shirts & Shorts
piscis1956 replied to casualwrestlingfan's topic in Past Discussions
I thought their design was nice. Personally, though, I wasn’t a big fan of their shorts at Semi-State as I don’t like them that baggy. And it looked like one of their wrestlers either needed a drawstring ... or at least needed for it to be tightened if it was there. -
Maybe one per team per round at TEAM state. But that proportion would make little sense at individual state.
-
They don’t come any better.
-
I *think* the first year headgear was required was for the 1969-1970 season, wasn’t it?
-
You and your Indianamat crew have really put together a remarkable website.
-
It would be interesting if we had an article capturing the history of weight classes over the years as well. I’m guessing that be in the Ancient Elder’s book though ... at least through the years that his years covered.
-
Thank you, Y2! Great article. I did see a few minor errors but which would be a tedious pain to get exactly correct. For example, it indicates constant tournament sites from 1963-1971 and 1971-1975, but I think there was some rotation of sites in some cases. The first sectional I attended in 1968 was at Muncie South (rather than Anderson). And I know there was a rotation of sectional sites between Anderson and Pendleton Heights in the 70’s. But the article at least caught the gist of such and would be difficult to get every site by year correct. i really enjoyed reading the article and it brought back a lot of memories.
