    We had a solid performance as a state there
    Covaciu has another year and was between weights
    Streck had a good run(I think he will expire UWW eligibility)
    Davison still has two more years to compete
    Red still has another year after a good run
    Brayton has two more years
    That doesn't include Nick and Joe Lee who have one and two more years left and were caught between weights.
    We could see some Hoosier flavor on the world team over the next couple years.

    Tristen Tonte for being named Indy Star Marion County Male Athlete of the year and Ben Stewart for being named Indy Star Male City Athlete of the year. Much deserved for both.

    I love how this thread got hijacked and changed into a #TheCounty thread...................you know who else loves this ????
    that's right Joe, he loves all things #TheCounty
    .
    side note, funny how "Gator Roll" shut up after he was clearly called out (BTW, thanks UncleJimmy #TheCountyTMZ north division).  Gator Roll you should be ashamed of yourself for attempting to start something like this at the expense of kids (but I am sure you see nothing wrong with it).
    .
    Whoever Gator Roll is he is like about 85% of the tough guys on here that post things without telling anyone who they really are.

    And yes those cadets are training hard at a secret location in plainfield....shhhhhh

    Please leave the Cottey's out of this. We've known the McClurgs a long time and would prefer not to be mentioned. Wishful thinking I'm sure!

    Come on guys Howie just asked to leave them out of this and I am sure the Fair's and Lowerey's would rather not be mentioned. What ever the offenses were these families shouldn't be being mentioned. Keep it classy San Diego !

    From the parents side. One thing that I think is lost is the amount of money that can be poured into a "career". Most parents want the best that they can get for their child/children. I know that when we had both of our children in a sport (different sports of course. volleyball and wrestling) we spent almost $10,000 on team fees, travel for different events, entry fees and even flight tickets and hotel costs for several team coaches when we had to drive 950 miles as parents to get to a venue. With those types of costs parents do expect higher returns from their kids. One other thing I will say. I have been a hard ass on my kid when he was young, but after those hard ass sessions it was always followed by build up sessions. You can't tear a kid down and not build him back up. As WE both got older the tear down sessions became fewer and farther between, but the build up sessions continued after every match! Many parents forget the second part of the equation, which is an unfortunate cause to kids leaving the sport (not just wrestling). Just my two cents (probably only worth a penny though lol)!

    Yes it will get ugly, that's what happens when you poke the #800lbGorilla.
     
    The only reason I'm waiting is because it's on the event organizer's plate, not the kids or the IHSWCA's.

    Bluemonster, I think you forgot a pretty darn good little guy you know very well at PM.  I look forward to seeing the two you mentioned with Ceu added to that list and of course

    Avon is well coached and the kids are tough as nails. I love the fact that their parents are emotionally attached to the program! That's a definite sign of a successful program. Matt Brewer has given a lot to IN wrestling, not just #THE COUNTY.

    For parents with seniors advancing tonight or falling short of their goals there is one message that needs to be said...and that is "we are proud of you". These kids put their heart and soul into what they do and it's easy as a parent to lose sight of this sometimes. Be a fan and their biggest supporter and that's all we can do. It's a sport. It's a freaking blast and it will eventually come to an end...win or lose. To all that advanced and kept their goals alive all the best and bring home the prize but let's not lose sight of the journey to State. They are all winners.

    Honestly, in the Frankton room he still has some quality partners. The upper half of that lineup is top notch.
     
    I would argue the biggest difference in the move from Yorktown to Frankton is that he now has to go through New Castle (consistently the deepest of the four) instead of Fort Wayne ( consistently the weakest of the four).
     
    You don't get a James Miller caliber ticket round opponent in Fort Wayne without some bad luck. In New Castle, that's a best case scenario.
