  1. I have several tickets available (approximately 9-10) in suite 69 in the corner of bankers for this weekend. I would be willing to strike a deal. They come with parking passes as well. Message me at 812-746-7288.
  2. Tyler Ferguson was out all year with a compression fracture in his L2 and L3 lumbar. Didnt know if he was going to be able to come back or not. That kid went through alot of rehab to come back. To do as well as he did speaks volumes of his charachter. Injuries to anyone in the post season like Konrath and Stevenson are unfortunate and especially to someone's senior year. I am very proud to call him my son and glad he got to leave high school on a winning note. S. Ferguson
  3. From the Evansville Reitz family to yours, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Quinn and his Dad have always been supportive of us and always a pleasure to be around.
  4. If you read the post it said last night. There was a freshman at 220 last night that also wrestled.
  5. Evansville Reitz's Tyler Ferguson-106 and Damon Kuhn are both 20-0.
  6. As much as I have read concerning the team that may have or not have dropped out of the team regional.. It is still two days away. However, I agree that it is about doing what is right. It was mentioned about how certain teams have sent their reserve teams out there to save the varsity kids for the upcoming weekend or due to matchups..I also understand that if a team has their backs against the wall when competing against good teams to advance. However, for fourteen years, teams were trying to just be the 2nd place team just to get to wrestle on that Wednesday night.. It is a big step for those programs. I know that Floyd Central got 2nd a couple years ago and turned around won the team regional and then when on to the semi-state. Those are always good stories. For now, we do not get those chances anymore because now they only take the top team from an individual tourney. It would be difficult to beat any good team when forfeiting any weights, our middle school teams are proof of that. However, you try to make the ones you have better. As far as Coach Snyder's comments on the weight class 103; I may be off when I say that even I whom back in the day competed when it was 98 do not want to see the weight class shift any further. Some years you dont have as many and others you may have an abundance. At our school, we have and will have some lighter kids that will struggle just because of the weight difference but are very good wrestlers. Heck, I still feel that they need to have a weight class between 215 and 285. I recently saw a post on flowrestling where it was suggested about inserting a weight between the top two weights. Talk about what is best for our sport. In high school why would we take classes away when you are taking opportunities away from them. Those kids will grow sometime and that is the key. In college, most of them are done growing. I am totally for the team tourney but do not agree with the format. I dont have all the answers but it does need changed just not dissolved.
  7. There most likely will be some come out of the Castle Regional on Saturday.
  8. As far as Frigginhurts is concerned: I saw alot of matches that were refereed poorly. It just seemed that it occurred more so during the bouts that Reitz had. As far as Coach Ferguson goes; he could have complained further than he did. Any good coach is going to fight for their wrestlers. They even had two refs in the finals and during the 189 pound match I believe those refs could not make their minds up. I saw Coach Schaeffer from Memorial really upset and I dont blame him. Each team will get a call go there way and the coaches know when it is right or wrong. As each week that passes and some of these kids see one another for the upteenth time, the matches may get closer or they may seperate further. In any event, our SIAC conference should represent well at the state tourney.
