Just an awesome State Finals and so exciting to see the fight for the Team Title between Cathedral and Avon. That kept the night very exciting!

If the numbers were down a bit at Bankers Life because of technology, then I am sure thousands of people were watching it LIVE all over the country. I know my family was watching from Colorado, Georgia & Florida. So I believe this event will always be the biggest in IHSAA sports!

I really think you are missing the big picture here. What makes this event the BEST HIGH SCHOOL EVENT in the state is everything about it! Think about how many wrestlers each year try to get to state? Over 6,000+ from all over. Then they go through sectionals, regionals and semi-State hoping to be one of the 224 wrestlers to compete for what they probably have been dreaming about all their lives!!!! Then, once they get to state, they hope to survive the that aweful FRIDAY NIGHT DRAW. If they win that match, they are guaranteed a spot on the podium!!! Now we are down to 112 wrestlers Saturday morning. And to make things more exciting, we all hope for those wrestlers that are not highly ranked to make a run at it! Not everyone is going to be a nationally ranked wrestler, which makes the drama even better!!! How boring it would be if every wrestler was nationally ranked. So now we have these 112 wrestlers battling their butts off to get the top prize!!! Nothing is more exciting to watch every year than the finals, under the light, no matter who it is. There’s nothing like it!

Curious how my bets came out? Picking all Cathedral kids had to pay off!!!!

Cathedral in their gold robes!!!!

Warren is rocking it!!!!

So where are the next 7 weights?

Got my picks in!! My Cathedral boys are so expensive but I took them all!!! GO IRISH!!!!

Jordan Slivka lost to Amine from DCC

I just love these boys and their parents!!!! What an awesome family!!! I remember meeting little Isaac a few years back and we just struck up a conversation. I was so impressed watching him wrestle that I knew he was going to be good. Then we met Becky & Joe. Jon and my son have wrestled a few times but we are all friends. We plan to keep a close eye on Isaac. And we wish Jon good luck in his next journey. Donna & John Slivka

Congrats to Roncalli!!! Well deserved!!!

Cathedral 10 with 5 CHAMPS!
