First, I want say that I love reading the stats you all break down.  They are fun and interesting to see.  However, I want to add a stat that I find interesting also.  While Greenfield had no state qualifiers this year, we won Connersville for the first time ever, placed 3rd at team state (we had never been) and won the HHC for the third straight year (first time in school history).  The HHC includes very tough teams such as New Pal (2 qualifiers), New Castle (3), Mt Vernon (3), Delta (4), Yorktown (1) and Pendleton (1).  I'm not sure many teams have had that kind of success with no state qualifiers.  And, while I am very disappointed that we didn't have a state qualifier, I am extremely proud of my team.  They are just that, a team.  No way we do the things we did this year without these kids wrestling for each other.  I am a proud coach!

On Facebook Kevin made it official that this state finals will be his last on the mic. Crazy to think an announcer has made such an impact on this sport, but he has literally become the voice of the sport. Thanks Kevin for being the voice of Indiana wrestling for 40+ years!

Here's how I keep track of my team's score. Sometimes I make one of other teams. 

Because $ coming your corp way for that number that’s how.  Same thing here.  

Are we sure Rochester and Cascade don't have 9 more kids? I want a recount. 

My vote is for The Ultimate Warrior.  Raised in Crawfordsville, Indiana.  Went on to be a 2 time WWF intercontinental champ, and a 1 time WWE champ.   Hard to be 3 world titles !

285 Burgett and Branham
 
NC 220 and 285 is a meat grinder.

HHC might have 1 of the most loaded Conference brackets I can recall ever seeing @145... Seeds/rank as follows with 4 top 15 ranked studs ranging from 6th-15th!! 
 
1. #8 Jack Todd 22-0 of Pendleton who's looked damn good this year coming off a awesome off season and wins over state ranked foes Thrine, Fettig, And Franklin. 
 
 
 
2.#6(138) 24-2  Brevan Thrine Nc
with his only legit loss coming to Todd 7-6.. They are 2-1 lifetime and had a doozy earlier this season.. Brevs other "loss" was a Mat return vs Rushville that was called as a slam, which I won't even get started on.
 
 
 
3. #14 Kolton Rhonemus  24-3 Delta is comes from a bloodline Of Champions with his father being a state qualifier and Kolton being a hammer himself with many notable wins including 7-1 win over Kiner , we should and could see a Match with Him vs my guy Thrine in the semis! 
 
4. #15 Kiner 24-5 of Mt Vernon is battle tested with only losses to State ranked gamers including a win over the 4th Place medalist Dillon Graham of Cathedral. Kiner vs Todd could be  fireworks.
 
To whomever ever wins this this loaded weight, they'll have to Wrestle their tails off! 
 
 
 

106 at HHC is pretty crazy too
bollinger delta
bayliss mv
butt new pal
cline yorktown
mcguire gc

Add 120 at HHC to the stacked brackets.
Mosier Delta 22-0
Broady MV 24-3
Doss New Pal 15-1 (only loss to Broady)
Wolf Pendleton 20-5
 
This is going to be a fun day of wrestling to watch with several teams poised to make a run at the championship!
 

Kissick brothers were studs!

Got to bring Jack Taylor from New Castle into this topic, in combined 2 seasons, spent about 8 months on the mat, capped by a 5th place finish at State his senior year. Just imagine had he started as a freshman when he first moved here from Mississippi. 

Braxton Russell from Delta 
 
Freshman year went 17-12 and was a regional qualifier at 160lbs
 
Sophomore year wrestled first tournament of year…. Found out he had two stress fractures in his back and probably wasn’t going to wrestle the rest of the year… had a remarkable recovery was able to come back in January and made a run during tournament series and became a IHSAA State Qualifier at 170lbs (lost Friday night to guy who got 5th) and finished season 21-6.
 
Now as a junior is 14-1 (loss is to the #3 ranked guy) and is currently ranked #13 at 170

The most well-known case I can think of is 2013 State Champion Deondre Wilson from Warren Central.
 
It was only his 3rd year of the sport when he achieved his undefeated season and championship.  Amazing story!

All,
 
I want to share a story about the kind of people we have in this sport.  Last Saturday Greenfield had a young lady injured in a match at New Palestine High School.  It was a head and neck injury that required her to be transported to the hospital via ambulance.  She and her parents had never been through something like this before and were justifiably shaken.  
 
On Tuesday of this week I was called down to the athletic office.  We had received a package.  It was a box of flowers addressed to the young lady who was injured.  They were sent from the Columbia City Wrestling Program.  I know it's a little thing and some people may not understand, but it touched me and my program.
 
People think wrestling is about working hard, sweating, bleeding, beating on people, etc..., but it's not.  It's above LOVING each other.  I wan't to thank Columbia City for giving my program an example of how people are supposed to love each other.
 
Thank you!

Prayers from G-C.

With a heavy heart I would like to let the wrestling community know that one of the long time region youth coaches passed away. Luis Acuna long time coach at many of the local clubs and most recently RWA passed. Luis had a love for our great sport and volunteered countless hours to our sport. He leave behind 4 sons and his wife . Please keep Luis in your thoughts and prayers. A gofund me page has been setup to help the family in their time of need.
