IU89

3 FF's so out of 11 wrestlers
7 sectional champions with 10 going to Regionals
3 Regional Champions with 8 going to Semi State
2,2,3,3 Semi state finishes with 4 going to state
If it wasn't for a terrible draw, you could add Coy Hammack to the state finals list.
 
Ranked 4th going into the 1A tournament and came out of it Class 1A Champions. 21-4 record with losses to Heritage Hills, Col East, and Mater Dei. 
 
They finished 4th in Semi State. Lets not forget they got 4th out of the most brutal and toughest semi state in Indiana!
 
I know other schools get recognition but my goodness, Tell City is a powerhouse this year! 
 
All four of their state finals wrestlers are the lower ranking and may not win but Im impressed by TC.

There are 6 auto bids from strict point awards. Then 2 wildcards are based on voting next year. The 6 automatic bids are 100% teams' scoring. That's what I'm referring to.
 
You'd likely have an automatic bid without your forfeits, but youre likely going to be just outside looking in for the automatic bids because of missing free points that are killing you.
 
It's strictly points, not politics, for the automatic bids. You can see public leaderboards with clearly published point values for each advancement level. 

Better watch again. There is absolutely no way that was a reversal.

Evansville ticket rd didn’t disappoint, great round!!
 
I need some Xanax and I’m just a bystander!!

I thought they ultimately got it right, if you're referring to Vanover - Mills.  Defintely not smooth, with reversing the call.  

Call it what you want.  But it was a close match at the very least.  It was 3-2 at the end of the 1st, 4-4 at the end of the 2nd.  Kelby let him up to start the 3rd, so he was down 5-4 in the 3rd.  Then a TD and escape made it 6-6.  A takedown with 4 seconds left for the win.  

Seeming in control of a match doesn't mean it's not close.  Maybe back and forth was the wrong words, but I stand by it.  

I've been wondering all morning whey they don't have someone with a towel to tap the referee as time runs out.  I've seen several matches where they wrestled for 2-3 seconds after time ran out, a couple times even where someone at the table had to yell out "Time"

Kelby Glenn (Tell City) with a nice 8-6 win over Parker Reynolds (Brownsburg).  Great match that was back and forth the whole time.  Glenn wins it with 2 takedowns in the 3rd period, the last with less than 5 seconds left!

Seng wasn't having of it, taking a 10-1 win to the semifinals.

Also, Tell City's Chase Stephens eliminated Liam Krueger of Columbus East 3-1

Safe bet.
 

My money is on May

Snider so far 5 for 5 with Veazy left.

Also from the Purdue Wrestling Twitter "The Boilermakers have wrestled the most freshman in dual action of anyone in the conference. Youngest team in the B1G."

Disco not sure how you can’t consider Indiana a mid tier team in this conference at this point whether they lose to MSU or not. They have 3 big ten wins and defeated Rutgers who has been considered a mid tier program. I would venture to say this is the toughest the big ten has been top to bottom in a long time if ever. The bottom teams in the Big Ten  can beat 80 percent of teams in other conferences. Given where IU has been in the past decade I’m enjoying this ride and I’m hoping Purdue can turn things around! MSU is a bad match up for IU in my opinion. 

Don't get me wrong - wrestling for an Olympic team is unbelievable - BUT, BUT, if you're comparing best vs. best ....I don't know, taking the easy route to making the team ....seems like it would be a black-eye when making the argument
 

Listen: I'm an ex-wrestler who already did their thing.  I'm not hurt.  I'm definitely not your"Broski"(My Brothers are Nakomi and Ricky). I'm just pointing out your glaring omission.  Says you are from Wabash so i get your Regional bias.  I didn't say Levitz is joke: reading is fundamental: I said he has a good a shot as any;meaning Smith.  If I were you I'd quit saying Levi's name.  Everyone loses if you wrestle long enough.  Only a scrub believes what happened in one match with one opponent has any bearing on the other.  But what do I know? 38 years at this I think I've seen enough to make a proper assertion that Our Guys ain't gonna lay down for anyone. 

There are 12 different formulas that can be used for the way the brackets are done. Remember 1's and 4's and 2's and 3's from the same regional are on the same half.

The IHSAA doesn't care about rankings

He was glued!  Good call

RBY is like a lion who plays with its food.  Many matches appear closer than they are.  This match wasn't close.  Like most of RBY's matches.  Mendez is having a great frosh campaign, but beating RBY at this point would be a major upset.  There's a reason RBY is a multi-time National Champ.

For Horning/Elpers, defensive pin. For those MD fans that remember Chris Wildeman v Richie Diggs state finals match, it was not the famous “Richie Diggs” move. Great win for Elpers. 
 
Wouldn’t call it much of an upset for Williams/Vanover, they have had close matches most of the time. See you next week, Mr Vanover! 
 
#BringBackTheTights

Kid was totally pinned.  Ref blrw whistle and smacked mat.  The kid on bottom rotated a shoulder up as he blew whistle.  Total screw up.  I feel for the NV kid.  Took the match away from him.  Had the TC kid on his back with 1 minute left.  Match restarted with a tie score.  TC kid won in over time
