Every time I think some of the posts about Miracle can't get any more ridiculous, someone comes along and posts something like this. She lost those matches and I bet if you asked her about them she wouldn't use the lame copout you just did. Accusing the ref of being a chauvinist and making sure she didn't win is shameful. That being said, congratulations on the big accomplishment and good luck to her next weekend.
-
So the only reason she lost to Davis was because the ref didn't call a pin and the only reason she lost in the consolation round was because the ref gave Garza an escape. Don't take credit away from these kids. She's tough, but I don't think she's the second coming of Dan Gable like some of you over the top supporters seem to.

NEVER have ticket round wrestlebacks!!!
fwrestler replied to wildcatcountry97's topic in Past Discussions
Despite how exciting you think it is, there is no way you can argue that its fair. Too many of the best wrestlers in a given weight class at each semi-state miss out on qualifying because of bad draws. -
I'm pretty sure you didn't have to look in an ISWA book to remember those results, Kevin L...

That's a pretty ridiculous prediction

Who is the Most Underrated Wrestler in the State?
fwrestler replied to BestSportEver's topic in Past Discussions
You're talking about Luithly from Homestead at 120? -
Does anyone really wonder why we don't have team state?
fwrestler replied to Y2CJ41's topic in Past Discussions
Well for instance, when I was a freshman, a senior who was highly ranked in the state injured his arm pretty badly at team regionals. He competed in the individual regional tournament with a cast on his arm and lost in the first round to one of my teammates, who he would've beaten handily had he been healthy. It was pretty sad to watch. But I agree with you for the most part, as an unforeseen injury can happen at any time and shouldn't keep teams from competing in any format. However, it sounds like New Castle shouldn't be blamed for what happened. I wasn't aware they had so few kids in their starting lineup, and there's no reason to risk wrestling kids who are sick, nicked up or attending to family situations. -

I understand the reasoning of not wanting to risk injuries, and I'm not even a big proponent of the team state tournament (Indiana wrestling survived for 70 years without it) but this is a pretty weak move unless there's some legitimate excuse we don't know about. My team made it to team regionals/semi-state my sophomore and senior year, and we didn't have a shot in hell of making it out either year. But my coach would never have sat out our better wrestlers, and I thought being able to participate was a cool experience. Even if you don't have a chance to win, you still need to put your best team out on the mat. Would you forfeit a regular season dual against one of your conference opponents if you thought you didn't have a chance to win? I doubt it. To me, a move like this doesn't show a lot of pride in your program. -
Guess Bellmont's not having as good a year as I thought they were
-
I hope this was a joke...
-
Well, I guess I was too bold, sounds like it was a good dual. Looks like Bellmont couldn't avoid giving up bonus points at the lower weights, but as usual, their upperweights got them the win.
-
You heard me. Bellmont is always ready to go for the team state, its what they focus on all year. Their studs are always on top of their game and like Boot said, they know how to stall when they need to and hardly ever give up bonus points at weights in which they're outmatched. Even when Yorktown took 2nd at state a couple of years ago and were far and away better than Bellmont, Bellmont still almost won the dual. Bellmont has the upper hand this year and wins by no less than 10. Neither Carroll or Snider will be able to come within 15 or maybe even 20.

Bellmont walks through both matches
-
106: Lee (Garret) Aldrich (Northrop) Cauffman (Carroll) Marquez (Snider) 112: Johnson (South Side) Lovejoy (Bishop Luers) Unger (Carroll) Garret (Bishop Dwenger) 120: Early (Snider) Lockett (Heritage) Wilde (Northrop) Schaffer (New Haven) 126: Meling (Snider) Appel (Homestead) Cardenas (Carroll) Letourneau (Whitko) 132: George (Homestead) Wilson (Snider) Braun (North Side) Sieger (New Haven) 138: Nix (Bishop Dwenger) Moreau (Garrett) Elkins (Snider) Letourneau (Whitko) 145: Zink (Woodlan) Bays (Whitko) Malcolm (Carroll) Johnson (Bishop Luers) 152: Martin (Homestead) Delaney (Bishop Dwenger) Whisler (Snider) Wilson (Carroll) 160: Lefever (Carroll) Steury (Leo) Corey (Snider) Shepherd (Columbia City) 170: Weber (Leo) Jones (Concordia) Linnear (North Side) Nicodemus (Churubusco) 182: Conrad (Heritage) Evans (Bishop Dwenger) Hazelet (Columbia City) Carr (Leo) 195: Raypole (Carroll) Gibson (Garrett) Green (Bishop Luers) Richardson (Churubusco) 220: Wilson (Leo) McCullough (Heritage) Carunchia (Garrett) Ruckman (Eastside) 285: Walker (North Side) Beard (East Side) Reyes (Wayne) Scott-Tanner (Northrop) Carroll Sectional gets 34 out, New Haven Sectional gets 22.

Rewarding him by taking it easy on him and not teching him? I doubt it. The way I remember it, Howe looked up at the clock in the 3rd period, realized he wasn't on pace to get the tech, then really turned it up and almost got it.
-
Any updates?
-
At a tournament my freshman year, one of my assistant coaches yelled at a ref "Stevie Wonder could've made that call!" and got thrown out of the tournament. And that was probably one of his least colorful sayings.
-
Any results?
-
Tsirtsis could definitely win 52 and 60, and maybe even 70, but 82 would probably be too much. Sliga could win 95, 220 and 285 easily. Also, just throwing this out there, I pinned Cody Phillips 4 years ago, so I should probably be on this list somewhere

Rowdiest Dual Meet Crowds (excluding Team State)
fwrestler replied to No One Famous's topic in Past Discussions
Duals like these won't disappear with the elimination of team state. Those crowds don't get rowdy because they're thinking about the team state tournament, they get into it because they care about the rivalries. Those rivalries dont have much to do with the postseason. Duals existed before team state and they'll exist after it. -
In all honesty, if you can put a big guy out there who's really strong and has a good gas tank, he'll go to state 9 times out of 10, regardless of whether he knows anything about wrestling or not.
-
Sure, the styles and techniques employed by upperweights are just lacking in comparison to the light and middleweights.
-
I'd say the styles and techniques of the light and middleweights are a lot more similar than those of the middle and upperweights.
-
So you're saying comparing a lightweight's double leg takedown to an upperweight's double leg takedown is the same as comparing a quarterback's throw to a linebacker's tackle? That doesn't make much sense. And I think the problem is that big guys are stronger and more powerful. They never learn how to actually wrestle because they are able to fall back on their strength or size to muscle guys around the mat with poor technique. How often do you see a big guy halfass a shot and finish it just because he was strong enough to throw his opponent on the ground? That doesn't cut it in the light and middleweights.
-
Weak analogy. Football players play completely different positions on the field. Of course a right guard can't run like Adrian Peterson, because his job is to block while Peterson's is to run the ball. They're not performing remotely the same functions as part of the team. All wrestlers go out on the mat with exactly the same goal, to take their opponent down, turn him, or escape from or reverse him if it comes to that. And they all have the same techniques at their disposal to reach that goal. Like I said before, the basic set of skills that all wrestlers should have, regardless of the "power" of the upperweights or the "quickness" of the lower weights, is the same for everyone. And those skills are seriously lacking in the upperweights compared to the lower and middle weights, on average.
