WrestleMan

HOLD UP!
 
You say population matters...but yet school size doesn't? 
 
We just need to work harder, right?

I would be thrilled if my son grows up and has half the success Ty Mills has had.

We heard this talk about his older brother, and he walked away with one title, this is the type of garbage talk that makes people root against great kids. B. Lee's mom, dad, and coaches never come on here and pound their chests about how great he is, they allow B. Lee to show us on the mat, and the ear to ear smile he always has can't help but make you like him. Please let the kids write their stories. Ok soapbox done.

Hell yes. Look out next year as Jacob punishes people not only for himself, but for the loss of John's senior year!!!!

I'm a little surprised I haven't seen a whole lot of props for Alec White. He battled his way through a nagging cut at Semi-State, and then ran through a pretty outstanding gauntlet at State. Quite a two-week effort. I know state is littered with storylines and tough runs, but he put a good one together (and yes, yes, the big boy match was tremendous entertaining too). 
 
He trains in #TheCounty, so come on. Just saying...

Black was phenomenal tonight. Rumph is obviously a stud and Black destroyed him

Id be willing to bet that an individual state championship means more than that ring.

+1
 
Don't know what #thecounty is...
 
Should be #thebrownsburg

Joe just flat out dominated him. Unreal performance

I'm upset that I haven't seen more from Avon. We were warned by them that it was coming, I'm tired of waiting.

I appreciate the updates, but the 152 final will be very one-sided. Warren has 0% chance to win.

Is almost in the finals still called 3rd?

It seemed like a person or two was concerned with MD only getting 5 thru and how the mighty had fallen. I look at the young talent they already have at the HS and all that MS talent, its hard for me to imagine them being anything but great for many years to come.

Just a quick update. Just got an email from my Semi-state contact asking us to reserve the date for next year on our calendar. Looks like, at least for now, the Semi-state WILL be back in Evansville next year. 

This may be a matter of semantics, but I don't think it matters that much who you have "in your corner" on Friday night.  It DOES matter who you've had in your room ALL SEASON.  The staff for each of these successful coaches and how they use them is equally important too.  So I'd change the question to If you could send your kid to wrestle in any room in the state, where would it be?

Coach Peck,
 
Kids that wrestle for Jr. Wildcats... (MD Middle School Team) They scored 178 of our 432.5 points yesterday. No idea how you officially determine the team champion but thought I'd share.
Thanks for putting on the tourney...love seeing the level of competition and coaching going on at this tournament! Awesome to see the high school coaches there for their programs!
Many academies, schools, clubs, and individuals are making Indiana a tougher state in our sport!

Mater Dei wants to be runners up to Mater Dei year after year?  lol jk

Them and whomever is married to my ex-wife at the time!

Hughes is an absolute animal on top. I personally like the riding time. If you can't score off bottom, can't score a takedown or ride someone out, your don't deserve to win.

I've watched several times. Always come up with 12-11 Black winning. Rumph really impresses me from his feet. Black seemed to be no match for him on his feet. Glad they get at least a couple more shots at one another. Should be very entertaining. I can't see Black slowing Rumph down much from neutral. Hope to see this one in person at Bankers.

Black did seem to spend a lot of time talking with the official. I don't know that I've ever witnessed that much interaction between a wrestler and an official during a match before. Black seemed to be looking for calls/help. I think the official should have shut that down right away. If there is a problem let the coach go to the table.

lost a lot of respect for black after watching..

Odd?
 
You wanna know what's odd?
 
A mom coming on this thread and trying to tout her kid as one of the most dominant big men ever in such a passive aggressive way. Seriously, this is coming from someone with plenty of his own detractors here. And then the most awesome display of gross misconduct by trying to play the victim is your response when called out. I'll put it in easy to understand terms for you: Parris and Gelen top 1% of wrestlers period. There's absolutely no shame in being a top 10% wrestler. I don't see Ellis mom and or dad on here lobbying for Evan do you? See the difference? That's why you are taken to task, it has nothing to do with Gunnar. Your behavior here today is what causes targets to be placed on backs of teams and wrestlers.

I would say Parris has to finish out the next two years in order to be the most dominate ever.
 
In my opinion Radnovich from Gibson Southern had the most dominate year at 215/220.
