That really sucks for a kid to get hurt like that and ruin his season, especially a senior . But it was a smart decision for him to stop and not to ruin his arm for life just to wrestle. if you can catch those kind of injuries early and not continue to abuse it they will ususally heal back to normal.

Fc wrestling mom. I apologize for the comment. I agree he is a good wrestler and that why I picked him to win his class. I am sorry this is your sons senior year I know what you are feeling it is a sad time when that happens. I wish him the best of luck as I do all the kids in the tournament.

my predictions: 106 Kennedy hands down 113 Coureur 120 Lahue by pin 126 Jamison Ward has a slight chance 132 Marler- even if he is hurt 138 Meenach and Troutman could go either Way. Troutman only has 24 matches, probably could not make weight 145 Emily 152 Meldrum 160 Franklin- Heron will spend more time on his back than Emily did the other night against Lampe 170 Bagwell 182 McCutchen 195 Bannet 220 Ottersbach 285 Jolly

meenach beat Spray 19-4 two weeks ago

Lahue beat Jamison 8-5. It was a pretty good match

Stuart wrestled at 138 tonight against Spray of Southwestern tonight and was pinned in the third period. He was down 11-3 when he was pinned.

looks like meenach is 6-0 . all pins except 1 and the only kid that has went the distance is Boonville and he beat him 15-2. Troutman is pretty good but he has to get through meenach to make it to Semi-State. I don't dissagree that he might be top eight but I would think you would throw Meenach in there somewhere

SHaffer from Owen Valley was very impressive against Franklin. Franklin hung with him very well. Meenach weighed in at 136 and bumped up to 145 and was very impressive. nobody had anything for him all day 1 forfeit 3 pins and one decision against Booneville and it was 15-2. I think he will be a factor at 138.

Is Marler that big, I figured he would be 138. I don't see the Meenach kid from New Washington on here either. He should be a 32 or 38. Did he graduate?

I would like to let the wrestlers that have made it to semi-state that you have made a great accomplishment. do not let the comments that we make on this site effect your wrestling Saturday. any one at this level can win. The only person that is gauranteed to beat you is the wrestler you think can beat you. good luck to all of you. The great thing about this sport is a win or a loss is nobodies fault or gain but your own. If Saturday ends your high school season don't let it end your hard work. Take the time to participate in USA wrestling and go to all the tournaments you can. Do the work to get to the level you need to be at next year. I bet 90% of the wrestlers at this level have done some USA wrestling.

Sorry,you ar correct, that was a little harsh. I didn't mean to sound like Pierre wasn't beatable. Everyone in the bracket is beatable and after reading my post it did sound that way. There is no superstars in that bracket. There is a alot of talented wrestlers in that bracket and the competition is close.

I agree those boys have beaten each other several times. I think Jamison is a good wrestler but after looking at the brackets he will be lucky to make it to the second round. If he does he won't make it out of the second. He has the ability to capitalize on other wrestlers mistakes (the quality of a good wrestler) but unless one of those kids makes a mistake I don't see him getting out. he had a pretty easy ride to regional finals, and I don't think he had a chance of winning that if Meenach hadn't gotten high on his ride. He took Jamison down with no problems and was holding him there. Holwager has a very hard first match and I don't see him getting past that. Meenach has the best chance with his draw. Brokal is a good wrestler but if Meenach wrestled like he did Saturday he has a chance to beat him. again it is a toss up, upsets happen every weekend at this level. I wish all the boys there good luck.

Yes you are correct sir! sucks having fat fingers.

I agree. We need to shoe the state there are good quality wrestlers in this part of Indiana also.

I don't see any where on here where someone was talking bad about Bailey. He is a very talented wrestler that carries himself very well. predicting that someone will beat him isn't talking bad about him it is making a guess, and that what all these post are, guesses. I am sorry if you were offended and that wasn't the intention of anyone on this site. Every one makes predictions about all sorts of happenings and that is part of life. Some of these "so called adults" you are talking about are the wrestlers themselves. I hope Bailey wasn't offended by someone thinking that he will get beat because that is always going to happen. He carries himself very well and I am sure it bothers you more than it will ever bother him. Every member of the Lahue family I have talked to at wrestling meets have been very good people . There will always be unsportman like people everywhere you go and I seen some Saturday also but there are more good fans in this sport than bad. That is why this is such a good sport.
