Cosgrove

Can tell you right now one person got REALLY excited and the other wasnt as excited about this change. Going to be a battle forsure.

We maybe didn't realize it at the time but 2005 had a pretty good one too.

Championship

Reece Humphrey (48-0) Lawrence North (12) def. Andrew Howe (47-1) Hanover Central (9), dec. 5-1.

Was 1-0 and headlock came through. Phew both badass dudes there

One more year

Here's how I see Crown Point (in my opinion - and I know anything can happen)

• 106 Roberson - best case scenario 5th. I don't see him beating Cottey
• 120 Bettich - 2nd round matchup with Boarman. Winnable, but very tough. I'll give him benefit and take him all the way to 2nd place
• 126 Mendez - 1st place very possible
• 145 Burford - I don't see him getting past Graves but if he does then likely 3rd/4th at best
• 152 Hollendonner - difficult Friday night match. I have him at 0
• 195 Potosky - Allred in 2nd round if he gets there. Max of 5th place

So with a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and two 5ths that's 69 team points plus bonus. I don't think that will be enough to get it done but that would be a great weekend for your team

Yeah we wont win this team race this year but... it is coming. The Dogs and The Region will be bringing this back in another year or two.

285, 126 then close is 120 

 

The Notorious 

You think 126? My pick for heavy weight is Cartwright LaVille

My picks:

1. Cathedral - they only bring 5 this year, but they are all high potential scorers. Mosconi (145) and Slivka (160) have relatively good paths to the finals. Seltzer 2nd round match will be a good one but otherwise I think he makes the finals. Rodgers (152) and Walendzak (126) are the keys - especially Rodgers

2. Mater Dei - Matt Lee (145) and Eli Dickens (152) have good paths to the finals although Cooper Noehre could be a roadblock for Dickens. Parkinson (170) could make top 4. Freeman (106) is on the wrong side of the bracket - he should make top 4 but then hits Cottey in semis. Boarman (120) vs Bettich in quarterfinals is winnable - that’s a big one. Any other points would be considered bonus points, with some bad 1st rd matchups

3. Avon - Garcia and Brewer are prohibitive favorites to win it all. I also like the draw for Rioux at 126 in his quarter bracket but further points would be a challenge. Both Conleys have very tough draws in first round. The key for Avon will be the young Garcia (106) and Reynolds (138) they need some additional points at both

4. Brownsburg - Lots of wrestlers, lots of talent - but I don’t see them at the very top end.  However, these guys are battle tested and know how to manage a match to keep it within winning range late in the 3rd. They have a LOT of swing matches listed above - I think they are capable of winning any of them but they will need to win MOST of them to get guys into the 3rd/4th place range instead of the 5th-8th or put out in first round

5. Columbus East - Like Cathedral, not many guys but they are top shelf. Rooks and South are favorites - although South has a tough path. Bolte (220) could make it to the finals if he gets hot. Schoenegge has tons of talent but to reach finals would have to likely go through Sam Fair, Brock Ellis *and* Elliott Rodgers - that’s tough!

6. Portage - Moran and Donnell Washington are both guys I expect to see in the finals, and I think they both will win it. Brock Peele is great but draws Brayden Curtis in the 1st round. Hegedus gets Drake Campbell. 

7. Roncalli - Only 5 guys, but they have some big potential. Could be among top few if they have a great weekend. Brayden Lowery could win it all at 120, but will have the other Brayden in semis. Alec Viduya (132) could also win it all but Garcia is the favorite and Alec will have to get through 2 other monsters to get to him. Freije actually has a great bracket draw - he should breeze to the final 4 and a good shot to get to the finals. Eli Mahan should get top 4 but would have to beat South or Walker to make the finals.  Heavyweight John Harris may be their key

Others - Crown Point, Merrillville, Perry Meridian, Warren.  All these are solid squads, but other than Mendez for Crown Point, I just don’t see enough of their people going for a top place or getting past all of their early round matchups.  They can be the spoilers in many cases for the teams listed higher

I see 5 of our 6 but cant count anyone out on those Friday night matches LOVE Friday night death matches

True on Boarman and Bettich.Boarman is an amazing wrestler as is Bettich. Bettich is long, so can he use his length to his advantage against Boarman? They both have lost to Little. Boarman by a 6-2 and 7-2(SV) to Bettich. Should be a good one. 

Riley is short.... 

I just want to see the brackets

The ticket round alone is responsible for more broken hearts than females are...myself included a few times over... it's the most awesome/ sad 2 hours in HS sports. 

LOVE IT!! I also LOVE Friday night. So awesome to see everyone wrestling balls out! You mess up or concerned about losing weight or the person you are wrestling you lose. So pumped to watch and coach another year of it

I think Mr. Calhoun from Plymouth might put a damper on this as well.

I agree he is a stud as well 

I dont know if I'd put south as a lock either..... Walker had him in over time and by some refs would have given that blast double a 2 point takedown which would have secured that win. 

Al Smith champs take the dual 

Easy how to solve this... have EVERYONE shave their faces and heads coucould even shave their eyebrows LMFAO

Al Smith is as tough as it gets. I’ve seen plenty of people place higher at state than they did at the Al Smith; Hunter Watts didn’t even place his freshman year and ended up 6th at state. Our heavyweight did the exact same that year. 

This year is going to be insanely difficult too.

We FINALLY get our heavyweight back. Too bad al Smith will be his first competition of this season lmfao could be a LOOOOONG two days for him

Al Smith!! More 4 time state champs in Indiana than 4 time champs of al smith

The toughest tournament in Indiana hands down!!! Glad to be back in this

So we can all agree we would want something like this added to our state finals?

We do it at our home meets as well.  I also added some stoppage music that got vetoed by my principal.

Blood Time - Bleeding out Imagine Dragons

Blood Time-Bad Blood - Taylor Swift

Injury Time - No Air - Jordin Sparks

I thought it was comical my AD and Principal didn't feel the same.

That's AWESOME!!!

Cosgrove would play “girls just want to have fun”

Shhh dont tell everyone!! But this is a real good idea. Would put on a better show for the future wrestlers, parents and the fans.

How many times can one listen to Eminem Lose Yourself or Til I Collapse in one night?????

Don't forget the camels....

Pfff I'm sure "barbie girl" "oh baby it's cold outside" would play

I was sitting down talking to a few kids parents and another coach and came to the conclusion that one thing that our state finals could improve on is.. the introductions of each kid coming into the finals. Set it up just as how the ncaa finals go on. Wouldnt that be cool to have introductions songs, smoke machines lazer shows?

Perry is looking real good after beating the 5 seed 61-0

I think mishawaka and Culver can beat Franklin. Not taking anything away from Perry. But these seeds are set to avoid conference match ups first round. 

I still to this day like to do a 24 hour no food. I dont know about the no food for 3 days anymore though
