After Reitz giving Mater Dei a few fits over the last 5-6 years it appears Mater Dei is on the verge of becoming the best team in the state again this year. I have watched a few of the incoming freshman wrestle over the last 10 years and they are very deserving of the hoopla they are getting on these boards. I know Reitz has 3 or 4 good kids coming back this year but overall they are going to struggle to compete in the SIAC as a team. I think they have just enough fire power to defend their Sectional Title at Castle but this years thunder will follow the Mater Dei squad of kids. I cant wait for this season to start.

Yes they did...and I am not complaining. They also happen to join Reitz in beating Mater Dei. ;D Now that its over I can jump ship next year and root for my nephew who just so happens to be in Mater Deis feeder program. Perfect timing.

I defend Mater Dei and Reitz because I have family from BOTH. They keep score at ALL the tournaments and Reitz beat them at semi state. Its not a comparison. Its a fact. Go back to your Castle High hole and stop pretending your a fan of anything let alone panther.

What weight did he wrestle at JV?

2 Champions - 126 and 145. There are some wild cards in there as well if they catch fire. Wildcards- 2 @106, 2 @113, 2 @120, 1 @132, 1 @160, 1 @220 and 1 @hvw. Wildcards have the potential but not the popularity vote.

I don't think its a coaching problem. Those coaches are doing the best with what they have which is a young team. The calvary is coming that will make Perry Meridian envious especially since they are home grown and not cherry picked!

While I love it here in our hometown I agree with the Ford Center being uneconomical for families.

About Reitz leaving Central because they couldn't beat Mater Dei. It was a huge disrespect to not only Reitz but to the other schools who are part of Castle Sectional. If semi state didn't count then why keep a score? I didn't say anything rude, inappropriate or disrespectful about Mater Dei. I congratulated Reitz. Well deserved congratulations for beating their talented west side counterparts.

After hearing several comments by others about Reitz winning Castle Sectional I obviously am going to interject the fact Reitz beat them this weekend. Thats why they keep score.

I observed Mater Dei taking 12 kids and only punching 2 tickets while Reitz took 6 and punched 3 tickets. I was stunned by the Ferguson match against Smith. Kuhn was a monster. Davis gave Lahue everything Lahue could take and almost broke through at the end. Wimpelberg wrestled with purpose and punched his ticket against a great wrestler. Congrats to Reitz for beating Mater Dei in the Semi State. I think beating them there more that solidified your teams Sectional accomplishment. P.S. Was that really Reitz High Schools Principal that sang the National Anthem? She was pretty darn good!

Donnie Baker was predicting 14 this morning right before the monster truck show!

Mathematically speaking...yes...in the wrestling world...nothing is sure.

I agree. Ferguson, Kuhn and Davis are all Regional Champions too. Smith is a great wrestler but does he have the day in and day out battles that Ferguson has? We will see Saturday.

Agree but with Ferguson winning. Both are great wrestlers.
