Thank You for recognizing that I caught so grief for it, but I don't know how you don't get excited in that match.

Calling it the Mild Bill these days. Between teams going elsewhere and certain teams not what they once were...

Berry,
 
Your pretty spot on along my thoughts as well. Although, I have a few differences not many. Tisch is the kid, if you doubt it just watch the size of the ears grow during the match. I think he does a repeat of last Saturday. He is scrappy, and will go that way if someone thinks they can. If my son and Leech mix it up again, I hope someone brings the towel cart from the locker room, because every time they went at it in the RTC, some mopping of the boys and mats had to happen.

Hmmmm after reviewing and listening about the Al Smith, I have to go with the turntable 175 class. You have a good mix of kids that I have been around and watch grow up over the last 10 years (and a few movebacks) alongside my older kids. I honestly think of about 12 kids could take it, but will depend on who wants it most in the end. Disclaimer: I do have skin in the game in this class

Can’t speak for the magazine or state rankings, but the first set of Ft. Wayne rankings and a write-up will be out later in the week.
 
Which means feel free to send me any weight info you have so I can try to be as accurate as possible!

Thanks, though's result was slightly different than on track. Their top kid did not show up, so Logan faced the #2 in their lineup Logan Swaw from Lockport. He lost the Illinois AAA State Championship match to Stiles at 160. He is a commit for the Illini, so still good result for a UIndy commit. The final score I believe was 11-9, as there was some definite trackwrestling malfunctions going on with this meet. Indiana Gold and the girls were dominate for sure on the day though. A lot of matches going on, so I lost track of the Blue team. You know your going to have a good day when the announcer is a fun Wildkat having the mic in Chi-Town.

Just makes Cael and what he accomplished with his record in college even more of a superman.

896 walk in at four locations and only 224 walk on to Gainbridge. This is out of how many high school wrestlers do we have this year, or any given year?

This is a topic I have discussed with our coach exhaustively over the years. There really is no right or wrong answer, just what works best based on the personal goals of the wrestler. The only definitive answer that we have come up with is that there has to be more of a desire and true teamwork between wrestler, coaches, and family in the smaller school setting. My son had goals of going to state when he was in 5th/6th grade. We worked as a team to get him to the right training, learning the Olympic styles that lead to multiple trips with Team Indiana, and working with other coaches. There were always other coaches willing to help a kid that wanted to learn and wrestle like Jake O’Neil and Quinn Harris. We have worked out quite a bit when time allowed at the Warrior RTC. If you want a look at who was in that room, there are around 9 boys in the number 1-3 positions in a lot of the weight classes in the current Fort Wayne Semi State ranking. Many will be going to Gainbridge in a little while, hungry for better results than last year. Those kids traveled to GFC and to Super 32 together as well, constantly getting better for this season.  It definitely helps when you have some college kids around to help and wrestle, helping cement those goals that there is wrestling life beyond high school. When they went on a hiatus, we went to a different wrestling room in Indy. The biggest difference versus the bigger school is we had to do a lot more traveling. Sometimes our coaches went, a lot of times we had help from the others. The greatest thing about the wrestling world versus other sports I have been with, is that if the kid has the desire, there are people who will give of their time to help along the way. However, like everything else in life it has to start with the wrestler and their support team. The main question is how do you get the wrestler to not only have the right goal, but the willingness to do what it takes to achieve that goal. Yes, it is much easier to find opportunities in the bigger cities, but in the end isn’t wrestling the instrument to teach we get what we put into it?

@Y2CJ41 Thinking maybe you need to give the kid his own corner of the site. Something like Nisley's Knowledge?
