Coach Brobst

Exactly how it's still done. Has it's advantages and disadvantages

It appears this is an 8 way this year with Vincennes and Princeton dropping out. Pool A: Memorial Terre Haute South Edgewood Tell City Pool B: Center Grove Mooresville Castle Heritage Hills Then 2 crossover matches afterwards

That is correct. If they were seeded, then they cannot change weights. If they were unseeded, however, changes can be made. Ok. I should have mentioned I also have the records sent before the seeding, so it's been a couple weeks. Surely he's not the only one who I mentioned as unbeaten but lost one since then.

Just an oversight. Of course he'll be right in the thick of things. Like I said many changes were submitted but I was not privy to that info, so it is possible, though he was listed at 126 originally. You probably know better than I though. At either weight he'll be right in the midst of the competition.

There will be great match ups at all the weights for sure (some more than others) What I will say is that the brackets the coaches have now are being changed due to a large number of changes coming in at the last minute Not even I have seen the overhauled bracket nor will I until tomorrow morning after weigh ins. That being said here's a rundown of the previously listed wrestlers, some may not compete or may be at a different weight than posted: 106 has Mills from BBurg, Walendsach (spelling?) from cathedral, Stephenson from Terre Haute South, Casebolt from Castle, Curtis from Yorktown, And Denny from Monrovia. Logan Reams from Plainfield is pretty solid as well. Should be some battles in the lightest weight. 113: Hilighted by Stephenson (Yorktown) and Weaver (BBurg), but a solid middle pack includes Edgewood's Zane Sullivan, Westfield's Reid Hutson, Seymour's Isaiah Pichardo, Gosney from Bloomington North, Antunez from Jennings Co., Overton of Greenwood, Spencer Cox from Mooresville (17-4 currently with losses to Alec White, Mosconi, Weaver, and Mejia (Elkhart Mem)) along with Paterniti who pinned Weaver at County last week. 120: Hunt, Mulkey, Blaigh Rushing( Homestead), Dalton Craig (JC), and Keaton Fisher (Martinsville) all have good chances. Penegar from Seymour, Wymer from Mooresville and Capps from Monrovia have to be thinking podium as well. 126: State placer Bailey headlines this class with a matchup with Homestead's Jack Franklin in the semis, with Isaac Gomez and Carson Willis (Castle) lurking on the opposite side of the bracket. Other placement contenders will be Austin Cook (Northview), David Bryant (Ham Heights), Kreitzer (BBurg), Percival (BLN), and Shuffitt from Seymour. 132: Cathedral's Melloh and Homestead stud Drake Rhodes headline this loaded weight with Alex Barr of Yorktown, undefeated Jacob Schrader of GWood, BBurg's Bigelow, Tri's unbeaten Wes Craft, Edgewood's Levi Swinney, Zach Steele of Westfield, Braedon Clopton of Castle, Loy of Ham Heights, Hendrick's Co. Champ Tyler Summers of Plainfield, Dave Shuffitt of Seymour, Michael Craig (Mville), and the return of Kadin Poe from DC will all have shots at placing. All in all, 19 of the 23 wrestlers have solid winning records which should make for a very exciting two days. 138: Undefeated Evan Eldred of Westfield (won at 132 last year) is the frontrunner. Challenging him for the title will be (in no particular order) Keenan McDaniel of Evansville Central, State Qualifier Cael McCoy of Northview, Cathedral's Joe Devine, BBurg's Connor Allen, Yorktown's Rutter,Brooks Warten (JC), Hunter Haynes ( HH) and Austin Ramsey of Castle. 145: Bulldog Brayton Lee seems to be the guy to beat but multiple grapplers will have a shot at placing including Guerin Catholic's Dawson McMahon, Mooresville Senior Jake Hawkins, Homestead's Brady Wyro, Jennings County's Zane Beineke, Alara Boyd of Yorktown, Reichenbacker of Seymour, Riley White (HH), and Stephen Gibson of Northview. This one is going to be a crap shoot throughout the bracket (with one likely exception). 152: Yorktown's Cael McCormick will have a plethora of challengers including State Placer Andrew Herrin from Jennings Co., undefeated Trezdon O'Neal of HH, and Semi State Qualifier Jaylen Adkins of Decatur Central. Others trying to land on the podium include Troy Owen (BBurg), JT Lazzarra (Guerin), Ethan Stock (Monrovia), Connor Dean (Martinsville), and Zach Newton (Seymour). Very competitive weight here too. 160: Cayden Whitaker (2014 Champ@152 and state placer) will be challenged by Yorktown's Brad Laughlin, JC's Cole Chandler, and Castle's Jacob Farmer. Podium chasers will include Arkee Glover (BBurg), Mike Leonard (Guerin), Eli Stock (Monrovia), Braden Thomas (Seymour), John Inman of Bloomington North, and Andrew Sanders of Mooresville. This could be the best overall competition throughout the tourney. 170: This weight doesn't boast the big names of the past two, but these are no slouches with State placer Nate Walton leading the pack that includes Castle's Evan Dowell and Martinsville's Ethan Runyon. Others looking to place are Westfield's Liam Jagow, Guerin's Alex Iler, Plainfield's Danny Reams, and Northview's Hendrich. Could be lots of unknowns come up in this weight as well. 182: Another deep weight with a heavy favorite (Rypel). Challengers should includeEvansville Central's undefeated Austin Hall, Castle's Carson Mohler ((also unbeaten), JC's Peyton Shepherd, BLN's Hunter Dalton, Brownsburg's CJ Damler, and Seymour's John Newton along with Homestead's Wyatt Clem. Several others have nice records as well. 195: What this weight lacks in star power, it will make up for in excitement and unpredictability. State qualifier Garrison Lee looks to make his season debut and Westfield boasts an undefeated Nick Schaeffer along with Seymour Senior Tyler Bicknell and his 20-1 record. Big time contenders come in the form of Cathedral's Ben Stewart, JC's Christian Redmond and Isaac McCormick of the burg. Look for Plainfield's Kammerer to surprise people along with Yorktown's Peyton Stites. 220: Clayton Scroggs and Ryan Guhl appear to be on a collision course for the finals but Edgewood's David Wilson and Monrovia's Dristin McCubbins look to upend them on their way. Other contenders for podium spots includeDalton Miller (sey), Joey Pier of Yorktown, Brennan Norman of Castle, Sam Vondersaar (Guerin), Dane Smith of Mooresville, Abel Rivera (THS), and Plainfield's Ernesto Mariscal. 285: Plainfield placer Bryce Biddle is on the preliminary bracket and looks to meet either JC's Brendan Sutton (8-0) or Brownsburg's Rickie Clark in the finals (if he can get past Riley McCubbins of Monrovia). Austen Dollens of Westfield and Jacob Rhoades of Yorktown look to contend as well as a plethora of youthful heavies. Team race generally comes down to Cathedral and Yorktown, but look for Brownsburg's to add a 3rd competitor to the mix and Jennings County and Monrovia will perform well. Many solid teams competing the next 2 days. If you're in the Indy area and want to see some great wrestling, head west on I-70 to the home of the state flag and check it out.

At New Haven 113: Spencer Cox Mooresville dec Adams Central Nick Liter(number 5 FWSS) 5-0. Elkhart Memorial Mejia pins Cox (2:59) Cox dec Martin (Leo, who I believe also beat Liter) 5-2

Mooresville and Franklin have a dual at Mooresville tonight. It will include a dual between our clubs at 5:30 and our Middle Schools will dual at the same time as the Varsity and JV on 3 mats (approximately 6:30). This weekend, we head to Zionsville where the host Eagles will wrestle with us, Center Grove, Brownsburg, Fountain Central, Chesterton, Greencastle, and Evansville Reitz.

There you go. I did not see that result as I was occupied on the other mat. Congrats to the Quakers.

At Mooresville, New Pal won handily over Homestead in the finals. Plainfield was 3rd, Mooresville 4th, Indian Creek 5th, Greensburg 6th, Greenwood 7th, and Decatur Central 8th. No known upsets here as I believe all the studs were separated in weight and there were few real challenges I saw.

Mooresville Super 8 will feature 2 pools of 4 with 2 cross-over matches for placement after initial Pool Play: Pool A: Mooresville Indian Creek Decatur Central Homestead Pool B: Plainfield Greenwood New Palestine Greensburg Should be some really solid wrestling this weekend.
