Snider looked tough as nails yesterday, good work from some very hard-working kids.

The young Eastside kids looked good as well. The next few years should be fun to watch. Wouldn't it be great to see a year where Eastside take several kids to state and brings back some medals. Good Job and good luck next weekend, maybe bust some brackets with a 4 over 1. 

Fort Wayne SS, state ranked #5 Neal Mosier (Delta) VS state ranked #8 Ethan Holloway (Rochester)

Not too bad overall.  Looks like some very good under classman coming back, especially at the higher weights. 

1-1st

1-2nd

3-4th

6-5th 

7-6th

4-7th

6-8th                                 

This seams like a silly topic to me. Why are we blaming the victim of an illegal move for wrestling later on if they feel like they can.  Hears an idea, don't do the illegal move then you wont have a problem. Maybe its just the cop in me but penalizing the victim and rewarding the offender seams wrong.

I didn't see the match other then the video but it seams everyone is going on the assumption that Beeks would have won the match. Either way Hardcastle was good enough to win the tournament. So if Beeks would have won that means that the 2nd best wrestler would have went home. This is another great example of needing wrestle backs. As far as wrestling after getting hit in the knee, it could defantly affect you in that match but after some ice and ibuprofen you could be good to go after that. Sucks either way for one that a good kid won't make it.

Tuesday.

I think it was just a couple years ago we had more champs then any other SS. We were not as deep but we did have several champs.

I will try and add them later tonight if I get time.

To add to this is just the strain of the academics of collage. Going to class, going to practice and all the papers to write. I tip my hat to the kids that can do all that and have success on the mat and can keep their grades up.

Really. Your talking about percentages and being fair. What s the percentage of 1a wrestlers to winning a title at state compared to 3a.  Team state was the one thing we had a shot of going to and maybe placing or winning but now that is again moving in favor of 3a schools as well. I just don't get it I guess.

Ok, let me see if I got this straight. The 3a class is getting split so they will go from getting 12 teams at team state to 16 and the 1a and 2a teams will get reduced to 8 teams each. So the one tournament that small schools look forward to is getting harder for them to get in because of the reduced number but easier for big schools. The big schools already have the state tournament to win which the small schools have next to no chance in winning. Just seams silly to me that once again the small schools are getting the short end of the stick. I am also surprised that the 3a schools are ok with this, wont they just be winning a watered down title. Will there be a final match with the 3a champ and the 4a champ so we will know who the real champ is ? Just frustrated I guess. I know I know, just work harder.

Earlier in the week unranked 152: Eli Hilger (FWBD) over #9 in state Scottie Saylor (CAFW) (Dec 5-1)

i think they said to send the results to the rankers and they can add them.

I just wanted to say congratulations to my blazers for a great conference win this weekend. We beat Prairie Heights for the first time in 20 years. I was also told this was Prairie Heights first conference duel lose after 71 straight wins. I want to say that Prairie Heights has been the pinnacle of 1a wrestling in the state for years and I have looked at there program as the one to strive to be like. Their  coaches and kids were class act during and after the match. This was a great duel with high intensity and I wish all duels would be this exciting. Its what makes wrestling the best sport there is.

I guess it seams to me that Asa had the cradle locked up tight. So even if the ref would have waited it still would have resulted in a pin.

Now lets break the placers down by class and see how lopsided it is. Then we can start the class wrestling debate.

yep, same with mine.

Eastside up in the northeast corner closed again.

Gimson vs Schuller at Goshen.

Looks like they must have locked the brackets so they could make changes. I can see that the Carroll brackets were changed from what they were the night we did them. They took all the kids that were drawn into a seeded kid and placed them against unseeded kids. This is a good thing in the long run.
