I agree with wrestle backs.

Didn't Tim Wrestle for Delta in the 70;s

To this day I still believe that David Palmer was the best high school wrestler to ever come out of Indiana. He blew his knee out his first year in college and we never got to see him become even greater. I was on David's team the first 2 years in high school before he transferred to Delta. Dave's Soph year he broke his back in a car wreck and still came back and won the state. I think before its done I say Mason is the best period.

Ahh yea isn't Leonard a 145 pounder.

Well if I may say so myself this was just last Friday at Girls State. Hamilton Heights parents cooked for 120 ref,managers, and coaches and it was straight out of a chefs dream.lol

Sorry about the Eastern Double posting I tried to fix that but couldn't figure it out. Maybe a moderator can fix that.

Delta had 4 state champs in 81' Senior Chris Campbell State Champ at 126lbs, Senior Don Heinzelman 132lbs State Champion  Senior Greg Gadbury State Champion at 155lbs and Junior David Palmer State Champion at 167lbs Senior Chris Ruble 4th at 112lbs and Senior Doug Campbell qualifier at 119lbs so they sent 5 seniors that year not 6. My mistake but what I memory for an old guy I still have.lol

Well, we are seeing some things that we thought would happen and we can always make adjustments but we now have 102 girls in this tourney. When this tourney reaches the state next week we should have 8 girls in each bracket but a couple like 88lbs and HWT they have 3 in each. My idea from the beginning wasn't to exclude but include as may girls as possible. I am glad to see that we are filling up 182 and 195 and 220 and HWT that tells me some girls want a chance at this and I am glad for them. It has to start somewhere as anything does. We have worked hard to get here and really covered a lot of territory. We can always go to 7 weight classes but at this point I am glad we included any and every girl that had a dream to wrestle no matter what their weight was. Coach Myers IHSGW

Like as a fan at the door? 

It is now time to go to track wrestling and sign your girls up for the regionals in your area. Go to track wrestling and go to events and look up IHSGW and log your girls on to the south or north regionals. If you are below I-70 you will register for the Franklin Community High School Regionals and if you are north of I-70 you will register for the Rochester High School Regionals. We have now for the last 3 months have sent out info to your ADs on this tourney and we just sent out info as well to all coaches that we could find emails for. If you have additional question's that I can answer email them to me at garymyers86@gmail.com.

     Yorktown did a fine job and Cathedral as well. I just happened to see more of their matches. I witnessed a lot of hard wrestling and a lot of young men and women we should all be proud of. On a side note, I want to send a lot of praise to Jennings County. Before the finals, my wrestler and our coaches, and a couple of wrestlers who weren't wrestling that day, decided to go into the Mooresville Wrestling Room with our Chaplain to say a final prayer before Riley White wrestled in his final match of the day.

     Jennings County wrestlers were warming up, jumping rope and drilling. When we started our prayer in the corner of the room, they all stopped what they were doing and stayed quiet until we finished the prayer. Who said wrestlers have no class? Also, during the National Anthem not a soul was moving, kneeling, or talking.Wrestlers are perceived as a harsh group, but character is never in question. I witnessed many things today that remind me why I have my own son wrestling. Jennings County you have my respect. Coach Myers Hamilton Heights

Lol I mean there is a guy named Forfeit that is actually ranked ahead of my junior wrestler. Now I know my guy is 0-0 but I promise you he actually comes to practice not sure of this guy named Forfeit.

Pipe down all of Hamilton Heights Wrestlers are putting in extra conditioning this week to try and wear out the number one seeds for you boys .

lol I love the "locks" at the end of the choices for each weight class. That's special.

I am just not there so it is a no from me but what do I know.

You better not look past Hamilton Heights as we have 10 8th graders coming in......lol What to soon?

Hwt Dan Phifer from Tipton was sick the morning of and couldn't make the trip. Daniel had committed to Greco and the second team in Freestyle.

Congratulations. I look forward to watching them wrestle.

Brownsburg I wrestled your IHSAA 3rd place finisher in 1983 Paul Meunier from Brownsburg tough match as I won 1-0

This is all Blaclkford up until 2002. I can be reached at garymyers86@gmail.com I hope this helps.

Look I said it when he was a freshman and I will say it again and again there isn't a better wrestler than Mason Parris. 

I have the book the Echoes of the Elder It goes back to the beginning of wrestling in Indiana.

No, the short jokes are meant to keep you down.
