I absolutely agree. Southport was one of the schools I have been mentioning. I used to watch the Boys State Wrestling Championships there in the 70's perfect place.

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

The make a wish foundation couldn't even pull this off

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.

Not trying to call you out, but what you're saying is that if you are ahead then stalling is a legit strategy. And if that is what you believe than you should also believe that a wrestler should be allowed to stall from any position.
 
To say a wrestler can be called for stalling from the down & neutral positions but never from the top position is extremely ambiguous to me. Stalling is stalling, no matter how or from which position.

Watched it online last night. Some solid wrestling. Could be the start of something big. Congrats to all that participated. These young ladies are blazing the path for great things. Lets here it for these wrestlers!
 
Big ups to Sabrina Predroza from Avon for bringing the state title home to #TheCounty.
 
Also... very impressed to see Harper bring so many girls. Awesome job coach!

Wait a minute... they are not home grown?Open enrollment is not allowed in all school districts, but must be pretty useful for team building.

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

I don't understand how you rank guys higher in State then in their semi states?  Poynter is ahead of Triana in semi state but its reversed in State rankings?  I'm not picking either over the other cause they are both studs, but it should be same one ranked over other in both. 

Being from a small school it's a big deal. Let alone half way through your junior year

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
