I don't understand how people in the state can put together 10+ teams to go to VA Beach or Disney but we can't fill the SB, Cadet, and Junior teams. I know the fact that they are FS/GR makes a difference but what else?

I'm not trying to start a major debate but it is disturbing to see 4 forfeits out there. It would be a major disappointment for my wrestler to be on a team that walks in with a 24 point deficit.

I know my son has let teams down by choosing not to or being unable to participate once or twice so I fully understand the many reasons that could keep someone from participating. That does not make it any less frustrating though.

Congrats to these young men that got out there to represent and put in work,

We are sorry to hear that. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

5th place out of 150+ teams is pretty impressive for an all IN team!   I believe that Team Kong United won the whole thing and that was their only loss.  Congrats to IN High Rollers Black!    Awesome job to all of the other boys that went out and represented IN on the other teams also.   It is a great way to start the Summer.

Sounds right for the score.   On Hughes, I heard he was winning and was called on a defensive pin.    

No idea on 145 and 152.

Team score is 27-27 at start of Parris. 

Ranked Alan Hart is who Bailey wrestled and pinned.   Not sure how but the team score is 21-15 HR on Swank.

Swank lost in points but I do not know score.   Hughes up now against Bell.  I believe Bell is the guy who gave Mark Hall a scare at the Dapper Dan this year.

Larson and Parris have been alternating between 220 and 285

This is who they have now:

Team Nauman Goofy

106 Andrew Cerniglia 8th PJW State Champion

113 Connor Brown 11 3X MO State Champ

120 Jake Cherry 11 PA State Qualifier; NHSCA Junior National 5th

126 Alan Hart 11 OH State 3rd; NHSCA Junior National Champion

126 Connor McGonagle 9 NE Runner-up; NHSCA Freshman National Champion

138 Dallas Bulsak 11 PA States 8th

145 Dustin Marteney   OH State Champion 8

152 Jimmy Saylor 12 PA State Runner Up; NHSCA Senior Nationals 4th

160 Jake Wentzel 12 2X PA State Champion

170 Austin Bell 12 PA State 3rd; NHSCA Senior National 3rd

182 Dakota Geer 12 PA State 3rd, NHSCA Senior National Champion; Flo National Champion 12

195 Gregg Harvey 12 PA State 5th

220 Jared Campbell 11 OH State 2nd; NHSCA Junior National Champion, Flo National Champion

285 Tom Kiloran   PA State 2nd

27-13 and we get to see Parris and Schultz now!

I'm not sure since there is no actual score but Hughes won and I think that makes it 21-13.   Came Jones up against IA state champ Lyons now.

Down 21-9 with losses at 152 and 160.  One Drew Hughes now.

220 is the freshman phenom that beat them both at scholastic duals.  Today is a new day though and one of them will get a chance to beat him.  HWT is just a monster.

Team is down 15-6 now with losses at 138 and 145. 

On Black now.  Team is up 9-6.  They won at 113, 126, 132.

This is who they are wrestling.

How was the selection process handled for these teams?

I was going to ask the same thing.  I thought it was based on non-senior placement at state.  Maybe that is the case and all placers declined in a few spots.

It is nice to see Marian filling their first line-up with quality Indiana boys.

Great matches , and a win for Red gets him one step closer to being called Indiana's greatest

Why would this win over Pletcher be different than his last 2 wins over Pletcher?

_{The Junior groups seem larger than usual which is great!   Did anyone else notice Nathan Walton's jump to 195?}

As of 2/4, it looks like he was ranked #1 at 141 on Intermat NJCAA rankings at North Idaho.  I do not see him in the top 8 today so maybe someone else can update from there.  

Pruett is listed as a Junior on the IHSAA bracket but I thought he was a senior.   Now that I see Bam on list, maybe it was right.  Anyone know what grade he is in for sure?

My predicted lineup (without denials) 

106 - Keyuan Murphy 

113 - Nick Weaver 

120 - Drew Hildebrandt 

126 - Brock Hudkins 

132 - Red (Most likely will decline or not be invited) Molloy 

138 - Evan Eldred 

145 - Isaac eicher 

152 - Steven Lawrence 

160 - Jacob Covaciu 

170 - Drew Hughes 

182 - Spencer Irick? 

195 - Jake Kleimola 

220 - Kobe Woods, Sam Hipple 

285 - Shawn Streck 

 

Given, most of these wrestlers aren't local or might have commitments to wrestle at the Pittsburg Wrestling Classic. I could easily see 5-7 of these wrestlers decline or not even be invited. 

The criteria is that the top 2 seniors are invited, it is not a fan vote or coaches call.  I would love to hear your theory behind why some of the top seniors may not be invited though.   By Criteria, that would mean that Red has the #1 spot if he wants it.  It also means that the senior that won 182 and the senior that placed 2nd would be invited, not Irick.  That would also put Guhl and Hipple on the list if they want the spots, not Woods.   It is in IL this year, not IN so wrestlers not being "local" should not be a factor.   The Pittsburg Wrestling Classic is weeks away from this event.  I believe the actual date is March 13.

I dont think Brayton ever stops smiling! Ecerytime I see him or talk to him he is grinning from ear to ear #TheCounty

Except that mean mug he was trying so hard to put on in the intros.  I was dying watching him because he was almost straining to keep that serious mean face.  It is unnatural for him since he is almost always smiling.

At 160, Warren (PM) & Ruberg can't both qualify - They wrestle in the ticket round.  If you meant Warren Central (Herrick), he has Bane in the ticket round.  Rough draws in a tough weight class.

Ruberg and Warren in the ticket round?  That is just not right.

So your example shows Walton wrestles Andrew Davison well in a folkstyle match........problem is Walton does not have to wrestle Andrew Davison............

I agree.   I think Hughes would beat Davison also.    I should note that I am a Walton fan but we are talking about Drew Hughes here.

Is there a reason you are assuming Lee is out? Or just saying both possibilities?

It looks like that post was made before sectionals so it was still up in the air.

Didn't see david bryant for hamilton heights

Didn't that happen last year also? 

My top 3 for fun (without consideration of potential bracket placement):

106  Rooks, Mills, Curtis

113   Cummings, White, Triana

120   Hildebrandt, Glogouski, Reitz

126   Bailey, Hudkins, Torres

132   Red, Lee,  Melloh

138  Lee, Eldred, Coy

145  Lee, Vaughn, Timberman

152  Lawrence, McCormick, Johnson or Dunn

160  Covaciu, Bane, Ruberg

170  Hughes, Hughes, more Hughes

182  Rypel, Jones, Davison

195  Stewart,  Tonte,  Wilderman

220  Woods, Parris, Larson

285 Streck
