    Joe, My older won wrestled in Ohio and they had 3-4 two day tournaments. And the state tournament was 3 Days and the District and Sectionals were 2 day tournaments, but they started in the evening. I wrestled in Kansas and we always had a couple of two day tournaments. Most of the two day tournaments in Indiana are on the holidays when kids are out of school. Would you say IHSAA's philosophy is to deprioritizing sports in effort to keep kids in the classroom more. Thus one reason the Indiana state tournament is one of the shortest in the country. Good or bad, that's the way it is.

    http://www.flowrestling.org/coverage/252464-2015-Walsh-Ironman/article/38479-2015-Ironman-Final-Results#.Vm84f02FPcs Looks like Wyoming Seminary will be #1 team. Too much for Blair and St Paris Graham. Oak Park River Forest ties for 11th. Lot of Chicago area teams doing well.

    That would be great. Lets also add a 4th period of MMA while were at it. That would be interesting.

    We need wrestle backs at State. Its a joke a guy has to win 8-9 matches to get to state. Then if he loses in the first round, he's done. Same can be said for semi-state.

    I Rarely see the top guy with legs for stalling. This was probably a good ref who had guts to call stalling. IMO, I see so many guys just put legs in and do nothing. Just makes for a boring match.

    So the penalty for doing this is losing one event. I'm thinking hypothetically here. Say a team went to the Iron Man, then they get penalized by choosing one event on their schedule to drop. I would drop the one night dual event. You just lose one meet! This in my opinion would be worth the value in going to the Ironman.

    The Missouri event was a dual format, so you could control and schedule who you wrestle. The Ironman is a tournament bracket, so the potential to wrestle somebody beyond the 300 mile radius is present in every round. Thus making it impossible to wrestle this event. Just curious, what kind of trouble did Yorktown get into.
  11. Wrestling Scholar
    Harrison is a lot closer but that's not the problem. The Ironman is in Cuyahoga Falls, OH which is well within the 300 miles distance rule. The problem with the Ironman is that it has teams from all over the country, (FL, VA,CA, CO, TX, Etc) where the schools are over 300 miles.

    Joe should have been and attorney and a prosecutor as he would have been nasty in court. Look at him go dig deep for this info. I hope he never digs up any of the stupid things I might have said on this site.

    I don't know the finer details. So I admit I'm speculating. But looks like the whole transfer thing didn't work out for Berkebile. The most logical place is to transfer home or Frankton as in this case. Say he transferred to another elite program like you suggested. That would look really suspicious, no way he would get eligilbity waiver as it would appear he was a team hopper. And again he could be transferring to a place you might not be comfortable with. Who knows if he would like the coach there. You tried it once and that didn't work out. So you go back to Frankton, you don't have to pay out of district fees and at least its something your comfortable with and the commute is much better. Maybe the reason he's transferring because he was home sick and missed his friends and school he grew up with and figured wrestling for an elite program is really not as important as he thought. I bet that's at least part of the reason he's going back. But when you transfer twice in two years, you lose the benefit of the doubt. He gambled and lost, and he has to pay with a full season of eligibility.

    Joe, you probably know back story here. But Im reading between the lines, and it looks like something went bad with the relationship between Coach and wrestlers. So I would define not liking a coach an "athletic reason".

    Here's an interesting article about the Indiana transfer rule. Seems like this is a problem for most sports. I thought interesting that only .48% of transfers aren't granted eligibility. It appears Indiana rules have a lot of exceptions and are typically easy to get around as compared to other states. I think we got to go back to the spirit of these transfer rules. Isn't it in the name of fair competition, the rules are designed to discourage athletes from transferring to schools with better situations and or resources. Here's my take on this. I think the two athletes transferring to and then away from Yorktown were probably very aware of the ISHAA transfer rules, and I think they calculated and gambled that they would gain their eligibility back. Looks like they've probably lost the gamble at this point. And its pretty apparent that the reason they transferred was very likely for athletic reasons. So under the intent of the rule, no one is getting screwed. I think where it seems unfair to them is that due to the murkiness of the IHSAA rules, most kids find away to avoid the transfer rule and they didn't get the benefit of the Ambiguity. Also, it looks like Yorktown has benefited from athletic transfers, and if they don't want to play the same game when kids leave. Im just saying, the next time a kid transfers to Yorktown, the AD from the school he just left shouldn't approve the transfer. What goes around comes around. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2014/08/08/indianas-controversial-high-school-transfer-rules-draw-scrutiny-in-wake-of-eron-gordon-case/13773041/

    That's rough. After the appeal, I don't think you have anymore options. Looks like it will be a long season for Berkebile.

    This is a no brainer. Portage, please go to the Detroit Catholic tournament. So why would you stay home and wrestle the same schools you'll see 2 to 3 more times and pound on a smaller much weaker program. Vega knows what it takes to get to the next level, and going to nationally ranked tournaments is the way to do it. I think the DAC comprehends this concept. Portage's 2nd team will also do pretty will at the CP meet. Im glad to see some interstate competition for once. Indiana is so insular in their wrestling. With Penn wrestling Oak Pak River Forest and Portage going to Detroit, I think were seeing a paradigm change in the way top programs are thinking. Next thing is to get a team to the Ironman. Of course we got to get over the gigantic ISHAA hurdle for that.

    If thats true about Tanelli, than thats too bad. It easier to get in state kids as they have to pay less in state tuition, and it helps attendance at meets when the local fan base is watching Indiana kids. Of course Tanelli needs to recruit out of state, and bring some 5 star recruits in to be competitive. But thats easier said than done. But he's also going to have score some good Indiana kids. Dont tell me Tanelli wouldnt want some of the top kid Indiana kids. Who wouldnt like Chad Red on their roster.

    Funny thing about it is that MD92 is getting riled up, and its not even the Indiana community doing the rankings. These are two guys over at Intermat. Maybe MD92 should complain to them. I wonder if Warren Central or even EMD can crack top 25 in Flo rankings.
  20. Wrestling Scholar
    OPRF will be a heavy favorite, but wouldn't be surprised if Penn could keep it relatively close. I say Penn gets 4 to 5 wins. Maybe gives up some bonus points. In guessing 35 to 19. There's a lot upside to this for Penn. This type of match would give them great exposure in rankings. If they get within 10, this will put them in top 25 for sure. Nothing better than wrestling the best competion. You find out what you need to work on. Maybe they get a few losses on record, but this is golden experience, and makes those tough other Indiana teams not as tough.
  21. Wrestling Scholar
    I say good for Penn wrestling that match. They'll at least find out where they stand nationally. Theres so many good National teams surrounding Indiana, about time someone had the guts to go wrestle one of them.
  22. Wrestling Scholar
    So are they good on their feet or they good at pinning. Or do they even have pinning?
  23. Wrestling Scholar
    If it did move, would we regret that our critical complaints resulted in the move from Merrillville, then we would feel sad and nostalgic about all the good wrestling memories at Merrillville? Probably not
  24. Wrestling Scholar
    Merrillville's bleacher werent extended either resulting in being lower than the 2,800.
  25. Wrestling Scholar
    So is this rumor or real?
