    rockfordmalock: I think your close on most weights. I think 126 is the biggest difference I would have: I would put it: 1 Collier (D) 2.Strawsma (BC) 3. Wade (H) 4. Switzer © 195- I would go with 1. Jones (BC) 2. Wickes (MC) 3. Dunbar (H) 4. Baldwin (LJ) Also Miller vs Davis at 106 is a tossup and probably the most anticipated match this weekend and looking forward to: I also got Mote over Doty at 170 in finals. Team Scores: Harrison Jeff West Lafayette Delphi McCutcheon BC Rossville Carrol Frontier Faith CC

    My older son, who used to wrestle in Ohio had a teammate that got penalized in a similar manner. He was wrestling the final match of a day of a 5 match dual tournament. He dislocated his elbow in the 3rd period of a tight match. He somehow kept wrestling and the match went into OT. The kid had a high pain threshold. The kid miraculously found a way to get a takedown basically with one arm and won the match. It was amazing. During the formal handshake, the wrestler put out his good arm while his injured arm was tucked in to protect himself. The losing wrestler intentionally grabbed the bad arm with the dislocated elbow and shook it hard. Our wrestler of course gave him the old "F Bomb you". The ref immediately hit him with a flagrant misconduct and made him forfeit the match he just won and the four others that he won that day. Ohio had the you miss the next meet rule, but didnt matter as the kid was out for the season. That was one of the most bogus calls I have ever seen. I guess with profanity, its subjective up to the ref how he calls it. But I think the refs should give them the a warning and benefit of the doubt as the penalty is quite severe. I hope there was no bias or malice towards Twin Lakes.

    They were having a good match and score was tied, and I would describe as Armuth got a body lock or bear hug, picked him and took him straight to his back. It happened real fast and was an explosive move.

    Good point Hook and a Half. Imperial Japan's intentions and actions in WW2 were evil and you could find many more examples of treachery done the human race if you look in the history books. They are probabably only second to the Nazi's in their level of destruction. I think the sad part of the whole story was that 30 Phillipinos were needlessly killed after war and hundreds more injured by this guys crew due to their extreme unguided fanatacism. I dont know if I would call this guy evil nor would I call him a hero. I think the story is amazing and unbelivable that somebody would live like that for so long without dying, being captured or to give up. Its kind of like really finding Sasquatch. On a side note, Pearl Harbor was a much bigger terrorist action than ever 9/11 was. Even though some might call both of these acts of war. The example of his quote not wanting to lose was cool in the context of tenacity, sacrifice and resoursefulness he endured. But if you look at the motiviation behind his country's purpose to put him in this situation, it arguably could be described as evil. I think its good to differntiate between the motivation of a "no surrender" Japanese Soldier and a high school wrestler. Both don't want to lose, but the reason for the high school wrestler is much more pure. On you're point of Japan considering this guy a hero, Onada moved from Japan to Brazil partly because of its culture change or passification if you would call it after the war. Probably a huge cultural shock to go back to Japan 30 year after the war.

    Hopefully Lile is alright. Very disapointing and tough for a kid to go through that.
  9. Wrestling Scholar
    Was that the Armuth match this weeked where he tore his ACL? We where wondering why he wasnt wrestling the last match at the Avon Duals. I guess that explains it.

    It amazes me that they would continue to fight that long. I read there were multiple groups on different islands who never surrendered. I guess this group killed 30 Phillipinos over the 30 years. They said that they sent pamphlets into the jungle that the war was over but he thought it was an American propagandic ploy to get them to surrender. It reminds of the Gilligans Island episode where the Japanese Sailor in a mini-submarine, who still thought the war was going, took the whole Gilligans Island crew as prisoners of war. Of course he didnt rescue them. Coincidentallly, the actor who played the professor also died yesterday.

    I saw on news today about the WW2 Japanese Soldier just died, who lived in a Phillipines Jungle for 30 years and continued to fight and never surrendered. He kept his patched uniform, gun, ammo and grenades ready the whole time. His name was Hiroo Onada and finally gave up once his retired commander searched him out in the jungle, and told him WW2 was over in 1974. I read a great quote from his book that made me think of wrestling, and if wrestlers had this mentality, they would be unbeatable. The quote was "Man should never give up. I never do. I would hate to lose". If a guy can live in the rain forest jungle eating insects, bananas and the occasioanal wild cow, and also survive through disease, foot rot, and coping with and all the other crazy jungle stuff while be hunted by the local police for 30 years, then a kid can fight for 6 minutes of a match giving every thing he has. http://news.msn.com/obits/japans-last-wwii-straggler-soldier-91-dies?ocid=ansnews11

    13 national champs is impressive. I wonder if thats combined Fargo, NCAA or some other thing NHSCA tournament. Steve
  15. Wrestling Scholar
    Thats how you get consideration for a national rankings. Its good to see a team challenge themselves by going out of state and wrestling elite competition.

    Indiana has something against wrestlebacks. Far as I know the only state that doesn't have them. #14 better suck it up and don't want to hear complaints, because thats the way it is.

    The Kid that took 8th grade twice and became an Ohio State champion I referenced earlier did take some lets call it teasing. But he wasnt the best student either, so it really wasnt that big of a deal to everybody else. He also had his drivers license before everybody else and was popular because he could give classmates rides. On St Paris Graham, one thing they take advantage of is the open enrollment rules. A lot of kids in neigboring school districs with wrestling skills transfer to St Paris school district. If you want to see high schol redshirting and occurences of elite kids moving in to the district, look at Apple Valley, MN another public school.

    My older son had a teammate on his wrestling team whose dad made the kid take eighth grade twice for athletic purposes like a redshirt year. This was in Ohio. I think the rules are a little different in Ohio on age but he did turn 20 his senior year. He also won a state championship his senior year and placed 2nd his Junior year at the old 215 weight class. He did also get a D1 scholarship, but never stuck it out the whole freshman year of college.

    For team title, Avon has to be favored based on rankings. They're strong throughout their lineup and probably will place in 10 or more weights Havent seen Westfield, but they obviously could contend based on their results this year. Returning team champ HSE is not as strong as last year, but might still have enough firepower to win this. Some other good teams like Brownsburg, Noblesville, Harrison, Jeff, Zionsville, fishers will make it tight race.

    I ended up with the Pittsburgh Panthers. Not really a fan.
  21. Wrestling Scholar
    We now Cathedral wouldnt take a dive if one of their kids got slammed.
  22. Wrestling Scholar
    Back in 1985, the Swane vs Chute match. ;D

    I havent seen the preseason magazine Where do you get it? Im sure its as quality as your website.
  24. Wrestling Scholar
    This is cool and well done.. Rarely see publications that promote wrestling this well.
  25. Wrestling Scholar
    I agree the mats are the biggest limitation to college boundaries. Most of the wrestling I've watched is in the northern part of state, and I havent seen it called much with the exception of a few refs. Most of the time, I see called is the double stall call with the refs afraid to ding just one guy.
