Cortez/Schammert and Sues/Simpson matches were both great matches and very close until final minute of 3rd period

Hammond Civic Center, Older building lots of upstairs seating decent sized Gym or The Sports Plex 

He said cool venues 

Crown Point has a relatively new outdoor hockey rink (has a roof) at Bulldog Park, it would be a pretty sweet outdoor dual/tourney (weather pending) with the historic Crown Point courthouse in the backdrop

No speculation needed here. I’m staying a Hobart. 

Wasn't anything I heard, just crossed my mind, hope you have a good off season

I see you @Kyle Ayersman liking that post...........is that a hint one of the regions best may return to the area and compete against his alma mater and former coach?!?!?  

Or is @Jcjcjc going to head back to his former coaching school and give up the reigns at Hobart to @brickfor6 

Lots of speculation and possibilities.................tbd

Are evan cruz and orlando cruz brothers at CP?  Also, I am sure the Schurgs had to qualify together at least once, there are like 100 of them

The 5th placer who was the 3 seed is now back in, from what i am told

That's against the law on so many levels let alone morally screwed up.. Being a coach is challenging enough, without having to defend your character over something like that.

Yea its sad and just unfortunate, and it is still ongoing right now.  If you read the story of what they said happened you would literally scratch your head, it's hard to believe a lawyer would even take it on.  This coach has been involved with wrestling his whole life, coached for over 10 years and has never done anything malicious and to have these false allegations thrown at him for the benefit of someone else's gain is horseshit.  Sick world we live in sometimes

This reminds me of a great story back in 2015-16.  Yorktown had recruited Dru Berkible to come wrestle for them when he was in middle school.  Dru wrestled for Yorktown High School while living in the Frankton district during his freshman year.   After his freshman year he decided he wanted to come back to Frankton and wrestle for the district he lived in.  Yorktown did not like this so they refused to sign off on him.  Once again, He lived in the Frankton district the whole time.  The IHSAA got involved and still said no.  Now understand, Yorktown's had a history of non-district kids and convenient  move-ins (Jackson, Hunt, Curtis, Rutter, Walker, Carroll, Berkbile, Milius twins, Vanhorn....should I keep going???)  I can say that I even had one of these young men in class at the time and he explained to me that he had to use one of the assistant coach's rental addresses to become eligible however he was actually spending time traveling from his hometown and also spending most nights at other wrestlers houses for the year.  Oh man I could add so many more stories, however, back to the point.  Frankton was smart and used the help of a past Eagle wrestler who has since become a successful lawyer and took it to the IDOE.  News Flash...the IDOE does not like lawyers and granted him full and immediate eligibility that year.  It was a crazy time and one I had to scratch my head about because I had taught and coached football at Yorktown prior to coaching at Frankton.  Everyone knew what was going on.  Them not releasing him after all the kids they took away from other programs was ridiculous.  It was hotel Yorktown, where you could check in any time you wanted but could never check out.  In the end, however, Frankton won that battle.  Had this young man gotten the help of a lawyer, or maybe he did????, the outcome might have gone in his favor

 

On a side note, thankfully all the administrators and the coaches, except the principal, involved with all the recruiting and unethical behavior are long gone.  Yorktown has since hired a great young coach in Jacob Stephenson who is going to do things the right way and worry more about developing wrestlers and a program and less about his coaching record. 

Getting a lawyer involved is spot on, it happened with a kid this year, a kid was denied eligibility due ruling he transferred for athletic reasons, appealed and lost, next step, get a lawyer and make up some absolutely absurd story that the coach injured him which is why he transferred and boom just like that you are eligible........now the coach is under fire for something that never took place.......unbelievable

Random question what happened to LC Nam Doan? Think he finished 7th in state last year haven’t heard anything about him this year.

Pretty sure he is ineligible 

IMO, absolutely zero chance Jesse goes to Purdue

My thoughts and prayers to the Myzak family........what a fantastic obituary 

What also is impressive is that the article says it will be done before this wrestling season starts

Shout out to the 2012 Heritage Hills coaches 

Gelen Robinson was beating Jared Boehm first round Saturday morning at state and was called for an illegal slam.  Gelen was up big and there was only a minute left in the match.  Jared was deemed unable to continue and instead of allowing him to win by inj. default, the HH staff and Jared decided to give the match to Gelen.  Us coaches went on to praise the nobility and selflessness of the HH staff and Jared for weeks to come.  Its terrible to see injuries happen and ones bad enough to not allow a kid to wrestle, but when things like this happen it shows you what this sport instills into these young men and how coaches truly lead by example.  

I thought in the spirit of it being the greatest weekend of the year we can share the greatest experience/story that we have encountered during state weekend.  Mine has to be my first year as head coach and being FORTUNATE enough to coach such a hardworking kid that earned earned every bit of his state championship.  I say fortunate because I know some coaches go there entire careers (my dad being one of them, 20 years) without having the joy of coaching a champ under the lights.  Going down 5-0 in the first period, Jake wrestled his tail off to score 9 unanswered points to take the 195 title.  i do not coach anymore but I think about that match all the time and look forward every year to seeing a match where the underdog comes from behind to win a big one.  

I know there are some great/inspirational memories and stories from this weekend and look forward to reading them!

Best of luck to everyone this weekend and drive safe!

2. At some point in time, the Indiana legislature dictated to the IHSAA  that it is not ok to miss school for sports participation.  As you notice the whole very long state series takes place on weekends.  With a one class state system, and to have full wrestle backs, you would to extend the tournament to weekdays requiring  the missing of missinv of school which is strongly against IHSAA philosophy.

 

 

This is their policy, BUT how many kids miss school Friday of state so that their team can get down to Indy with ample time to get ready?  I know most if not every region team leaves before 9 am (CST), so essentially missing the whole day.  This has to be true for most if not all of every corner of the state, right?  So what would be the difference of having the tourney start earlier Friday?  Teams could leave Thursday night or really early Friday morning (pretty much every tourney their whole life) to get down there.

 Just @ontherise219...because he likes to make fun of me on RSN.

Just because you have a marker tattoo

Hurt it in his first match of the day, it may be broken, could not put any weight on it.  Barely made it through the ticket round
