TeamGarcia

While the website contains a lot of useful information, you the user can help provide even more information to fill out results, team details, and wrestler details. Remember with great power comes great responsibility, please do not put fictitious or “funny” things in your profiles. They will be deleted and you risk a permanent ban from the website. If there are things you cannot update, but would like to send me a PM and I will update the information.
 
Here are some tutorials on how to update information for your team or wrestler.
 
Team Profiles
While most the information on that page is editable from that page the results, roster, and season history are not editable from that page directly.
1.       Go to Information->Teams
2.       Search for your team either alphabetically or using the search box
3.       Click your team
4.       Click the “Edit” link in the lower right corner
5.       Things you can edit
a.       Coach(see Coach Profiles later)
b.      Assistant Coaches
c.       Conference
d.      Twitter handle
e.      Facebook link
f.        YouTube link
g.       School colors
h.      Official Website
i.         TrackWrestling link(most of these are filled in)
6.       Click Save and you are done!
 
If there is a result that needs updating you can simply click the date of the result and then click “Edit” in the lower right corner of that result to update or change items within that result. You also have a direct link to the wrestlers in which you can edit the wrestler in that way. Team records are automagically updated when you add/edit/delete a result. So if your team's record is incorrect either there are double entries or you need to add some results.
 
Tournament Results
There are two ways to access the tournament results input area. First go to Results->Add Tournament Results or secondly go to Results->2016 Tournament Results then click the Add Tournament Results button. Both links take you to the same place.
 
1.       Go to the tournament results input area
2.       Change the type if needed
3.       Input each team and their scores
4.       At the bottom check if a team was a Varsity B team
5.       Add Details of final matches or brackets
6.       Click Save and you are done!
 
Dual Results
There are two ways to access the dual results input area. First go to Results->Add Dual Result or secondly go to Results->2016 Dual Results then click the Add Dual Results button. Both links take you to the same place.
 
1.       Go to the dual results input area
2.       Input each team and their scores
3.       At the bottom check if a team was a Varsity B team
4.       Add Details of final matches or brackets
5.       Click Save and you are done!
 
Note that we will tweet your results including tagging your team’s twitter IF and only IF you include details in your result. Plus don’t forget our contest for free gear for inputting results WITH match details. Also note if you enter a duplicate entry only administrators can delete those. Please send me a quick message of your duplicate so I can delete it.
 
Coach Profiles
There are two purposes for the coach profiles. The first is to provide an easier way to contact coaches as needed. Each profile has an area to update with a coach’s email and phone number. This information is viewable to ONLY coaches. The second purpose is for team history for the coach. If you click on a coach you will be able to view his history as a head coach. Note that is this is currently only for HEAD COACHES, but we are looking into adding assistants. If you are adding a team’s season history you may need to add some past coaches first before you begin. If a coach is not in the list you simply need to add him.
 
Add a coach
1.       Go to Information->Coaches and click the Add Coach button
2.       Fill in the coach’s name at the very least, the other information is optional
3.       Click Save and you are done!
 
Edit a coach
1.       Go to information->Coaches and search for the coach using the search box at the top
2.       Click the coach’s name and then the “Edit” link at the bottom right
3.       Update any needed information
4.       Click Save and you are done!
 
Note that the history portion is done in the team history area and will automagically update when you add a season with that coach included.
 
Team History
We have many teams who have submitted me their ENTIRE season history and if you have it please feel free to email me the information. If you want to take the bull by the horns and do this yourself here are the steps. Please make sure you aren’t entering duplicate years, but if you do simply contact me and I’ll fix it.
 
Add a new entry
1.       Go to Information->Team History and click Add History
2.       Fill in the information that is needed, note that the year is the last year of the season. For instance the 1997-98 year will be 1998.
3.       Click Save and you are done!
 
Edit an entry
1.       Go to Information->Team History and search for your school
2.       Click the year that you want to update
3.       Update the information that is needed
4.       Click Save and you are done!
 
Wrestler Profiles
This is one of the coolest parts of our website and sets us apart from any other hack website in this state or even country. When I started this website it was my vision to give the kids the best avenue to promote themselves and I truly believe this is it. This is a great recruiting tool as many college coaches have said they LOVE the profiles of the wrestlers. Note that administrators are the only ones that create profiles and these are of wrestlers on our watch lists for the rankings. If your wrestler is one we are watching he will have a profile.
 
Updating wrestler information
1.       Go to the wrestler’s profile by clicking on his name on a rankings page, team page, or by going to Information->Wrestlers and searching for him
2.       Click the Edit link at the bottom right hand corner.
3.       Fill in the appropriate information for the wrestler
a.       SAT Score
b.      ACT Score
c.       College Major
d.      GPA
e.      Freshman-Senior Wins/Losses
f.        Projected college weight
g.       TrackWrestling profile link
h.      Facebook link
i.         Twitter handle
j.        Instagram handle
4.       Click Save and you are done!
 
If there is a name misspelling, wrong school associated with your athlete, wrong weight, or grade please contact me and I will update it. Lastly, we will setup an email to submit pictures for the profiles in the coming weeks. Please be patient as we want these to be professional pictures and not bathroom selfies.
 
Wrestler Placements
You will see placements at national level events in your wrestler’s profile. Here is where you can add these. Note that they must be approved by an administrator in order to be in their profiles. Please be patient if we do not approve them immediately. There is a select list of events in which we allow for addition to this list. Here are the events: IHSAA State, ISWA Folkstyle State, ISWA Freestyle State, ISWA Greco State, Cadet Folkstyle Nationals, Cadet Greco Nationals, Cadet Freestyle Nationals, Junior Folkstyle Nationals, Junior Greco Nationals, Junior Freestyle Nationals, FloNationals, NHSCA Freshman Nationals, NHSCA Sophomore Nationals, NHSCA Junior Nationals, NHSCA Senior Nationals, IndianaMat Hoosier Preseason Open, Middle School State, Super 32, FILA Cadet Freestyle Nationals, FILA Cadet Greco Nationals, FILA Junior Freestyle Nationals, FILA Junior Greco Nationals. Please limit your ISWA credentials to Schoolboy and above age groups.
 
Adding an accomplishment
1.       Go to Information->Wrestler Accomplishments and click the Add Record button
2.       Fill in the needed information, note that the college is for collegiate accomplishments only.
3.       Click save and you are done!
 
Adding a Team
If you are entering in results and do NOT see a team in our list you will need to add it. Please double check that the team is not in our database! We have all Indiana teams and many out of state teams that have been entered. Note that the team will need to be approved by a moderator before you see it in the list so you will need to wait sometimes to enter specific results.
 
Adding a team
1.       Go to Information->Teams and select the Other category
2.       Press the Add Team button
3.       The least amount of information that is needed is team name and state. Please add parenthesis around the team’s state abbreviation, such as (OH), (MI), etc.
4.       Press save and wait for an admin to approve your new team.
 
Individual Results
These are only editable and by admins and our semi-state or state rankers. Please send us information if you have a result that is missing.
 
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My team's record is X-X, but it shows Y-Y fix this for me.
A: This has a simple fix, report your results! Every time you put in a new result the website recalculates your team's record. So thus REPORT YOUR RESULTS!
 
Q: Why don't you have individual results from XYZ tournament showing yet?
A: There are many potential reasons for this
     1. We are busy, it is on our to-do list
     2. We just received the results
     3. We don't know about the results as no one has posted them.
    In the end, be patient especially after big weekends.

Let the teachers teach...
Let the coaches coach...
Let the parents make the decision on what is best for their FAMILY... not just their student athletes, but their entire FAMILY...
... AND keep the over empowered IHSAA out of our personal decisions!
 
At the end of the day, the parents are responsible for raising their children, not the school, not the teacher and not the coaches.  Although they each should all be positive role models in these students lives and support the parents in whatever decisions they choose to make.  When a coach or school administrator undermines a decision the parent has made for their family, it really just shows how broken the system can become.  

Sorry , I was thinking about gambling . Spell Check lol.

Bellmont...It is two L's...We are not a liquor store or a horse track.

Reynolds, Bell and Roiux all win! Nate Rioux did not give up a single point. Good job boys!
 
Nate Rioux named outstanding wrestler.
 
#hendrickscountyhammers

Good day so far for the Contenders boys. Drew mills took runner up. Case Bell, Nate Rioux and Parker Reynolds all on the finals. Revin Dickman and Ray rioux wrestling back. Great job at this very tough tourney.

I don't have a team to fill your slot, but I had to chime in at the mention of Bazbeaux's...it makes me suddenly want to move back to Indy from overseas.

When the Indiana High School rankings are revealed, it will appear that there is one glaring omission.
 
Paul Konrath, who finished second at 106 pounds his freshman year and third at 113 pounds as a sophomore, has chosen to not wrestle this high school season. Konrath is also a Flo and a Fargo champion.
 
“This was a tough decision,” Konrath said. “There was quite a bit of thought behind it. My dad and I weighed the opportunities we saw with not wrestling for a high school and decided that was probably the best option for me.”
 
Konrath, who had previously wrestled for Mt. Vernon High School, has also decided to complete his education at Indiana Connections Academy, and online school.
 
The change in school to an online program will allow Konrath to wrestle in multiple national tournaments throughout the year. Those national tournaments are what the family is hoping will bring the most competition and the most college exposure to Paul.
 
Tim Konrath, Paul’s dad, didn’t like that Paul had to miss out on several tournaments due to high school.
 
“We went to as many tournaments as we could last year,” Tim said. “But the school frowns on missing too many days and we really pushed that envelope. His grades are very good, but they still want you in class.”
 
With the online schooling, that frees Paul up to do more traveling.
 
Paul will compete in Las Vegas, Missouri and in several other states this year.
 
The Konrath family believes that by entering so many national tournaments, they will get more college exposure than wrestling the high school season. They also are excited that they will get to train with top notch coaches they have met through some of the big tournaments.
 
Another reason for the decision, is that the rigors of high school wrestling have taken a toll on Paul, physically.
 
Paul has dislocated his elbow, cracked his sternum and broken his nose more times than he can remember. He has also dislocated his knee cap multiple times. He had surgery on his knee earlier this year.
 
“He really has to get some rest,” Tim said. “The high school season seems to always be hardest on his body, and the least rewarding as far as furthering his collegiate career.”
 
Paul, a devout Christian, doesn’t have a specific college he’s looking to attend. He doesn’t know yet what he wants to study or what he wants to do after college. He said all of those things he has left undecided, waiting to hear what God has in store for him.
 
“I know I may sound like a broken record,” Paul said. “But for me it’s a big deal to make sure I’m going where God wants me to, and doing what God wants me to do. I don’t want to get any ideas in my head about college or a career and it not be God’s plan.”
 
That doesn’t mean Paul doesn’t have goals. He wants to climb the national rankings as high as he can and he wants to keep getting better. He also hopes to stay healthy.
 
Paul is one of six Konrath brothers. His older brother Andrew was the best wrestler of the group, until Paul came along. Andrew was a two-time state qualifier.
 
“All of my boys, except Paul, started wrestling when they got to high school,” Tim said. “None of them started young like Paul. The boys actually pushed me to get Paul in a program early.
 
“I didn’t know how he would do. Then the coach called and told me that Paul was some sort of freak of nature, and I thought, ‘Yeah right, he’s a momma’s boy’. Then I went out and watched him and saw how much he loved wrestling and how he was pretty good at it. He won that tournament and we’ve been doing tournaments ever since.”
 
Paul said his favorite moment in wrestling was after he won at Fargo and was able to talk about God during his video interview.
 
“I’ve went to church my whole life and I have a passion for talking to the people around me about God,” Paul said. “That’s why whenever we go to a tournament I always meet new friends and I get to tell them about what Jesus has done for me. I love that.”
 
Whether or not the decision to not wrestle in high school will help Paul’s recruitment process has yet to be determined. The Konraths are going all-in with the idea that increasing Paul’s national presence can only help.
 
Paul still has strong ties with the Mt. Vernon wrestling family. His former high school coaches have been supportive. Paul plans to be at as many meets as he can, as a fan, and to be the team’s biggest supporter.
 
“It’s tough because Paul really loved the kids in that program, and the coaches,” Tim said. “But we feel we are still representing Mt. Vernon whenever he goes to these big tournaments. Not only is Paul representing Mt. Vernon, he’s representing Indiana and that’s something he takes very seriously.”

First practice was November 2nd.  Meaning that most teams finished their 10th practice on Friday.  Results should start coming in the next week.

Cathedral Duals , Dec. 5th , 8:30am.
WC, Avon , Bellmont other good teams have been added .

Yes, Trey some how pulled the #2 spot in 2a (classed wrestling here 3, 2 and 1a). I am really not sure how they can really rank him since he is a incoming freshman and never wrestled in the State of Florida. Only things he has wrestled in was Virigina Tech Camp with Brandon he went 17-0 and wrestled in one open tournament at 112lbs and went 4-0 never going out the 1st period. Another then that haven't wrestled a ton down here (banged up shoulder) just camps and alot of wrestling with some college guys that went to Brandon (VT, Oklahoma, Mich, Mich St, Cal Poly and some DII, NAIA guys). But still not enough to rank him...IMO. But it is still pretty cool to see his name on the rankings. We miss our Avon and CWA wrestling families, and still watch or follow Avon sports. Better yet we still love to follow Indiana wrestlers all the way from down south!

He is also working on recovery of his once visible abs..............and he is a great guy who is a solid coach and mentor to my kids and many others..........Loki you have said things on here that are on different levels of dumb so maybe just read and move on when its a post you don't agree with instead of trying to throw dirt on someone else who is really just trying to do his best for kids out there everywhere......blast away if you want but it will get no further response on the topic.

He is, at our rival school. While he has been there he has help turned a program from nothing, to being ranked 5th in the state. Seems like a better person then someone who judges somebody by some opinion they write on the internet.

#IllinoisPainTrainRollingThruIN
 
Either way...it would be great if Penn could Pack the Palace to show support for wrestling in general and IN wrestling in particular. The #1 team in the nation doesn't come rolling thru IN very often and it would be great to show them IN supports it's wrestling. If you got some young wrestlers just getting into the sport, bring them out and show them what the best looks like..the best in the nation and the best in IN..#2015StateChamps. Nothing better than exposing young talent to the sport with great teams and a great atmosphere, absent the DJ's and hype crews, although, who knows?
 
We've had a great run of D1 commits lately...congrats to all...and it's because these dudes and their families got out and wrestled the best. Some might have "had the hammer dropped" on them early, but it didn't deter them. Gotta wrestle the best to be the best or something like that. So if you're in the area and can round up your team/club/kids come on out on Jan 8 at 6pm and celebrate the sport and support great wrestling.

Just can't keep our guys in state! Congrats Brock
