On top of that they actually called stalling on Hartleroad when he was trying to control Smith who was running to escape! Smith backed up all over the mat but was able to turn so he backed up to the edge and then backed to the center.

THIS!!! You and I were wondering the same thing!!!!

Way to early numbers 1’s ?

it’s the day after state and this can change quick. 

Hartleroad was the aggressor throughout his semifinal. I spent most of the match wondering why the refs didn't call stalling against his opponent, who would only give ground and not directly attack throughout the match. 

---Hartleroad impressed this weekend pulling down 3rd in a loaded heavyweight field. 75% of the field @ 285's are Seniors. And he finished 3rd. I would look for him again next year to improve on that.

Why make our wrestling softer and have wrestle-backs? Should we give kids a second chance after they lose? Life's tough, when I lose $25k on poor investments, I don't get a redo and get that money back.

The Auburn Assassin will be the grand marshal in the Brownsburg victory parade.

I feel like they should both send him a ring.

Yep, he took injury time in his match with my son when he was in jeopardy of getting turned and he clearly wasn't injured. It shouldn't be allowed to happen. And before anyone says "It's good strategy" - it's not. It's lying. My kid may have lost the match, but at least he did it on his feet with his integrity intact. 

Has a single wrestler ever had as significant an impact on the Indiana state tournament wrestling landscape as this young man did?  His upset win Friday night made the seemingly impossible;  possible. The shockwaves of that win changed the tournament landscape for the remainder of the weekend. Hats off to you big man! You opened the door for several things to happen!  
 
BB and CG should consider making this young man an honorary member of your roster this year…at the very least, cut off a small piece of each of your team trophies and mail them to Dekalb HS.

Refs are lameasses 

awesome re-cap, maligned!
 

Sounds like the Evansville folk can drive to Fremont for a state finals. 🤣

GOOD THING PEOPLE WERE PICKING FORT WAYNE WHEN TALKING 4S OVER 1S!!!!

Fewest people I have seen at a State Finals. Makes sense when you move it  to the farthest south west point in the state. IHSAA is actively trying kill off wrestling.                                       Only good thing is the wrestling. 

Hartleroad!!! WOW!!

Fort Wayne 4s!!!!!!

You have to wrestle the entire 60 seconds of overtime!

Thank you to everyone who has reached out regarding Preston.  Results of a CT scan and other tests have come back.  Nothing is broken and he will make a full recovery.  
 
As far as what happened, the Mater Dei wrestler had been winning the entire match.  An illegal slam was called.  It was not intentional.  Whether it was an illegal slam or not, I don’t really care.  We were never taking a dive.  Brownsburg doesn’t roll like that.  It goes against everything we believe in.  If I thought it was intentional, It would be a different story.  There is no doubt in our mind that it was just a result of two dudes trying to punch their ticket to state. 
 
It was pretty chaotic as all of this was happening as I’m sure you can all imagine.  Given that it was a neck/head injury, I wanted to give medical people access to Preston.  Once they had time to check Preston out, I took that opportunity to talk to Preston.  There was never any talk or consideration of taking a dive. Preston would never do that.  He was in a lot of pain and upset.  He has had a lot of adversity this season. He tore his ACL at IHPO and has been working through that pain and frustration all season.  I just explained to Preston what had happened and that I was going to forfeit the match.  I told him we were losing…and it would not be fair to take the trip to state away from the Mater Dei kid.  Preston agreed and said he would never do that.  There was no reversal of the call or anything.  I just went up to officials and said we are forfeiting the match.  
 
Whoever said Preston was walking around saw someone else.  He was taken out on a stretcher and to the emergency room.

Takedown, or fleeing. Either way, the match is over.

This is true, and that is what stopped the match.

Yes of course wrestling is difficult!
 
I’m just saying that a lot of times it’s better to just make it seem like you’re wrestling than supermanning out of bounds or running backwards.
