Sig40

6 for Penn. 8 for CP. 

I knew 113, 160, and HWT were swing matches, unfortunately we lost all 3. I was really hoping we could rely on the big dogs to get falls, but they both got TF’s instead. Oh well I guess we will see them at team state... oh wait we didn’t accept the bid again.

Sig40 this a tough cut for him?  Good luck this weekend!  Should be some good wrestling this weekend

Not at all. Jesse had to work pretty hard to put weight on for WNO, so he wasn’t giving too much weight up to Vandervere. 61 kilos would have been a perfect weight with the original 2 day weigh ins setup. But with the plus 2 kilos and day before weigh in 59 works out pretty good. 
 

Jesse is pretty excited to test himself against all the established college guys.

Awesome. Perry Meridian is not disappointed.

That quad will be awesome.  Some of my favorite wrestling parents to hangout with as well.

Yea it doesn’t help when Portage keeps jumping the gun for the rest of DAC teams. Sports are still a go. Our entire team was on E-learning anyways. #goingred #gettingbluerings #someonehastohashtag

I didn’t need this 

I received several text messages asking about CP and Portage canceling winter sports. So I am just trying to shut down the negative energy. I hate all the people who fall victims to the fear. 
 

Portage did go to E-learning until Thanksgiving and they have been consistent in over reacting to covid. Their school colors are red like ours, but they seem to be more blue during the pandemic.

Just spare some time to practice your bag skills

I’ll set 10 minutes to the side. I don’t need much if any. 
 

Monica Monica Monica purchased me my own set for my b-day. Mendez family will have 1 member in all 3 top teams. 

Also our Holiday tournament is now a quad with Perry, Center Grove, and Warren Central. Making the best of a bad situation. 

Sorry to disappoint, but Crown Point will be wrestling this season. #bluerings

@Sig40 you have any inklings of any Illinois studs moving in? You’d probably most likely to know. 

I have heard of a few.  Its just such a big decision to make with so much uncertainty.  My guess is there will be several last minute transfers.

Illinois just moved wrestling to April 19-June 26th.

 

I wonder if anyone will try to pull off two titles in the same year and wrestle in Indiana and Illinois.

I was wondering the same thing.

Will teams be allowed to leave the state to compete? I know some of the top teams go to Brecksville. 
 

Btw... Brecksville  is on the schedule for teams like Avon this year. If anyone has ever been there... it’s packed! With Ohio’s leadership... how will that work? 

Brecksville is happening, but they are not letting outside states in.  Hopefully someone puts together a Holiday tournament that most of the Al Smith teams can join in.

I know there are a lot of people wondering what is happening with tournaments and holiday tournaments around the state.

I just got a call from our AD who spoke with our superintendent and head of HR; they do not see the St. Joseph County Health Dept. approving such an event with where case numbers currently are in our area. That is the position we are in, but I will provide updates.

Maybe Crown Point can host it this year.

Koontz, Heath, and alstott with wins in 138 bracket. 
 

estrada drops to consolation and Goodwin gets another win. Cody will have Alek Martin(flo favorite) in championship side. 

Heath and Koontz pick up wins in consolation. Koontz with a quick pin after a tough match against the #1 seed. 

Watson with great defense and a tough ride fir the win. Anderson getting the job done as well. Cruz with a major decision. 

Estrada and Goodwin with another come back win. Estrada with strong rides and Goodwin with some nasty cradles. #cpstrong

Estrada with a huge win over Ragland who has been ranked in the past. Goodwin with a pin as well. 

When is the magazine dropping?  I feel like it is normally the 2nd week of October or right after Super32.

Sig40, Jesse going to Super32 this year? I know a lot of kids that wrestle who's number #1 don't.  Fun to watch that kid wrestle. His pace is ridiculous. 

No, Jesse decided to go out for the cross country team late.  CP has a great team and I anticipate them running every Saturday in October. 
 

Crown Point will have about half their roster at Super32 this year. Excited to watch them wrestle.

123:

Miller lost to Larkin who was later pinned by Schoeff.  Schoeff beat Frazier 2-0 and finished as the runner up.

IL freshman state champ Lemley is staying home his year and wrestling for Chesterton, instantly making them a title contender.  Lemley had a great tournament beating Lowery, Hooper, and Schoeff.

Just now, Thor said:

So we’d be looking at second semester transfers then, or is it too late to transfer and still compete this season?

Not sure what hoops they would have to jump through, but if they move I am sure its possible.
