Don't forget to choose your wildcard. The guy you designate gets 5 bonus points if he outperforms his seed. As a 13, Blockhus gets it if he arrives at the blood round (Round of 12). But you have to designate the guy you're most confident in.

stink! didn't log come back in time

125- Ramos (4)

133- Ragusin (5)

141-woods (3)

149- Gomez (6)

Congrats to the Wayne. I'm a Region guy, but I have to give props where it is due. As for Da Region, sometimes you"re the windshield sometimes you're the bug.

Completely irrelevant question. Why do they call it semistate when there are four of them? That makes two states in total. Who gets the second title?

 

IHSAA has a lot to answer for.

 

Do you know what would fix all of these problems? You know ...

 one of the two competitions in the next to the last round of an elimination tournament

yep

Will the parade of Champions be broadcast with the streaming purchase?

I'm sorry I don't know all the past coaches names, but growing up in the Region, Wrestling in the Region & Coaching in the Region and my dad being a member of the first city champ team I have always admired the passion of the Gary West Side coaches. : Kylan Taylor, Eugene Johnson and the ones before them.

because I'm lazy and people on here are way better than me. What conference has the most going to State?

But the Tamales!

This has been going on in the region for 25+ years.  The younger brother goes to different school from big brother, while the third brother goes to yet another school.  It just makes sense.  Barring any academic difference, why would a sentient parent send a kid to a school where his shot of excellence is diminished?

 

Brownsburg and Center Grove are strong on academics, have great communities and...wait for it...top-notch wrestling programs.  What's not to like?  if you have a kid who has a chance at reaching for the golden ring, you have to justify NOT sending them there.

 

It's a bit tougher in Evansville.  if you want excellence you pay a price for it, beyond the blood and sweat.  It's called tuition.  In spite of what you might hear, a Catholic school "athletic scholarship" exists only in imaginations.  It's kind of like the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus or "The Man";  fun to think about or to justify outcomes, but it doesn't really exist.

 

While Center Grove, Crown Point and Brownsburg have specific and identifiable advantages, they do not enjoy a permanent hegemony.  All three programs have high level wrestling academies to feed their schools, which are led by superior coaching staffs.  All it takes is a single coaching turnover and your incoming middle school champion is off to greener pastures.

 

What do the Big Three have in common?  Large populaton bases with affluent communties is the first ingredient; next-level wrestling academies is the second.  

 

Where else could this exist?

 

1.  North Indianapolis/Carmel/ Zionsville-  Big population, affluence, big schools.  Wrestling academy, communities?

2.  Jeffersonville/New Albany-  Big population (Louisville metro is massive; quality wreslers exist).  Affluence, community, academies--not sure.

3.  Fort Wayne-  Big population, check.  Affluence, community, academies, quality high school coaching staffs--not sure.

can you please give examples of this happening the  region for 25+  years. 

I believe it was portage not CP

Just wondering which conference people think will have the most  at  state.. 

Congrats 

Just  wondering when was the last time that LC won?

inquiring minds want to know.

I know this is not a regional upset but in 1999 Josh Birge, returning state champ at 112 got beat in the ticket round at semi-state by Andrew Bradbury by 1 point.

one of the best matches 

This is not a cliche, but it still makes me laugh. While coachig middle school and a new wrestler who had a problem with reaching back while on bottom. After they went out of bounds before they made it back to the line  I here the coach say " If I see your armpit one more time while you are on bottom you are ridding home with your mom"

When cutting someone " Don't be nice"

I call and I raise you both the entirety of this match.  

 

 

 

I will never forget this match. My friends and I were just talking about it this weekend

cangrats, not an easy thing to do as we all know.

I was only a volunteer coach when I did help out. My wife would ask why I was willing to not only get to the room every day, but why I would get up at 4am every saturday for months. I would just shrug my shoulders and show her a video of one of the kids face with their hand raised.

I was there when Cael Sanderson won his 4th NCAA Championship. 

Portage had a good when they beat MD in the first round then lost a close one to LN in the second. I believe they won the coaches trophy at the individual tourney.
