Some of you already know that my family is headed to Columbus, IN from Seymour. We have wanted to move to Columbus for several years but now is the time. Our children are enrolled in the Bartholomew County school system now and love it. While we are still living in Seymour, we hope to move very soon. One of the hardest things to leave behind is our Seymour wrestling family. The past five years has been an absolute joy for our family. Sharing and passing on the love for the sport of wrestling in Seymour has had an impact on myself and family that will last a lifetime. I want to thank coach Todd Weaver for giving me the opportunity to help grow the program and be a part of something special. Adam Wolka is the HS assistant coach/youth director now. He will do a great job of continuing the success of the Seymour youth program. I also wanted to thank all of the Seymour coaches/volunteers that have helped me the past 5 years: Joe Penegar, Greg Musser, Matt Martin, Darin Kriete, Bill Castetter, Matt Chandler, Chad Chambers, Tony Combs, Joey Shepherd, Ben Rorick, Nathan Canaday, Ron Zike, Chad Garner, Andy Wilson, and Matt Ruddick. Our next adventure takes us to Columbus North where I will be helping develop the youth program with Justin Cooper, Anthony Meister, Joe Martinez, Andrew Douglas, Ethan Ott, Zach Metz, and Mike Anderson. If you need to contact me about wrestling please email me at cndogswrestling@gmail.com.

Thanks for hosting this camp. Our wrestlers had a great time. Thanks to the ISWA as well! -
The Evansville semi-state is going to be very tough!
-
You are right. That is who I was thinking of but got his name mixed up. That is a tough room!
-
Garrett is there too, right? That is a pretty tough room.
-
He was picked up by Tenway.

Coach, I know of a possible 74 lber. He is a 5th grader from Floyd Central. Tough kid, hard to wrestle. He's really tall, fast and strong. What is the cost to be on the team and can I pass along your number? Thanks, Justin Ratliff 812-525-7304

I just meant that some kids seem to be focusing more on Folkstyle so it may be hard to put together our best team. I think with some creative thinking an all-star team is possible. You just have to make them an offer that is hard to turn down.
-
Some of those kids may not wrestle freestyle, right?
-
I didn't think Pico looked confident before the match. The Bellator crowd is a lot different than a World Wrestling Championship crowd. Hopefully he will bounce back and adjust. I am sure he will.

A person could get the set much cheaper with a little research and work.

My wife said that they usually have anywhere from 10-20 on site registrations. Its headed in the right direction. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the tournament!

Who's the best middle school wrestlers in Indiana?
Justin Ratliff replied to Kbam78's topic in Youth Archives
I think this list is great. As we all know, polls can differ from person to person but I think a person would be hard pressed to find a more accurate poll for this age group in our state. Many of the names on the list are the ones that have been making noise in various state and out of state tournaments for several years. I think the list is a great thing. It gives another goal for MS kids to attempt to reach. I think sometimes Middle School kids get lost in the shuffle. There are now more and more events that show where kids in this age group are at compared to other states. This list is a reflection of that. -
New wrestling facilities at IU
Justin Ratliff replied to doctorWrestling's topic in Past Discussions
I think wrestling will have meets at the new facility but practice in their current room. -
Brownsburg Getting NEW Wrestling Room!- Any advice?
Justin Ratliff replied to Darrick Snyder's topic in Past Discussions
Do you have a projector and large screen? -
One of my most recent favorite wrestling moments happened at the Big Ten Championships. We were sitting right behind Vincenzo Joseph's father. After Vincenzo lost to Imar he sat down with his dad. His dad immediately asked,"How are you doing?" Vincenzo said,"I'm fine." Dad asked again,"How are you doing?" Vincenzo said,"I'm alright dad. I've got about a week and a half to figure it out. I'll figure it out." My son was sitting next to me watching this exchange. When Vincenzo pulled it off I looked at my son and said, "Do you remember that conversation Vincenzo and his dad had after losing at the Big 10's? My son said, "Yeah, that's pretty awesome."

Gavin Teasdale is headed to PSU. http://www.flowrestling.org/article/53632-gavin-teasdale-decommits-from-iowa-will-wrestle-for-penn-state#.WNI8jVUrKM8 Here is what some coaches and wrestlers are saying. http://www.flowrestling.org/article/53639-wrestling-superstars-and-leaders-react-to-teasdale-s-commitment-change

I think this could be a strong possibility. I think he has his eyes on an Olympic prize.

Who else is excited about another Red vs. Lee match up? Could it happen? What weight is Red projected to wrestle at?
-
When is an 8th grader considered an incoming freshman? The day that 8th grade is over or the first day of freshman school year?
-
Sorry to hear about this. If something like this would happen again, try going to the head table. Those are usually the people that can deal with something like that. Your son must be really good to compete so well while going up a weight.

A mighty oak has fallen. I always made sure to catch up with Tom at tournaments to talk wrestling and family. He will be greatly missed by all. He has definitely left a legacy in Indiana and beyond. Prayers for Hayden and family.
