Wait. Is Joe Lee going 145 for the state series?
 
 

Your going to have to wait till 2019 to announce that.

As a point of clarification, Bealmear wrestled up a weight class against Hobart that day.  Triana pinned another of Castle's 120lbers.

Guys it's time for me to step back. Between my job, my family, traveling more w little B and his wrestling adventures, and coaching Madison's youth wreslting I can no longer keep up with the Evansville Semi State rankings.
 
I've tried to hold on for selfish reasons. Joe and I started SS rankings years ago for fun. Others jumped on and now I believe our rankings are top notch. It's my baby, I love it. But Im not doing the south justice anymore.
 
I've made so many great friends all over the state that's it been unreal. I've had people approach me at wrestling tournies, it's really really been a blast!
 
Some thanks in my way out:
 
Joe Caprino - we haven't always seen eye to eye (I'm pretty sure I'm the only board admin to be suspended!) but our passion and love for the sport has made us friends. I talk to him almost everyday. Joe thanks for letting me rep the Dirty South and letting be apart of the #800lbGorilla.
 
Mrs. TripleB: She had no clue what she was getting into with me and wreslting when she said yes. But she's always worked around it. If there's a hangout and I need a room for some quiet, she made sure my heathens steared clear. If I needed to go to some random wrestling tourney that Madison wasn't even wrestling in, she rarely put up a fight. I love her!
 
All the Eville supporters - you all were the keys to accurate rankings. I had guys in each regional always keeping me up on the happenings. 10 years ago there was teams you could never find info on, now I feel I've made connections to get all the info.
 
Mike Reiser, Nick Weisjahn: Man I love you guys, thanks for all your help and information. Hangouts were always a blast!
 
Everybody, it's been real. I've suckered Nick into finishing the year. And I got a guy lined up to takeover in the fall. Maybe Y2 can find me something else to do w IndianaMat. Maybe I can still do my Eville SS Preview Spectacular!
 
IndianaMat, Stay Classy My Friends!

Looked like Lee was controlled this time and it's probably because he knows Bethel can capitalize on any of the slightest off balanced movement due to being over zealous.

My take on this tourney's finals:
 
Ignore the final team scores.  Too many wrestlers hurt, sick, or close weight wise from Team State three days earlier:
 
106: Baby face Bailey (no harm intended). Impressive.
113: Was that Curtis or Garcia who won the finals?
120: Wowendzak should be his name.
126: News flash: Slivka is good on top.
132: Bailey does not suck.  At all.
138: Neither does Melloh.
145: Hard-Lee worth watching.
152: Another Hiestand?  Great (insert sarcasm here).
160: Laughlin my way to the bank.
170: Deep weight class. Don't put "two" much "Stock" in Monrovia (twin brothers - FYI)
182: Both Walton and Gray are GOOD.
195: Ben Stewart.  Remember that name
220: Scroggs for life.
285: Rickie Clark bested this field of four+ possible state placers.
 
Skywalker out.

Ranked #12 pound for pound middle schooler and #2 in his weight class. Kids got talent.

It was my first state duals... loved it. Wouldn't expect less from the people in charge (majority of workers were from the iswa). Even if you dislike some of the policies at the iswa, you can't deny the fact that these people do give so much to the kids. So.. greatful for them. Thank you to the seeding committee. Thank you to Joe and the Indiana mat staff for all of their hard work. Thank you to the coaches association for all that they did. Thanks to the refs. Congrats to all of the champs. Congrats to Perry on their victory against our team. Look forward to bringing the #NotSoYoungGunz back next year to make another run.

If the Moran brothers wrestle today, I would think Portage is the favorite .

You guys Haven't seen a lot of wrestling from him, but Zack Fattore is a monster on top as well. 

Even 125? 

Great job.

* Joe Lee will be going 152.

Union County is good:

You obviously like things in pairs, purdue02.
 
Why not add Rooks & Rooks?
 

ehh fixed is not the right word....

seriously ?????
this thread is totally ridiculous.
 
I would say that I expect better from most of you but I have been reading posts from most of you for the past 3 or so years and have come to expect the stupidity that some of you have posted.....I know the lady very well that has put this magazine together for the past several years and she would NEVER (and I can't underline or bold that word enough) leave anyone out on purpose. 
 
Look back at the numerous threads on this forum about posting results in error and mistakes made on the rankings submitted..................hey guess what, sometimes people (really nice people working for free) make honest mistakes.  Get over it and move on.  You all have great kids and they have accomplished great things so just be proud of those and know that everyone else knows what they have accomplished no matter if it accidentally gets left out of the ISWA book. 
 
If you are looking for someone to pick on then move on to Joe for not coming down to #TheCounty to view the greatest dual with expert coaching moves that brought the score to favor the #Dogs........that's the real criminal in this whole thing !!!!

Can't say I didn't warn IndianaMat or Indiana HS Wrestling what was about to happen.

#NewEraHasArrived and...... it's not going anywhere anytime soon ! So..... embrace it, enjoy the show.

Hobart has some impressive individuals.   Long trip to make to find out what we down south know every year.   Tough Wrestling down here too!
 
Castle and Mater Dei was a Barn Burner of a dual!   A couple of shockers to start off with, but the Knights stayed with the Wildcats. 

Annakin CA and Wilderman MD did not wrestle yesterday.  Both nursing injuries.
Dickens MD beat Triana Hobart at 120.
Bealmear CA beat Dickens MD at 120.
Bealmear CA wrestled up so did not face Triana of Hobart at 120.
