Then you don't want to see it. Hurts large schools, yeah, logically sound. I mean keep it the way it is, it's doing so well. The system is failing and needs change.
True. But if the 106 numbers are low, they aren't going to be many to bump to 113. Same for 113 to 120. 126 up have fewer fft's then 182-285 for 2015 unless I am reading it wrong.
Interesting and seems to indicate lower participation. Always wonder why most don't mention the upper weight forfeits as much. I mean you can't bump up to 106. Many of the upper weights are filled by moving up and I am all for more opportunities to wrestle. I just think it's a factor to take into consideration.
Unfortunately, the Wigwam isn't in good enough condition to host this or much of anything now. It hasn't been maintained very well if at all for years. Not sure it would be big enough anyway. USAW Central Regionals was hosted there once, I think in 2003 and had to put mats in the balcony end opposite the stage.
Thoughts? Glad it's not me trying to do it. Always tough and maybe just me, but this year seems very challenging. I was patiently waiting after Y2's teaser tweet last night :-). Thanks for the update and all the time and effort!
Say what you want, your logic of saying more ranked wrestlers makes a better team in a dual format is flawed. It's how teams match up and if rankings won matches, we wouldn't need to wrestle. How many times have there been upsets at team state that impacted the winner? Nearly every year. Like i said, the seedlings appeared to have been very accurate and well, nuff said. I do agree that there will likely be more Brownsburg kids ranked or at least on the watch list if not already.
Let's be honest, we would all love to see your correct individual rankings. Remember, this is a TEAM event and well, match-ups win not individual rankings. I think the seeds demonstrated Brownsburg was a top team, some didn't believe so until today.
Congrats to all 3 championship teams!
Thanks for posting this info. Looks like a great day of wrestling! So glad the sport has this event and know there are many, many programs hoping and working to earn an invite.
Thanks. The 138 finals match between Flood and Klettheimer was worth the pice of admission alone. 4-3, late takedown by Flood and near escape by Klettheimer as time expired, close and competitive match.
Will never understand why some coaches would not allow a change to a bracket with only 3 wrestlers in it. Why not add one to 182 and get a few more matches for the wrestlers? I have an idea, but how is that good for the sport?
Really, then how did a 106 wrestle for Lawerence North as a freshman, Pendleton Heights as a sophomore and Hamilton Heights as a junior? What about many other transfers where eligibility is not lost? Because schools sign the release or is it inconsistency? Doesn't sound like the rules could be known. If a family has a job change or any other life change where getting the student to and from school is no longer possible, for example, that student should not be eligible to play sports? Even at the school district where they live and now attend? I doubt most coaches are in favor of inconsistently applied "rules" or the current disconnect between DoE and IHSAA on these issues.
Yes there is much more to the story. Those who follow wrestling in central and east central Indiana know the history. I always thought there were three sides to a story, yours, theirs, and the right one.
Question is why Yorktown wouldn't sign off for a kid going to the school district he always lived in? Especially considering all the transfers and "move ins" Yorktown has had over the years. And yes, I realize it's a rhetorical question.
I don't see how this helps anybody, situation or the sport and too bad the IHSAA can't see that. Course nothing should surprise me after seeing them come out of the stands several years ago at the NC semi-state and overrule the referees.
How'd you like to be an excited JV wrestler only to see them next in your bracket? (Assuming they are eligible at all).
Upon further review, apparently Berkibile has NO eligibility!!! This is not right and I am stunned...
