    This is a gray area that has been "allowed" in sports the ihsaa considers to be individual sports. Technically a school can only field 1 varsity team to participate in a sport. You don't see this allowed in basketball for example. There are good and bad points to allowing this and in my opinion it's up to the event host and participating teams.

    Yes, thanks for all the work on these! I really enjoy reading the updates and adds a lot to the season. At the Madison County Tournament last Saturday, Dakota Cole from Elwood wrestled at and won 126. He beat Tyler Flood of Pendleton on a late 3rd period take down in an exciting 5-3 match.

    Elwood High School according to the schedule and news paper.

    I would take Maryland over IU if they wrestled.

    Wow, 1000's of coaches, I guess the sport has grown more than reported. But since most states are classed, you may be right about them not knowing about classless systems. Funny thing, I have had several conversations with college coaches and they all said the same thing, why not class, class one sport class them all and they attend other state tournaments because they see more kids. Oh, and in many ways academics is classed but that's another topic. Maybe the mirror will break...

    Stop drawing logically unsound conclusions. i didn't directly compare them, it was in response to earlier posts that basketball was ruined when classed. Funny thing is that most of the student-athletes and smaller schools don't think that at all. Obviously, the IHSAA considers wrestling an individual sport which is why it isn't classed.

    My understanding is that the purpose of student-athletics is to teach life skills such as work ethic, discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship and goal setting... The main goal wasn't to determine the best wrestler in the state (although it's a great byproduct). The development of well rounded individuals was the goal. Key to that would be participation. I wrestled for a large school and my sons for a smaller school, there is no comparison. Workout partners, facilities and even numbers help with fund raising. I once read something to the effect of "One of the biggest obstacles facing wrestling and it's growth is staring back at us in the mirror". Unfortunately, I tend to agree. I still hear about a local 1A school that won state years ago in basketball, doesn't seem to bother them. Basketball was already losing attendance before it was classed. If you talk to most smaller schools, they aren't disappointed years later.

    Some nice pics! Thanks for the link.

    Skyler Lykins - Franklin Community. Congrats!

    I appreciate any video, but this isn't as good as the past few years. Quality not as good when it does work.

    Blood time is well, what it is. Looked to me like the ref signaled blood time about the time the cradle happened. Tough for sure. I would like to see blood time revisited, but, doubt it will. Cottey, wasn't in the best angle but thought his headlock call was if'y. Thought the late takedown call was correct, kid was behind with leg hooked. Cottey had whizzer but didnt look effective. Another tough one especially first round. One of those hate to see a loser things.

    Not that original but... Cody "lights out" LeCount or Cody "count the lights" LeCount.

    MSA or BLF?

    RAJR replied to TripleB's topic in Past Discussions

    MSA all the way!

    Eppert vs Wright 3 is worth a mention.
  18. RAJR
    Nice job! Thanks, can't imagine not having all these previews now. Spoiled for sure...
  19. RAJR
    Looks like they are up on track wrestling now...
  20. RAJR
    It has a better chance to live up to the hype than the person in your hater pic. Take that to the bank!

    Don't recall a tech fall in the early 80's, no mercy. . Not sure when TF was started.
  22. RAJR
    Thanks for the time and effort on these rankings. Not a big deal, at 106, Allen is from Frankton.
  23. RAJR
    They weren't in the same sectional. Same regional though...
  24. RAJR
    Congrats, appreciate all you have done for the sport.

    A little surprised, but seems like AD's look for reasons to cancel vs having. Realize wind and drifting and concern for safety, but around 2 inches was low end of forecast. Heck, might as well have just canceled yesterday. . Today may end up better than next week and with all the basketball games being re-scheduled, kind of doubt it happens. Thought Elwood had a game scheduled Monday night. Guess we will see.
