We will be looking to do an area code wars in 2025. Just working on getting a date and getting things setup for it.
 
Kids can only compete for the team with their school's area code.
 
Here is the topic discussing it
 

Against the integrity of the rule and the sport, in my humble opinion.  Being tired is not an injury and it takes away the advantage of the wrestler who has put in the work to keep up the pace for the entire match.  I understand this is taking advantage of the way the rule is written, however if you believe it should include getting out of a not so favorable situation or taking a breather because you’re tired, we have a different definition of what an “injury” is.  

Not sure I want to go back to GA. Ticketmaster, you have 1 job, come on, figure it out. The school allotment idea seems good as long as AD's agree to do it. Once again I am reminded how different Wrestling is to the other sports which adds some complexity that needs addressed. 
 
One thing I do know, no way would I want to be security with GA. Don't think you could pay me enough to do it. You are either playing favorites, a jerk, too strict, too leninant or some combination of all the above. Been there done that...

People can look at it as CP blew it, but why not look at it as the state of Indiana is strong as a whole. The talent levels over the past decade has exploded in our state, and we are seeing it in the national and college level as well.

Aged like a can of NattyLight left in he sun all day in the middle of July.
 
 

all small crowds and little to no revenue...
 

Yep, IHSAA loves Indy and moves if needed.  Basketball is being pushed a week due to NCAA tournamnet games this year.
 
A few clarifications, Track & Field is Bloomington. Cross Country is Terre Haute. Softball is West Lafayette. Volleyball and Gymnastics are in Muncie.

I knew something involving running was in Bloomington. 😅
 
Have only lived in Indiana since 2017 so still learning. Thank you!

Watching this Iowa vs Wisc dual and Rathjen takes injury time as he’s getting taken down.  Official gives the injury time, Rathjen continues after a short break and doesn’t give the 3 pt td.
 
Reminds me of one of my biggest issues watching wrestling this weekend.  Coaches allowing their kids to take a time out when the going gets tough.  Weak.  One of the countless things that separates wrestling from the stupid sports like basketball, no timeouts when it’s getting real, you have to deal with it.  
 
Dissapointing the programs that are ok with taking a breather for that mental break when adversity has set in.

Ticketmaster and the IHSAA are two totally separate entities. When the IHSAA chooses to use venues like the Ford Center, Gainbridge, and the Memorial Coliseum(Fort Wayne) they are beholden to Ticketmaster. The only way to get around TicketMaster is to physically go to the box office. That is what they did at the coliseum and what I do at IHPO. 
 
Unfortunately Ticketmaster is the scum of the world and will continue to screw the people for their "convenience" fees.

a friend of mine let me watch the ppv through their account, so thank you all for the help!

NM, sorry! Didn't look close enough. Finals aren't listed...  Maybe try going to the brackets on track and then clicking the green tirangle thing. That's how i did it in the past but no longer subscribe to Flo.  Hopefully that works, if not, i don't know:
 

Always use a condiment!

For all of you guys keeping receipts on what I am guessing is a kid who is shaking up the board.
Do you think Crown Points coaches are going to keep these receipts and comments for if/when they are back on top. 
 
Coach Hawkins sent me a text this morning asking us to Ban @DawgPoundRed I’ll talk to Joe about it but I am not for censorship unless it’s something really offensive and not someone bragging on their squad 
 
everyone is celebrating CP failure and trying to minimize Brownsburg success. Cp didn’t lose a title The burg took that thing with 2 studs working on 4 titles, and if the rumor mill is correct they are adding another one 
 
real question 
how many people who are all worked up would take CP state finals this year(9 medals, a champ, a runner up, 12 qualifiers) for Their programs next 5 years? 
 
As a proud Calumet Alumni I would take that. 
 
we will announce on the state recap show what we decided 

I got a bit frustrated with some of the live streaming issues.  That said, I feel very fortunate that they offer it at all.  Couldn’t travel this weekend due to other commitments, but we had our own party of sorts at my house.  It was a grand time for us.  Not the same as being there live, but it was still great … and a lot cheaper.

I'm sure that the location had something to do with it, but I'm pretty confident that the ticketmaster fiasco was the biggest factor.
 
How is it that a company that only handles ticket sales, can't properly handle an event of 11,000?
 
Completely inexcusable!

Agree 100%! It's the absolute pinnacle of Indiana wrestling. If he's not puting his opponent down, flipping the bird, or doing anything obscene then let the kid have a moment. We all love a good back flip, if they made it this far you know darn well they worked for it.

They came right out and said it at the coaches meeting in Fort Wayne in November. Anything that looks pre planned gets hit, and I back flips would be pre planned. Which is still freaking lame. There’s nothing unsportsmanlike about doing a little extra celebrating in the greatest moment of these kid’s careers as long as it’s not directed at the other kid or coaches. 

From a distance, seemed like Evansville embraced the State Finals and did a nice job! Maybe some tips for future State Finals? Don't recall shuttles or food trucks in the past. Do recall being asked what's going on? We weren't staffed for this. Thanks to all tnvolved, especially the wrestlers laying it down on the mat!

And also, if you ever get a poorly-cooked meal, put on your chef apron and hat and save the restaurant. Not happy with your haircut? Grab some shears and take over for the stylist. You think a movie was awfully-written? Well, I guess that’s your fault for not going to film school and becoming a better writer. If you’re not a professional, always remember to just keep your mouth shut and not have any controversial thoughts.

Just an incredible race. I am sure there has never been one with 3 teams that tight.

CG impressively went 3-0 in finals & 5-0 in consol finals to snag 2nd place...

Chad Niccum was fantastic. 

If I noticed correctly there were first time school champs tonight.  That’s awsome for their programs.
