There should definitely be wrestle backs and true second. I for one wouldn't mind the extra time or extra money for a more expensive ticket. It is hard for some of these kids like Kemper, James, Koontz, Bailey, and B. Lee (at SS) to watch a wrestler they have beaten multiple times step up higher on the podium simply because of a bad draw or one bad match (or injury). No discredit to the other guys who placed ahead of them, but it was very obvious in some of the placings at SS and State that wrestle backs and true second matches should have taken place. It is very heartbreaking for kids who know and have proven they are better than kids placing before them, to watch matches they should be participating in for a place. I also think the brackets should not have the two and sometimes three best kids on the same side of the bracket.

Will this ever change? Wrestle backs, true second, and brackets not just being drawn (putting best two kids on the same side of the bracket)

What time do the doors open! I'm so excited! Whoohoo!

152 - Dunn vs. Swank (these might be the #3 & #4 wrestling to just place) This is a crappy draw.

Just a few kids whose dream of getting to wrestle in the finals might be screwed due to bad brackets.

126 Molloy/Red - same side of bracket

138 Lee/James - same side of bracket

152 Kemper/ Forte - same side of bracket

160 Koontz/James - same side of bracket

I'm not from this area and would love to see a great write up for this regional!

Conner Willis didn't participate in Sectionals. I don't think it is injury.

Personal opinion, but it appeared to me that J. Lee was mostly in control of the Todrank match. I am a fan of Todrank, but I was disappointed he didn't take the podium after the match. Not sure what happened, but he missed the medal ceremony. I hope it was an accident.

I thought the Dibeck/Luigs match was one of the best of the day!

Dixon over Wargel 138 @ Castle Sectionals (semi-finals)

J. Lee over Todrank 138 @ Evansville Central Sectionals

Dilbeck over Luigs 113 @ Evansville Central Sectionals

Anslinger over Lytle 195 @ Evansville Central Sectionals

Carson Willis (freshman) wrestles 113, and he is listed at 126. His brother, Conner (sophomore), wrestles at 126.

Sorry to hear about the injury. I hope he is 100% soon! I'm looking forward to seeing him wrestle at state!

Info about this tournament?...teams, start time, etc.?

Connor Willis (126) was seeded at #1 in the Mooresville Tournament and will not place in the top 8. His younger brother, Carson (113), was seeded at #5 and was also put out early. I had high expectations regarding both of these boys and was unimpressed with what seemed like their lack of conditioning. They both appeared to be in control of the matches they lost until the last 2.5 minutes. However, they are both young and will hopefully continue to grow and learn. I'm hoping they pull it together before Sectionals/Regionals.

Does anyone know what time this starts on the 30th and about what time this is over on the 31st? I don't see any times listed on TrackWrestling. Thanks!

Isaiah Kemper is having a great football season as the runningback for the Evansville Central Bears.
