I've had to use the Nelson cradle on Mrs 3B a time or 2!

I heard that Mrs. 3B was the one running the cradle!

Hope you have my size!

Place top 8 from criteria, then take remaining 6-8 by criteria/write ins from each class and have a tournament to decide. I'll have to check with the powers to be but I'm sure we could host! Problem solved!

You wore one and he didn't ask....

Weak....no breaks for champs!

Sounds like a scary dude....as scary as a sloth!

I know one of them brats!

Same story different issue....people try to do things to provide something that's missing, make new events & opportunities, or improve the sport only to have people criticize, complain, or cry unfair! I  say go start your own thing, get involved, or shut up!

I love it......I would say that I think there is to many weight classes. Just thinking of time involved of programing and length of event (mostly TV). I would also take it to an odd number of weight classes making easier tie breaker criteria. I don't see the need in having wrestlers going to college to qualify. Some kids are just not good in school or fail out. Not giving them a chance to make a team could cause wrestling to lose quality wrestlers. I also don't see the need for the weight qualifying restrictions. The only reason they are in high school and college is to protect the organizations.

Otherwise, I think a lot of the top 20 college teams have a great or at least a good start to being able to create a pro-team and could help off set some or all of their team cost. I also think that it wouldn't be unrealistic to see some of the UFC/MMA gyms to sponsor teams to bring in better practice partners for their superstars.  It is really not that unrealistic of a situation because of the creation of club programs that some of these better colleges are building.  I think like you said that Folkstyle would have to be the option, even though I think it would be more beneficial if it was Freestyle for world competitions.

All freshman and sophomores except Chase Wilson. Plus Timberman had a questionable call that almost put him in the finals, but finished 5th. Ripple torn his knee in the semi-final match for 3/4 (he was winning with seconds to go) and had to MFF and ended up taking 6th.

Sick part is that Brooks could have made 106 the last 2 years he wrestled in high school.

I'm not going to guess which one would win, but will say I remember sitting on the bottom of the stands at Merrillville Semi-State when Robinson walked by me.  I honestly think I peed myself a little bit. That man somehow fit into a 220 body!

Maybe some focus on college coaches and the teams. Drawing attention to Indiana colleges in an effort to keep more of our kids in state! Maybe some live specials with head or assistant coaches. Talking about their expectations, team goals, and other relevant information.

It’s been an honor to coach him, along with his fellow senior teammates in Mills, Mulkey, and Walton. I’ve learned tons from the fab 4 and can’t wait to see what they accomplish in college! They changed the atmosphere at Brownsburg for the sport of wrestling and while it will be sad to walk into the wrestling room without them the mark they made will last for years to come.

It's even more amazing how well those kids turned out, despite the coaching staff......Kyle has never been right ever since the summer he spent with you guys in Florida.  All he talks about is being a better person and winning now!

Nick what did you say to watch instead of Vision quest? And come on can't hate on Vision Quest!

He's not going to get many dates, making comments like that!

You just need to eat it off his chiseled abs!

Blocking weights for JV meets would be a better idea than using weight classes. This would get kids more matches, reduce byes, and improve tournament flow.

Mappes takes it all !

That's a tough 3 matches just to get to the finals. Reed, then probably Lemley, and then probably Eiteljorge. He definitely deserves it if he can get through all of them.

Hicks over South is my upset pick of Friday night!

Two Wabash wrestlers making the Most dominate wrestler in DIII for week 4!

From what I hear he didn't use his eligibility this year. He has an option of competing next year if he chooses.

This is a very young and exciting group of wrestlers. They have 42 of 44 kids that are eligible to return next year (all but one starter). Also, 32 of the 44 still have 2 years left (This include 6 kids that look to be this years regional wrestlers IMO).

Great place for our local Indiana wrestlers to go after high school, if they have the grades and want to put in the work (in and out of the classroom)!

Along the way they have had other HM kids: Nier @ 125, Everson @ 141, Bates @ 184, Guzier @ 125, Schermer @ 141, and Shaffer @ 197 (transferred to Indiana Tech). This should be an interesting and fun run through Regionals and Nationals. Definitely a very young and talented team!

Any senior in high school with good grades that hasn't consider Wabash should give it a second look! They will be missing out on being on a wonderful team!  This is a talented and very diverse group of young men! The cool part is that 42 of the 44 wrestlers are eligible to be on next years team.
