Tony McGinley

Very exciting having a legend like Angel in the room! Don’t miss the opportunity kids to learn from one of the best wrestling to walk the land. Should be a good one! Super pumped! 

Howe and the Lee’s make this a tough pick. 

Man this one was wild! Couldn’t throw the guy Gavin McGinley in there!? His creditionals were solid, maybe not impressive as some of these folks, but dang... from my possible BIASED opinion, I think he beats 9 of these fellas. Here’s my top 4:
1st: J. Tsirtsis 
2nd: A. Tsirtsis
3rd: Biddle
4th: Melloy 

They are both phenomenal wrestlers all of Indiana has been lucky to witness. Period. Lee creditials are higher outside of IN b/c Parris was a great football player. Well not b/c... I should say that’s b/c that’s the way life is... Both guys I am glad to have met & spoke to. I think both kids compete in the future for an Olympic medal. Thanks for the memories fellas!

I think there was another Lee in that weight class would've had some say in him being a 4 timer

You woke up too early this morning. You must still be super sleepy. Combest says go back to bed bud. 

South got lucky????...well,all ill say is the more he works in the room,and in the gym, the "luckier" he gets!!!..kids an absolute beast,my pick at 160!@!  GO ROCKET!!!

Here is what I think...... This past weekend matches are over and they don't matter anymore...... Next weekend is a new season..... Everyone is 0-0 and the guys that go 4-0 this upcoming weekend will be state champs!!!!!  Good luck to all wrestlers...... Have a good week of practice...... Leave everything on the mat!!!!!

Or, was I just going to bed, Tony?? And, of course Combest. The only weight where 4 of the 5 main IHSAA team competitors have major leverage winning the weight class. Should be fun.

All of them got a ton of heart and no quit in them. 

Columbus East showed up to burn the Ford Center Down! 

Whats Columbus East doing right, and what should other schools be doing to copy them?  Always a good program, but theyve elevated their game.  Congrats on good season and im wondering if theyll throw a wrench into some nationally ranked teams chance at a state championship next weekend.

I don’t know everything that they do.. but... my son wrestled with them this summer. I’ve been around wrestling for a long time. Not many teams have as much fun as these guys do. I think that is a very overlooked aspect of our sport. There is so much pressure on athletes to succeed.. sometimes they forget to have fun. Coach cooper seems to be like a big brother. Seems to be a ton of respect and love for that guy.
These kids wrestled everywhere this summer. I’m guessing that they got 100 matches! As I stated above, just a special group of young men. I’m a huge fan! 
On a personal note, I want to thank them for allowing my son to be a part of their group. They treat him as one if their own. Super proud of all of them. 

Columbus East was amazing to watch yesterday. I want to give a shout out to a name I haven't seen mentioned yet - Nick South.
I was expecting what I saw from the Rook's brothers, Combest, Schoenegge, but South was a name I was not familiar with & the kid was impressive all day.

Coach McGinley
 

Wrestling Scholar,
 
Sorry I gotta give my guy some more re credit. Bailey has already faced Mitch Moore twice. He did lose both times, but it was only 5-3 at scholastic duals, & 2-1 at Grand River Rumble. So to say it's an easy decision for Mitch & Moore's too much for Bailey, I have to beg the differ. We're right there in his ballpark to beat him. Same w/ Zack Donanthan... we lost to him this year by one, he's one rank behind Moore. Good day.
