  1. Is this through the State series or just by the draw at the Semi-State level?
  2. Holly Molly! I didn't even get a chance to get home and eat. Fantastic!
  3. Andy, I agree with you, particularly, in theory, but there too many incentives and workarounds. Any good wrestler whether kid, coach, or parent has two things in abundance: competitiveness and wherewithal. What is the disincentive for a wrestler (or coach/parent) who is able to successfully cut that kind of weight even though they shouldn't? What if they can make State versus struggle to place at Semi-State in higher weight? They all know who their competitors are, what they weigh, and what they are up against. And, if they don't there is always someone or even this site or Track to inform them. We all know tons of great kids that are cutting way too much weight. Don't we? And, I suspect we also know they are more successful at that lighter weight. They get recognitive from everywhere including the forums and the rankings. Yep, they'd be successful at a higher weight, maybe even two, but probably not 'as' successful. That's a hard ask of any kid, coach, or parent. I'm, absolutely, not saying it's the right thing, but I understand the motivation and the difficulty of the problem.
  4. Ha! My son, starting at 87 lbs, spent 3 years battling kids anywhere from 5 to 25 (no exaggeration) lbs heavier. Until 'everyone' enforces it (whatever 'it' is), you will always have it. Beyond that, their success and recognition encourages them. Why wouldn't they do it? My son is right sized now, and he has to cut a couple pounds each week, but it's not is terribly difficult. Is that okay or should he jump up and wrestle against kids that are naturally 10 lbs heavier? (That said, it's a bit late). Just to be clear, I'm serious about the first paragraph and somewhat less about the second.
  5. Hey, hey, hey let's keep her away from kids at New Castle
  6. He'll get one (probably many times). And, I'm sure it'll be another barn burner. Like Johns and Ocampo, I knew the first was going to be good one. Tanner is very good. Good luck through the series.
  7. I think the question isn't so much, making State, it's placing at State. What are those odds?
  8. Ha! Your son's not damn bad either. That's a couple of young and pretty good drill partners. Do you have that Tishner match on FB too
  9. Yeah. I watched the scoring on Track (you make do). Not much distance between the two, and I think Johns is underrated. As soon as the dark horse thread appears, he'll be on my list. She can't be a dark horse because everyone already knows about her (or they'd better).
  10. I would guess her main competition is May, Johns, and Bollinger at SS. She's a threat to any 106.
  11. Maria Rescalvo #4 Elkhart There are quite a few, and I wouldn't bet against one or two of them getting through.
  12. A few others: Heather Crull #1 Shenandoah Catie Campbell #1 Crawfordsville K`yla Johnson #2 Southport Torie Buchanan #2 Bloomington North Makenize Smith #2 Castle
  13. What's the story with the Mooresville 106 Regional qualifiers? It's easy enough to fill in, but is there more to it than a hiccup?
  14. Yep, like many major upsets, those downstream take the brunt.
  15. Which team in that sectional is 'like' Prairie Heights?
  16. I get there is specific criteria, but Brooks is clearly not a 6 seed.
  17. @ontherise219 Mike could you refresh us all with what stage this is?
  18. I'm assuming you expect Buchanan and Watson win, but who is your third Center Grove champ? Johnson, Merritt?
  19. I've spent the day speculating, but I'd bet that might change next year?
