I second what Jason said. This was my son's 1st and hopefully not last time to wrestle for Team Indiana. He expressed what a great honor it was to wear the Indiana singlet and to wrestle with kids from all across the state. He has been talking with his Team Indiana team mates all week and they are still talking about the Heartland Duals trip. He has stated many times this week that he wants Team Indiana to be in that Championship match & to battle for the National Title. It is about pride and getting Indiana to the top. Let's work together and put the best Team Indiana out there no matter what level (MS or Elementary) that the state can put on the mat. Not sure if that is 2 cents or a penny Jason!! Dave Doster

Wrestle off's!!! Best way to decide on the teams... Put the kids on the mat. That is what is so great about this sport. One on one.

Without a few weekday options, my son would have had to turn down some really good opportunities to wrestle on some weekends to make sure he got his freestyle qualifiers in. He wrestled at the Warren Central Wednesday Rumble and had 3 or 4 matches. It is tough for us being from up North and driving to Indy but we got to get them qualifiers in. See you all at Freestyle State!!

Easton had a blast wrestling with Team Indiana and kids from around the state. What a great experience and he looks forward to doing it again next year.

This happened to my son last year at a freestyle qualifier. He lost then the coach for the other kid said they made a scoring mistake and actually told the front table that my son had won. They awarded my son the win, then the dad from the other kid was showing a video his wife took. Then they took the win away and gave the other kid the win. I am with you, don't care about the win, but i was told that all ISWA events cant have any video replay to make a decision.

My son Easton is in the room with these guys all summer and there is no place better to be. Him and Ike go at it and Easton loves the workouts he gets. Great family and hope they both do well at State!!

Having the weight classes on the same mat all day was a plus also. Helps to know where you are going to be for family to set up and not having to run around trying to figure out what mat the kids wrestle on next...

Going to be a fun day of wrestling!!

Easton had a fun Saturday at the Christmas Sparty in Lansing, MI. Good event and venue. Santa even showed up with the Michigan State coach Roger Chandler. Easton got to wrestle some tough Indiana kids in the first 2 matches then a Michigan kid in the finals. Great experience at a nice venue. Easton and Landen Haines from Red Cobra Wrestling Academy
