The first annual IndianaMat MessageBoard Hall of Fame class has been announced. Since this Hall of Fame is run by crooked media members we modified the rules right before the announcement. We are inducting three people posthumously and four via the vote-in process. Don’t be surprised if we change the rules again next year. Before we get into the inductees here are some of the general guidelines we have for this honor.
1. No admins or staff
2. Can only go in under ONE name
3. Been an active member for 5 years
4. Innovative and fun
5. All in fun
 
We start the inductees with three people who left an impact on the board and have unfortunately passed away. The first one is grecoref aka Tom Clark. He came to Indiana from his native Ohio and became a full blown Hoosier. On the mat he was a very accomplished referee making his way to the state finals and also to a little tournament called the Olympics. On the board he was known to provide valuable information, sarcasm, wit, and humor. He was a friend to all and a great personality to have on the board.
 
Our second inductee is The Ancient Elder aka Dick Neal. Mr. Neal was likely the greatest Indiana wrestling historian ever. In the days of paper brackets and snail mail, he acquired everything he could possibly get his hands on to incorporate into his Indiana wrestling book. On the board he always answered the historical questions and reminded us of the best wrestlers and matches of the years gone by.
 
The last one to be inducted posthumously is Perseverance aka Eric Allred. Allred has a great story of overcoming adversity and making his life right. He was a huge fan of his son Silas and very knowledgeable about the sport and the kids Silas wrestled with. His passion for the sport and supporting others is very much missed.
 
The currently active members are characters to say the least and have had a fun and important impact on our lively messageboard. It is only fitting that MattyB and Team Garcia are inducted at the same time. Both came on the board at the same time to wreak havoc and promote #TheCounty and mainly the “young guns” of Avon. They have continued to this day due to having sons still involved in wrestling or in the case of Garcia, just loving to stir the pot.
 
The steel factory in da region kept RegionRat1 off the board for a few years, but he made a comeback this season. While he has stayed relatively anonymous he always loves to promote da region in his very unique regioneese. Most outside of da region likely believe the way he types is how they speak there, and they aren’t wrong. 
 
Last, but not least is the lightning rod they call General Heavy Handz. Of the current inductees he leads the league in most “vacations” from IndianaMat. Luckily for him, Mike talks Joe into letting him come back EVERY SINGLE TIME! He is never shy about promoting the SAC and his beloved Snider Panthers.

It is at Mooresville High School this year.  Not sure about having it streamed as of yet. 
 
$5 spectator fee.  Not bad for the quality of wrestling. 
 
 

It was the Rochester Middle School Invitational held at Rochester High School.

This guy from sports illustrated gives Indiana a lot of love….

need to crack down on some security!

Noted

Tune into Gorilla Radio tonight for the nominees!
 
We will have a special vote on here for which of the nominees are the first ballot hall of famers! Unlike the baseball HOF, we encourage steroid use and controversy! BUT, similar to the baseball HOF, it is ran by a bunch of crooked media members with an agenda.

Easton was usually 1-2 lbs.  under Thursday-Friday.  Eating 3 times a day through the week.  Pick a weight, like you said Nick, that you can concentrate on getting better at wrestling and not loosing weight.  Made the most difference in Easton's success this year.  It does take some discipline on both the wrestlers and parents, but meal prepping was also a huge part of it.  We would cook all his meat (chicken, hamburger, steak, pork chops) on Sunday or Monday for the week and he would pack it for his lunches and take to school.
So many little things go into being successful and these are just a few.  It takes time also, this has been something me as a father, his mother and Easton have been trying to dial in for a few years now.  

Nearly 20-years ago, but my father selected the weight class I wrestled in each year. I did as told.
 
Fr: Cut from 140 preseason to compete at 112 - Lost SS Ticket Round 
So: Cut from 150 preseason to compete at 125 - Lost Friday Night
Jr: Cut from 160 preseason to compete at 140 - 5th Place (Was suppose to go 130 but injured my ankle preseason and couldn't run until the Al Smith)
Sr: Cut from 180 preseason to compete at 135 - Lost Friday Night
 
My kids do not and will not cut weight.

We are getting a lot of commitment, we need our best to compete, we've split with Illinois the past two years, lets go for the sweep this year!

I am a Fort Wayne guy and I think that Fort Wayne wins at 106, 144, 157, 165, 175, and 215.  That is 6 and I think they could get 1 more match at either 120, 138, or 285.  I know the Mooresville Regional would be a favorite over all 3 Semi-States on paper but I was impressed how close I think Fort Wayne is to them.  I chose to compare to Fort Wayne because I am a Fort Wayne guy.
 
After rereading it, I can see how it reads as disrespectful but I think it is noteworthy they are close (since Mooresville had 6 champs) and not looking to disrespect but just thought it would be a fun scenario.

Chastain was fun to watch!

Gralan Early 2003 Is the GOAT from Northside, He has a 4,2 and a 1

Mooresville absolutely does, especially the top 4 and champs. 
 
But I can pull data and find 7 replacement 3BGuarantee placers for sure. 
 
But like I told Y2 let’s not let someone w Purdue in their name separate us!!

Yeah.... shoooweeee.. bless the Mooresville Regional... .We just get guys like Coy Hammack who are semifinalist as a Sophomore and never make it back to state. This year Peyton Richards, beat Gunner Butt at Connersville and Jalen May at IHPO but gets beat in ticket round by Rioux.
 
We aren't competing if not for Mooresville, that's for sure!!!
 

Sorry fellas... It's in the Geneva Conventions....
