hahahahahaha, now that is some funny stuff @Y2CJ41 I like Joe and would never want to battle him. I have seen a recent pic of @TripleB however and I believe we are in the same weight class now so that guy I have some built up angst for !!!! @UncleJimmy that was COVID times during that pic, I couldn't get out to get a haircut and needed a new shaver after only getting half way thru the job. I have cleaned it all up now and again look more like Tom Cruise again.

I have 1 open roster spot for anyone to contact me to fill @ Jason Miller 219-730-9489. I will post Rosters in next week or so. only open spot: MS blue: 160 Please reach out to me asap to get in on this.

You guy may need the supplementary health insurance that comes with the ISWA State tournament so maybe make it happen there ? I kid of course but maybe not... lololololol; good luck guys

this is an IHSWCA event not ISWA

I want to first say thank you to @blueandgold for starting this thread. I was not sure who you were but have been informed and I have huge amounts of respect for you young man so again thank you for the kind words about Logan. To everyone else who has commented on here thank you also so very much. I have been around wrestling for many many years as an athlete, coach, ISWA board member & parent. I have gotten to know lots and lots of kids and families from all over the state thru the many many years Thru all the years I have known this is a great sport that can have heartbreaking endings and results and equally great un-believable outcomes and accomplishments. Logan has had a great career in the sport and has achieved things greater than I would have and could have expected for him. The thing that makes me the happiest of all after everything he has gone thru (especially over the last two years) is how he carried himself after it all came to an end on Saturday. Mom and I were completely devastated and honestly I could not think or rationalize what to do next, but seeing Logan stand up shake hands and then come back out and sit with his team was un-believable to me. I talked to him a few times during the rest of the day and while I was teary he assured me he was OK and he was going to be fine just a little disappointed. Now to address all the above comments (like I said I have made many friends along the way during my time in the sport) and I thank all of you for your kind words. Most of you I do not know personally but please seek me out at some point at any ISWA event so I can fist bump you and thank you personally for acknowledging what I know already is that Logan is an awesome & kind young man. To @Darrick Snyder @mikemorgan what a wild ride its been over 4 years from a state title to a heartbreaking loss and everything in between (thanks to Mike for coming in to help navigate this last run). You guys have been awesome and amazing and I know I will be friends with you guys forever and love you both. Thank you for everything. Lastly to @tiger92 thank you for post and to be honest it does not surprise me that Logan found your son on social media some how and reached out to him to congratulate him and wish him good luck going forward. Unfortunately for me I selected seats in the part of the arena that I had sat in the previous times I had been fortunate enough for Logan to be at Semi-state and did not want to break from tradition even though they were not in the "B-burg section". This turned out to be right next to the Princeton fan section. It was tough to be honest, but I did get to see what I think was mom and dad happy and elated for their son Jared Dunn thru the whole day. To me that is what this sport is all about, as I was devastated they were elated and I honestly could not be mad about that. I hope your son enjoys this experience and has the time of his life. Its a great event being at the state finals and I know he will soak it all in and have great life experiences and take a ways. I hope he makes a deep run and can achieve all he wants and dreams about. To all other kids competing this weekend best of luck, stay safe & healthy and accomplish your dreams and enjoy the moments, soak it all in and never have regrets.

You are correct o'Great @feez

Yes the wrestle offs will be 3-20-22 at Contenders wrestling academy and time slots for each weight division are listed on the ISWA home page under the Team IN heartland duals tab. This also is the same for those kids that place 1-8 at MS state as they will also be invited to do wrestle offs to qualify for the MS Team IN national team.

@mikemorgan makes un-believable life long connections with kids and is great in the room. He has done wonders with my guy this year and has helped him find the joy and love for the sport he had lost !!! Thanks mike, get him to finish line !!

@Y2CJ41 Oh boy this thread has taken a turn............ I feel it coming again for @GenHeavyHandz dangit !!!. @TeamGarcia & @Mattyb and I were just talking yesterday about that pic of him in the hospital bed after he had a very un-fortunate medical situation and how far he has come since then. OK OK OK lets just all take a breath and cool down on this guys..................... The General Loves his guys and other's on here love their guys, lets all just hope this COVID crap doesn't take over and we get to finish the season and the kids all stay safe and healthy along the way.

I don't like to post much just read a lot, but when I see something this stupid I have to call out its utter ignorance. Come on man that was a classless post and I hope you were just trying to post something funny (it didn't work) and it was just totally disrespectful. give it a better positive effort next time. @QuinnHarris is doing great things with a great group of kids lets just all be impressed by that.

195 and both Hwt spots are still open for anyone who wants the opportunity ?

we have filled the 132, 140 spots. the 195 and one of the HWT spots have soft comitments and may solidify in next 24hrs. this will leave 1 HWT spot open for MS team. call me Jason Miller 219-730-9489

Yes, numbers were low this year as it was tough timing for the wrestle off's being during spring break. My issue is that when we had them in February people complained it was too early because it was hard for kids to get back to weight in April. We couldn't hold it in early March because I had no idea until closer to time when we were going to be able to hold Folkstyle state and how many weekends it was going to take so we landed on this date as being the real only choice this year. With that said it doesn't help that we have lots of people out encouraging other things and discouraging people from wanting to be part of the ISWA National Team trip (I won't go into specifics, but like Spencer Lee says "if you know you know"). Its OK, we have several kids that are getting the great opportunity and will get better and benefit from the trip. We do however need the following weights filled for MS team if anyone wants the opportunity and or wants to help get kids out there. MS 132,140,195 & HWT (2) Reach out to me directly if anyone has a lead on kids for these websites and if anyone wants to post fighting responses to my comments above please don't as I have no time for that.
