@DawgPoundRed how many of those houses on the link does the LLC Bulldog Premier Club (aka Hawk) own to put families up "moving" to CP ? I kid of course Hawk is my buddy

@jshep86 Cesar is a great kid and many of those kids including your son are great and have tons of potential for deep state runs....... despite the bad coaching from Hawk/Sessa (LOL). Wish I would have taken a pic of Vinny napping all laid out on bleachers behind me to insert but at my age its tough to get my phone out fast enough to capture things

legend spotted today @HeavyHands

@GenHeavyHandz Hey General pump the brakes buddy...... last time you got all riled up talking about grappling someone you ended up in Hosp and we don't need that happening again buddy.

@TripleB Great kid, always smiling and has something funny to say, but as for his organization.................. He needs a person helping him keep track of his belongings at all times (Kameron lost his singlet before the 1st dual and needed another one, now this is after he told me he did not think it fit right and would like a different size........hmmmmmm) LOLOLOLOL. Kid is going to do great things and best of luck to him this year at my alma mater. RDP RDP RDP !!!!!!

@Coach Brobst this was not directed at you as I am hopeful you will do a much better job than was previously done. The rules were put out there and clear to everyone but not followed by some and not enforced by some. That is a bad look but at the end of the day it should be all about the kids not a money maker and that is what I think some people lose site of. Hope for the best and thank you for all of your hard work

Last year the qualifiers rules were not followed so why worry about this little detail going forward ? save you some time I would suspect

Since this new area is becoming a booming wrestling section of the state I have decided to take a visit to the Caprino @Y2CJ41 home on Sat for an "un-official" visit for a potential landing spot for a future hammer. Reporting no names but this kid has been previously Frepan/Seymour trained

***disregard as I see this has been answered by MattyB the ref said the arm slipped out and the lock was illegal and thus no NF points can be awarded while in an illegal hold. (that was the explanation given) @Ahap88

I do not always agree and or see eye to eye with the comments posted by @GenHeavyHandz but man its funny to see how quickly people react to his posts/comments. People just don't like the guy and that makes for some good msg board reading.

sorry @ENoblewrestling just seeing this post. We have done this in the past with a wrestle off challenge date for all spots. It started off well attended and then with timing wise people stopped coming due to conflicts with FS wrestling and spring breaks and they also started to figure out they could still get on team even if they did not come and we had to call people to fill spots. We decided to form a committee this year of 2 ISWA board members (Myself--Kids director & Ryan Parrish--folkstyle development director). We then took the elementary duals team state large division coach and small division coach, the Middle school team duals winning coach. (Garland Cooper--New Pal; Cameron Harris--Leo; Doug Strayer--CP) We then looked at the state representation for all those people and had 2 at large spots for any other part of the state not represented or a person who just knows kids in the state (for those we had Matt Kelly and Dustin Bentz) With this group of guys we had 3 zoom calls and used the last years Folkstyle State, National level events, MS state, elementary duals results, MS duals results, head to head results and also just common sense and we all agreed who are the 2 best kids 6th grade and under for elementary and 6th grade to 8th grade for MS. We then listed the team and opened it up for any challenges by non selected kids for the selected spots and we did have about 10 of those on a Friday/Sat at a centrally located facility with an IHSAA/ISWA mat official. There was only 1 instance that I can think of that the selections made were changed. Bottom line is people in the know always know who the kids are that are the best at each weight for these teams. In the past we were not always getting them due to vacation and other conflicts and kids coming to the wrestle offs to wrestle off were getting the spots but maybe not our best kids at that weight. If this process does not seem like it worked then we will look to modify or tweak it again because our goal is to send the best Team IN teams we can out to Heartland to represent the state. Thanks for your question and if you have any others please do not hesitate to reach out.

All teams updated for current roster spots. Challenges for spots on elementary are this Friday and Sat and MS will likely be next Friday. We have some challenges so these spots could change. Stay tuned as we continue efforts to try to send the best kids available at each weight out to Heartland 2023 to represent Team IN !!!!

Every parent out there will automatically say their favorite name said in the Mr. Whitehead voice is their own kid's name after being announced a state champion to stand at the top of the podium. I literally can still hear the echo of that voice & announcement in my head to this day like I was in Bankers Life listening to it live. This will be a tough act to follow for someone for sure. Thanks for all your time and dedicate and we look forward to 2 more days of this !!!
