JMILL

Congrats to all teams that participated in yesterday's event.  It was very successful and was well ran.
With that being said obviously congrats go to the Champions Center Grove and the runner up Jay County and 3rd place finisher Brownsburg as well.
I want to recognize another team for what I feel sometimes gets over looked and goes without mentioning too often.  At the end of the day the voice on the microphone announced that we would ask all teams to do their part in cleaning up their area.  While myself and a couple other ISWA directors, board members and the president were collecting our equipment someone commented to the Perry Meridian team and coaches that we appreciated them cleaning up their area.  They advised us they had already cleaned up their area and were cleaning up another area on their way out the door.
Then after that was completed 2 kids from that team came to the ISWA President and myself and very politely & respectfully asked if there was anything else they could do to help us and thanked us for the day.
Keep in mind these are MS kids showing the maturity and grace of what we would expect from most if not all of our HS age kids.
 
Now this is where I should and would normally make a joke at the expense of @lewdwar but in this case I feel its best to just keep it classy and say thank you and you are doing a great job mentoring and leading those kids and it definitely is showing !!!!

How did I do ?   I also was out sick and did not get to see any results yet ??

Missed them all Jason....keep the day job!

@GenHeavyHandz nothing but positive thoughts man, hated to read this all this morning.  I hope you have a speedy recovery, and I have to be the one to say it...…. if this is a hoax you may make poster/thread HOF, heck this thread may already make the HOF !!!!!! 

maybe the Warren people...…. @mikemorgan or krulik can open the wrestling room during state for this special exhibition contest ???  sign waiver forms to release school from any liability and let the bodies hit the floor as @TeamGarcia always says ??
 

It is very unfortunate...……….but with my ISWA duties I will be there but will not be able to be a corner guy and to be honest I am a fan and would hate to take sides.  @FCFIGHTER170 and @GenHeavyHandz have never done or said anything to me out of sorts so as far as that goes I am a simple fan of the event and will enjoy the battle.  Now if @Y2CJ41 was involved I would be the opposite corner (LOL.... I kid)

I will take Snyder any day of the week...……….not to mention if he was not in the corner then you run the risk of him being across the mat in the other corner and that is bad news for you.  
4 days......oh boy !!!

People out of the region would like to understand what is being said! You would need to bring an interpreter!

I know a 3x State Champ he was cheering for . 

Negative..I just picked wrong between really good guys..I don't need pity..I got plenty of guys I cheer for that'll do just fine..

Thank you big dogg and i'll never stop supporting the sport and our guys! You know the feeling is mutual! I appreciate you speaking truths and speaking from experience of our past! BTW what about Those Bobcats!

Not true... @FCFIGHTER170 is the official collection agent / enforcer for TheCounty. He has stood behind multiple state champs of late. He’s a good dude that actually is working with kids to try to make them better. Not just a keyboard warrior like others. Just likes to pump his guys up. I know that we are having fun. But... I will stick up for guys who give of themselves and actually help kids.

Asbury wrestled great Saturday!! I thought he stepped it up to another level from Regionals. That’s what good kids do, they get better in big situations. Results are all that count.

This is total disrespect and not needed.  You sir are a classless individual and clearly I say this without knowing who you are because you don't sign your posts.  I hope to hell you are not someone I know on a personal level because I think this kind of a statement towards a kid is just un-called for and you should re-think your posts in the future.

Got real quiet in this thread all the sudden. 

Well..... Elvis last show was in Indianapolis Way back in 1978 or some year like that and he was Probably staying in the Red Roof Inn on the Eastside . Might of got his hands on some bad cocaine and then got arrested by Lawrence PD on LivePD airing this Saturday night at 9pm . So for your LivePD fans out there you can now watch Elvis getting arrested. Only in Indiana ! 
 
So ..... to answer your question. It’s was @JMILL dressed up as Elvis in a white jump suit. He’s from The Region and use to sport a mullet . 
 
Thank You, Thank You 

That’s a real statement brother.  Painful lesson.....but a valuable one.  An early cradle and extremely intelligent wrestling of backing up and down blocking, allowed a very strong...physically mature and battle tested Mazero to squeek past 14 yr old Silas by 1 point.
Admittedly....it was one of the best things to happen to Silas.  It initiated an even deeper sense of drive towards strength training, positioning, and becoming a well rounded wrestler.  Not just a dynamic athlete on his feet.  I’m hopeful every wrestler who reads this....whether freshman or upper classmen, fully realizes......wins & losses don’t define you.  Your response does. 

If I remember right, he bumped up a weight to try to win one for his team. Because... that’s what true champs do. He put his career undefeated record on the line for his team. Came up just short. That’s why the kid is even more awesome! 

Just an fyi 
 
I called the IHSAA and asked when they would release regional brackets. 
 
after being on hold for two minutes, I was told it’s up to the respective school to release the brackets. 
 
I called our regional host AD, he said the IHSAA says the schools can release them anytime after 1pm Tuesday. 
 
They don’t do this with other sports. Why hold brackets? Can we get the rat to fix it? 

Tough wrestling all day long is my prediction

Well if that’s the case than whether you’re undefeated or not doesn’t really mean anything considering the variance in competition. 
 
You can’t compare a wrestler who seeks out top level national competition with one who has only wrestled in their back yard.
