  1. I am assuming this is referring to classing the individual state tournament? 
     

    I see several comments which appear to start to reference how the IHSAA state tournament could be even better. However, no real suggestions are made. Genuine question, “Go Bigger” how? Class the state tournament? Bigger venue? More qualifiers? Bigger drinks for the fans that pay $11 for a soda? Combine womens and mens tourney? 
     

    I say all of these thing with all due respect of course. Great article, just wanted to make sure I am interpreting  it correctly.

    No need for that, it is what it is. I'm just tired of seeing this throughout NE Indiana. Bellmont vs AC & SA, AC vs SA, and etc in person.

     

    Like I mentioned, no one seems to have answers to my questions. I'm trying to get 3 steps ahead of my quest/far fetched dream. Feel not enough kids are doing off-season folkstyle work, let alone freestyle and Greco-Roman. I just have been exposed to folkstyle but little to 0 freestyle & Greco-Roman. Everything is basically from personal observations. 

    I am not sure if you want my opinion or not, just an average ol coach here. However, If i had to do a freestyle 101 breakdown for someone going into their first tourney I would focus on 3 things. 
     

    1.) work on hand fighting and outside singles. If you are going to attack high c style thats fine just make sure you rotate to a corner so you dont get crotch lifted. Knee pulls are awesome. You want finish high as much as possible. Get to your feet ASAP
     

    2.) transition to a lock (leg lace or gut) on the way down to the mat after your takedown. Someone who is experienced in freestyle will “glue” their chest to the mat and while

    not impossible, it is harder to get your hands locked once they get flat and start defending. 
     

    3.) be tough on bottom for 8-10 seconds and dont try hitting a standup 🥲 had a friend try do this in his first ever freestyle tourney and get launched for 5 😮💨

  3. I was at middle school state qualifier yesterday. (Plymouth) This 5-8th grade group coming up from Fort Wayne and the Northeast Corner is nails. You pair that with the resurgence of the Peru/Maconaquah regional, Delta’s youth hammers, rochesters youth, etc. and I truly believe we have some bright years ahead as a semi state. (and some really fun days at the Coliseum for the fans)

    The Fort has something on the rise for sure, it is is going to completely change the Ft.Wayne area and our semi-state will reap the benefits. My guy @CoachDuke2.0 has been been telling me all about it. If anyone on here has elementary kids and are looking to get them into a club, I highly suggest you go see him at The Fort with all the other great coaches. Nick coached me in high school  for a couple years, and I wish I had more time to learn from him.

    Thank you for the kind words. Mon and Thurs 630-8 is a great environment. Carroll, homestead, EN, Leo, garret, prairie heights, dwenger, snider kids all in the building. When our middle schoolers are in its often 40-45 deep. Pull up. If you dont like it, you wont get your money back but you can have a popsicle! 

  5. Just an average coach here but id say anything where you are rotating or cutting the corner is good stuff. Head inside single or knee pull if you are trying to get to the back leg. 
     

    I would say people almost want you to shoot a traditional high c so they can set the corner on you and go crotch lift or barrel roll. Staying out front never seemed to work that well unless you just have super good defense. 
     

    just my thoughts.

    Does anyone know if these etickets can be printed off and used or phone only? With other etickets for different events, I have been able to print them and the barcode can be scanned from paper. 

    Phone only 

  7. Even without seeing the draws we know the following 

     

    -Jendreas will be on the same side as rioux or hockaday

    -Bahl will be on the same side as ison or choeff

    -Goodwin will be on the same side as law or conway

    -Cruz will be on the same side as buchanan or henry 

     

    could they win all of those? Yes. Could they lose a few or all, yes. Regardless of how many they get to the finals i just dont see a scenario in which they lose. Them just pooping the bed doesn’t really seem likely with that coaching staff and schedule.
