Crawfordsville High School is looking for a dual meet this Thursday, 1-17. Our senior night opponent had to cancel due to their conference being moved. Please contact Athletic Director Bryce Barton at brbarton@cville.k12.in.us or Head Coach Chris Ervin at cervin@cville.k12.in.us if you are interested. We could possibly host on Wednesday as well, but Thursday is definitely our best day.

Crawfordsville High School is selling a full sized mat. The mat is 24 years old and has been re-conditioned once. It is 42' x 42'. The competition side is good, and has been used for meets (including sectional) up through this year. The back side (with practice circles) has several cracks and the vinyl is peeling in several places. Since this is public property, it is being sold via online auction. The link to the auction is below. http://publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=1833749 If you have any questions beyond what is on the auction site, feel free to email me at school: cervin@cville.k12.in.us Chris Ervin Head Wrestling Coach Crawfordsville High School

Chris Ervin Head Coach Crawfordsville, HS

My first thought was skepticism, but looking at Ersland's resume, he has been part of some strong programs. Obviously, being coached by Gable and being part of three national championship teams, he has been around the best. ALL of the programs that he has coached in have been successful. He has been around some great coaches over the past 17 years. I was one that really wanted to go after a "Big Name", and I thought Kolat, Henson, etc. would have been awesome. However, I'm also trying to remember that being a great wrestler does not mean that a guy is going to be a great coach. The fact that he missed out on AA status shouldn't disqualify him from being a great coach. Good luck to Tony Ersland and his staff and I for one am hoping that he wants to get involved in Indiana wrestling and help the entire state grow!

Seems kind of odd to me that they are taking so long. The program is in limbo as long as they are without a head coach. Spring training, getting kids to their summer camps, etc, will really suffer. I'd like to see them go big, like an assistant from PSU, Iowa, or OSU (Lou Roselli would be great!), but Joe is probably right. They are probably making more as assistants, and with better facilities, than Purdue is willing to pay. I hope they decide to pony up. It could be great for wrestling in Indiana!

FYI: Robert Manns from Crawfordsville is planning on going for Greco at 195. He placed 2nd at Greco State. He said that he turned in the forms AT Greco State, but he probably has not paid yet. I know he was going to do some fundraising. He is also available and interested in Freestyle if you need him. He placed 5th in Freestyle. You can contact me at cervin@cville.k12.in.us if you need any info or need to contact Robert. Thanks! Chris Ervin Head Coach Crawfordsville HS

Does anyone really wonder why we don't have team state?
LittleGiant91 replied to Y2CJ41's topic in Past Discussions
I agree with Cal Warner. I have known Coach Peck for a long time, and he has always worked hard to promote his program and the sport, despite what some "know-it alls" seem to think. I take his word at face value. That said, the original post by Y2 was correct in many ways. From the beginning of the team dual state series, teams / coaches have sent JV teams to wrestle highly ranked opponents, sat out wrestlers to avoid tough matches, etc. We (the coaches) have been warned MANY times by the IHSAA that this shed our sport in a negative light in their eyes and were warned / threatened not to do it. Year after year, coaches continued to do this, claiming that it was best for their team , program, whatever. Our sport has struggled to move forward in Indiana because we cannot come together for the good of the sport. There have always been coaches who "can't see the forest for the trees", so to speak. When I was a head coach, we were ecstatic to advance our smaller (700 students) school and wrestle the largest high school in the state (4000+) at the time in the team regional. Our youngsters battled hard and did not back down, and it was a great experience for them and our program. Now, like it or not, we are going back to the "old" tournament format, likely for good. We had something good, but we screwed it up. You can blame the IHSAA if you want, but the wrestling programs of Indiana (at least a few of them) did not help ourselves when we had a chance, if you ask me. -
Weakest in the state? I think that's a stretch! I'm not going to argue that it's the toughest by any means, but I've seen much weaker over the years. The earlier comments about having a lot of smaller schools is correct. And maybe, just maybe, part of the reason that only 14 got out of regional last year was because the Zionsville sectional was LOADED! Carmel, Westfield, Hamilton Southeastern, Zionsville are all big (5A football) with great programs, and the smaller schools in the sectional all turn out some strong individuals. That makes the draws for wrestlers coming out of C-Ville TOUGH! I'll agree that the Crawfordsville Sectional is not one of the toughest in the state, but they have an extremely tough match up with the Zionsville sectional. Maybe instead of calling out coaches of the smaller programs, we should be calling out the IHSAA to balance sectionals a little better. Good luck to all wrestlers this weekend. Have a GREAT tournament and LEAVE IT ON THE MAT!! Chris Ervin Just a fan!

Looks great! A ton of work from some dedicated individuals. I do have one question. Will the IHSAA give those teams invited a "waiver", so they can wrestle an extra tournament, or will they have to drop a tourney from their regular schedule in order to participate? I could see this causing some scheduling problems. Also, what about the one wild card team picked during the season of the tournament? Without a waiver, they would have to cancel a meet that is already on their schedule. I'm sure this has already been discussed and accounted for, I just didn't see it. Thanks again for all the hard work for our sport!

Trying to start a High School Program at a Charter School
LittleGiant91 replied to jdeanb3's topic in Past Discussions
What a cool opportunity to start a new program! I definitely agree with Coach Wadkins. I think the best thing would be to start a middle school program in year one, add JV for two years, then add Varsity in year 3 or 4. Scheduling will also be important. It is important that once you start a program, you schedule programs that you can be competitive with, then gradually improve the schedule as your program progresses. Good luck! -

Idea for Change of State Series Format
LittleGiant91 replied to GrecoCoach's topic in Past Discussions
Great idea, Jake! Looks like you've covered all the bases! I like the idea of finishing the team tournament before individual tourney starts. We could crown team champs, then wrestle for individual titles! -
In the early to mid 90's, LN had a kid named Case Hooper that was a 2-time champ at 152. One year, he wrestled a New Pal kid in the finals, and the annoucer said that all of his losses were to the LN kid. Regional, SS, and State, and I think possibly sectional too. I think the New Pal kid' s name was Jade ??? Help me out, Wildcat or Dragon fans!
