Last year I drove to Indy from Fort Wayne separate from my father and brother because my wife was 39 weeks pregnant, just in case I had to bail out at any time. Luckily my girl was born 3 days later!

2 years ago I was at Indy for state from Floyd’s Knobs and my wife was 40 weeks pregnant then aswell. 12hrs after I got home on Sunday she went into labor!

Rule 343 … Having babies isn’t an excuse on Indianamat to miss wrestling …. PERIOD ! 
Have her suck it buttercup and have the baby tomorrow or something . 
 

 

 

 

 

also hope you have a healthy baby . @richyy253

40 week pregnant wife, 7 year old and a 2 year old at Semi State doesn’t sound like a good time to me lol. I go by myself for the piece. Baby or not I’ll 100% be at state next week. Sitter is already planned and been paid! 

Y’all hurting my Pickems lol

I have never watched online before.  We always go, but plans changed.   So you just have to keep up with matches on Track and then switch to whatever mat right?

Same first Evansville Semi state I’ve missed in 11 years. Wife’s 40 weeks pregnant and I know how my luck goes.

Go look at the brackets it’s already changed. That quad is anyone’s to take,  I’ll ride with my guy Liscano. Great kid who’s put in the work ( I’m sure that’s basically every kid at SS). 

I looked after your comment, I changed my Pickems to Liscano. I was just saying that Wolpert has a much better chance of making it now that he doesn’t see Doster in the go round. Dosters is my FW dark horse to win it all.

Looks like Rhonemus from Delta is out of the bracket at 144 in Fort Wayne. Tough being a senior, hope all is well. 

If that’s true Wolpert just got a gift from the gods. Have a very solid shot at making to the state floor.

It would open up your weekend, you know we are bringing home at least 7 titles. 

You wrote out 4 wrong, I you accidentally put a 7.

113 will be a bloodbath. Toughest weight at the Evansville semi state since 2018 126?

I disagree 120lbs seems much harder then 113lbs

I think FWSS has title chances with Boyd, Wood, Doster, Betz and I’ll even throw Leech in there too. 

Doster my dark horse for FW.

As far as state goes does Fort Wayne have any favorite? How many champs does FW get this year?

now we all know brownsburg, mater dei and center grove will get into team state … and they should.  It really has a bigger affect on the smaller schools (1A and 2A) battling those 3 plus throw in Avon, Floyd central, terre haute south for their team state bids

I think he is referencing the actual team race at state

Serious question.   What's the answer?   Once you get to SS and also at State then you have another seeding meeting?   

No, unfortunately that’s just how the cookies crumble.

Absolutely Brutal draws this year in Evansville. Evansville normally always has a few really bad draws but this year I feel there are a load more than usual of terrible terrible draws. Good luck to all the wrestlers this weekend. 

Evansville had some brutal ticket rounds this year.

Too much competition for the host school……

Glad somebody said it we all know who doesn’t want that to happen so they can win every sectional championship. 

Dang there are 10 schools bringing more to semi state then the entire Jeff sectional OUCH! 

Let’s be honest if Gable had wrestled this year. Parris wouldn’t have had a title. Parris in my opinion has a lot more let to do to be considered the GOAT.

In UTB the first stalling is a stalemate. And after that it is a stalling. Since CG had no stallings he was able to hang on there at the end

From my understanding there is no stalling in the UTB. You can pick a kid up and hold him in the air for 30 seconds if you want. 

Logan Frazier is my Lock this year. Also can’t look past Lowery after the clinic he put on May at the Holiday Classic. Really separated hisself.

A lock against the guy that took J Conway into OT last year?

 

Nah, don't think so.

I do think Goodwin and Ruhlman will be the finals match. But I think Ruhlman has really separated himself from the field this year. Though in my opinion Ruhlman isn’t a lock I do think if Goodwin wins to me it would be a big upset.

Oh I know, just have to try to be top 20 to boost my confidence haha

I think I’m currently tied for 5th overall I’m really hoping to finish top 10 this year !  

I just finished mine and I’ve got 6 champs from Evansville, 4 from East Chicago, 2 New Castle, and 2 Fort Wayne. I did throw up some upsets (more homer picks than anything). In Hockaday over Action Jackson and Buttler over Leavell.

It was but Khawaja also came into the state finals with a bum ankle or knee if memory serves. Upset in terms of rankings but he was not close to 100%. You could see it in the match and when his coaches walked him back to the tunnel, one under each arm.

If memory serves me he was also sick as a dog at semi state last year aswell. Was probably still dealing with that aswell

Purdy and Hanson / Henry and Deming Saturday morning OUCH! Tough half bracket at 195.
