Brilliant, ingenious tilt by Fattore for sure.  Its a pin or its not a pin.  There is no gray area.  Both shoulders not down for two seconds.  Fattore gets robbed by ref and mental attitude award.

LOL Not taking the bait troll.

Still saying prayers.

solid picks there should be a lot of really good semis. 
106- 
rematch from the DAC where it was a tale of 2 matches. Moran with the win dominated Early. Cruz showed that he never quits and came on strong at the end. 
113- 
gosa wrestled Russi early in the season with gosa won 8-7. He missed a sometime and russi looked tough in the finals against hegedus who has looked great winning DAC. 
120- 
I expect a rematch of the Griffith sectional final between Brock peele and Tylor Trina. This match needs no hype watch Saturday broadcast. I hope this is rd 2 of 4 with the finals being at the bank. 
126-
A show down of sectional champions daniel mora Diaz who was a lake county champ will look to knock off highly ranked and returning medalist Colin poynter. 
132- 
reese Rodriguez returning from injury has been tested and passed so far the 2x state qualifiers is the favorite. The winner of the Alec Luna vs Jacob Maldonado semi should be a nice test for Reese 
138- 
Kris rumph looks to be firing on all cylinders. Which should frighten the 138 weight class. Ursey from merrillville is a lake county champ and has the ability to make a run to the medal stand. 
145-
#1 kasper McIntosh is “on a mission” he has been lights out this year. He is looking to finish his impressive career with a blue medal. Cole Cervantes had a huge win in the semis Saturday which should give him a good shot at the finals. 
152- 
i will be looking forward to a pair of DAC champs squaring off for a possible title. Dj Washington has done nothing but impress in his debut season in Indiana. Aaron griggs will have a rematch of the lake county finals in the semis with hobarts Mikey hunter. If Griggs wins there could be a rematch of a Early season match in which Washington took a 6-5 win. Griggs is dangerous and should be medal chasing In Indy
160- 
state ranked Dante colza has had some tight one in the post season so far. But he wins the tight ones. Colza could have a rematch with last years 152 regional champ Zach nugent. Colza was a OT winner in the semis Saturday. The other possible semi between Calumets Cody snook and Malik Hoover should be a great match also. Maybe one of the deeper weights. 
170-
it will be the zack fattore show. He is the only undefeated wrestler in the field and it is well deserved. He is looking to finish his career under the lights at the bank. Standing in his way will be two seniors looking to finish their great careers in the parade of champions. Cody Crary munster and portage drake Guerrero. 
182-
another very deep weight class. A trio of state qualifiers headline this weight Jeremy Torres took care of business at the sectional defeating Bradley Grover putting him in a bracket with merrillville ranked t-lock who defeat him at lake county. Torres and Lockett have had nice rivalry this year with Lockett winning two tight brawls. Don’t sleep on gavits Washington he gave Lockett all he wanted at the sectional. 
195- 
a handful of great athletes head line this weight Erion Hogan defeated Dennis Watson in finals of ec so set up a possible semi final with calumets AJ Fowler. While Fowler wasn’t upset Saturday a lot of people expected a shoot out with portage Jacob Bondon Before Bondon scores the fall. Bondon has been on fire the second half of the season a popular dark horse pick to make a deep run in Indy. 
220- 
3 of the top 4 at 220 will be closely contested. Chester swopes took care of business Saturday setting up a possible semi with munster Caleb Thomas. Brandon streck a medalist at 285 is down a weight and should be a heavy favorite. Streck has his sights set on Indy and a possible date with #1 nationally ranked mason parris. He shouldn’t look past calumet grinder James Lewis. The top 4 will be a handful at EC for any other regional. 
285- 
merrillville lake county champ Anthony Atria is the favorite. He has had a impressive first season in the varsity line up. He is wrestling Inspired. The other sectional champion had to weight for his opportunity as Ricky Beehn was a 3 year back up but is looking to make a huge impact in his final run. Calumet Martin should challenge atria in the semis. 
 
This should be a great day of wrestling. I am a better talker then writer. Hopefully I didn’t butcher this too much. I am excited to see how Hobart runs this I know they will do a great job. 

Seriously all this fuss about a kid missing one tourney to better his future, while there is no shame for holding your kid back for purely athletic reasons.  Come on people its just a sport.

Spencer uses that leg to get up after the the match is over to shake hands no problemo.

4th @ SS to State Champ
 
Rob Pavletic - Hobart 171# 1989

I was mat side and in my opinion I didn't think any of the 3 returns was a slam. all were good solid returns that sounded loud on the dollamur mat. the sound echoed and made it seem worse specially on the third. terrible way to decide a great match

No more Bautista bombs.

Straight Arrow

No more Bautista bombs.

No more Bautista bombs.

We will be on the call again this Saturday. If you can't make the semi state or have family that can't make it. Have them tune in. It will be myself and Dan bedoy on the call.

Mitty fine day of wraslin. Ole Jimmy Watkins puts on a Mitty fine event . I have got som awards for da day.
 
Never over award - da merryville 106 Cruz - loosing most of da mat reveverse and gets da fall
 
Ok you got me dis week - the ongoing Pointer/ Tirana and Rumpf / Black battle
 
Under da radar - I think Fatore will surprise some people in 2 weeks - nice shots and set-ups
 
Da dominator - Reitz is a tough hombre - he got a mean streak in him
 
Roy Boy award - Black from Hobart - sporting a whole lot of ink
 
New comer - Perez from Highland in da finals at 220 as a fresh -
 
Looudest fans - merryville omg day got a few wit some strong vocal cords
 
 
One observation at 145 da Munster wrasled was in deep a few times. Just could not finish. Ole Leroy and Keith needs to get a little offense from macintosh. He ain't winning no state tittles wit openin up.
 
Well wraslin fans next week will be a good one in EC. Da rat is very happy wit he has seen. So da rest of da state you best get ready cause da rat got da brinks truck ready to haul some gold back.

Da Trumpf /johny cash match was a barn burner. The ole rat believes da will split the next three. Trumpf is a lightin bolt on his feet. Ole johny better not have to count on hittin home runs. Ole Leroy and his crew will be fixin and running for next week
 
Jimmy Watkins always puts on a fine tournament . Boy day spent some of that Griffith money on fixin up dat football firld.
 
I really think we ne need to get some younger stripes out dare. After da break da ole boys lost a few steps and could not get into position. Maybe next year da should have a weight watchers menu a da hospitality room.
 
Mitty fine day of wraslin - lookin forward to more battles in da coming weeks. Da rest of the state sharpen your pencils and study a little. Da region boys on a mission to bring precious metal back up ole I 65.

Mooresville Sectional @ 170 is loaded and may see someone make it out unexpected.

Loki, it's all secretive.

Y2 in training put this together, so I thought I'd share it since it's about the best we'll get until the Pony Express hits Victory Bay next week.
 
Connersville Tournament 2016.pdf
 
AND BRACKETS
http://indianamat.com/brackets/2017/Spartan.pdf

This year's seeding meeting criteria:
1. 2015 head to head
2. Farthest advancement in last year's state series
3. Current year common opponents and record against common opponents
4. Highest placement in last year's Al Smith
5. Overall record/win percentage
 
Past years' seeding meeting criteria:
1. Al Smith Classic Wrestling Invitational Place in previous year
2. Varsity record winning percentage
3. Varsity record wins
4. State Place in previous year.
5. Has had 5 match(es) towards Varsity record
6. State Qualifier in previous year.
 
Almost any tournament anywhere will have top criteria being previous year placement in THAT tournament. Some even get really picky and state that it has to be in the same weight class as well.
I assume that isn't the case this year, because that criteria would be extremely unfair to the new team(s) joining the tournament.
Head to head being first: certainly. But I don't understand how you can rely on placement in another tournament to determine the seeding for your tournament, especially when kids have far different roads to earning that placement.
(Before its perceived that this is a rant, it's not. I have no problem with how 106 was seeded. This is merely an example.) Kavanaugh and Demein have no head to head. Next criteria is last year's placement in the state tournament. Tanner placed, Kory did not. A very good arguement could be made that if Kory went through the Fort Wayne Semi State and Tanner through Merrillville, the placements would have been reversed. Kory placed 4th last year at Al Smith, Tanner 5th. Just one example that caught my eye immediately, I'm sure there's others.

Here's most of the ranked matchups from today. I'm sure I missed some, especially some of the 1A matches
