I believe that Y2 has offered one of the best responses to this topic that generally appeals after every Sectional. I’ve been at small, medium and large schools and we need to continue to be creative in recruiting and retaining wrestlers. We all know about unfortunate circumstances that happen between Sectional and Regional but not having 8 wrestlers in a bracket needs to be remedied.

Thank you General, I would like to think so
-
All I remember is that every bleacher was pulled out unlike this past Thursday and people sat Fanny to Fanny. The media reported that was the number in attendance

It was an exciting evening and yes I remember the night of 3200 fans. While there hasn’t been as many wins for AC, each one was incredibly significant. Terrific idea for Coach Myers to recognize all the past State Champs. It occurred to me that of all those champs present except for Phil Lengerich, I coached against them at either AC or New Haven. I feel fortunate to have lived so long. Jim Hopkins from the Decatur Daily Democrat dubbed this contest as , “The Big Event.” The tradition continues.

Larry has been everything you would want a wrestling coach to be as a colleague and coach for your son or daughter.

As one of the managers of the FW Semi State the word I was told that the Coliseum was more than willing to host the State Finals, nothing was mentioned about a “ransom.” The Coliseum seats more than Robert’s and more of the state is in shorter distance than those that would have to drive to Evansville. That being said, the distance required would cause schools to have lodging for three nights and past experience would indicate the IHSAA would not provide that much reimbursement. Just another perspective

Kevin Whitehead's Final State Championship
Coach Humble replied to Y2CJ41's topic in High School Wrestling
I started coaching in 1970 and attended the State Finals at Southport in 71 or 72 and have not missed since. There has not been anything or anyone that defines the State Championship like Kevin Whitehead! Thanks -
Thanks and you are correct. I guess old age sometimes confuses

Jay County Regional 138: Tony Wood was the Sectional Champ, his match shoul be in top bracket and the Loan Ulhman AC match should be in the bottom

Sectional Brackets ***Send them to ME!!!***
Coach Humble replied to Y2CJ41's topic in High School Wrestling
Joe, I am most impressed that you got the status of New H(e)aven so correct! -
Decatur lost another wrestling giant. Jim Hopkins, HOF member and former Sports Editor for the Decatur Daily Democrat died unexpectedly this past week. Jim promoted wrestling in Adams County for both Bellmont and Adams Central. Arrangements will be posted later

Fort Wayne Semi-State All-Stars
Coach Humble replied to blueandgold's topic in High School Wrestling
AC also had runner ups: Lynn Fiechter, father to the Fiechter brothers of Southern Wells fame and Ray Ashleyalonf with a whole bunch of place winners and finalists -
Paul’s full obituary can be found at the Decatur Daily Democrat
-
It has not been posted as yet but we have another great wrestler and coach, Paul Gunsett. I will leave the accolades to my Decatur friends but let me say as an outside admirer, I watched Paul wrestle in the kids program, coached against him in High School and coached against him when he led his alma maters, Bellmont. He has always been a class act.

It’s a tough job to seed and I don’t think there is any intent to “shaft” any team. While pathways to the top might be enhanced by seeding, results are the products of performance. Yesterday teams and individuals proved that statement. The “vote in” process came up big yesterday, looking at Greenfield Central and the late addition of Columbus East and if I may offer my “Humble” opinion, South Adams in 1A. SA was a number 12 vote in and finished fifth with 7 Freshmen in the lineup and only 2 seniors.

Very well done with good food and even better fellowship
-
In regards to 1A, first of all congrats to Winamac. Secondly, I realize I am biased but when you are 18 points ahead on criteria, it would seem there would have to be an overwhelming amount of evidence to bump around. I haven’t heard that Winamac met that level over South Adams. We had no forfeits at the Sectional, return most of our Regional points and have an outstanding group of eight graders. That may sound like Winamac’s argument. Nevertheless, what’s done is done and we will just go do it on the mat

Over the weekend we lost another Northeast Indiana wrestling coach, Steve Tatman from South Adams. He lost the match with cancer, as per his request, there will be no services.
-
Coach and I had a great rivalry while he was at Bluffton and I was at Adams Central and it continued with his outstanding success at Colombia City and I was at New Haven but most of all we have been good friends. I had the honor to induct him into the IHSWCA Hall of Fame. I will certainly miss our conversations

Back in the 80s, Ray Ashley of Adams Central finished fourth at the FW SS. He came to visit me on the following Monday morning prior to school and he apologized that he didn’t do as well as he intended on Saturday. He promised he would do better at the State. On Friday night he beat a SS champ, won his Saturday morning match and then defeated another SS champ in the semifinals. Under the lights at MSA, he tossed a young man from Merrillville on his back but unfortunately he landed what then was out of bounds and later lost the match. He finished fourth at the SS because on that day he was not the better wrestler but he really got it going the following week.

At this year’s State Finals: Lonnie Chamberlain, 2x state finalist for Adams Central at 98lbs and former coach at New Pal
-
In response to the Tom Jarman influence upon Manchester grads and their impact upon successes we witnessed this past weekend, let me add this. Before Coach Jarman was at Manchester, before he was at Northwestern, he came to Taylor University my senior year and had a profound influence upon me and in my initiating the wrestling program at Adams Central. The rest is history.

I believe in the mid 1980s, Mark Toarmini from Leo HS came in as an alternate and placed. Mark later on wrestled in college. Someone who his historically minded could confirm

1994 Twin Lakes invitational 215 lbs
Coach Humble replied to CJA_21595knight's topic in Past Discussions
I believe it was 1985 or 86, Adams Central had openings in their schedule and inquired/ invited to the Twin Lakes tournament. As I recall it was a blind draw affair. We were fortunate to perform very well with all but one guy placing including several champs. It was an honor for our small school to win such an acknowledge able tough tournament. We tried to go back the next year but we’re denied. Our AD was told we scored too many points -
I agree with the assessments offered on team potentials for next year but also remember that South Adams only had three seniors in their Sectional lineup and no forfeits. In addition, they have some pretty fair eight graders
