Being an old timer and having followed this state tourney for years ,, a note for you youngsters back when I wrestled and the post I made about Bloomington high school being named the best high school team in the USA by some wrestling publications,, the state of Indiana only places for individuals and you had to win the sectionals,and the regionals to get to the state tourney.

Having coached in Georgia for 35 years and taught , we had twenty dates usually we had five duals on Friday night and five in Saturday, lots of mat time , too much ? Maybe but we could wrestle lots of junior varsity kids in this ten duals every week end ,, I had a wrestler that was 86-1 with 68 falls his senior year (a national record for falls ) but a wrestler at another school had more the ninety wins in a season ! Too much wrestling ?? Maybe , probably ! But it sure kept me busy
