Most Impressive over the holiday
casualwrestlingfan replied to ontherise219's topic in High School Wrestling
Yep, this is what most do not realize about the FW semi state. We have wrestlers who do much more than wrestling in schools that are much smaller. The schools that carried the semi state back in the day are very much smaller than the likes of Brownsburg, Crown Point, and Center Grove. Hell if we combine all 3 Adams County schools we may still be smaller than the big schools down by Indy. I'll take having 3 straight 1A football appearances in the finals with maybe a 4th this upcoming fall with some qualifiers and maybe a couple placers at this point from our county. Also take the 1A team dual results for AC & SA going above their seeds. Bellmont has done well in 2A as of late even being a former shell of themselves. Plus the baseball teams have had a little success too. We will keep feeding the country with crops & livestock as well! -
Jones v. Farmer - 3rd Takedown
casualwrestlingfan replied to uncle bernard's topic in High School Wrestling
Instant replay for finals only? Have the ref, assistant ref, and then ultimately a mat chairman determine the call from replay? -
No keep Brownsburg where they are at. If anything, send Wawasee & Warsaw to Ft Wayne and Tippy Valley. Just odd they go to ECC. I know I was disappointed in the Ft Wayne Semi State performance, but maybe Evansville just had an outstanding tournament and we were the tough luck recipients. I think our smaller schools are going to have to buy into the off season RTCs we finally have. Feel like part of Adams County & maybe Wells is that our kids are into so many activities already. We have football/cross country/tennis in the fall, baseball/track in spring, and then 4H/farm responsibilities from spring through fall as well. Especially schools like Adams Central, South Adams, Southern Wells, and Bluffton. Without multi sport athletes, the schools wouldn't have teams in fall & spring. Guess we have to find time to fit in more off-season wrestling somewhere. Besides kids trying to be kids & earning some $ to spend.

Just waiting for the IHSAA to re-seed the semi finalists in the future.

State Finals. Why the breaks?
casualwrestlingfan replied to TakeTheShot's topic in High School Wrestling
Like keeping the classes together, but the split session on Friday needs to go. We need to get wrestle backs from sectional to state whether that means adding another week between sectionals & regionals to do so. Start Friday morning at 9 and have wrestle backs to 3rd. Friday make it 16 to 12 then 12 to 8 to wrap Friday night up. -
True, which makes it worse that Evansville is the leader. There are 3 schools in East Chicago, and a couple sectionals/regionals out of New Castle I'd like to see do well. Basically Elkhart County down to Madison County and Madison County to Henry & Wayne County up to Steuben County and everywhere in between with the FW semi state having Miami, Howard, & Fulton Counties.
-
Hope so! Like to see more Jay County Sectional participants earning medals and qualifying for state next year. Same with EACS wrestlers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but just 1 wrestler qualified for state out of the 4 schools. At least he is earning a medal and is undefeated so far going into this morning.
-
25-31 though. Not even 2 medals per weight class if you break it down that way. It's been better and it's been worse, but just feels like a slip again. Kudos to all 56 that represented the FW Semi State. Maybe having just 2 local winners in 3 County area (Adams, Jay, & Wells) with also 1 from EACS makes it feel worse than it is.
-
Seems like FW is going for the #4 ranking of semi states. Not a great first session for NE Indiana.
-
Yes, as they edged AC out last year for it.

Ft. Wayne Semi State Predictions
casualwrestlingfan replied to Michael Berry's topic in High School Wrestling
Shout out to Wurm from AC! 2nd year wrestling after his freshman year was spent on the hardwood. Not only qualifying for state but finishing 2nd today was impressive. Always say AC has some decent wrestlers on the hardwood as most have a hard time choosing between the two after middle school. -
Is it just me or does it seem like the Adams County kids are struggling in top & bottom more this postseason than others? All 3 schools (Bellmont, AC, & SA) look really good neutral but aren't riding on top or getting out/reversals on bottom. Though Kukelhahn has a great switch.
-
No surprise on that one.
-
Does that rank ahead of Great Taste vs Less Filling?
-
Somewhat of a blueprint by the MHSAA for venue & setup. Holds 70,000 so plenty of space for good seats.
-
Thanks for calling me a boomer! Though I'm several years from that age group, I'll wear it as a badge of honor!
-
Not saying one year, but every year! The whatever I want to be named today venue doesn't want wrestling there. Plain and simple. Every year we have seating argument debates and lotteries for suites. Glad to know I get under your skin/annoy you to no end every year though! The hotel prices are always high for football state, wrestling, and basketball. Yes the NBA makes it 3-5x worse. However, being centrally located, means the fan doesn't have to stay overnight necessarily unlike Evansville & Ft Wayne for others. The only IHSAA "conspiracy" is they knew this well in advance and decided to be reactive instead of proactive. Once again, it's not the basketball tournament (they've also screwed up that again) so it doesn't matter to them like it should. LOS would allow for more mats and push wrestle backs instead of Friday night eliminating some fans & wrestlers attending on Saturday. That's one thing MHSAA seems to have done nicely. I'm sure many here will complain it's too far from the action. I'd prefer to have a birdseye view instead that isn't in a suite. I'm sure there is more scheduling bs like the basketball arena as well that would have to be looked at as well.
-
Rather have it in LOS every year over whatever the heck they decide to re-name every other day where the Pacers play.
-
Isn't there anything in the suburbs of Indy like Carmel, Zionsville, Westfield that could hold it?
-
A bit torn as if it's in Ft Wayne, it will be close to attend. However part of the fun is getting away from the area. Evansville is forever away from here and not desirable.
-
More reasons for the IHSAA to get off their a** and do something productive in recognizing this tournament. It would grow the sport, but this being Indiana, that's not what the IHSAA wants. They want to grow basketball instead, but they're killing that too. Football is growing just because the popularity is growing in the country and throughout the world, not due to the IHSAA. Not just the IHSAA, but the OHSAA next door and others are screwing this up as well. Both fall under the NFHS and going through their "training" material, I can see why. Just think in terms of the federal government and state governments and how they've been failing too!
-
Just use paper & old school.
-
They dropped it on the OHSWCA as well as you know. Guessing their venue issues was a big reason why with not having St John's to use.
-
See #1. Should be IHSAA sponsored and ran like other IHSAA tournaments. My mistake for not clarifying that aspect. They should let the IHSWCA run the logistics. I'm in the minority, but the season could go into March.
