  1. Ray Rioux and Drake Campbell; total of 10 HS matches: 7 matches freshmen year (2016-2017) at 106. Three matches the following year at 120. Add Logan Boe to the same mix, not sure how many Boe v Rioux matches occurred, but 8 between Logan and Drake. All three were in the same county (back when we did a Hendricks county tournament) and they went through the same sectional. All three were 4x state placers, so they saw one or the other just about every weekend their first two years
  2. Well said coach. Your integrity and focus on doing what is right for your boys shine through clearly yet again.
  3. Have to give credit to your #1 pick, its a good one. but I think you're living a Rip Van Winkle moment, you must have slept through 2023 cause that didn't happen last year...
  4. Congratulations to the first BBurg girls state champ Jaiah Oneal, way to go girl. Also, shout out to my alma mater; congrats Heather Crull for being the first ever state champion for Northeastern Wayne, you are a historical Knight, great job.
  5. Guess its past this child's bedtime, the general told me to go to bed. No longer being passive but being demanding, guess I better go to bed before I take a verbal lingual....
  6. yep, just a simpleton child that you like to attack
  7. Hmmm, a fat old dude that posts 5 times a year, yep that most be me; I'm passively trying to get attention... maybe someone should step back and look at themselves in a mirror
  8. ahh, I see I got your attention and garnered one of your lengthier responses and I got you off topic; although still filled with baiting comments. Sorry, I'm not biting.... Like your altruistic thinking about building views and support for this site, that's a great mission, stay focused on that
  9. well said. so tired of seeing apparently a lonely dude using passive aggressive baiting techniques using innuendos to draw in attention upon themselves, then attacking others to get more attention. yes that's directed toward you, the one that flaunts a military name but falls well short on the integrity of those that actual truly carry a military title.
  10. What I seem to remember, Union Modoc kid weighed close to 400 pounds, made it to state 82-83 timeframe. Rumor around east side of state at the time attributed his wt was considered dangerous to other wrestlers, this was reason for the cap on top weight limit. !983 I believe was the date they set the top limit on heavyweight(for the 83-84 season). the wrestler from union made the new weight limit for his senior year, 1984.
  11. Done posted once already on this topic, but got to thinking deeply, probably too deep. I'm split on the best wrestler I've ever seen between two kids. As a father, have to say the best is to see your child step out on that mat and compete, no matter the talent. So, in the eye of this old man, the best wrestler I've seen is equally split between Drake and Griffin Campbell, who many of you would not know because they are not elite, but they are to me...
  12. Brayton Lee 2018 senior year; absolute magician on his feet.
  13. Logan Boe: Danville, Danville, Plainfield, Danville
  14. This article is incredible and brings back lots of memories. I recall being the 4th/5th wrestler from my school to ever make it to semi state, following behind Darwin Collet, Dennis Beckam, and Dewey. My senior year and Mike Mull's freshman year, we had two more knights make it to SS without a coach, only a team chaperone. Now I'm proud to see four representing Northeastern Wayne this year, with an incredible young lady looking to punch her ticket to state. My heart is split this weekend; between my bulldogs down in evansville and the four knights of Northeastern looking to punch their ticket at NC SS. Regardless of the results, may this generation of wrestlers enjoy their journey as I have.
  15. Strange things are afoot at the circle k tonight
  16. The real questions is how does someone so disconnected and lost from our sport like faulkins (note lower case cause he doesn't deserve capital letter) become so powerful in decision making and everyone falls in line. too bad we can't elect our wrestling state representative, cause the guy we have sucks; really hope he reads this and decides to retire.......
  17. IndianaWrestlingGuy, I'll engage in this and defend bburg for my once in a quarter post, not that Coach Snyder needs any defense. I recognize Snyder has already embarrassed, silenced you, and shut this topic down in your face; but I can't help myself from pouring salt on your wound after you think it healed and everyone forgotten your shameful posts. Fully my perspective of course. First off, recent Cathedral teams were built on the coaching of Bryan Bailey who brought the talent into cathedral, pretty much all move ins that he developed and far more skilled than cathedral coaching abilities the day they stepped into their room. Who has cathedral developed in recent history without Bailey = 0. Don't get me wrong, they had good teams, but it wasn't cathedral's coaching that developed or delivered that, with exception of what coach Seltzer has brought, cathedral doesn't develop talent; they simply benefit from others doing the work for them. Do your homework before you claim the same of Snyder.... Second, perhaps I can say my son is one of those that you claim underperformed, maybe not, after all he did achieve 4 state medals and some decent college money to continue wrestling, suspect that's more than you ever achieved in your athletic career. Based on your posts, you seem very self-righteous in your thinking, perhaps you've been lost too many years in your elitist way mindset to have empathy and you simply lash out in your passive aggressive manner at 8th graders when things don't go according to your predefined script and narrative. I mean really, you're supposed to be an "elite" school board member and you go on a forum posting like a little child, "I don't like you, waa waa waa". I truly feel saddened for Cathedral schools if you're influencing their curriculum and represent their credentials. Who's the pot calling the kettle black now... When in doubt, let's throw out fancy talk like caviler and hubris; that'll win the audience over. Like the great cartoon character sponge bob says about fancy talk, "when in doubt, pinky out" was your pinky out when you typed that?? you puttin on airs?? Dude you really need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask why you're so unhappy and why you're lashing out at others, including children.
  18. Seems like an eternity ago, but this bburg team easily walked away with the ISWA elementary state duals championship 6years ago, the only elementary dual state win in our record. I helped build and coach that amazing team; and now it is even stronger. Despite SWINfans blustering and attempts to spin current reality, this brownsburg team is the strongest that we've seen, better even than the BLee and the super 4 seniors that year. If they stay healthy, doesn't matter what seed they get, they will roll through everyone.
  19. Seems it wasn't but several days ago that this poster was talkin about how EMD won this prestigious and tough tourney 3 years ago and implied bburg could only get 3rd two years runnin. Some people seem to have very short memory, or selective memory when it suits their desired message
  20. I would say Indiana wrestling has grown far greater at the college level then ever; take a look on track at some of the results.... you reference days of old when the nation was in a very different state of mind, 40 + years ago when Indiana colleges fielded programs that they no longer do because of political reasons well beyond us. Further, I would say USA wrestling did better in Olympics this year than ever before with Hoosier representation too. Look at the depth of Indiana wrestling now through D1,D2,D3,Naia, and Juco; I would say it has never been stronger since the 30+ years I've followed. What did we do to achieve this success? Send the quantity of kids to super 32 like we've done in past years, go to Fargo, go to Disney, go to Va beach, send our HS teams out of state to compete. If your wrestler doesn't break into varsity his first two years like his older brother, support him and encourage him for the future when he does. Finally :), Support the greatest wrestling website across the 50 states which we have here at our home. At least for IN, seems like we have a good formula and the future continues to look bright; seems like we're growing:)
  21. Turf Toe; Tennis elbow, Covid in the water supply, bad case of Montezuma's curse (otherwise none as shanghai sh*$tz).. Does it really matter?? Why do you ask?? Some great wrestlers won't make the show this year; only hurts IN wrestling and we really don't need to dramatize the reasons, regardless if its BBurg or other great programs.
  22. I don't know if others will consider this weird or not... but I remember my son's first wrestling tournament loss ever, it was to Tyler in his 2nd grade year at the southmont youth freestyle tournament. I remember the old staging system and his dad and I walking our two young boys out toward the mat having a friendly conversation with fatherly anxiety with each other. Amazing how the time flies by and these little boys grow into men so fast. Congratulations and best wishes to Tyler and the Conley family.
  23. I remember making a drive down to evansville some 7-8 years ago with my boy to get him some good matches in a youth tournament at MD. recall a great match with my son and Cole Ross followed by Alec giving my boy a royal beat down on the day. Drake was on several of Bailey's outlaw's teams with both Ross and Freeman through the middle school years that travelled across the country. I've admired watching both these Mater Dei wrestlers over the years. Both have a lot of talent and heart and will go far and represent Indiana well in the years to come.
  24. no, that's not right. its in the hands of politicians and officials worried about fall out with lawyers. its not in the hands of 18-20 year olds who want to compete and live a normal life devoid of media and political opinions....
