That community is, I grew up in Crown Point but went to Merrillville. Crown Point is booming and they invest a lot into their community with their parks, youth sports complexes, their schools, even their YMCA is top tier. If raising a family and trying to choose a community that invest into its youth, I would choose Crown Point.

I wasn’t saying it as you want to interpret, you guys are the ones that want to try and diminish Crown Point. Congratulations to Fort Wayne on their recent success, I’m just saying what is going on at Crown Point within their city with its growth is something to see. Like I said, I moved out of Crown Point 18 years ago and it’s changed significantly. We have a boom in Northwest Indiana that we can’t keep up with, everyone is moving here from Illinois. While Crown Point was a small city, it’s not going to be any longer with all the open fields turning into businesses and subdivisions.

Either way they will be back and will be better next year from their experience this weekend. It’s a learning lesson for them, I am still a fan and it’s been fun watching these kids grow up.

I thought the same, but I do think that they all learned a big lesson of that bullseye on their back was real and nobody was going to just give it to them. I do believe they will come back stronger next year with their eyes wide open, wrestling to score and not wrestling the clock.

Agreed not the same team that they were throughout the year.

Crown Point might of crapped the bed, but I would still rather go to school and live there than Seymour or Fort Wayne. At least they have something to build off for next year, as they are this years team dual state champions and won it the past two years.

You have to have a good community in place for a club to link to, look at your own examples you listed. RWA isn’t the only place these kids wrestle for, Crown Point has Bulldog Premier in house, where most these kids start at. Then the cross club training begins, iron sharpens iron.

Please tell me you’re not crying over parents moving into communities that gives their kids the best opportunities and is also one of the states top schools for education. I moved from Crown Point 18 years ago and I track the construction industry for the Region and no city has as much growth in housing and businesses as Crown Point with no slow down insight. I can also guarantee you those same coaches coached those same wrestlers in their youth and It’s more of a family, being that they were all raised together. I find it hilarious when people like you scream recruiting and the community itself recruits in its rapid development. How can the IHSAA punish them for the constant change in their community that brings people there? Don’t forget to put your red nose on today so you can hide behind it like you are here. Have a Nice Day!!!

Crown Point just built a new middle school, additions to all the other schools, new sports complex at the high school, thousands of houses being built, new hospital, building more stores and restaurants it is the fast growing city in the state. They’re recruiting so much that we don’t have enough Construction contractors to keep up with them. It’s unbelievable that people are moving to that great community and giving there kids a great opportunity to live there.
