    Vision Quest came out in 1985. Why is that relevant? You can only win state at one weight class. Last time I checked. Louden Swain is not walking in that door. There will not be fake lateral drops and Madonna music. Rypel has nothing to prove nor does Woods. Nor does Red or Lee. Besides the season hasn't began there maybe others who we may be over looking. My two Lincoln's.

    Thanks for putting Lance in their y'all know I loved his competitiveness. People complain about Red's dances but trust me when Lance Ellis walked around Market Square Arena it was like he owned it. The throws the majesty! He was in a class by himself then. Everything else you said ditto.

    What is your criteria besides a strong region bias? We are talking strictly high school accomplishments. Lil Tsirtis is the only logical answer to compare and he lost a couple matches in high school. We are not counting what they did after because Chad Jr has yet to graduate. So if he finishes undefeated and ranked #1?in the country then we shall not debate.

    After his performance at Who's #1 if he wins his 4th state title there is no discussion, he is the best ever.

    Also, just because a wrestler doesn't come from an elite program doesn't mean they can't find success as a wrestler or as a coach. it seems that you normally fight for the underdog or the wrestlers who are not as well known so it seems weird that you have the feeling that coaches who aren't from elite programs would stifle the dreams or success of a wrestler. I think that most coaches would try to assist their wrestlers in realizing the effort that is needed in order to accomplish their goals. Wrestlers at different levels will need varying levels of effort to accomplish the same goal. It's not "weird" it's my most recent experience. I do fight for the underdog because the underdog needs me. However I come from a generational wrestling family and Elite wrestling programs in high school and college. Why is that relevant? Because I know good wrestling, good leadership, and a winning mentality that is sourly lacking in some coaches in this area who are not only inept but also dream killers. Some won't like that I said that but I'll never win a popularity contest. What I will do is do my part to make certain your flacid assessment of the area does not come to fruition. I believe in visualization of a champions verbiage causing karmic fruitions.

    I'm not able to tell you who the champ is out of the FW SS because the tournament hasn't been wrestled. There are athletes that have potential to place very high at the state tournament and they shouldn't be written off because of the Semi State they come from. I am not saying that a FW SS wrester is guaranteed to win a state title I am only saying that each wrestlers potential should be analyzed individually and they shouldn't be written off because of their Semi State. I also wasn't arguing for the success of the FW SS just�that some�wrestlers who come out of it and are able to compete with wrestlers from other semi states. You may be too nearsighted to see. I feel Y2 with the returning champs. However they aren't crowned yet. I've been around the sport for 30 years and I've seen it all. I have 5 friends from Fort Wayne who won state. I have 5 more acquaintances and teammates who have won state. One thing the all had in common. They told me prior to winning state: I'm winning state. It may sound simple and rather general; when someone tells me that I believe them. Believe it or not most people don't say I'm going to win state. That's why they don't. No disrespect but most of the schools in Fort Wayne have coaches who don't come from Elite Programs so they don't aim high and try to temper those with high goals to lower their aspirations. This type of mentality has been allowed to seep into the psyche of Fort Wayne wrestlers. Not in my camp: I don't care what happened last year. There will be guys from our area competing for and winning state titles unless I break my soul.

    Nevermind I think I pretty much nailed it

    It has now become a tradition for me to Change my Handle every year on Indianamat. My first question do I need to open another account or can I just change my moniker. And if so any suggestions? GenHeavyHandz and Commander Wayne does not sound like a Northrop supporter.

    Then you may reside in The Fort but you are not a "Fort Wayne Guy". We shall revisit this on Feb 21st and shall see how good of a prodnosticator you are. I know 2 guys in Fort Wayne one in New Haven 2 in Huntertown, 2 in Muncie, and one in Kendalville that may beg to differ. And who knows who Yorktown has under the radar. That's why they wrestle.

    Any weight is "winnable".. Last I checked Jesus and Muhammad's eligibility is up. I'll agree that Davis has the highest ceiling here and I'd add no one saw him coming last year but myself and his familial circle. If he got fourth last year and was unranked most of the year then I believe a title contention is not out of the question this year. Coy can wrestle with anyone no matter the weight. Glogouski has been wrestling since he was 4 or 5 I believe he has the pedigree to overcome his past setbacks. He is a fiery competitor and I'd never count him out.

    Seems to me there are a few guys who have at least as good a shot as the guys you mentioned. Like Sage Coy Delta. Blake Glugowski Fairfield, Geoffrey Davis Wayne.

    Will Fort Wayne Semi State produce another state champion this year and if so who?
  18. Major Ursula

    it's hard enough to get kids to train when the weather is nice. I have 7 kids of my own and when you try to make anything a requirement these days you are going to receive some resistance. When you ask parents as a club coach to make sacrifices and then they spend lots of mullah so their son/daughter to compete and then you say they are required to drive to either South Bend,Yorktown at Perry Meridian orthey can't participate at state? We had a small circle to begin with now parents are saying let's take some time off. We are making it difficult to attract newcomers to this sport and retaining career wrestlers. Freestyle and Greco are like the fringe of an already fringe sport. If we truly are out to help kids get better and increase our level nationally then we must do away with this red tape. Make things simpler so the kids can wrestle. Sad to say we will not be attending ISWA State.

    The Chet has the best wrestling coach family tree. Congrats Rocky! This is for Sparta!
  23. Major Ursula
    not a shot? Some like green, some like brown, some like Red. Appreciate greatness when you witness it.
  24. Major Ursula
    It is what we train all summer for. Best "measuring stick" you can find in our own backyard. Win 3-4 matches and you are going places. Win it? You are on the podium at your own state tournament for sure and an early favorite as a finalist. Just my opinion.
