    I went to 3 different high schools:SB LaSalle, SB Washington, Fort Wayne Snider. In those days all were elite programs. There was no way back then that small schools could compete with us. Too many students. Too many career wrestlers. Those who couldn't afford it got free offseason training. I lived in Iowa for 15 years. Indiana puts on a better show grant it. Iowa has a 3 class system and let me tell you: The kids from Alburnett, and Don Bosco,(2A)were just as happy as the kids from Iowa City West and Southeast Polk(3A). Parents and whole communities are invested in the smaller schools. They cheer louder and literally have cheerleaders at matside! Imagine Churubusco at Banker's life, cheerleaders and all! Imagine Twin Lakes or Benton Central with several qualifiers and those entire communities present! The money, the pageantry, the recognition for the little guy! I'm not just agreeing with Clint because we both went to "The Chet"; I like the show Indiana puts on. I like that it's difficult to be a state qualifier. I just don't think our current format is fair to the little schools.

    . Tom Brady chest bumps hi fives, yells at teammates after a touchdown. Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson quietly go about their business. They all are Champions. If I defeat all comers I deserve a little celebration. It's a new age.

    I'm from the inner city and where I'm from if you want someone to lose arbitrarily, you are a hater by definition. Not big hate, little hate like a petty individual. That's not saying you personally. Just anyone who throws salt on this kid who represents our state like you would dream for your own kid. When I'm older and greyest, I'll be aw telling my grands about this kid with the talent,swagger, and mentality and fancy pants who did it big time with flare.

    Swallow his pride? He is ranked number 1 in the country. What more does he have to do? He didn't look huge to me. He looked like a 126lber. He wrestled 106 as a freshman. Nick Lee 126. No disrespect I believe Lee is bigger. James beat CJ in the offseason. CJ still won state. It's not CJ's job to wrestle Nick Lee. It's CJ's job to win state for New Pal and himself. All these mythical match ups mean nothing. All that he should make it happen stuff sounds to me like you want him to lose. That's terrible if you just want a kid to lose and he is not presently facing your kid, or a your kids teammate or club member. That's the unwritten rule or you sir have sour grapes. Nick Lee is great, matter of fact I had him against Micic. So nothing against him; who ever says they know for certain Lee would win are either clairvoyant or delusional.

    Hum....without throwing any kids "under the bus", no one but the Delta Staff,Me and Nostradomus(Nate Woenker) had Sage Coy winning semi-state. I believe Greco is a lost art form. Greco unlike any other "style"(I hate this word) the techniques can be used across all platforms. No offense but an Elite Greco wrestler can dominate wrestlers from our area because everyone is diving at knees. If you know inside position it's almost like bringing an atomic bomb to a pencil fight(I'm forcing it but not too much). I saw Coy at Jay County over the Holiday. I told my son and the whole Wayne contingent that there was no way anyone was beating this guy in our semi-state. I got laughs just like when I told Geoffrey Davis when his record was slightly above .500..there is no way he wasn't either. The day after Semi-State I had more likes on my website than the previous 2 years. I had more calls from parents and student athletes than the previous 3 years combined on Monday alone..some thought I trained Davis I said no his dad knows his stuff I worked with Davis last in 2013. Most people said after seeing Sage Coy at Semi-State they recalled me yelling Greco at several tournaments and some said they read topics on Indianamat gushing about my love of Greco. After watching Mr.Coy I wouldn't be certain to crown someone else just yet. Qualifying or not I can guarantee Greco State is going to be gaining numbers. Good Luck to all the wrestlers and coaches at state.

    One of the best articles written on here hands down. Y2 and I had our back and forths over the years but I must concede; you do a lot for Indiana wrestling. It's not easy to admit when you are wrong. GEN Heavy Handz was wrong when I was mocking you. We may not agree on who is going to win or who technique is superior; but we both love this sport. My sons were surprised when you gave them some pointers last year at RTC. They knew about the tense moments we had. You didn't hold my big mouth against them. That's classy stuff. Rivalries are good for the sport, I want to end our one-sided one now. Thanks for highlighting the Davis-Streeter Rivalry. We think it's special. ~Gen Weighty Paws.

    Thank you

    This is a million dollar question to me. If the answer is yes I may be a millionaire. If the answer is no I'm still a thousandnaire. For instance let's say I started the season at 119.2. My body fat percentage said I'm allowed to get as low as 115.6 however when I had my physical the doctor wrote a note that stated I could wrestle 113. Not by cutting weight but by using a proper a nutrition program can I recertify?
  10. Major Ursula
    3 Wayne kids advanced. Davis vs Dunten 3 is going down. Did you chest bump the air or nah?
  11. Major Ursula
    I began wrestling as a sophomore. 5-5 split varsity duty with my brother. Junior year had a breakout season because my uncles took us to freestyle and Greco and made us go to Penn and Mishawaka all summer to train. You can squeeze 3 regular seasons in the offseason. You can't replicate that. In 2013-14 my sons team had 8 guys wrestle off season 8 qualified for regional, 4 for semis-state, 1 state placer and a qualifier. This past year only 1 wrestler did the offseason. They had 4 regional qualifiers. Coincidence?
  12. Major Ursula
    When I read this I imagined your voice sounds like Squidward. Redundant non sequiturs aside we shall see.
  13. Major Ursula
    Dunten Vs Davis 3. No matter what the previous results say Boomer will predict later in the week that All the Eastside kids get out but mysteriously none of the Wayne kids will. At 113 a major upset will happen. You won't be able to tell the difference when Mr. Shipley yells Tanner or Heavy Handz yells Hammer. Mr. Woodson will be in attendance. Someone on Garrett's Coaching staff will do a chestbump. Half the kids won't make it out. Someone is going to be mad at me. Concessions will run out of quality protein. Mr Lorraine will lecture me about doughnuts. I'll buy a T-shirt or 4.
  14. Major Ursula
    you obviously haven't been following the results this year or you would know that at 120 Vasquez has beaten Nance twice. Only 2 Wayne guys advancing? When has that ever happened? Prepare to be disappointed.
  15. Major Ursula
    See we will never agree because our philosophy is different. The fact that you think because someone's record seems worse they are not good enough. Remember strength of schedule is not factored in. So a 21-11 7th seed may have 8 losses to ranked guys where as the 2nd seed is 20-3 and only wrestled one ranked guy. The second seed may not be better. We see it every year. Anyone complaining about their draw should have taken care of business during the regular season. That's what I meant. As for the stupid comment....stupid is as stupid does Mr. Troll.
  16. Major Ursula
    am I thick? Yes I weigh 220 at 5'4" that's fairly thick I'd say. I hope you are being facetious. If not you are dense. Your logic sounds like an 18 year old on JV. The dumbest thing to happen to wrestling is people whinning about seeds. To quote Littlevito "people need to quit whinning about fairness.....becoming more and more wimpier."
  17. Major Ursula
    This is not personal so please don't take it that way. I never understood why people are concerned about seeds. I hope every kid who enters a tournament, invite or sectional, steps to that line intent on winning. To win sectionals I have to beat everyone who steps to the line. So it doesn't matter if I wrestle the supposed best first or last I have to win. When I was a senior I was unseeded at Conference and in the rat tail. I won. Seeded second to an undefeated wrestler in sectionals I won. My son was the top seed at conference this past week...he was upset by the 8th seed. His sectional draw is one of his best buddies. Someone has to lose. That's one of the tough lessons we learn from wrestling in a one class system. Yet philosophically seeds are only someone's opinion on how good you are. Prove'em wrong.

    cool... I was there and specifically asked his mom and dad the score before posting and still got the score wrong but the result is correct.
  19. Major Ursula
    Daemon Williams dec Matt Schwarz in o t
  20. Major Ursula
    Geoffrey Davis dec Ben Streeter 11-6
  21. Major Ursula
    CJ has a great body of work but my fantasy match up be CJ against Betty Swanson(my granny). She held great position had heavy hands and never tipped the scales over 130. She also had a nice throw by and a mean duck under cradle. Far as I know she never lost a match at South Bend Central.
  22. Major Ursula
    Daemen Williams 24-0
  23. Major Ursula
    I've been wrong before but this one I am certain. Sam McCullough took the forfeit at 106. Skylour Turner pinned Davis early in the first.
  24. Major Ursula
    Tylor Triana, Ian Dembowski,Skylour Turner, Mason Miranda,Wyatt Miller, Warren Centrals Murphy or Murray
  25. Major Ursula
    sorry I got the score wrong I was too happy must have missed a late reversal. The week before I didn't come on and Say Geoff was sick or Injured or got done in by the ref. no excuses just 2 great wrestlers battling. Davis has come along way lets give them both there due for 2 exciting matches and I'm sure these won't be the last.
