One of the computers did go down for 40 minutes, so close. 

I know I caused a slowdown when I caught that the consos were running 2,2,2 and one of my guys got pinned in 1:09 in the first period.

Lawrenceburg Double dual featuring Lawrenceburg, Milan, and Greensburg was canceled this past weekend due to Lawrenceburg playing at football state. 11/26/2022

We're at 12 this year. Most years we start with around 16-20 and by Christmas break we're down to 12-14. This year, those kids that would normally quit didn't even come out. It sucks having the room seem empty but at least it's 12 kids that want to be there from day 1.

It has been a looooong time since my son wrestled middle school matches. When did they start qualifying for this event. It used to be if you thought you were good, you showed up and saw what you were made of.

I remember winning my conference tournament in 7th grade and thinking I was hot stuff. Then I went dos and adios at state. That was a real eye opener.

That's too bad.

Did Rider Searcy from East Central move? He's conspicuously absent from both State and SS rankings.

Bryant Merritt of Greensburg was a ticket rounder last year at 113 and will be returning at the same weight this year as well.

IHSAA blocked me on Twitter!! They can do that, but not fix the issue

Wow.

This is dumb. The people who had this idea are dumb.

If it's the Evansville semi state shouldn't it stay in Evansville? Anyway, Assembly Hall would be terrible. The Ford Center is a great setup. 

The Ford Center is a great setup. It's also in no way a centralized location for the semistate. It's in the backyard for the local teams and over 3 hrs away for others.

While we're at fixing semistate locations, go ahead and book Assembly Hall for the Evansville semistate.

I'll always support wrestling mats in Mackey. That place would get loud too.

All of new castle was cheering for Heather in the ticket round.

Unless it happened during lunch break, I didn't hear it.

Is all of the info from the original post still up to date and accurate? I have a couple seniors who have shown some interest this year.

Rule 4-2 sec 2 (in part) Physical hair treatment items that are hard and/or abrasive such as (beads, bobby pins, barrettes, pins, hair clips, etc. or any other hair control device) shall not be permitted. A legal device hair-controlled such as rubber band(s) shall be secured so as not to come out readily during wrestling. A wrestler may contain his/her in a legal hair cover. The legal hair cover, if worn, shall be attached to the ear guards. A bandanna is not considered legal hair covering. The legal hair covering must be of a solid material and be nonabrasive. The wrestler opting to wear a legal hair cover must wear it to the weigh-in procedure and be checked for grooming with it on. The legal hair cover must be removed prior to the wrestler stepping on the scale to be weighed. If the referee is not present at weigh-ins, the hair cover must be checked by the meet referee upon arrival at the site.

 

Thank you. I thought this was the case now, but wanted to make sure.

Could someone give me a reminder of the rules in regards to long hair now? It's changed a lot in the last several years and I can't find my rule book.

BTFU! POTFH!

They have new coaching staff this year, maybe if we get lucky things will get better.

I'll stick up for the former Connersville coaches on this one. They ALWAYS pushed for wifi and track wrestling in the Spartan Bowl. They went to their AD with a presentation of how it would improve the tournament and improve the revenue for the school if they spent the money to modernize the tournament but still got shot down every year. It's really a shame, this part of the state could really use a high-quality holiday tournament.

Awful to hear. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and teammates of Kamm.

This calls to mind the scene in Office Space when the guy proposes a "Jump to Conclusions Mat."

"That is the worst idea I've heard in my life."

"Yes it is horrible, this idea."
