With the implementation of the 3 point takedown, will all takedown records now be untouchable?

Previously 15 takedowns was roughly a tech but now it would be done in 7-8 takedowns.

See… I’m going blind, Tech/Pin Malone . 

Boyd did beat him in the regular season.  I think that it would be close but I'll still give it to Boyd.  Sometimes those 3rd place matches at State can get a little funny.

I am a Fort Wayne guy and I think that Fort Wayne wins at 106, 144, 157, 165, 175, and 215.  That is 6 and I think they could get 1 more match at either 120, 138, or 285.  I know the Mooresville Regional would be a favorite over all 3 Semi-States on paper but I was impressed how close I think Fort Wayne is to them.  I chose to compare to Fort Wayne because I am a Fort Wayne guy.

After rereading it, I can see how it reads as disrespectful but I think it is noteworthy they are close (since Mooresville had 6 champs) and not looking to disrespect but just thought it would be a fun scenario.

No disrespect intended for FW on the post.  Thought It'd be a fun scenario and I do think it would be competitive.  Really don’t think we’re that far away from FW being competitive with New Castle with the training centers and consistent growth we’ve seen.

What's the point of this? Based on last week's wrestling the Mooresville regional would win at least 6 of the 14 weights against the rest of the state's all stars. They might even get to reverse a couple losses 

They go by the “5th Semi State” and I was curious how well they would stack up.  I could see Fort Wayne getting to 7 in this duel. 

What's the score?

106 - Malone (Monrovia) v Boyd (Delta)

113 - Dickman (Brownsburg) v Bollinger (Delta)

120 - Larocca (Center Grove) v Tishner (Western)

126 - Rioux (Avon) v Daniels (Union City)

132 - Hockaday (Brownsburg) v Bradley (Cowan)

138 - Ison (Brownsbirg) v Wood (Jay County)

144 - Courtney (Center Grove) v Doster (New Haven)

150 - Kresja (Center Grove) v Elkins (New Haven)

157 - Day (Brownsburg) v Betz (Western)

165 - Derringer (Brownsburg) v Myers (Belmont)

175 - Clouser (Center Grove) v Leech (Garrett)

190 - Henry (Brownsburg) v Cressell (Wabash)

215 - Brewer (Brownsburg) v Martin (Belmont)

285 - Johnson (Center Grove) v Hartleroad (DeKalb)

This is exactly right.   Anything left over on Saturday can be sold for half price.  

Make all ticket single session tickets and not all sessions.  Otherwise Saturday is going to be nearly 30% empty when all the Friday kids who lose (and their family/friends/fans) buy an all sessions ticket and then don’t come back on Saturday.  We want the fieldhouse to be as full as possible. 

I’m all for Ticketmaster assigned seating.  I’d love if they could allocate larger ticket #’s to schools and guarantee them all to be in the same area.  I don’t like that schools are spread across the venue.  No all sessions tickets but tickets for session’s 1, 2, and 3 all sold separately.  After being spoiled with assigned seats, I don’t want to go back to the general admission seat fighting haha. 

Brownsburg 3-Peat 2024-2026 incoming. 

I know we don’t know who goes what weight next year but here are my early ‘25 title contenders:

Returning Champs -

Schoettle

Dickman

Hockaday

Doster

Cressell

Weaver

Impressed me this weekend -

Jendreas

Schaefer

Shepherd

Pellot

Henry

8th Graders -

Bell (Avon)

Staples (Crown Point)

Any early ‘25 champs I’m missing?

Enjoy your vacation John

3 > 1

Fort Wayne > East Chicago

I agree.  Ref missed the call.  It’s sports and missed calls happen, nothing bad on the ref at all.  With how the match went, and how healthy (or unhealthy) Walker looked, I still think Doster gets it done.

The fan attendance was the biggest upset 

How full is the crowd?  Should seat about 10k people?

Finals start at 8:30 EST.  Is that matches or the face off?

Should consolation matches at state have 1 minute first periods?  Always thought it was weird that the guys wrestling for 3rd place in the state only have a 5 minute match. 

.

Semi Finalists:

Crown Point - 5

Brownsburg - 6

Center Grove - 4

Sincere question.  Is this a takedown?

Looked like they missed a locked hands on Thornton at the end before the escape that would have tied that match.

There have been a couple missed locking hands in crucial matches today. 

How common is it for IN to have TWO nationally ranked wrestlers lose on Friday Night?  Feels like this usually never happens. 

I know I know.  Im going to regret this.  One of my bold predictions is Cathedral goes 3/7 on Friday night.  Bringing Cathedrals Friday Night % down to a “measly” 74.6%.

What Semi State champs should be on upset alert Friday Night?

What are the best matches to rewatch for fan entertainment from all 4 semi states today?

Any SS bracket changes?
