To be honest it seems like someone is just butt hurt they can't take a team so they are trying to find ways to talk down about a pretty solid tournament that has been going on for years before the gorillas were even in thought. Real classy move to try and ruin people's seasons for next year because you are butt hurt. Way to grow Indiana wrestling.

My top 3

1.) Breyden Bailey

Career record: 182-5 (3 losses in semis, 2 out of state to the #3 kid in the country)

Cathedral wrestles a tough schedule

State placings- (3,3,3,1)

4th at super 32

Ranked 12th on intermat, 13th on flowrestling.

NIU commit

2.) Andrew Davison

2017 Mental Attuide Award

couldve been a 2x Champ if wasnt for a guy named Mason Parris

Let's hear it. Who are your picks to win the whole thing after this weekend!?

Does anyone have a chance this weekend to accomplish this rare achievement? And also how common has it been and who's done it as well in the last decade?

Kids get better from freshman year man... just my opinion. But I get what you are trying to say.

It wasn't a pounding. Bailey beat him 3-1 at gfc then in overtime at super 32. So it would be another great match if it were under the lights or at state. I think Konrath is 2 or 3 points better than reitz. We are talking about a Fargo champ/runner up vs someone who hasn't placed at a major national tournament his whole hs career. Bailey creates a weird style match up for Konrath, but I believe reitz cannot stop Konrath on his feet.

Since we have a topic discussion based off #1 guys on confidence pools, let's hear your picks to win at bankers life and put them 1-14 from most confident to least confident. Here are mine.

220- Mason Parris

145- Brayton Lee

152- Joe Lee

113- Asa Garcia

132- Breyden Bailey

182- Nathan Walton

195- Andrew Davison

160- Brad Laughlin

285- Evan Ellis

126- Graham Rooks

170- Burk Vanhorn

138- Zach Melloh

120- Tylor Triana

106- Seth Johnson

Cathedral

Here is my two cents on the topic of why we shouldn't have classed wrestling.

For one our states population and wrestling depth does not compare to other surroundings states or powerhouses. Implementing a class system would sort of ruin the competitive nature and excitement our state wrestling tournament brings upon us. In my opinion, the key to establishing a powerhouse program starts from the youth scene. You see all of these top 10 programs, and all you have to do is look at their youth programs. The best teams and the ones who can compete have a steady balanced youth program. For example, Avon has had their youth program rolling with these last couple incoming classes in '19 and '20 that grew up wrestling together on the youth scene. You also throw that in with training at contenders. This is the prime reason why they are on the rise. All the best coaches know this is the system to create a powerhouse program. You see brownsburg is just now starting to rise on the youth scene as well as warriors of Warren Central. This also shows in the smaller classes as well. Shennandoah has had that same group of boys, along with a great youth club that has allowed them be able to compete with the states best no matter how big or small their school is.

From the how do we get this middle class to rise, it's got to be summer wrestling. With the rise in private clubs in Indiana, there are plenty of oppurtunities between Contenders, Indiana Outlaws, CIA, Indy pride, etc. if Indiana as a whole wants to become better, we must talk to these kids in competing and training as much as possible in the offseason.

Where else? Is everyone else on a break until sectionals? I know Cathedral is headed to Mason, OH for some tournament and I believe the 132 finals match is gonna be a good one and definitely worth the drive and the price of admission alone

Any good matches this weekend before sectional week?

Brownsburg I could see them possibly getting 4 this year b/w Campbell, mills, mulkey, lee and Walton. Cathedral has a legitimate chance too. little bailey, slivka, big bailey, melloh and stewart.

The real question is.. is that a legal move by PM. You are only allowed to lose a certain amount of weight per week per your body fat test. Pretty tough for a lean wrestler like Littell to be legally certified to cut down to 106.0 from his last weigh in from now to sectionals. I am hearing rumors people are on the look out for it..

Garcia,

Your son is very good, but also has lost to multiple kids who aren't ranked. Going 2-2 at super 32 and a dnp at Fargo in cadets is justified as to why he isn't ranked.

@ Cathedral

126: tim wright over Jordan slivka 5-3

132: Breyden Bailey pinned culp

The Morans aren't eligible currently.

Now that we are one week in and we all have a better idea where some kids are going, who are you taking and who's in the team race?

Looks like flo was impressed with breyden Bailey as well with him getting mentioned as one of the breakout wrestlers of the tournament, so I'm guessing we will see him in the updated rankings http://www.flowrestling.org/article/47375-the-breakout-performers-of-super-32

He lost to a kid from Mason,OH I believe

He majored him last year, it wasn't as close as the score deceived last time. If you were there you would've saw. He controlled the whole match and was in no danger of losing.

Bailey over Holmes???? Holmes has never beaten Bailey ever....
