Davison and McMurray finally unite?! I kid I kid
-
Few years back the Moran brothers lost a year of eligibility when transferring to Portage from CP. I certainly do not know the entire story of what happened, I was coaching during that time at Portage, and I was more upset that Jonathan lost his senior year because of the block. I don’t know the story behind Penn and C. Carroll, but my view is if they want to move to another district, school or what have you let them. I don’t care what their reasoning is, a state title isn’t worth a kids future in my eyes. Why block a kid from success just to have your head get bigger. It could possibly hurt kids in the long run for scholarships and such just because you’re upset they didn’t want to wrestle for you. Just my opinion, don’t try to pick it apart because you won’t change my mind. -TJ

I’m not saying choose me, but I did coach Jason Tsirtsis to a VA beach high school freshman national championship. 1-0 in national finals. -

I was pulling for him to go out on top. -
All state? State finalist... what do you call'em
RaiderColfax replied to formercollegekid's topic in Past Discussions
Portage hangs a picture in the hallway by the concessions and gym of state placers and all state for all sports. In the wrestling room we have banners of the state champs and a state placers board as do most schools I’m sure -

What happened to Logan Miller? Hate to see this -
Koontz is a beast, he is my pick at the top of the podium for 32.
-
Sean McMurray would’ve ran through this bracket...
-
It’s insane to watch him with my own eyes to be developed by Eric Keith into just a stud. Literally came in the room and Keith saw something in him and said he was going to be a champ. Sophomore year goes out against red in the semis and battles for a bit before getting pinned, goes up against black who is another seasoned wrestler and finishes second and senior year the kid was just a monster blowing through people with his blast double. What’s funny was in high school he didn’t understand top and bottom. Shoot he didn’t even know how to properly ride someone his senior year. But he is just soooo explosive it didn’t matter. I love watching the kid wrestle and work hard.
-
Ahhh talking about one of my favorite wrestlers to ever watch develops into an absolute stud! I think Kris could place pretty high, give him a coach that will work on his little mistakes and he could be fighting for a natty. The kid has all the ability in the world to be a champ

IN vs IL All Star Classic Duals March 14th, 15th **Postponed**
RaiderColfax replied to Academy's topic in Past Discussions
@CpDinger I remember you asking about this -
It also lets those small school kids get more matches in. I get the level of competition for some of these schools is greatly lowered than those of the bigger schools. But it’s high school, I’m all for giving every opportunity to kids to go further in wrestling and education.
-
well they put a thumping on culver(68-12 and cathedral(40-16) in 2018. So I don’t know if that was the reason lol but DCC always has a great squad every year. I just can’t remember if that’s the tourney portage couldn’t go to because of a team from 300 miles out or not.
-
Well for instance, Portage couldn’t attend the DCC super duals the following year I believe it was, because DCC had a team outside of our 300 mile rule come. With the possibility of a match up portage couldn’t attend. I really think it was DCC but don’t quote me lol
-
I’m just wondering though, would a 2nd class be helpful to these smaller schools for that reason?
-
Portage wrestled at DCC in 2015-16 winning the dual 41-22 if I remember right.
-
Would it benefit these smaller school wrestlers for more scholarships offers if Indiana were to have a 2 class system? I agree I think saying ‘Indiana state champ’ sounds great, but if it’s going to benefit a kids chances of getting a scholarship I’m for it.
-
I believe they can’t wrestle a team outside of 300 miles as well. So if you travel 100 miles you can’t wrestle a team from Florida. I think that is a terrible rule.
-
I remember like it was yesterday. Took down the mighty mater dei. Then come one match short or winning a team state title
-
Correction, portage beat MD in ‘04 then lost to LN in the semis. Give us some credit for being the first team ever to beat MD in the team state dual format lmao
-
Agree with @Mattyb. Shoot some people who never won a state title thought my brother would get smoked his senior year by a couple kids. There is a reason why these kids are state champs and some of them highly ranked in the country. I think it’s silly to say one state champ would smoke another. I don’t find this thread silly, I enjoy the what if scenarios and the discussion on why someone chose that outcome.
-
The 125 pounder was dustin schlatter lol
-
Didn’t that ‘03 st Paris team feature dustin and cp schlatter, Cameron doggett and David Erwin? Geez that’s a squad right there.
-
Dickens NOR slivka smoke either one. They are both great wrestlers. Dickens would control neutral game, slivka would control the top game. The kid was down by 5 to my buddy DJ at state and came back to win because of his brutal top game. It’s really a toss up. Dickens could win 5 and slivka could win 5 in 10 matches.
