    Having spent a bit more time in Iowa over the past few months, I've spoken to quite a few other UI athlete's parents about how Iowa HS sports offered and believe there's some interesting tidbits that Indiana may wish to ponder. 
    1. Schools let athletes compete in more than one sport in a season.
    2. Track and baseball are not in the same season.
    3. There are four sport athletes (and a few 5 sport athletes) given #1 & #2 above.
    4. Not every team or individual makes the post season, decreasing number of tournament weekends.
    5. They play state final games and wrestle state finals series during the week due to multiple class structure.
     
    My kid wanted to play MS basketball but was told by school admins he had to choose btwn wrestling or basketball and wouldn't be allowed to do both. Choice made for him.
     
    During late elementary years, he really liked baseball. Could bang them over the fence before anyone else in Little League, but daddy ball politics soured that really quickly. Started wrestling GR/FR during "baseball season" and a few years later placed at Fargo...
     
    Do think that multiple sport participation can help combat burnout for athletes later in HS - often different friend/teammate circles, pressures/expectations are different, etc. 
     
    However, if the kid desires to get to an elite level with aspirations of making it to college to compete, then extra time, practices and sacrifices have to be made to reach that dream. In Division 1, football offers 85 full "headcount" scholarships and basketball has 13; then all the rest of the sports have equivalency scholarships: wrestling 9.9, baseball 11.7, etc. So, if the goal is to go on a ride to college, play the numbers math -- baseball is not it if you're not a pitcher or Babe Ruth...
     
    My kid was lucky he had a choice whether to play football or wrestle collegiately in the B1G, but the wrestling training in the "off season" is what prepared him to be able to make that choice and specifically with the training that Chad Red (C-Red) provided which is so much more than what is only on the mat...
     
    So rather than pressure kids that have dreams to wrestle after HS to play baseball, run CC/track, etc., help them find a way to train and travel to get those opportunities presented to them through their body of work. 
     
    When speaking to parents with young kids, I often suggest 1 team sport and 1 individual sport to narrow down to as they get closer to middle school which usually works except for baseball where the pressure is for year around training and travel teams. (There's a good reason DSG and other companies are heavy promoters of youth sports... hahaha...) The intense schedules of basketball travel & baseball travel are atrocious... At least w/ wrestling off season tournaments, you get to choose whether or not to go and it doesn't impact the team, etc.
     
    So, circling back around to the divisions question... How's this sound?
    Make 2 divisions, Eliminate sectionals Must qualify for a regional and add wrestlebacks (maybe throw a "true second" round in for seeding purposes and extra drama) & advance 3 to state Run state over multiple days w/ wrestlebacks but no true second round for state finals

    I see the sarcasm, but to that point: you would get a $25K tax write-off as a consolation and get some of it back.  😉

    Well unfortunately, he wouldn’t be able to officiate his kids matches. Did you ever think that if officials would get some calls correct there wouldn’t be any questioning. His job as a coach is to fight for his wrestlers, and to fight to get calls for his guys. I saw so many egregious calls today. It was embarrassing.

    It’s crazy that he did wrestle through an injury and won semi-state. Not to mention beat the kid that he “wouldn’t wanna wrestle twice”.

    I just glanced the bracket and only 2 of the top ten teams as of now are ranked in the top 20 for boys (lake central at 14 and new pal at 18) This parity is great and hopefully the success of these programs will help those teams grow their boys team. more parity is nothing but upside for indiana wrestling. These girls don't realize how instrumental they are in the future of our sports, I consider them our saviors. Keep it upp ladies and coaches grow it!
