Congratulations to Max Amberger for qualifying for state at 285. This is Batesvilles first state qualifier since 1993.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out regarding Preston.  Results of a CT scan and other tests have come back.  Nothing is broken and he will make a full recovery.  
 
As far as what happened, the Mater Dei wrestler had been winning the entire match.  An illegal slam was called.  It was not intentional.  Whether it was an illegal slam or not, I don’t really care.  We were never taking a dive.  Brownsburg doesn’t roll like that.  It goes against everything we believe in.  If I thought it was intentional, It would be a different story.  There is no doubt in our mind that it was just a result of two dudes trying to punch their ticket to state. 
 
It was pretty chaotic as all of this was happening as I’m sure you can all imagine.  Given that it was a neck/head injury, I wanted to give medical people access to Preston.  Once they had time to check Preston out, I took that opportunity to talk to Preston.  There was never any talk or consideration of taking a dive. Preston would never do that.  He was in a lot of pain and upset.  He has had a lot of adversity this season. He tore his ACL at IHPO and has been working through that pain and frustration all season.  I just explained to Preston what had happened and that I was going to forfeit the match.  I told him we were losing…and it would not be fair to take the trip to state away from the Mater Dei kid.  Preston agreed and said he would never do that.  There was no reversal of the call or anything.  I just went up to officials and said we are forfeiting the match.  
 
Whoever said Preston was walking around saw someone else.  He was taken out on a stretcher and to the emergency room.

You'll want to bring your own chairs.  The tournament is held between the field house and main gym.  The main gym has typical bleacher seating while the fieldhouse (SAC) has portable bleachers that fill quick and are not comfortable.

Davidson-  Best P4P wrestler in Indiana.   He should get this.

did Mason Parris break a sweat today? pinned everyone within a minute!!

i dont know if he is the best of all time but i can tell you this mason is the most humble kid that i have ever met and the crazy thing is he might be a better football player. but the best thing about him is he is a great person he is never too busy to talk to a youth wrestler or get his picture taken with them. lets not put a bigger bulleye on him than he already has. good luck this year mason as your real season is about to start i know my kid and i will be cheering you on!!

He is pretty great more than likely will be a 3 time State champ with only one loss name someone else that did that at a heavier weight class. Oh and he just beat the 4th and 5th ranked wrestlers in country!!
