Perseverance

Silas won back 2 back Trips and would have likely coasted through Cadet again this year (no disrespect to other Cadet 195’s).  The gameplan was to wrestle Junior 195 for better matches and preparation for a heftier Triple Crown of the National variety.
 But even with the USAW National Folkstyle Stop Sign on the mantle.......I figured I’d break the bad news.  Silas didn’t compete over the weekend due to a slight tear in his meniscus.  Surgery is needed and he’ll be out 6-8 weeks post-op.  That unfortunately is going to make the OTC Training Camp and Fargo not possible for him. Discouraging......yes, very.  But.....thankfully just a bump in the road. Could’ve been much worse.  Prayers for a quick recovery is genuinely appreciated.
In the meantime......he’ll be getting healthy, hitting the iron pile hard on his upper body......and mentally beginning to set his sights on IHPO and Super 32.  Congratulations to all the Champs this weekend.  Keep the momentum rolling fellas and go pound some outta towners at Cadet/Junior Duals and especially Fargo!!!  The Allred’s will be with you in Spirit!

Pistol just not seeing what’s the big deal ISWA Triple Crown is ? 
Your not seeing HS best at ISWA Folkstyle State, or even Freestyle. Most sit out Folkstyle after a long HS Season. Right ? 
I’d say a IHSAA State Title & Double Fargo Championship would be my Triple Crown . JS, IHO 
Wooooo ... Bang ! Bang ! Bang !

Qualifing gate slowed up Jesse. But... I’m pretty sure that he still has to have the most???? 
Davidsons have to be up there too.

All-American Ty Mills takes 8th Place 

Asa!!!! Gets the takedown with 1 second left to take third! 
Avon brings home two 3rd place medals. Proud of my boys! 

2x Flo National Champion Mason Parris Wins by Pin 

All-American Mendez takes 3rd (4-3)

Mason Parris with another match against a first year schoolboy for his second flo title. 

All-American Donnell Washington finishes in 8th place 

All-American Carson Brewer takes 3rd over Michigan (3-1) OT

Mendez , Garcia, Combust, Rumph, Brewer all win and will be wrestling for 3rd & 4th later today . Awesome Job Fellas 

Not the best semi-finals round for our guys, but in all fairness they have been the underdog/lower seed in every match they’ve lost, with the exception of the Indiana vs. Indiana match at 132.
Assuming Mason is in the championship, two finalists and about seven others guaranteed top 6 is still a pretty stellar tournament for Indiana. 

132 Semis have Manzona Bryant vs. Kris Rumph and Dawson Combest vs. Mosha Schwartz, Wyoming Seminary

Indiana Gold finishes runner-up to a very talented Illinois Outsiders squad.  Great effort by these young men and coaches.  Undefeated wrestlers going 7-0 for Team IN Gold included......
120-Watts
145-Slivka
182-Allred
285-Pokorney
Multiple other 1 or 2 loss records on the Gold squad, with W’s against legit opponents.
Blue Team and the Indiana Renegade Teams also had some outstanding individual performances as well.  Great effort collectively by these Indiana student-athletes.

I respect your opinion.  But I think these young men at 170-220 are well prepared.  Especially 182 & 220.
182-State 5th, 2018 USAW Folkstyle Cadet National Champ, 6-1 at this same tourney last year.
220-State 5th, 2018 USAW Folkstyle Nationals Junior 4th.
170 & 195 both very capable young men.
Should be an enjoyable, very competitive weekend. 

Goodluck to all Indiana Wrestlers & Teams . 
Woooooo.... Bang ! Bang ! Bang
