Perseverance

Silas Allred with some positive press on Flo.  2 away from the podium.  A foolish weight cut resulted in drastic underachieving at Freestyle.  The days of 170lbs are over.

Cadet AAs: Pokorney, Atkins and Allred, who lit up Fargo with some huge throws. 
Congratulations, gents

Noehre and Davison into the quarters. Cressell still in the wrestlebacks.

It's not talked about here often on this discussion board as others, but Darren Elkins has had quite the UFC career.  If you get a chance to watch Darren's last fight, you might be able to understand how tough of a guy Darren really is.  I watched the fight from my sofa with my wife, and to be honest.  I was hoping the ref would stop it because I can't see a situation where Darren would quit and I was worried for his safety........and 5 min later he knocks the guys out to get what some have called one of the best comebacks in the history of UFC.
 
Darren has his biggest fight of his career this Saturday on Fox if you get a chance to watch a fellow Hoosier as Co-Main event for UFC Fight Night.  

Mosconi with a nice 13-0 win over a tough Illinois wrestler to advance to semi where he'll meet up with stud Manville

Mosconi, Fielden and Pokorney into the semis. Lowery sews up an All-American finish. Freeman and Cottey fall in the blood round, with Cottey scoring 33 points in his 2 losses
Cadets will finish with 4 AAs

Indiana & Ohio *Ohio Mafia* come together to win High School Division. 8 Indiana wrestlers was on the Team and all wrestled lights out . All wrestlers All-American. Congrats ! 
 

I see a lot of AA's in that group. Give me Mosconi, Bryant, Allred, Pokorney, Moran, Konrath, B.+J. Lee, Davison, and Boyd with about 6-10 more that wouldn't be shocking.

Fargo, big pre-season events, and weight shifting will change things a decent amount, but here is their initial rankings  
http://www.flowrestling.org/ranking/2871-new-faces-new-rankings/2017-07-09/p4p
Pound for Pound #9 Parris
106. #20 Moran
145 #2 Brayton Lee (behind Sasso of PA)
145 #16 McIntosh
152 #1 Joe Lee
195 #13 Davison
220 #1 Parris ( initially he was slotted at #2 behind Schultz of CO but was moved up in the revision)
HWT #16 Pokorney
 
These rankings could set up a Who's #1 clash between B. Lee and Sasso.  It also could make meeting between Parris and Schultz unless Football gets in the way.  
 
Indiana is a little light on this list and with little Hoosier movement during the regular season (travel restrictions) hopefully we have some of our top guns participating in some of these spring and fall events.  

All of them except Jesse, Zeke, and Cheaney.  Not sure if Freeman will be big enough, but all the rest will be making immediate impacts for sure.

Honorable Mention: (Roberson, Munoz, Bryer Hall, Ty Lehman, Koontz, Erb, Sanderfur, Muncie, Baumann, Duncan, Goodwin, Nelson, Wagner, Timmerman, Heath, Ross, and Ison

Just a few names that I know of :

Avon Caden Hubner 220 
Avon Mo Aloosh 285 
 
Senior 
California move to Plainfield  Hassan Zwink unsure on weight . 
 
 
 
 
 

So I need to start getting my ducks in a row on the Semi State Rankings at least a general Who to watch list. Whos gonna make some noise in the Dirty South? Freshman? Jv kids moving up? Dark horses? lets get the names flowing!

Greenfield-Central has three going, Carter Noehre, Cooper Noehre, and Larry Evans will be competing in both styles in their respective age divisions. 
 
Also just a heads up, brackets will be on both track and Flo. You can currently see some of the guys that are signed up on FLOARENA

Best of luck to everyone competing. Very interested in seeing how Allred and Pokorney do. Allred has been impressive all year as a fresh, and Pokorney seems to keep improving at a fast rate.

Silas Allred will be wrestling 170 at Freestyle & 170/182 at Greco as a first year Cadet.  
Other notables I'm aware of, but not yet mentioned are.....Manzona Bryant-Cadet, Lucas Davison-Junior & Eli Pokorney-Cadet.  
These young men, as well as the wrestlers mentioned in the previous posts have a great chance to bring home All American honors......and potentially even more prominent accolades.  Plenty of other very capable studs making the trip as well. Team Indiana will be well coached, and well represented at multiple weight classes.
