I guess I would pick some of these too if I didn't know what I was talking about.

Portage 14 to ss

Harrison WL - 10 to EC

Not double digits but Prairie Heights taking 8 to Fort Wayne

Asa Garcia is the returning State Champ and undefeated, he should be ranked #1 and considered the favorite.  I am not referencing Perry, they gave their full blessings to the IHSAA. 

Perry had 12 champs and 2 runner ups. All 14 through.

We (Prairie Heights) were fortunate to be able to get our "B" team/jv team some varsity matches this season, due to a couple varsity squads not being able to compete on somewhat short notice.
 
Our coaching staff, the wrestlers, and the parents were very excited for the opportunities to compete against varsity competition. Normally we wrestle 3 JV tourneys where the kids normally get 3-4 matches each. Typically our jv guys will get 10-12 matches a year.
 
In 3 of our 4 weeknight duals matches this year, we wrestled 0 jv matches, due to lack of wrestlers on the opposing schools. In our other dual (Homestead), we wrestled 13 jv matches, plus the Varsity dual which made for a great night of wrestling.
 
We have been very blessed with great numbers at PH, averaging 30-36 wrestlers the past several seasons. Our "B" team this year went 8-6 in the two varsity super duals this season. Most of our jv guys ended up getting 20+ matches between the jv tourneys and varsity duals they competed in.
 
I feel this was a great thing for us. As someone mentioned earlier, it helps prepare some of the kids for full-time varsity next year. A few a them got their butts handed to them along the way this year, too. I would love to be able to run 2 squads again next year, and enter them both into varsity action (as long as I feel we are able to compete) or even set up some jv duals/super duals for a "B" team.
 
Some of our jv guys are juniors and I think only getting them the 10-12 jv matches a year is not enough and kids begins to lose interest when they know they might only wrestle 3 weekends out of the entire season.
 
I still prefer our current system: single class state series and the classed team state duals format. I would hate to see us go to a classed individual state series/sectionals/regionals/etc.
 
If we can't beat the best of the best, so be it. We have had some great dual matches with Yorktown, Lafayette Harrison, Jimtown, Garrett, Goshen the last few years. We hate losing, but it sure is fun when we are able to pick up the win over schools of that size/caliber. They are great rivalries and we love that we get to wrestle the type of schedule we have.
 
Just my two cents as we are small school.

Would have to go with the Harvest Classic. Can't beat the Pepinos sausage and homemade giardinarra.

Last season was no contest.  It was a landslide victory for Lafayette Harrison's War on the Wabash.
 
This year, however, without the Oreo pudding at Harrison, I've got to give the nod to the Lake County Tournament at Hanover Central due to the roasted garlic potatoes.

Let's put the shoe on the other foot now. We all know that the top 10% has JV kids that could go deep into the state series. What good does it do for them to go to a regular JV meet and throttle JV kids? That isn't going to help the sport either is it?

Are you agreeing that Nosko crushed us in matches that mattered?  I'm still not over it, and I think the Portage kid's arm is still stuck in his ear from Nosko's spiral.

Beautiful!! Thanks. Geez mention Littell get 5 replies in 2 minutes from PM clones..ask for video and ..crickets!
Plus I don't have to burn my #TheCounty shirt.

Great match coaches. Your guys wrestled great also and had great sportsmanship throughout the entire night. No matter the winner, that was an awesome dual meet for Indiana wrestling.
Good luck with the rest of your season.

Lawrene North 05 was pretty solid headlined by 3x Reece Humphrey, they also has 3- 3rd placers a 5th, 6th and qualifier. Also had Pino in that class who was 4th year before.

This is FALSE and ridiculous.
 
Best of luck to you Brayden.
