Cool moment when in betwwe sessions he walked out into lobby while everyone was waiting in line and the whole olace broke out into applause

This just goes to prove the fact that rankings don't mean anything. Those who get caught up in all the rankings need to raise their expectations. If you focus on training for the top 5%, it's an expectation to beat anyone and everyone in Indiana. Stock winning a state title was a surprise to everyone but the people who trained him. Nobody in the state deserved it more! #getdownorlaydown

Glad to be able to gloat a little without "rubbing it in peoples face" All thos nights wrestling in a garage under kerosene heaters, doing whatever it took to get better paid off. So proud of that dude.
 
VanHorn coming over and shaking his parents hands was pure class, kudos to him

Honesty one of the better things ive witnessed at the finals in 25 years.

How about #16 ranked Stock over #2 ranked Webster

Van horn gets beat and his coaches walk off and leave him in a heap of tears. Thats crap imo

We looked for some old ones for Monrovia but couldnt get in time

How about the warm up robes.  I seen some college is bringing them back

this is all you need to know.

when I see B Lee TFall kids at semi state in a minute and a half, that's pretty damn electric to me

Ben Stewart got as rough as anyone could have with Tonte Saturday and that didn't work out to well for him.   And I don't think that you could find anyone tougher or rougher than Stewart.   

No offense to any kid in 220, but Parris will not be challenged in any of those matches.

Columbus east...

I understand very well what the match up meant and the outcome meant. doesnt mean that everyone else does. My statement was what others have verbally stated and posted.  Simple as that.  You came in and took the conversation a completely different direction.  I may have said in one thread that i was disappointed he wasnt ranked and in one tweet.  If you choose to make those two things sound as if its me constantly riding indianamat for anything, then your preception isnt reality.  My opening words were even in wow of the Brooks.  Your rankings dont earn anyone a thing, it aint that deep to me bub

yes please. there are many who miss some of the big guys who are a blast to watch. Rickey from Bburg has become one of my favorite wrestlers to root for and watch.  And this weekend I caught Ripple (sp?) for the first time, so glad I did.

You've done a great job with the Stocks..I've seen them both a few times this year and they are game as anybody...What also impressed me beside the van horn win was How @160 Stock dominated Carson Brewer (who beat mazzero @170 as well) ...I've seen Brewer all year and had him placing top 8...beating Brewer is a feather in any one cap let alone a major..I'll be rooting am the Mooresville regional Lord knows @170 they all had to grind through to state and it will show come state, that the 4 killers are ready for the big stage. 
SO whoever Drew Nick's Son Ciccerelli, be ready for a STRONG wrestler that has lost and won VERY close matches vs the best in the state...Tony C is very hard to score on...He beat my nephew twice this year in some physical matches and it made him tougher going forward for his Jr and Sr years...Plus he's going to JROB 28 day camp and wrestling fresh sophomore state to stay active...Trizton competing vs Webster,and Horn and Ciccerelli helped get him ahead of the curve for being a sophmore@170..he outscored his opponents 42-2 in 3 matches that were 4 minute matches at The qualifier this past Sunday..hopefully Allred,Brady Pease and minnick get some mat time at fresh-sophomore state and we get a good semi of 4 of the future big guys that will Imho be placers and possible Champs in the coming years.

How about

48-17 on Friday night (.738 win pct.) and 9 state champions in 13 seasons.

Burk is really tough. I'm not sure anyone is unbeatable. But both stock brothers have wrestled great all year. The last couple of weeks they have proved that they were severely under ranked by me. Hopefully they stay hot and can get under the lights Saturday. Many people will call this a upset based on a low ranking but they are proving that is where they belong good luck and keep grinding.
