Someone please tell the rest of the 120 guys left in the state to make sure they leave their head in the locker room so Dunn can’t get ahold of it.  

Emerine Floyd is out

It truly is sad that parent/fans lower themselves to ridicule at 16-18 year old kid. Good chance they are disappointed how they’re lives turned out. IMO
 

The feeler kid at 106 doesn’t cut much weight and is a pretty big 106. Maybe not enough technique. But, don’t make a mistake. Very strong little guy. 

Enjoy everybody, I'll be either at Bluegrass Nationals w/ Little 3B or staring at ice out my window. See everybody next week at Evansville, the night before party will be at Bally's, bring your own weapon and don't wear a Yankees hat (RIP Pingleton) !

Best under radar Match - 120: Dominic Mcfeely, Cascade vs. Keith Parker, Ben Davis. Coach Q has to go against one of his old students……. 
 
Best wrestler You’ve never heard of - Sam Allen, Whiteland. A Semi-State Quarterfinalist at Hwt as a frosh. He sat out last year at Franklin and then lost a ½ season of eligibility when he moved to Whiteland. Allen might be on the podium in 2 weeks at GainBridge. 
 
Mooresville Storyline - Getting to meet up with the ELITE crew of @TeamGarcia, @Mattyband @JMILL….. Not really…. The 2 year feud of Ison and Schoeff will keep on moving towards Evansville. Last weekend ended in a controversial DQ. Can Schoeff cook up the recipe to knock off Ison this weekend??

Best under the radar match - See the 106 matches above. Don’t be late!!
 
Best wrestler You’ve never heard of - Hey sometimes we miss kids, it appears that I’ve missed Mt. Vernon 182lber Derek Hollinger. He brings in a record of 34-2 and won a tough Evansville Central sectional last weekend to put him in the driver’s seat this weekend. 
 
Castle Storyline - The concession stand and Beer timeouts in the parking lot be damned! It’s all about 1-9-5!!! Sollars/Purdy 3!!! Can Willman play any type of spoiler?? Another controversial match last weekend. What will happen this time?!?!?!
 
Bloomington South 
 
Head to Head 1st Rd matchups of ranked wrestlers - (SR/SSR)
 
126 - NR/#15 Logan Moore vs. #24/#11 Kelby Glenn, Tell City
132 - NR/#9 Xavier Horton, Southridge vs NR/#13 Coy Bender, Terre Haute South
145 - #17/#6 Nicholas Castellucio, Bloomington South vs #23/#5 Tyler Lee, Northview (Curtain Jerker)
145 - NR/#13 Jakcson Neibert, Indian Creek vs NR/#14 Carson Niehaus, Southridge (Curtain Jerker)
152 - NR/#5 Logan Cain, Owen Valley vs. NR/#6 Ian Geisler, Jasper
170 - NR/#16 Rylan Hendricks, West Vigo vs #2/#2 Codei Khawaja, Floyd Central
220 - #18/#7 Garron Jenkins, Floyd Central vs NR/#11 Dalton Simmons, Northview
 
Best under the radar match - 106: Rollin Douglas Floyd Central vs Luke Neibert Indian Creek
 
Best Wrestler You’ve never heard of - 152lber Jaden Grant of New Albany, the Senior Bulldog has quietly put together a brilliant senior season. He had a great sectional knocking off sectional favorite Geisler from Jasper and state ranked DuPont from Tell City. If he makes the finals at regionals he will have the tall task of Delaney Ruhlman of Bloomington South. 
 
Bloomington South Storyline - There are two storylines here - Last weekend Bloomington South was quietly knocked off of the Sectional Champ podium and by Terre Haute South (congrats Coach Cook!) and actually finished 3rd behind uprising Owen Valley. Add in Floyd Central and Tell City this week and there’s a 5 team banger for the Regional Championship, literally almost every match will have some type of impact on the team race. It should be a great day of wrestling!
 
The other story line is 126 - I’ve received emails and messages all year about Branson Weaver (He’s being slept on), Paul King (I’ve never witnessed a kid so motivated), Harrison May (That May kid is slick and really good), and Kelby Glenn (Sleeper). So Saturday, Lettttttssss Gettttttt Readdddyyyyy Tooo Rumbllllleeeeee……

 
Jeffersonville 
 
Head to Head 1st Rd matchups of ranked wrestlers - (SR/SSR)
 
182 - NR/#16 Noah Phelps, North Harrison vs #14/#7 Jaden Durnil, Columbus East
195 - #12/#5 Evan Clayton, Jeffersonville vs NR/#15 Bryce Abner, Columbus North
 
Best under the radar match - 132 - Noah Cain Jeffersonville vs. Jason Shuey Columbus North, potential 4 over 1, Shuey is a returning regional runner up.
 
Best Wrestler You’ve never heard of - Lody Cheatham, Borden. Cheatham is a Cambellsville signee and is just a second year wrestler at a second year program. He’s comprised a record of 54-6 in 2 years and hopes to becomes Borden’s first ever State Qualifier. In a sneaky weight class loaded with veteran wrestlers, he should be the favorite


 

One of the major reasons that we love this sport is because it is a combination of physical, mental, and emotional.  Wrestlers will, a lot of times, reflect their coaches.  As has been said above.  Coach it in them all of the time and consistently.  Remind them that when they are wearing that singlet it is just them representing their school, coaches, team.  There aren't other players representing at that particular moment.  How they act, and react, is a reflection on all of them.  That is the view that everyone is getting of your entire school at that particular moment.

I have a dog in this one (a bulldog actually!)
I miss going to Jeff two weekends in a row, coming from Louisville it was nice to be able to sleep in a little.  
Maybe the EPA can look into the realignment.  Seems like an excessive waste of diesel for the Floyd County teams to pass the Tell City bus on the way to sectionals 

Might need to redirect some teams in these sectionals again. The last realignment seemed to water a couple sectionals down. Still not sure why they made schools 15 minutes from sectional drive 1.5 hours.  I'm positive there's an outstanding reason. 😁

A skinny chef at that!  (Idk if he's really skinny) 

Where did Faulkens wrestle??? Not sure he did. But, you don't hire a chef thats never been in the kitchen. Theres your common sense theory!!!

I have been coaching since 2003, I have been apart of 3 different Sectional Seeding meetings in that span, and I have NEVER seen what I saw last night at a seeding meeting!!!!  I feel terrible for the wrestlers involved due to the interpretation of the "Head to Head'" criteria.
 
If wrestler "A" has a Head to Head win over wrestler "B", but wrestler "B" has more wins against other sectional opponents, he still gets the seed over wrestler "A"....Even Though wrestler "A" has a 1. Head to head win 2.Higher winning percentage 3. Farther Advancement in Last years tournament series. 
 
This was the case in in the 3 mentioned situations above, but it was even worse when they tried to seed the #3,4,5,&6....I was at a loss for words.  I still can't believe what I witnessed.   I spoke up about this situation during the meeting,  but nothing was changed.
 
Most of you all know me, I was pretty fired up about it, because it is doing an injustice to all of the wrestlers who put a body work together throughout the entire regular season, only to see this happen. This could have a negative ripple effect through the entire Tournament series (Regional, Semi State, State) due to this.  Either way all the kids have to wrestle it out, but at Sectional seeding meeting it is our job as coaches, to separate, and seed the best wrestlers....& that wasn't done.

We knew our regional draw before sectional finals. 1978  And only top 2 advanced.

110 pounds to cut. I've got this. 

Travel restrictions is one thing I never understood. Schools that have the resources should be allowed to go anywhere they choose. 

You gotta be careful with those posts. Some on here don't have 25 IQ points to lose!

Reading some of these post, It's obvious that jealousy motivates stupidity.

Just apart of high school sports now days.. everyone wants the best for their kids and their kids want to be the best, so they do what is necessary for their kids to be the best they can be in a certain type of atmosphere..
