  1. That makes sense. Honest question, would you sacrifice shorter drives to separate the big schools? Because I was trying to do the opposite by creating short drives without caring about school size.
  2. Better than Brownsburg is a really tall task. 320+ teams couldn’t do it so I wouldn’t say that. I think those sales classes could position themselves in a place to make a difference at state though.
  3. it would definitely take someone smarter than me to effectively restructure it. I just wanted to throw out what I thought of. And five of those six giant schools that you named are already in the same sectional, because it makes sense for that region.
  4. I’m sure those kids work extremely hard. And I think they should continue to do so because I think anything is possible on the individual level. I think even the dying programs could be revived if they established a good culture and used that to build a strong youth program
  5. North Vermillion isn’t better than Brownsburg for the same reason all but Crown Point aren’t better than Brownsburg. Coaching, Culture, access to wrestling clubs and School buy-in
  6. So you’re saying only big schools can have elite athletes? I don’t think that’s necessarily accurate
  7. Plus a lineman going to Iowa which is a HUGE accomplishment and indicates a big commitment to football to get to that level
  8. The best linebacker (John Purdy) and best running back (Luke Hansen) were both state placers. You don’t have to be a single sport athlete to be successful
  9. I don’t know the exact number but I know for a fact at least 3 state champions are multi-sport athletes so they would not be wrestling all year round
  10. It is true that powerhouses change which is why I believe it would be best to build the state tournament in a common sensical manner instead of sending teams unnecessary distances as I referenced earlier.
  11. North Vermillion head coach: Robby Davis, 2x regional qualifier. Brownsburg head coach: Darrick Snyder, state placer and D3 national qualifier. Coaches are not always limited by their own success but their track record especially when one coach has 18 years more head coaching experience. There also is not many RTCs or other wrestling training facilities nearby to Vermillion County but I believed there will be as Indiana and even Illinois wrestling continue to grow.
  12. Out of the 5 biggest schools in in Indiana, Adams Central had more state qualifiers than Ben Davis, North Central, and Fishers. Culture and wrestlers matter more than school size
  13. I did hand-pick the stats, but I also am arguing that school size does not matter and that it is dependent on the wrestlers that go out there. Wrestling provides equal opportunity to all who step on the line.
  14. Each team gets one entry per weight class, so 14. It is not impacted by school size whatsoever.
  15. I don’t think there’s any reason to change the one wrestler per team per weight class. I think the season and offseason tournaments are to decide who is the best from a certain school that year. I would like to see tournaments move towards having more opens like colleges do just so everyone is getting matches, but I think the postseason should remain the way it is. I suspected this was the largest issue in making wholesale changes. There are some things (Brownsburg taking the longest drive possible to a semistate, New Albany and Floyd Central driving over an hour and a half for regionals instead of 20 minutes) that just defy logic.
