Should be an easy choice with Johansen on staff

Should be an easy choice with Johansen on staff

The day before the voting takes place, Hobart hosts a Super Dual. 
We could find a way to fit in another 3A team to the field to take on the Brickies as well as a combination of Chesterton, Lake Central, Valpo, Highland, Hanover Central, Whiting, Knox, Hammond Morton. 

At Hobart, we have a sports mural in our field house. Previously, Hobart had 21 sports represented in this mural. With the addition of girls wrestling, and boys volleyball there had to be additions to the mural. Girls wrestling on our sports mural forever. Even better that the art is based off Hobart's first ever girls wrestling state placer, Keirys Click. 

I almost left my shoes on the mat.....
 
But I couldn't bend over to do it, so they came home w/ me. 
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words, it was pretty cool and that's a good group of guys in that picture. All very supportive of each other and wrestling movement!
 

Purdue needs to worry about their program before worry about high school meets.

Parents seeing their kid in the rankings,
but also Mike waiting for reactions of parents of kids not in the rankings.

Man, @TysonNisley I was all pumped to read this, but then the Brickies weren't invited to the party...
 
Anyways, truly a mistake. I'll forgive you I guess.

I started coaching in 1970 and attended the State Finals at Southport in 71 or 72 and have not missed since. There has not been anything or anyone that defines the State Championship like Kevin Whitehead! Thanks 

My favorite:  Maaallll doooo naaaa dooooo!!!! (There were many different first names over the years)

If you are a wrestling fan that doesn't go to other IHSAA sports' championships, then you don't know how lucky we are. Every year I went to the gymnastics state finals, I would be so mad at how unprofessional the announcer was--mispronouncing names, giving NCAA basketball updates over the PA, making jokes about names being weird, and countless other things I've made myself forget. 
 
I asked Whitehead to "announce" a video of my mom's team receiving their state championship trophey, and he sent me back two versions of him belting out the jams.  What a great announcer, and what a great man for making the moment special. 
 
I'll include the video with Whitehead's audio, because my mom and sister make me really proud, and also to show that Whitehead is a complete badass who rages to make things great for people. His part starts at 4:15 in case the link doesn't take you there.

Will Merrillville end their boycott of team state 

When I found out I was having a son, I (half) jokingly said now I need to make sure he has a name that will sound great at state with Kevin announcing it. Kevin said that he'd likely not be announcing by the time he's in high school, so he made this. 
 
 

Just for nostalgia...I'll start my two favorite Kevin Whitehead names of IHSAA State Finals of the past.
 
TEEEEEEE. JAYYYYYY HAYES!!!!!!!!
It was a couple years of that and it got louder every year.  When I moved to Indy I remember meeting the Wagners in Zionsville's room.  My first thought was "that's the guy that ruined Mr. Whitehead saying TJ Hayes"
 
Mr. Whitehead was also spectacular announcing Anton Talamantez.
