Might want to check out Navy80's post on the Evansville SS. Maybe he's just another lone wolf coach looking for wrestle backs. But probably NOT. Navy80-"This semi state can be summed up with one sentence... IHSAA NEEDS TO ADD WRESTLE-BACKS AT SEMI STATE!! We could see a state champion lose to another state champion in the ticket round. Doesn't get any crazier than that! "

Frankly, I'm not sure what it comes down to. I guess I just think the system (whatever its objective) should be logically consistent. You want a system that picks a STATE CHAMP and doesn't truly rank the other wrestlers, fine. Win or go home all the way from sectionals to the state finals. You want a system that places the top 8, at least have wrestlebacks. This system is not perfect either, but it allows a kid who loses to someone who will place higher to still compete for a lower place. I'm just saying get rid of the 'death-draw' at SS and the one and done Friday night @ State. When I wrestled (a long time ago) in the MO State Tournament they had a system where you "followed" a kid who beat you. If he kept winning and you beat the other kids he beat, you kept moving. I frankly don't recall exactly how it worked because I did not end up being the state champ, or even the first loser (affectionately called 2nd or runner-up by some). I'm sure my interest in wrestlebacks is actually because I was such a loser that I want other loser to have a chance to wrestle.

I mean, can you imagine the massive crowds flooding into Bankers life to see those 4 SS champs battle it out in the two epic rounds of wrestling. It would be amazing!!!!
-
I agree that the system in IN puts the STATE CHAMP on top of the podium. In that sense wrestle-backs are pointless. However, without wrestle-backs it is absurd to actually 'place' and subsequently 'medal' the top 8 at the State Tournament. Based on our system the podium should have ONE spot-CHAMPION and that's it. At State if you lose you should be done in any round. In fact, only sectional champions should move on, only regional champs and only SS champs. Lose and go home...right?

I understand your point about some tough guys getting knocked out and unable to come back through. I don't know if "tougher" or "less tough" gets at the heart of the issue. The issue is placing has more to do with your draw (especially at SS and State) because of no wrestlebacks. At Regionals this is somewhat less dramatic, but still has an effect. When 2 guys who could both medal draw each other at SS in the ticket round, one goes home (hard for him to medal from there).

I agree it is totally illegal (even if there is a school with the those colors) to say the school "issued it" would be a stretch. I have no idea who wore it, but as far as I am concerned if you are going to wear something like that the you'd better be under the lights and you'd better dominate. While I understand your support of My House, not sure I'd like to see this one: https://www.myhousesportsgear.com/wrestling/men/men-singlets/myhouse-you-wanna-pizza-me-singlet.html

I think you missed another posting... search New Uniforms or Fight short/shirt and you will find a wealth of information on the topic

Props to Brooks. He brought it today. Definitely closer than their first match-up! Brooks is on the rise and will be dangerous the next few weeks.

Sorry for misspelling Pokorney (but per the rules I cannot edit this)

106-Moran 113- Lowery 120- Triana 126- Rooks 132- Rooks 138- Melloh 145- McIntosh 152- Lee (think we should have to pick for 2nd here as a tie-breaker: Washington) 160- Mappes 170- Fattore 182- Walton 195- Davison 220- Parris 285- Pokorey

Sectional by Rankings -- Avon, Southport, Griffith
MOWrestler replied to Indysportsfan's topic in Past Discussions
Maybe the Jennings County Sectional should be thrown in this mix... -
Wanted to share a fellow wrestler's instagram post. Prayers for Michael!

I assume you don't mean a dual of Westview v. Avon. You mean the best kid in each sectional. Still, of the weights you listed 145, 195, 220 Rasler is the only one I could see winning (others are less than a 20% chance).
-
weights?
-
I think they would do well to sell reserved seating, just like many other events. You could have general admission for the seats on the upper levels, but (like suites) sell tickets or blocks of tickets for the lower level. Then no more coats and seat saving...
-
What are your thoughts on how Tsirtsis wrestles in College? His goal is 2-1 or 1-0. Is that like taking Nyquill? Hey, let's not get on T-shirts. He's an IN guy. Plus I generally think it is a bad idea to put down Da Region. Hope you're not headed to ECSS How about we use Dean Heil as an example instead.
-
This does not seem that surprising to me Basketball is very boring.
-
Is this also a legal uniform under the new rules?
-
I presume I failed to communicate sarcasm in my previous translation. Or I looked at the wrong brackets...
-
Attempt at translation: Am I the only one who thinks that the Avon sectional would get blanked against the Westview Sectional? Still not sure what exactly you mean by 'blanked'??? Also, I presume you mean these two sectionals in the reverse order you mentioned them.
-
I don't think he (rookies03) meant that. I think he just meant it might be a mis-match when a kid who naturally weighs 95 lbs faces a kid who cut to 106. I am curious about your opinion of matside weigh-ins. I do think this would have a dramatic effect on weight management practices. Not saying if we should or sould not do it, but I think it would represent a significant change (which the current system has not).
-
Honestly did not see this nuanced level of response coming.... Based on tigroscr's initial question I thought Matt pretty much explained it.
-
We'd need a huge increase in numbers to support this.
-
Subsequently, this does not make for a very exciting discussion
-
I'm guessing Westview
