I also didn't know that Contenders and Coach Parrish were the only academy...someone may be confused as Contenders is in Bburg and some other joint called Red Cobra is in Avon.  
To @MattyB point...I cheer for all these kids because I see how hard they work all year long.  I'm a Bburg guy through and through but will root on Brewer because I see what he's doing in July when it's 100+ degrees in the sweat-box behind the Thai Restaurant off of Rockville Road.  I root for Asa because he has no fear of getting together with other county guys and making each other better.  He puts in time doing teaching to the little guys in Snyder's room...because what's good for the sport is good for all and we like to continue to grow what we're doing in #TheCounty.
We recently moved, and one of the biggest things I hate is not seeing these kids get after it daily at RC or Contenders.  #TheCounty is strong.  We truly do pull for each other.  I believe it was Jaden Reynolds that said it best...all this rivalry stuff is kinda silly.  We've all been wrestling together since we were little and we all work together all year long.  So we're all friends.  
Haters gon hate.

Can't believe you forgot Gunnar Larson. Young man was tough as nails

Team Garcia is passionate about are area. Can’t knock the dude for that. 
With that said, I think that there is a level of respect for eachothers programs that is not typical. Anytime anyone has success at any level, it seems that the coaches, parents, and wrestlers of the other teams are first ones to congratulate the kids. A lot of the parents hang out together. So the sense of together or being as one is real. 
This is a silly debate. 
Great day yesterday. 
Gave some money to the boom squad. Looking out for 1proud. 

Fact check:
1.  i meant what i said:  Hendricks county has great wrestling.  Sticking a hashtag in front of a phrase does not change the conventions of the English language.
2.  There are not "millions" of Indiana high school wrestling fans.
3.  Penn State fans do not shout "We are one community".  Their chant is "We are Penn State".  I defy you to show one instance where a Penn State Kid has given the Iowa, Minnesota or Ohio State coaches or athletes "credit" for their success.  Pretty much all of the Big Ten contenders hate Penn State; the feeling is mutual.  Take a look at Penn State's wrestling forum to test this assertion.  Furthermore, i have never heard a "We are one community" chant at any Indiana high school wrestling meet.  
4.  Hendricks county kids train 365/24/7?  They do not sleep?  How do they maintain their academics if they do not go to school?  I thought human beings died after five days of sleep deprivation.
5.  Pretty much everyone "gets" that Contenders is an outstanding club.  Outside of #thecounty drum-beaters, everyone "gets" that Maurer-Coughlin wrestling club and Region Wrestling Academy makes their kids better.
6.  It is interesting to watch KT Nelson.  He has clearly moved to the next level...at Brownsburg.  Dorian Keys is a first-year wrestler?  Is that true?  if so, i'm sure that is a result of #thecounty, as opposed to wrestling for Brownsburg.  This year, i saw Brownsburg shock everyone and win the team duals and a month later, put seven in the finals at semi state.  If i lived in Hendricks county--based on results--i would want my kids at the Contenders club and a student at Brownsburg.
On the other hand, I could be wrong.  I fully expect Asa to win his third title next weekend.  It's not hard to imagine Avon getting three champs.  If forced to bet, i would put my money on the Orioles to win their first title.  Let's give this "We are one community" some legs:
1.  All Avon kids should scrap any apparel branded with "Avon".  That would extinguish this "1 schools ego" thing that you mention.  I suggest that the singlets are emblazoned across the chest with #thecounty and the back will state #weareonecommunity.
2.  During their post-match interviews, the Avon champs should not mention their "Avon" coaches or team mates, but should give credit to Derrick Snyder, Contenders and the kids from the land of the hashtag.
3.  Should Avon get grand prize, the trophy should reside at the Contenders club.
4.  Finally, and crucially, the IHSAA will NOT recognize Avon as the State Champion.  The championship clearly belongs to the "One Community" and should be so noted in the record books.  Avon's administration should refuse the trophy unless it is presented to #thecounty.

Raw.. but not a first year wrestler. He wrestled some st Ben Davis before. Kid is fun to watch. 
Again, congrats to Brownsburg for winning. 

Word on the street is that Brownsburg’s Heavyweight Keys (Semi-State Champion) is a first year wrestler.... some are “novices”! That being said..... I don’t think he’d be where he is at any other program besides Brownsburg 😉

What you meant to say is #TheCounty has Great wrestling . I agree 100% Thank You !
Let me correct what you meant to say : 
What ***Indiana*** DOES NOT get .... hate to break the news to you .... the Thousands or Millions ...... of Wrestling People fans . #TheCounty Stands Alone.
 
Picture me shouting like Penn St. Fan does  “WE ARE ONE COMMUNITY” . Not sure Hook and Half or others understands that. Must be from the old school and thinks is 1 school egos is better than everyone else. Must not go into these #TheCounty Academies in the off season and see 90 of kids putting in 365/24/7, Blood, Sweat, Tears, getting better “Together” ! .... STOP ..... @hook and half you don’t believe me do you? Ask anyone that goes to these schools, Coaches, Wrestlers. and ask them who/what makes you better ? Go ahead ask Coach Synder, Coach Errett, Coach Smiley, Coach Hutchinson, and others You think they are bring in kids Novices, no experience ... I’d say 75% of the kids have been training in Academies for at least a Decade. They put in their time “together” 
 If you was apart of that you know what I’m talking about. So before you throw out my beloved Community name . Just think about it that . #weareBrownsburg #weareAvon  #wearePlainfield #weareCascade #weareDanville #weareTriWest #TheCounty #weareone

Go ahead and attack me now with this 1 school *explicit language* 😂

Brewer from Avon deserves some mention...dominating day for him.  And Asa being Asa.
As well as Aiken who 1st period pinned his way to the finals then defeated the #1 dude in the semi-state.

We always talk about possible 4’s over 1’s on Friday night. With no brackets yet available for the state finals, here’s the 4’s coming out of EVV SS that could stir things up. 
106- Newman(MV) #4 SS  
113-Ross(EMD)#5 State #1SS
120- Conley(Av)#11 State #4SS
126-Meier(BS)#14 State #4 SS
132-Egli(EMD) #11 State #3SS
138-Kreiter(BB) #8 State #2 SS looked like he was concussed. Hope he’s healthy
145-Law(BB)#7 SS tough freshman
152-Ross(BS)#15 State #5SS
160-Sollars(EMD) #8 SS has quality wins over ranked opponents 
170-TJB(BB)#14 State #4SS
182-Carson(Dan) #9 State #3 SS young man wrestling with a lot of heart. 
195-Stine(Mart)#7 SS
220-Howell(THS)#7 SS
285-Rea(HH)#5 SS 
Granted it all comes down to the draws, but I think EVV can pull some 4 over 1’s come next Friday. Let’s see what the othe SS’s are bringing 

Dalton was super slick today! 

I would add JJ Conway of Floyd Central  to that list. I was very impressed with the freshman. 

Big Lawson Aiken of Bburg fresh off signing his D1 football scholarship completes a heckuva week by beating Bolte of Columbus East for the 220 lbs Semi-State title!
And The Burg sends 9 to The Bank!  Keys coming up at HWT.

#TheCounty is Free !
2.5 years in Indianamat Pit of Misery 

Bburg 9 thru, 2 champs with the Big Fellas Aiken and Keys.  #PainTrain

I have no dog in the fight, that being said, I was standing behind the table during that match and I thought you made the right call. The fall came just after the buzzer.

Or you could argue the fact that collectively as a team they were solid. They posted 15 matches today with bonus points. 

As the clock official that worked this match, I would be curious what your opinion was. I know it was close, but in my mind it was called after the buzzer. I felt horrible for the kid, but I felt I made the right call. I will take whatever comments come as a result of this. 
 

It can be argued that those :02 were the difference thay gave Brownsburg the team title.  Montgomery scored 15.5 team points.  BB won by 13.5.  Every second counts and Brownsburg proved it today.

Brewer from Avon deserves some mention...dominating day for him.  And Asa being Asa.
