Yea I agree but hayhurst is ranked 9th so him placing isn’t a huge deal, parkinson is ranked 3rd and gets the #1 in the state. Tough draw. If parkinson doesn’t draw walker he probably earns a bunch of teams points for mater dei 

If Walker is healthy Parkinson drawing into him hurts mater dei’s chances. My favorite before the brackets was Mater Dei... I wonder how draws throughout the brackets are going to help/hurt teams in the race.

Hayhurst pulling a 4 over 1 Friday night, could go along way for MD.  

Excited to watch mason over the next 3 years! I remember when people shamed me on this forum for saying mason parris and gable were the same level. Nooooo Gable is world level, well guess what so is mason!

First 3 rounds on FLO as well.  BTN+ subscription is $14.95 for one month (all schools).  In the past a $9.95 (single school) worked as well, but no guarantee.  Cancel after the tournament and it's a one time charge.  Cancellation can be done online as well so no phone call to deal with.

First three sessions are on BTN plus. Finals are on BTN.

Really wanted to see Conner vs tyce in the semis... 

Bates over Laplace 3-2.Sucks for Laplace bad draw at regionals and then semi state. Close matches and could of gone either way at regionals and semi state. Has beat Brown and Bates this year and their going to state. Feel for the kid.

Good thing is he has one more year and I look for him to use this as motivation.

Nolf is kinda good.  The bow and arrow is just freakin' nasty

He said it best in his post match interview. Coaches told him he has 7 minutes to score and he used the full 7. 
Nolf is so fun to watch. 

Huge win for lee! Relentless pace!

Just filled out all my brackets and surprised nobody has mentioned New Castle 145.
#2 Bryer Hall
#3 Alex Mosconi
#4 Aiden Warren
#5 Antwaun Graves
May not be the deepest weight class, but since they’re all separated, it’s probably the only one that could legitimately place 1-4 at state. Granted it’s not likely that Matt Lee loses in the quarters, it’s possible.

Garcia and Moran’s losses were both out of state as well

Loved it when Lee climbed up on the rail at Rec Hall and flexed to the audience.  How about when Lee’s dad ran in front of the TV camera and posed?
 
Exciting!

Dropping to the leg in the top position is a five second count and if you aren't off the leg it's stalling.

ppl don't like the chatter they themselves can mute it.. I agree we can't punish everybody just because a few silly ppl..

It is far from a done deal.  It is just becoming more and more apparent that more needs to be done.  We are working to figure out what the best course of action is going to be, but can tell you that something has to change.  We had fifteen messages sent through from TW about the issues at a couple tables.  Unfortunately they did not respond with the actual table numbers. 
Here is the biggest issue.  We have to beg people to work the tables.  Teams turn in a list of people and then for some reason they are unavailable to do the jobs so we have to ask the general public to assist.  There was even a point where I had to sit at a table as one of the event management.  And hopefully there was no issues with talking at the 3A finals match.  If there was, I am probably in trouble myself. Haha.
Honestly I love working tables, as evident that I work Big Tens and NCAAs (volunteer). But for me, running tournaments and coaching still have my heart more.

I really hate the fact that a few bad apples are going to ruin the whole batch. I personally like to hear the whistles, crowd, and the coaches during the broadcast. And.. sometimes you get some really knowledgeable table help that say some good stuff. I think that doing away with sound takes away from the broadcast. I really would encourage that you tape a reminder to each table to remind them to watch what they say, before the tournament is muted. 

Hats off to the little wildcats for a hard fought win over my little Orioles. Great team / great sportsmanship. 
Proud of my guys too. The Orioles have made the finals all 9 years of the existence of the tourney. Those that have came to this over the last 9 years know, how hard it is to make the finals once. 
A HUGE thank you to the ISWA staff. For those that don’t know, these are the same people that ran team state in Fort Wayne last night. They pretty much did not sleep this weekend. These folks get a ton of complaints as almost no complements. THANK YOU all!!!
Looking forward to year 10 next year! 

The biggest upset of the day. No curtis at 26 today. No Watts/Curtis match so the loser is the fans.
