    Good match marred by parents I was sitting around. They should be ashamed of themselves the way they talk about  young wrestler. 
    It didn't go unnoticed as I let them know they were classless.

    126 @ Delta has 
    #5 in FWSS Justin Boone (Yorktown)
    #6 in FWSS Jayden Jett(cowan)
    #7 in FWSS Kaeb Stebbins(delta)
    and add in a tough semi-state qualifier in Dawson Brooks from Daleville who beat Jett and Boone last year. All these kids are young tough wrestlers which could make this weight really interesting.

    CP and BB both have a good shot. Evansville semi state is brutal and always brings surprises. Hopefully all the boys stay healthy.

    I’ve always wondered why people say one kid will get better and don’t say anything about the other.   I’m sure they will both get better.  
    The Purdy-Sollars match was very weird.    Sollars yelled in pain with his knee in the first and they stopped the match.  Then one of the weirder scoring disputes I have seen (in my short time as a wrestling fan). They gave Sollars 2 for a takedown when Purdy had a solid body lock on him.   Castle disputed it, the refs took the 2 away, then a very long ref/scoring table meeting, and they gave the 2 back.   Momentum completely stopped for both sides.   Not saying it would have changed things but the whole match just felt weird.  Nothing at all like the first match they wrestled this year.

    Based on current FW Semi State/State rankings, 126 at Goshen is solid:
     
    #1/#3 Aiden Sprague, East Noble
    #2 Nick Olson, Goshen
    #5/#15Mikey Kallamani, Jimtown
    #7 Zac Pica, Fremont
    #8 Isaiah McCue, Angola 
     
    Could also throw into the mix Keagan Schlabach, Lakeland and Gavin Roberts, Prairie Heights

    Matthew Nelson reacted to Bigtoe19 in Toughest Non-Mooresville Regional Weight Class   
    I will give some thought to this Topic. Yes Mooresville Regional is a Meatgrinder. It has always been. A Weight that Pops out at me is the 195 at Evansville North. Look at the rankings you basically have the States top 3 Wrestlers with Purdy-
    Castle, Sollars-EMD & Willman-NoPo. Then there will be a wrestler that will make some noise for themselves and their School.
    Now the other weight class that I see a true fight just to make Semi State and draw into a Top Ranked kid is going to be 126 at Bloomington Regional. This is an area closer to my home base. My real question is Lane Gilbert of Sullivan??  
    Why you ask, cause he wants to stay at 120! Was recently injuried and came back to wrestle in Greencastle at 126 that weekend. So what fits him and Sullivan the
    BEST?  The Regional already has 5/6 wrestlers that have been in the Rankings this year by Joe in the 126 State Class.
    Wrestlers like H May-THS, B Lain-Tell City, B Weaver-Owen Vlly, P King-New Alb, A Gann-Bl. South, Shackelford-Fl Cnt and other tough wrestler out of the Bl.North and Southridge Sectionlas. 
     
    So my thoughts Good Luck to all and have a Safe Holiday, Bigtoe19.  🤫

    Undefeated sounds great but strength of schedule has a huge impact. Facing tough competition week in and week out will take you farther in the state tournament than a pretty record. Even a loss or two from top competition can be great learning opportunities. Everyone knows this.
     
    With that said, my sophomore son is currently 17 - 0 (16 pins and a 2nd period tech fall). 25-0 including forfeits. He is unranked.  He was a semi state qualifier last year as a freshman. He flys under the radar because our schedule is weaker than most. That’s perfectly ok. I frequently remind him to stay humble and focused as he will face some hammers in the near future. It’s his job to be ready when that time comes. 💪

    No Joey will be back at 126 after today. Keegan has been on a run and  is finally at where he wants to be weight wise. She see a good run out of him(138)
    , Joey(126), Brooks(132), Tinocco(160), Driver(170,182), SAM ALLEN(182 or 195) Oliver (220) has not hit a stride yet, and Williams(HWT). Some surprises still to come.

    Just some info, Fans there has been some Awesome wrestling going on at the
    Mooresville Hol. Classic. I think that the Southern teams held their own and are 
    going to bring the Heat in February at State. 
    Today 126 , 182 & 195 weight classes have been well worth Admission for this
    Great Tournament. I also want to tip my Hat to the former Studs that have came
    back to Coach at a Program here in Indiana. LeCount-Delta , Stephenson-Ytown,
    Runyan-Martinsville , Spicer- Owen Valley & DJ Smith- Monrovia. Those are Young
    men that I have watched Succeed in this Sport. Wish everyone the Best , stay safe
    and Keep up your Great efforts.

    I"m not sure I've said this lately but 126 is flat sick, there's a legit dozen contenders, holy cow.
     
    And if I can't find results on here, track, or nothing's been sent to me then like WKND says - save your tears for another day!

    Congrats to all the triple crown winners this year.  It takes a lot of hard work and the stars to align just a bit for some to achieve this honor.  
    I personally want to congratulate Hunter May.  2019 Schoolboy triple crown winner.  Middle school champ and USAW Folkstyle National Champ.  He’s a great young man on and off the mat and a tremendous competitor.  He puts in all the extra work and is lucky to have such a great and supportive family.  Big future in front of you!

    Matthew Nelson reacted to Stoney Hayhurst in Evansville Waaaaaayyy to Early P4P   
    Well I usually don’t  get on this site to look at the forums but this was brought to my attention.  This was not  the case of who he couldn’t or could beat.  There where many issues last year and we are glad that’s behind him.  Castle is a great school and we wish them well. We also appreciate everything thing they did and all the time they spent with  him.   For somebody to say who he couldn’t beat means you probably don’t actually know what was going on.  Mater Dei is a great opportunity for him not just for the wrestling aspects but for many other reasons.  “Well over his allowance” he was .1 over not sure if that classifies as well over.   That’s on him and hopefully he is at a different stage in his career where he won’t have to worry about that anymore.
