I'm glad to know they realize they have someone special.

22 Duke Myers was out all year due to a medical issue. I saw him moving around just fine yesterday at the Adams Central Invite. Bellmont was undefeated this year as a team, and could have been better with Myers and another tough kid who didn't wrestle.

I'll be the old man at the Coaches Tavern down the street with ear buds in listening and sipping a beer. Stop by and say hi.

Yeah let's let that one go haha

Any word on Caden Friedt? 195 from the FWSS....injury forfeited his championship match. That kid has had some of the worst luck with injuries. Although he's a Bellmont guy and sadly I was a few feet away when his knee snapped last year vs Adams Central, I pray it's not the same issue this time.

I don't remember the ref of the Beeks/Hardcastle match, but it wasn't the god awful one from the Al Smith, was it? I know he was on Mat 1 a lot that day, with quite a few terrible calls.

Not a huge upset but, Currie from Adams Central winning 145 after Ulrick beat Fiechter. Fiechter took it to Currie several times this year, although the match at Regionals was a nail biter. Lawson from Bellmont getting stuck in a cradle by Chacon when Lawson was controlling the match. Winner getting beat by Lone....again not really a huge upset. Very boring match. Cottingham losing to Shelton shocked me at 132. Mason over Mccune at 152. I thought it was Mccune's to lose.

Trent was great for Yorktown. He had a way of inspiring others to want to go there. He helped my sons and my grandsons at an open tourney years ago because I had no idea what I was doing. He asked me if I would mind if he would coach them matside for the day. At first I thought it was a joke, it was not. He coached them the rest of the day. A lot of the local guys around the Adams County area like to throw the word "recruiter" out there, I know nothing of that. I just know he went out of his way to help these random kids out. I'm in the minority, but it's sad to see such a great program become laughable in just a couple/few years.

Lee looks to have taken his game to the next level. To me Red has stayed the same. I don't know if it's coaching, physical/mental growing, desire, etc.....but Lee looks a lot better at this point. Either way, it was so cool to see those guys wrestle again. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I loved sitting in my man cave with the Berne Witness streaming on my tv. Everything seemed to go smooth. Two thumbs up!

Agreed. I think at best we'll see a 2nd, but most likely a couple/few 3rd's.

There's a young man from South Adams that could be on the 106 list. Been watching him work our middle school kids for a few years. The Jay County 113 should be a SA starter. Not sure why he's down in Jaytucky this year.

I don't remember where I read it, but I saw Bellmont (a 2A school) has athletic participation numbers on par with a 1A school. If true, that speaks volumes for the quality of the wrestling program. It's also a scary to see what the future holds for you guys. I was surprised our Middle School took it hard to BMS last year, and not only in wrestling (but especially wrestling). Our youth and High School programs are thriving in Monroe and often times beat the Decatur teams (we won't even talk about football). Many Decatur kids play in our baseball league and some of our wrestlers live in Decatur as well. I'm not sure if it's Section 8, parents, the kids, the river water? Something isn't right up there.

Chop chop. I'm hoping for some ammo to fire at the Bellmont groupies at work tomorrow. HA!

I thought that was a gimme? Congrats though. You coaches have the entire lineup and backups motivated and working hard.
