Pretty easy.  Other than a few kids who wrestle all year around at our local (small) schools, most of the other kids already have a bat and glove on (or doing that boring Track and Field "sport").  How many Crown Point or Brownsburg wrestlers compete in 3 sports yearly?  Maybe a lot?  I honestly don't know.  Our wrestlers often don't get in the room until late November because of football.

This is why, IMO, the 1A and 2A schools might have a few "hammers" on the team (all year wrestlers or just extremely athletic), but overall lack the upper tier quality that a 4A school can produce.

I'm a Mater Dei guy and I'm not drunk but... Right now? ... Today?... Nick Lee wins between Mendez and Lee. 

 

But Mendez is DAAAAAAAAANG GOOOOOOOD. 

 

No disrespect, don't want to argue, but I think NCAA champ vs high school 4 xer is a tall hill to climb for the younger wrestler. I could be wrong but I'm taking Lee.

 

Oh geez today??  Nick Lee easy.  I think the EMD mob was talking about head to head both still in HS.

Drunk EMD guy at the Tin Roof Saturday in between sessions kept bragging Nick Lee by a tech over Mendez.  The guy almost caught hands from a Brownsburg group.

That's respect.

I swear we had this exact same thread a year ago when we all experienced the exact same issues.  Chumpions Network seems like it's run by some middle school's media class.  Mat 2 at FWSS kept zooming in and out at random times, then missed everything towards the sides of the mat.

IHSAATV peeps....either partner up with local webcasters for these events or follow their format.  The media conglomerate Berne Witness can do a flawless all day broadcast in full HD and not miss a second of the action.  Chumpions Network yesterday for the FWSS looked like I was streaming on 56k modem in 1995 on Mat 1 and Mat 4.

Adams Central is taking 4 tying the 1990 team for  second most to advance.

Bellmont only 2 and South Adams zero.  I was expecting more out of the area schools but......we have 4 solid ones going!

Veazy cruises to a win.  I think he'll be the next state champ from the FWSS area.  Not this year though, but he'll be close.

Adams Central has 4 going, potentially 2 champs.

Clark does it again!!! Gets a defensive fall in the ticket round!

Dream day for that young man.

Cruz will be tough next year.

Tobias (Northwood) over Wenk (Jay County) at 182 at FW 9-8.  At the very end they gave him a 3 point nearfall; however, the ref only swiped 3 times.  Wenk was clearly not exposed for 5 seconds.  Tough to see a guy lose that way but you cannot get thrown in the last 10 seconds.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was only a 2pt nearfall.

This is wrestling. Go play chess 

I think South Adams has plenty of time to do that now.

Down goes Litchfield.

I get that, but our kid who is one of the best, nicest kids I’ve ever been around is being vilified on this board, and we’re just sticking up for our wrestler. 

I think the entire Adams Central crowd during the finals vs Currie at Sectional this year think a little differently after those elbows went flying on restarts....

Jared Dunn of Princeton chose neutral to start the 2nd period and caught Miller in a headlock and finished the deal.  

I bet Ike Ruble just got an extra bounce in his step!  Thanks for the update.

It was the correct call. It was dirty.

Agreed.  I've watched him for years.  When he gets behind or in a tight match, he tends to get unhinged.  Very exciting wrestler, but his career is done.

Logan. Miller. Goes. Down. 

 

Crazy.....

Ummmmm..........wha????

Austin Brickey of Carroll knocks off AJ Dull of South Adams.  Dull got DQ'd on a nasty armbar but was more than likely going to lose as he was down 7-2 late.

Just now, bigballerb said:

Just talked to him, he was 2 pounds under lol.

I'm not sure how they made that big of an error.  They said the info came from former Bellmont coach Paul Gunsett.

He's on Mat 4 wrestling right now!

WZBD getting them free crack pipes early!  

FWSS 138 Kokomo Senior Clark Stitts....46-1....missed weight per WZBD.

It pains me to say this, but I think AC is still going to be really really good next year! I believe they have a fair amount of juniors but only graduate a handful of seniors(Currie, Heyelrly). Those guys ate tough to replace but they could have 3 state qualifiers coming back next year 
 

They are my pick to win the semi state this year! All of their wrestlers got phenomenal draws!

Also set to reload with some really good 8th graders coming up.

He was just on the WZBD radio show two weeks ago, was in good health and high spirits. 

I really enjoyed that interview.  Had some great stories of wrestling at Snider vs Bellmont.  Was entertaining.

I really like your 106 prediction...and that's kinda what I want to see (Levi Johns winning it) but....I just can't see it.  I hope you're right though!

Tuesch as a 4 could easily happen.  Young kid.  He's going to be tough the next 2 years.

I will never know the pain of the Evansville ticket round. We don’t have weight classes like down there. It’s just that of the few placers we do have, they somehow hit each other. 

106 Johns vs May....1 vs  2 in Semi Finals.  I know it's not blood round but this pains me.  This is out finals matchup.

113 Tishner vs Doster...same thing.  Both would smash everyone on the other side of the bracket.

120 Ruble and Brooks in the blood round.  

132 Uhlman vs Houser in the blood round.

138 Eberhart vs Tuttle first round.  Teusch vs Clark 2nd round.  Gerencser vs a 1 loss Senior blood round.  

152 Currie vs Dull AGAIN?!?!?!

160 Myers vs Lone again?! 

182 Veazy vs......oh who am I kidding?  He owns this bracket.  Perhaps Page gives him a run?

195 Ingenito vs Washburn will be lights out.  Kukelhan vs Deming will be tough too.

220 Heyerly vs Hinton?!?!  Beck vs the winner?!

HWT The flowing greazy mullet of Villafuerte bests Cruz and cruises on to win.
