Forgot another...
Parker Reynolds - 144 Brownsburg (St. Michael, St. Malachy)

I believe Baker only pinned Dickman in Greco.  In Freestyle Dickman TF'd baker at Fargo.

Crown Point and Brownsburg wrestled TOUGH schedules, if neither school has an undefeated wrestler.

Brownsburg and Crown Point has wrestled 3-4 state championship level events this year. They have 0 undeated wrestlers. Will pay dividends. If you have a high level age group kid = better of traveling every other weekend to find competition than staying local. It is like kissing your sister - you wrestle the same kids. Lots of kids will benefit more in a good room practice -then traveling sitting in a gym all day to wrestle 3 time for 2 minutes. 

The $ line on the only two nationally ranked IN teams as of this week with a single undefeated wrestler in their lineup was +1500.  Fan School Sportsbook had the cover at -2500 for ZERO undefeated wrestlers from these two programs.  Looks they were right.
 
Most of the #TheCounty Dogs have only wrestled 3-4 Indiana kids total all season.   

Rather have those tough lessons learned and be battle tested for that state run, than a sparkling untested 0!

Indiana had a great showing at the National Middle School Duals in Toledo OH.  This is one of the top 3 duals in the country each year.  Below are the overall records for the Indiana MS wrestlers who participated in the Gold Pool starting at weights 70 and above.  Indiana had 1 team in the Gold Pool (Midwest Legacy), and 5 other wrestlers in the Gold Pool for Team USA.  Midwest Legacy finished 5th losing by 3 points in the final dual.  Indiana had 2 wrestlers finish the dual undefeated: Parker Reynolds & Jensen Boyd.

Seeding out 12 kids at 3 qualifiers kinda waters it down . That makes up to 36 spots. Last year only 2 weight classes had even over that number. If really doing a qualifier 4 locations and take the top 4 and run it like semi state leading up to State and get full 16 man/woman brackets . With 12 spots I can see almost every location getting a spot the following weekend.

IN well represented in Natl MS Rankings... For IHPO Huddleston #4 (70), Bell #8 (80), Dickman #2 (85) all too small, Rojas #4 (160) & Harden #4 (180) not registered.  Harden will not be due to football.
Stanley #4 110 at 109... Hawkins #9 120 & Reynolds #5 130 both registered at 116.

And you could argue Reynolds as a 7th grader, and Hockaday, Brewer, Henry, Forrestsr as 8th graders all could have placed this year.  Not to mention the smaller 7th graders like Dickman, Haines or the younger 7th graders Rojas or Day in 2 years that are placers and eventual champs.  It won’t be #TheCounty as much as it will be #TheBurg.   Their expectations along with their coaches  are state championships, not placing. It will be a fun next 5 years!  The wave is coming for sure.

I give credit where credit is due....mad props to Ryan Parrish for getting this pulled off and everyone who helped him.  These are the type of positive announcements we need.  I have been a critic of the ISWA, but they definitely pulled this off and worked countless hours to make this happen.  Now everyone just bring lots of hand sanitizer and fist bumps.

If dis wasn't a election year it would not be on da headlines. Brutal for us retired guys on our 401k- hold tight it will come back. So bummed about da NCAA- was meeting up wit a bunch of buddies - looks like Flo wrestling parties

I’m trying to recall how much media coverage was giving to influenza last year. It’s hard to remember. I know 40 million Americans got the flu and 40,000 people died from it. But I just can’t seem to recall it being on the news every second of every day of every night. Maybe I’m mistaken.
