So……. #5 Avon gets wrecked by National Powerhouse team with one highly ranked guy out Brownsburg lineup. 
 

How does Wildcats matchup with that one guy missing out of Brownsburg lineup theoretically ? 

As an MD fan, I don't believe we would fare too well against BB, similar to Avon (points-wise). I feel the Avon / MD dual will be very competitive, as both lineups are similar in strength. Toss up matches will be the heavier weights for sure.

Unfortunately, I had to miss this one.  How did it go done?

Cats won every match except 144 & HWT. 
 

144: Horning fall over Hermann

HWT: Waller dec. over Kunkler in Dirty 30’s

Is Alex Johns the coach at Avon?

 

As a wrestling fan, I loved that guy.  As a Mater Dei fan...not so much.

 

Does that "R" auger into the calculus?

Correct. He is head coach, and has been for a few years.

First match? I thought it was second match. I always hated the first match of the day, took a minute to get cob webs out.

I show MD v Avon is first dual of the day

215: Trenton Murphy vs Grant Stewart 30-19 EMD

285: Caleb Kunkler vs Braden Love 30-25 EMD

Couple swing matches early on that will decide the dual. I got 30-25 EMD

As a prideful MD fan, I feel all matches could be toss up's with exception of 120 (MD), 138 (Avon), & 150 (MD), but that is if these rosters are all set and no bumps occur. A lot of on-the-spot strategy will be in play first dual Saturday morning! Both teams have their studs in similar weights, so it will be interesting to see who goes out. 

#BringBackTheTights

I think it will be a great dual, Avon is very strong as usual, and MD is strong early in the lineup. This is where I see those experienced varsity wrestlers try to earn bonus points versus just trying to win the match. Too close for me to say without seeing names of both sides. 

#BringBackTheTights

Mater Dei over Union County 36-24. 
 

#BringBackTheTights

At Mater Dei’s 6 way, not sure if this is an upset or not, but Penola from Zionsville beat Kiser from Trinity(KY) by decision. Both ranked #2 in IN & KY. 
 

#BringBackTheTights

Hopefully it is just some chatter, but if IU/Purdue could lock him in, that would be a huge recruit for the state. 

#BringBackTheTights

Not sure if a shut out is attainable, but certainly is not out of the question. As an MD fan, the program has shown to be more cyclical now, compared to previous years. My assumption is the 'Cats will be back in the mix of top teams in state in the next 3-4 years.

There MAY also be another transfer in the South. Has there ever been a 4x medalist, medal for 2 different schools and not in consecutive order?

 

A Wildcat is seeking a Higherland!!

 

 

May going back home?

Does Evansville have a Portillo’s and or Popeye’s: asking for a friend?? Are there any Aviaries or bird sanctuaries.  My owls, hawks, osprey, and falcons will need a place to stay. Can’t leave’em in Elkhart. Although I bet the vermin count is high here. The last time I went to Evansville I kept saying Zirklebach to everyone I saw. They knew Gabe but didn’t know why I kept saying Zirklebach.  They didn’t know but I was 17 and only knew German, French and Swahili: No Evansvillese.  So I thought if I said Zirklebach and nodded and tossed in a Weinzaple they would decipher what I was trying to convey. God knows I couldn’t cut thru the dialects.  I thought I was in West Virginia for a few hours. Side note. I went to Manchester College.  I ate more Pizza King than I’d like to admit over those 4 and a 1/2 years. Haven’t had a slice since 1996. That stuff should be handled by Hazmat.

There is a Popeyes off of First Ave in Evansville.

After wrestling, Hilltop Inn is another great spot for hometown BBQ, Famous Brain Sandwiches, and $2 Busch Light fishbowls!

No it wasn't

I stand corrected. Apologies!

I do remember the 2016 132 finals match between Chad Red & Nick Lee was saved for the last match (I believe) of the night due to the obvious hype and excitement around these two wrestling each other for the first time in IHSAA tourney history. 

#BringBackTheTights

Congratulations!

Good luck, Coach!

Congratulations to the newest member of the Indiana High School Hall of Fame, Steve Anslinger! Steve has been a decorated coach, official, and leader for the sport of wrestling in Indiana. 

Mater Dei bias here: Craig Macke was the best wrestler to never win a title.

What a stud and a class act

I understand my opinion doesn’t mean a thing, but I believe CG will win the individual team title but will not win a team state title in the next year. 
 

He was a big reason why I wanted to get into announcing. He is an inspiration, and will always be the GOAT. Thank you Mr. Whitehead for all you have given to us as wrestling fans.
