Should of never went to overtime

Ruble v Gilbert not happening? 

Going to be epic tomorrow morning matches, leading into Semifinals ! Minus the ticket debacle that’s happening. 
 
GREAT DAY OF WRESTLING INDIANA !

Somebody was selling paper copy’s outside for 50 bucks before second session of course no one was taking him up on the offer

Stay tuned as I'm sure we have scalpers that will be willing to sell their tickets "cause i can't make it now" at some point 

I say we all boycott ticket master and just do the old school scramble for seats!  Maybe if the Ihsaa loses all of our money they’ll listen!  Strength in numbers 🤣

Instead of booing kids.. Let boo any IHSAA board member that shows their mugs tomorrow. smh

Well I've gotta a guy that's gonna beat his guy before he even gets to Baumann. Of course, I'm not going to say who it is. Just wait though. You will see. 

Sure we will... if Brody loses.  He'll say "see I told you so, that was my pick!"  It's the easy way to take the field, have 15 wrestlers in your pocket and look smart if it happens.  Yet, he has someone in mind, he's just playing it safe or doesn't want to put pressure on a kid.

Obviously, after last weekend we should be reminded that anything can happen.  But, injury aside, I don't see him losing.  

But if you don't let us in on the scoop, then we will never get to find out.

Well, he obviously has somebody in mind that he thinks is going to pull the upset.  He should man up and put his prediction out there for all of us to see.

Enlighten me.  Who do you think will beat him?

Baumann isn’t a lock! Wait n See

While being a huge EMD fan and having some bias to them I think we can’t predict how anyone would finish putting all those teams together in the same semi state I think that with draws either 
A some would knock each other out before placement and wouldn’t move onto state
B some of the other schools with a couple of good guys would knock off other guys from CP,EMD,BB,CG guys before placement 
C it’s the Evansville semi state and anything can happen on any given day so while BB beat EMD by 59 points I think you add them all together and we have scores that no one can even predict 

When you say “do better” FWSS ? Has me thinking . 
 
Been around this sport long enough to know it takes time to develop Quality wrestlers and even longer for teams to be a Quality Team. Giving that the other 2-3 SS are benefiting from multiple wrestling Academies in their areas.

Your opinion when will FWSS “do better” ?
 
I’ll just throw out a year or years.  I’m going to put FWSS at about 10-15 years . Yes , I’ll say 2035 Ft. Wayne SS will have a legit team(s) and good group of competition coming out of FWSS. Giving the fact Andy’s Academy stays open for that area schools to benefit . Takes time, gotta have kids dedicated to the sport. In that 10-15 years the other SS keep reloading beating up on each other year after year . Two SS will stay the same New Castle & Evansville for the long future . Maybe a realignment may take place in that time . Separating schools . Not sure on Region area, you got Illinois & Michigan stealing good wrestlers from that area to Mt. Carmel & Michigan (Davison) I’ll throw that school out there because I thought about 4 years ago that #1 Barr kid was projected to go CP as well . Up & down like a roller coaster for some schools in that area . Some years they good, this year CP team is a juggernaut, others years their not . Just telling you how I see it . Posters, Trolls, Haters . 
 
Prove me Wrong FWSS . Kinda hope you do for us wrestling fans . We need more great wrestlers. 
 
Just my 0.000002 crypto Indiana Mat bananas cents 

OK I'll bite on this topic.  So, you want to put CP in the Evansville SS with EMD, BB and CG.  You say that the way that you have it playing out is that EMD would score more points than CP and win the SS title.  I think we would both agree that both teams are wrestling at a very high level and would be very interesting to see, but where I am missing things is where is BB in your equation?  EMD finished second in the SS to BB by 59 points and let's be real if Logan Miller doesn't get caught in a headlock then that margin would have been a lot bigger.  Don't get me wrong that EC SS is down this year, but to say that EMD would leapfrog BB and then if CP were there beat them too is a bit of stretch.  Also, I do recall some chatter during the EMD run of championships that they had a bit of an easier road (not saying it was easy but compared to Merrillville at the time it would be very similar to what you are saying now) to state and we still consider the 03 team in conversation as best ever.  In the long run it would have been interesting to see, but if that SS did have CP in it, it is highly likely all of those teams could have beaten each other down we would be discussing some other team and their easy road to state.

There is no doubt Crown Point benefited from having Center Grove, Brownsburg, and Mater Dei battle it out at the same semi state. But no fault of their own! They will win the IHSAA state with ease...
