Y’all can never give the homie his props without a backhanded compliment or mentioning someone else. Just show bro his love. You kick rocks, my g.

Had it not been for the one loss he suffered at Al Smith to Shepherd, he’d be my pick for most dominant wrestler this season. Just absolutely insane strength on top and he wrestles with so much finesse. I’m happy he avenged that loss in top form, though. Congrats, Rello!

Tylin Thrine. He’s 80-1 after two seasons and will be a returning champion. He spent most of the season ranked nationally at 126, where he won it as a freshman, until he confirmed that he moved up to 132.

Exactly. The streets need this. I’d go as far as making it free to the public even. Parents spend so much money throughout the season traveling and spend a crap ton during the spring and summer for all of these regional and national events. It’d be nice to give back to the community and put on a good show with the best talent around the state. I feel like @Darrick Snyder would be up for it!

This is a nasty level of hating. Kyrel pinned and teched his way through John Hurrle, pinned his way through Marion County, pinned and teched his way to the Al Smith finals, got two falls in the matches Warren wrestled at Team State, pinned his way through sectionals, pinned and teched his way through regionals, pinned his way through semi-state, and teched his opening round at State, won his semis 9-3, and pinned the #1 in the finals… DOMINANT without a doubt.

Watching this Iowa vs Wisc dual and Rathjen takes injury time as he’s getting taken down.  Official gives the injury time, Rathjen continues after a short break and doesn’t give the 3 pt td.
 
Reminds me of one of my biggest issues watching wrestling this weekend.  Coaches allowing their kids to take a time out when the going gets tough.  Weak.  One of the countless things that separates wrestling from the stupid sports like basketball, no timeouts when it’s getting real, you have to deal with it.  
 
Dissapointing the programs that are ok with taking a breather for that mental break when adversity has set in.

We will be looking to do an area code wars in 2025. Just working on getting a date and getting things setup for it.
 
Kids can only compete for the team with their school's area code.
 
Here is the topic discussing it
 

@Y2CJ41 can you set this up?! You are the Don King (without the hair) of Indiana wrasslin'.  This could be a fun event.  Maybe do a youth version to open up the night?  Make it like a 2-2.5 hour event?

This would be Epic, much like what PA does . 

Anyway we can set this up? I remember in Spring/Summer 2016, Perry Meridian drove down to Columbus to wrestle a triple dual against Columbus East and another team just for fun, and I would love to see that happen again. This is the time to do all of the fantasy match-ups. Why not? Everyone is looking to have fun with the sport anyway.
 

Lots of respect to all of these guys and they did in fact dominate this year! Those young men are going to do some big things at the next level. 
 
Being biased myself, I’m going to put my plug in for Peyton Schoettle. 
 
At Marian County, 3 falls and a tech fall in the finals… Mater Dei Holiday tourney.. a fall, tech fall, decision (4th place at KY state championship), and a loss by one point to Isaac Campbell that came with some scoring controversy (watch the video on Trackwrestling). 3 falls at sectional, 2 falls and a tech fall at Regional, a fall, tech fall, and two majors at semi-state, a fall, tech fall, and two decisions (beat the #6 and #2 ranked wrestlers while being ranked #5). 
 
I think it is safe to say those who knew him… knew what he was capable of and that he was going to win it. 

Putting wrestling to the side, he is just a great young man to be around. He is a good student who is humble and leads with a “quiet strength”. 

This is a nasty level of hating. Kyrel pinned and teched his way through John Hurrle, pinned his way through Marion County, pinned and teched his way to the Al Smith finals, got two falls in the matches Warren wrestled at Team State, pinned his way through sectionals, pinned and teched his way through regionals, pinned his way through semi-state, and teched his opening round at State, won his semis 9-3, and pinned the #1 in the finals… DOMINANT without a doubt.

Yup, you sure got them...if it weren't for their multiple recent state champions and their kids signing some sweet scholarships to great programs, they would probably lose sleep over you not approving of how they did it

How does everyone keep forgetting or overlooking Thrine. I’m not understanding. If he stays at 132, he’s gotta be the #1.

Idk how to help you there, but you kicked ass all year, bro. Congrats this season

I was wrong to use the term “overachievers,” and after being presented with a new perspective, I will be changing the title of this thread if possible.
