My name is Maxwell Lacey and I am currently a resident athlete at the Indiana RTC here in Bloomington IN. I am still currently competing on the Senior world circuit at 97kg. I am very new to the Indiana Mat online space but was told this was a good place to get in touch with wrestling people in the area. Im looking to get involved in the Bloomington/Indy  and surrounding area wrestling community, as I have a very high skill level. I can offer unique and tailored training from fundamental basics to world class level techniques and strategies I have attached some information that further breaks down what I can offer. Looking forward to getting and staying in touch.
 
Regards

Solid family! They let my brother come to their house for private sessions during  covid when CIA couldn’t be in the LN room. Noah has really turned it up the last two years! 

These young men are top notch! The level of respect they show to their peers, opponents, coaches, and well everyone is unmatched. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for them because I know it is going to be nothing less that amazing!

These kids are both great wrestlers, but even better young men! They are going to accomplish great things on and off the wrestling mat!

Eleven months after securing their respective tickets to become Rossville’s first IHSAA state wrestling qualifiers since head coach Thomas Lynch in 2002, brothers Noah and Jacob Weaver are working towards a new feat for their school’s record books.
 
The Weaver brothers are two of four total state qualifiers in school history. In a little over a month, in what could be their penultimate year donning the same school colors, Noah and Jacob will look to build on recent winter success to become the Hornets’ first state place winners.
 
“It’s definitely been a unique experience, being able to be alongside Jake and see his growth over time, just being able to be watching him during practice or drilling with him and being able to help him out,” Noah said. “It’s just this back-and-forth advice, feedback between each other. I really like it’s a really neat experience and it’s cool to have.”
 
It’s an “iron sharpens iron” mentality, Jacob said so himself, that drives the two family-oriented brothers to help each other succeed. Close in age with one school year between the two – Noah as the No. 4-ranked 190-pound wrestler as a junior and Jacob, a sophomore ranked No. 6 at 150 pounds (rankings by IndianaMat as of Dec. 27) – the two’s bond through wrestling extends far beyond just the Hornets’ wrestling room.
 
“I’ve always been Noah’s partner throughout all the years even though there’s a size difference,” Jacob said. “Iron sharpens iron, we’re both always trying to make each other better whether it comes to mindset, technique or just training. We always try to motivate each other because we know we can do better.”
 
As sons of former Purdue wrestler Matthew Weaver, getting into wrestling around 5-6 years old and sticking with it was always about their love for the sport. A skill difference in the beginning transferred into a size difference, fostering a teammate-like relationship of collaboration between the two.
 
Where there wasn’t direct competition on the mat – they have always and continued to be in each other’s corner at home, practice and official matches – they made up for in brotherly battles like comparing the number of takedowns in a single season.
 
“Initially, around elementary school, there wasn’t very much competition,” Noah said. “I didn’t really understand wrestling very well, and at that time Jacob had a much better grasp on the fundamentals and he was much more aggressive than me.
 
“We did still have the same goal to eventually become high school state champions.”
 
That goal might not be far off for the two. On Dec. 13 at the Clinton Prairie Invitational, both brothers took home first-place finishes. Noah recorded three consecutive pins for the title, and his six wins logged on IndianaMat in December were via fall. At the same tournament, Jacob tallied two pins, a major decision and a 9-7 title match victory over No. 17 Jayden Jett of Cowan.
 
Although their roles have changed for each other in tournaments from wrestling unattached to as a team, Jacob and Noah are always in each other’s corners.
 
“When we didn’t carry a team with us, Noah was just my teammate through that,” Jacob said. “We would always cheer on each other and try to work with each other. We’d always be a warmup partner, grilling partner, we were kind of bonded with each other no matter what weight we were at.
 
“Even though now when we go to tournaments there’s a 40-pound difference, we still make each other sweat and work hard.”
 
As workout and practice partners, the brothers continuously strive to grow through each other’s guidance.
 
“There have been a couple times when we’ve helped each other be our best,” Noah said. “[One time], we were getting a practice in at our house, and Jacob was just really struggling through it. It was just one of those off days. I was drilling with him and was just trying to encourage him and keep up his attitude. He just pushed through and got through the practice.”
 
Following the 2024-25 season, Noah and Jacob will go their separate ways – for a year, at least – as Noah heads to college and Jacob finishes out his high school career.
 
Regardless of where their futures take them, through wrestling or not, their relationship will continue to grow with the same teammate foundation it’s had since they were kids.
 
“Jacob and I are very family-oriented individuals… so I feel like depending on where we go to college, I don’t believe [our relationship with each other] will change too much,” Noah said. “If we do wrestle, we’ll still probably have that competitive spirit to see who could keep the highest GPA or who could score the most points. I feel like we’ll still keep that competitive spirit, but it’d still be friendly and loving.”

Hard worker and trained at Midwest RTC with Chris Fleeger for a few years. Those Fleeger trained boys are on a whole different level!

Same to you and yours.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. To those of you that are still involved in competition, coach parent or wrestler. Good luck and stay healthy.. About 4 weeks to the state tournament series. Got to love it.

My son jammed his/ turf toe.  He said he tapped his big toe & the next one together and it seemed
to help.  My son would
be wrestling too by the way!!!!

Hmmmm, predictions you say?

It’s pretty pathetic when an official flips his disk and can’t bend over to get it then asks a wrestler to pick it up for him. 

Congratulations!  

Since no one else wants to give this guy his flowers I will.  Ethan Dodson helped lead The Snider Panthers to the 5A Football State Championship this year.  Along the way he earned All State honors as a top 50 player in the state. All this after he committed to compete for the Air Force Academy Falcons next year.  He's an excellent student so I'm certain he'll make Academic All State as well.

Congrats young man, well earned!
