I want to personally apologize to Andy Oberlin from The Fort Wrestling Facility for the DM I sent him on the night after Semi-State.  I want to also apologize for insinuating Andy is biased.  I also would like to apologize to the entire forum for my coarse words.  I'm competitive but I don't want my competitive nature to alter my character.  I will do better going forward.

Did anyone come across a light gray MVHS sweatshirt? My grandson is missing his and would love to get it back. 

I thought this forum was about tough semi state match ups like Ashton Jackson v Daniel Mata, not some mathematical ted talk

ECSS  220 Alternate Zander Paden of Mishawaka is in for SB St Joe's  John Aranowski who was injured at Penn Regionals.

Bisping V Steenbeke at East Chicago

Solomey by Major Decision. Huyvaert makes it closer if they meet later

How can I be wrong about a prediction?  Because I didn't pick your 145?  Sir I can tell you this: I'm not always right: But I'm seldom wrong.  So prove me wrong on this: Northside ain't winning Sectional.  No time soon. Probably because of you and guys like you.  Get your guys better.  Collaborate.  Humble yourself.  Get a mentor.  If you get one Champion at Sectional I'll clap it up.  I could keep going:but then: I'd be wrong.

Please make it the War Memorial.

Yesterday afternoon, an Angola family lost their home in an unfortunate accident. A drunk driver hit a gas meter nearby that triggered an explosion and a fire just mere moments later. The family was unharmed, but they lost their home along with almost all belongings. Their youngest son Brandon (Class of 2022) was a decorated 3-sport athlete and a 4-year heavyweight for our team. The Villafuerte's are some of the nicest people you will ever meet and could use all the help they can get right now with this tragedy just being less than a week before the holidays. Below is a link to the gofundme set up for them:

John Glenn has had a great season competing for the 2A spot. 24-3 as of today with each of those 3 losses by a one match swing. We had a great dual with Bellmont only losing 43-33. Our kids fight and we haven't faced a team yet that has beaten us by more than 1 match. No one else in consideration for 2A can say that. We believe we have showcased what Glenn is capable of and that we are deserving of the vote in at 2A.
 
Next up... the Carnahan!

I'm upset it wasn't on track

Beck over Watts, Watts over Steenbeke, Steenbeke over Beck. 

Brandon Johnson of Lawrence North 8-5 over Chance Harris of Concordia. 

North Putnam really needs to be considered for 1A.  Our results are posted and we will continue to post.  Our losses have came to top teams like Cascade and Owen Valley and we competed with these teams.   We lost by 3 points to #9 Southmont by only 3 and wound have won but and a first year varsity kid get defensively pinned when he was up 8-0 and laid his own back on the mat spladleing the kid.  He learned a valuable lesson.   

Brandon Johnson of Lawrence North at 220 pounds pinned Greg Johnson of Warren Central last night. He’s already beat Degroat of Connersville 8-0 so far this year as well.

Congratulations to Toby Billerman from Perry Meridian for signing with Southern Illinois Edwardsville. Projected to wrestle 125.
