The gap between Crown Point and Brownsburg/Center Grove is not that big, was my initial point. In the early 2000's the gap between Mater Dei and the rest of Indiana wasn't even close in a dual format. And in 2003 tournament format wasn't close either.
In a time and era without Academies, clubs and kids moving around to wrestle for the best programs possible, they built and developed a machine that dominated this state for a decade and did it in a school with 500 students.
Crown Point is an incredible team and program, as are Brownsburg and Center Grove. All are probably better than MD was back then.... Everything is better in 2023- nutrition is better, medical care for athletes is better, the overall wrestling product is better today than it was 20 years ago. But the level of dominance over the field now vs. what they did back then is not comparable.
