Congrats Guys!

Congratulations and good luck!

I have two tickets I won't use

I believe that at all four Semi States ran the semis on 4 mats this year

Although there were many to thank, Trino Cavazos, AD, Pablo Maldonado and Frank Porras, Tournament Directors, did an awesome job of organizing things. Thanks!

Done!

RIP Coach. I appreciate all you have done for wrestling, track and CC!

IHSWCA Team State... Saturday Jan 2, 2016 in Ft Wayne

Due to the on-going shortage of IHSAA licensed officials in many sports, including Wrestling, the IHSAA has implemented a scholarship program in which each of the 24 athletic officials associations will be granted ten scholarships as a means to motivate the recruitment of new officials. Currently, the licensing fee to become a first time IHSAA officials is $50 for up to three sports, while the relicensing fee each year after that is $67. This program was designed to help offset the initial cost of becoming licensed, and thus attract some new and prospective officials to the fold. In addition, many of the athletic officials associations will also waive the local association fees to further ease the financial burden of getting started. I can speak specifically for the Calumet Athletic Officials Association in NW Indiana, as we implemented our own scholarship program a few years back in which we paid the IHSAA dues for 11 new officials each year, as well as waiving their local association dues of $30 per year. The IHSAA was impressed by our local program, and decided to follow suit. A complete list of the 24 athletic officials associations, as well as the President, Secretary, and Sports Chairpersons for each association is available via the IHSAA and Asst Commissioner Sandra Walter. You may find the information at www.ihsaa.org , on the Arbiter at http://ihsaa.arbitersports.com/front/103543/Site/Area/ASOA1, or by contacting Asst Commissioner Walter at swalter@ihsaa.org Please keep in mind that the ten scholarships per association are intended for all sports, and not just wrestling. It is also my understanding that those scholarships not used by a particular association can be transferred and used by other associations, as some of the larger associations may have a greater need than the smaller associations. Regardless, let's not let them go unused... if you have contemplated getting your license, take advantage of the free licensure and give it a try! Thanks, Chuck Barnett, IHSAA Official Secretary and Wrestling Chairman, Calumet Athletic Officials Association

well deserved! Congrats!

Stay strong, Coach Jay!

And one Missing Link

March 15 at Lawrence North HS... not sure of the time

Rule 5 Section 18 Page 24 Out of bounds occurs when a supporting part of both wrestlers is beyond the boundary line (See Photo 11 on pages 62-63 of the NFHS Rule Book)

It's actually 75% to get your license, and you only have to take the test once in your life if you don't apply to work the tournament series. If, however, you apply to work the tournament series, you must take the test every year and score at least 90%

I'm pretty sure they redrew all of them.... some just happened to be drawn the same as they were the first time

As a coach told me once.... That's not a full nelson, that's two half nelsons!

David Clayton, Perry Meridian, at 120. It occurred at Lowell on December 20.

Yes, every working official at the match has the same authority to rule on such matters, whether they are the actual mat official or not.

Covering a contagious skin condition is not allowed as an acceptable alternative, and allowing the use of a doctor's note that is not on the IHSAA approved form is also not acceptable
