On a more positive note; both days of wrestling at Franklin went very smoothly. We were out of the school by 10:15 PM, Saturday and 12:45 PM on Sunday. All of our kids had an enjoyable experience. The fieldhouse is a great place to hold a wrestling tournament. Pat VanHorn, Chris Lynch and the entire Franklin Community wrestling program should be congratulated for such a great event.
Briar Runyan is the 2009 Indy Star Wrestler of the Year and Lance Ellis is the Coach of the year.

Congratulations to Briar and Lance.
At last look it is on for Thursday, 02/05/09, 6:00 PM at Seymour HS. Weigh-ins at 5:00 PM
A move to next Tuesday or Wednesday certainly makes more sense for each of the four teams involved. As it stands each of the four teams will have minimal practice time before individual regionals.
New Castle, Columbus North and Roncalli are sectional team winners advancing to the Seymour team regional. We are just waiting for the team champion from the South Dearborn sectional.
It appears to me that the teams being impacted are New Castle, Columbus North, Roncalli and the evential winner of the South Dearborn sectional. How about letting the individual tournament proceed on Saturday and postpone the Seymour team regional to Wednesday, 02/11/09. This assumes that the South Dearborn sectional can be completed on Thursday.
I just observed on Indianapolis TV that UCCJSD (Union County) schools are closed, tomorrow. How will this impact the conclusion of the South Dearborn sectional? Additionally, will this delay the Seymour team regional to Friday? That makes little sense. How about postponing the Seymour team regional to next Wednesday?
It appears that changes/additions can be accomplished after the deadline by paying the IHSAA $100 and a call to one of the IHSAA Executive Staff..............
According to the current Winter Bulletin, the list is submitted electronically at the IHSAA member school web site: www.ihsaa.net . It is due by 4:00 PM, 01/20/09.
The following is from the current Winter Bulletin:
