My son, who is a baseball player, took a few years off after high school to get his head right. He was a member of the Indiana Bulls program through high school but lost his way his junior year and disappeared from the radar of coaches. Last year he made a choice to resurrect his career and live in the dorm at Ancilla. He made great friendships while enjoying the school/instructors. They do a great job of being there for the student; my son is returning even though he had other options so I believe that speaks volumes of his experience. I give the school 2 thumbs-up!!

Tristan Moran, 17-5, ranked #11 (6-4 in last 10) B10 Wins: Cole Martin, Parker Filius, Chad Red, Mitch McKee, Justin Benjamin B10 Losses: Max Murin, Luke Pletcher, Nick Lee Chad Red, 15-6, ranked #5 (7-3 in last 10) B10 Wins: Mitch McKee, Cole Martin, Eddie Bolivar, Matt Santos, Max Murin, B10 Losses: Luke Pletcher (2x), Nick Lee, Tristan Moran Max Murin, 12-1, ranked #7 (9-1 in last 10) B10 Wins: Mitch McKee, Parker Filius, Eddie Bolivar, Dylan Duncan, Tristan Moran B10 Losses: Chad Red Just looking at the data, I would have Murin the 3rd seed as well.....the 4th seed is very debatable between Red & Moran.

Missed them all Jason....keep the day job!

I won Fort Wayne, and took 7th overall which would be similar to winning Semi-State & standing on the Podium!

Lowery and Viduya accomplished that feat as well.

I would include the following: Bettich at 120 Viduya at 145. Dickens at 160 LaPlace at 195

At the very least he would appreciate knowing where to eat in the Region because I know he travels a bunch doing radio!! Personally I like Mr. Rakestraw hosting the event but they definitely need to either (1) improve their knowledge or (2) add people who know the wrestlers background (youth - high school).

New Castle -- 8 Evansville -- 2 East Chicago -- 3 Fort Wayne -- 1

1. I will agree that is a large disparity, moving a few schools in exchange for smaller schools will balance out the talent pool. 2. Could it happen, yes....does it happen, I don't know. It has been my experience athletes will participate if they enjoy the sport. I have been involved in sports for 35+ years (high school, CYO, Travel) and personally I have never heard any athlete state "I am quitting because our team can't win in the postseason". 3. I am in agreement with you, trying harder does not = winning. I remember playing golf in high school and in my SECTIONAL you had to shoot damn near even par to get out when other sites you could post a score in the 80's to advance. Fast forward 35 years....same thing is occurring but the sport has survived and I would guess the participants have grown. JMO, but challenges from a superior opponent does not make a quitter, that attitude was there from the beginning.

Lowering the talent level at one site will increase the talent level at a different site. I just believe it is impossible to make all things equal for everyone.

Naturally successful postseason runs (at any level) will help a program, but unfortunately it is NOT possible to allow every athlete/program to have success. You do the best you can but you must realize that it will not be equal for all; that is impossible to achieve. I am sure wrestlers who lose because of a tough draw (Sectional, Regional or SS) know they could have easily advanced at a weaker venue but I guarantee it will help them in the long run. Experiencing failure is vital to achieve quality learning and growing into adulthood.

On average, a SS should have 5 kids STATE ranked Top 20 and 2.5 STATE ranked Top 10. 106 = 5 / Top 10 = 4 113 = 7 / Top 10 = 4 120 = 7 / Top 10 = 4 126 = 5 / Top 10 = 2 132 = 7 / Top 10 = 4 138 = 5 / Top 10 = 4 145 = 8 / Top 10 = 4 152 = 5 / Top 10 = 4 160 = 6 / Top 10 = 2 170 = 4 / Top 10 = 3 182 = 7 / Top 10 = 2 195 = 5 / Top 10 = 4 220 = 4 / Top 10 = 2 285 = 5 / Top 10 = 4

My prediction on how many from each team will advance: Cathedral 9 Roncalli 6 Warren Central 6 Carmel 4 Zionsville 4 East Central 3 Franklin Central 2 Greenfield Central 2 Hamilton Southeastern 2 North Central 2 Perry Meridian 2 Anderson 1 Fishers 1 Indianapolis Lutheran 1 Lawrence Central 1 Lawrence North 1 Lawrenceburg 1 Lebanon 1 Milan 1 New Castle 1 New Palestine 1 North Montgomery 1 Richmond 1 Shenandoah 1 Westfield 1

The best they could finish would be 1st and 2nd. The 2nd place finisher will see a Semi-State Champ at the same time as a 3rd place finisher.....Saturday morning.

He finished 3rd at DAC, dnp at Al Smith, and 3rd at Regional. That quarter bracket is not a killer, which leads itself to a surprise advancer, but I would slot him behind Tirana and Stall. With that said, he has a shot if he wrestles his best all year.

Good luck trying to preview the remaining semi-states in 2 shows. New Castle alone could have 24 matches involving State Ranked wrestlers BEFORE the semi’s are determined. I say you have a show per semi-state to allow for ‘free-lancing’.

OUTSTANDING job as always: STATE RANKED = 4 (1 did not wrestle in Sectional, 1 did not wrestle in Regional, 2 lost at Regional) 276 / 280 = 98.57% wrestlers remaining NCSS = 6 (2 did not wrestle in Sectional, 4 eliminated at Regional) 106 / 112 = 94.64% wrestlers remaining EVSS = 16 (3 did not wrestle in Sectional, 1 did not wrestle in Regional, 12 eliminated at Regional) 124 / 140 = 88.57% wrestlers remaining FWSS = 16 (2 did not wrestle in Regional, 3 eliminated at Sectional, 11 eliminated at Regional) 124 / 140 = 88.57% wrestlers remaining ECSS = 16 (1 did not wrestle in Sectional, 2 eliminated at Sectional, 13 eliminated at Regional) 124 / 140 = 88.57% wrestlers remaining
