(1) ....Just a quick fact,  total enrollment of 10 teams  at the Frankfort sectional was 16,646 and compare that to the 12 teams in the Twin Lakes sectional which had total enrollment of 6,104.

 

(2) I think the daunting affect of a Clinton Central or Rossville having to face Carmel or Hamilton Southeastern every year could be discouraging and ultimately could affect participation or effort.

 

(3) Experiencing failure is a good thing to learning and developing character,  but kids are also smart and they know it when they face overwhelming odds. It can affect their effort and participation.  It just doesn't come down to if we try harder, well end up winning.

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.

I totally understand that and agree with you, but wouldn't we want to maximize the chance of an opportunity?  

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.

..... It is very frustrating for kids to see competition that they have beaten have post season success and the only reason for it is because of a more balanced Sectional.  You can't tell me that having kids with a successful post season does not help build a program.

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:

Really disappointed to see Noehre and Rodgers land on the same side of the bracket.  One of them will come into state as a 3rd place finisher - and will be a tough draw for the other #1's to have in their quarter bracket

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.

106 Jackson advances 

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

East Chicago Central -- #3 Darcy, #13 Perez, #19 McLean

I pick the Perry Meridian, 132 weight, as being the most difficult.  4 ranked wrestlers (3 top 10) and they don't face each other in the 1st round.

Previous State Champ:

120 - Bettich (Michigan); 132 - Mendez;  145 - Viduya;  160 - Rodgers; 195 - Allred;  285 - Keys

State Runner-up:

113 - Cottey;  120 - Seltzer;  120 - Bettich (Michigan);  126 - Rioux;  138 - Boarman;  145 - Viduya;   160 - Rodgers;  160 - Noehre;  170 - Fielden

3x State Placer:

120 - Bettich (MI & IN);  126 - Rioux;  126 - Lowery;  138 - Campbell;  145 - Viduya;  152 - Boe;  182 - Winner  

3x State Qualifier:

132 - Cottingham (3x SQ);  170 - Calhoun (2x placer, 1x SQ); 195 - LaPlace (1x placer, 2x SQ)

Things to consider when picking a "lock".

I am sure upsets will occur, and I picked a few, but there is a great chance 9 or 10 Final matches will pit two state ranked wrestlers against each other.

120 at NC is disgusting as well..7 ranked studs with 4 of the top 10..1,4,7,10,13,14,19!

Similar to 120, 113 at NCSS:

#1 Cottey, #4 Anthony, #8 Wolf, #10 Wilburn, #11 Carrender, #12 Hooper, #14 Gilthero

81 ranked kids probably could have been 95-100, splitting hairs when you get to 17-25.

Perry Meridian takes home the trophy with a 3.5 point victory over Roncalli. Rebels held a 16.5 point lead with 4 matches to go — 182 - Warren (1st) pins Southport (6 points - Rebels lead at 10.5); 195 - McClure (1st) pins Roncalli (6 points - Rebels lead at 4.5); 220 - Goodall pins Roncalli (6 points - Rebels behind 1.5); 285 (3rd) - Holiday with a 1-0 win over Roncalli to seal the deal.

Exciting day and looking forward to one of the top regionals in the state (Perry) and IMO the deepest semi-state (New Castle) over the next 2 weeks.
