Evansville 37 Fort Wayne 28 ECC 26 NC 21

Me too.. but he went to state in football and wrestling. What a high school career!

If my math is correct... 152-285 placers from each semi state. Evansville gets all four at 195 and almost gets all four at 160 and 170. Fort Wayne gets all four at 160 and find themselves in 2nd place in the semi state race. Evansville 20 Fort Wayne 14 ECC 12 New Castle 10

#4 over #1 with Saunders THN over Koltookian Concord. Although Saunders was ranked 10th and Koltookian wasn't at all.

Gunnar Henry with a solid win over a tough Hunter Page.

I overheard Floyd Central fans talking at Semi state in the morning that he hasn't been feeling well for a few weeks. OR something to that effect..

#2 Ranked and injured Khajawa goes down to Braun of Cathedral. Braun has 7 losses and is ranked #12 but tough wrestler. I can see him making the finals!

Phillips pulls off the 4 over 1 with a 7-2 win over Cast

WOW

May Mater Dei 22-5 over Currie Adams Central 47-1 with a score of 9-1. Good win for Mater Dei.

DuPont nearly pulls off a 4 over 1 but loses to Betz 3-1.

Starting now!

Agree... Also, I think the most impressive thing about Jesse was his freshman year. Won a weight class with what.. two state champs? Or a state champ and a runner up?

It took me 45 minutes of either my seats disappearing, timing out, or technical issues and I finally got two tickets. I logged into Ticketmaster and that seemed to help but IHSAA dropped the ball again on wrestling state finals. The system wouldn't let me select two seats if there was a single seat left in the isle. So I would try to buy the single seat just to get tickets but it wouldn't allow me.... I went from selecting front row to middle of the Fieldhouse!! ahh

Nice Work!

There is no doubt Crown Point benefited from having Center Grove, Brownsburg, and Mater Dei battle it out at the same semi state. But no fault of their own! They will win the IHSAA state with ease...

1. It's such a brutal semi state that state champions/placers/qualifiers don't make it through the gauntlet. 2. This was the worst semi state experience I've had. The place was freezing! low 60's on the floor. Not good for wrestlers or fans. NO TRACK SCORES ON THE BIG SCREEN? No wifi? The announcer for the finals did not emphasize the wrestlers or their accomplishments. It was monotone announcing. On top of that, you could barely understand what he was saying between the music playing and the low quality PA system. Luckily, great wrestling made up for it. 3. Great job to Triple B and his minions for picking 12 of the 14 champions! Their picks were pretty spot on. 106-All four of these wrestlers can place next weekend with the right draw. Hockaday the favorite to win state. 113-Wow! Haines beats Seng with about 2 seconds left on the clock with a beautiful switch. Seng looked good though. Big win for Goss over Krueger in the ticket. 120-This weight started with 10 ranked wrestlers but only two ranked wrestlers actually punched their ticket! First, Miller goes down via headlock in the first round. Then a few minutes later, McFeeley upsets Zirklebach! That's one state champ and one state placer that didn't make it out of the first round! Oh wait, Egli goes down to Syra first round too. Egli won semi state last year with four pins! Tough draw for the talented young man. Cowden was beating the headlock monster Dunn 11-0 when Dunn threw the headlock and pinned him to punch his ticket. But he wasn't DUNN yet! HE then picked off McFeeley in the battle of unbeatens. Lykins handled Kessinger and Syra to punch his ticket. Gilbert gave up some stalling points to a battle tested Courtney and escaped with a one point win. Gilbert over Lykins in overtime in the semi finals and then Gilbert pinned Dunn in the finals. Gilbert is now 12-0 at semi state with two pins in the finals match. 126- Butler had a close match with Glenn in the ticket but separated himself from the pack with good wins over KT and Haines. 132-Ison and Schoeff battle it out again. I sure hope the state finals brackets don't have Ison vs Anthony on Friday night! Kresija with a quick pin over Hammack in the ticket round. Mooresville regional sweeps this weight. 138-Garcia with a statement pin over Hayhurst in the finals and major decision over Turner in the semi finals. Kid really turned it up since last year! Freshman Roudebush quietly punches his ticket. 145-As expected, Watson over Garcia in the finals. These two should place next weekend. Oliver with two big matches to punch his ticket over Smith and Lody. 152-Cicciarelli over May in the semis. DuPon punches his ticket as a regional 4th place finisher here. 160-Conway goes through Boe and Law to win. Throw in Newman and you have four kids who are more than capable of placing top 8. Boe is 38-1 and a terrible draw for any 2nd place finisher. 170-Another 3rd place finisher from Eville will get a 2nd place finisher nightmares is Khawaja from Floyd Central. Phillips is 40-2 and will scare any Semi state champ he draws Friday night. Baumman ahead of the field here. Farmer is underrated. Most of his losses are probably to Baummann and Khajawa. 182-Buchanan makes a statement over Henry. Henry is such a tough freshman. We have three more years of him! McBee gets a bad draw when Emerine dropped out. That allowed Regional 4th place finisher Alex Rose to punch his ticket! Look for Schroeder of Southridge to place. 195-Sollars, Purdy, Willman. Studs. 4th place regional finisher Higgins 16-16 tech falls Sam Allen 9-1 first round. Didn't see that coming! 220-Critchield cruises to victory. Morril and Farmer are both tough as nails. 285- Jones handles business. Johnson from Center Grove is only a sophomore but looks and wrestles like a senior. Beau Noland of North Knox finishes around 26 wins and 26 pins but one loss in the ticket round.

Stud running back for a powerhouse football team! Congrats

Great write up TRIPLE B!!

Since Lee already won a national title, my hope is Red can win one this year or more likely, Red, Lee, and Micic all place top 8. That would be neat... preferably 1,2,3

Really? No one has slept on Henry all year. He just beat Buchanan as well. Henry is a top 3 placer.

No relevance or conclusion at all. I think the salaries are interesting. I looked them up to see if Purdue just pays their coaches more all round etc. That's all.

Interesting salary between the two head coaches for 2021. Escobedo- $111,000 Ersland- $142,000 For reference- IU basketball coach- 4.7 million PU basketball coach- 2.4 million IU football coach- 4.5 million PU football coach- 5.1 million

Revin Dickman became a three time middle school state champ yesterday. He joins Jesse Mendez on the elite list. Who else has won three times? Has anyone won 4 times? Landon Hawkins 1,1,2 Parker Reynolds 1,1, ? Evan Stanley 1,1,3 Future three timers?? 5th grader Spenser McCammon won 65lbs and has a chance to be a four time winner. 7th grader and 70lbs Alex Huddleston is a two time winner and has a chance to be a three time winner.

Big win for Hayden Lohrey over Kasper McIntosh! Bonus points proved the difference. IU closing the gap.. slowly but surely.
