I wonder how that works out that way????

Probably transferred families to get a better wrestling team.

Adams Central had 11 Seniors in 208-2019 out of 26 on the roster. Nine of them were in the line-up on Senior night, but only 6 at sectional.

Looks good.

 

I know Cook from AC hasn't wrestled much since he had an injury, I expect to see him contend at SS though.  Darkhorse for those who do brackets.

 

Also, when the young Myers boy from Bellmont hits the lineup, I'm guessing he'll end up top 4 easy at 170 or 182.  They've been saying on the radio he'll be back in action soon.  Watch out for that kid.  

Cook re-injured his arm at team state and may be done for the year. Not sure at this point.

The rest of that quote is "and they all stink."

I got to know Don while working at the FW Semi-state and enjoyed the conversations we had. In one of them I found out his daughter and I work for the same company. She asked me to send her a link to this post so she could show it to her Mother. If you'd like to share your memories here Don's wife should be able to see them.

I've got lots of questions about wearing the uniforms for weigh-in. Do the weights of uniforms vary? i.e. Is a two piece uniform heavier than a singlet? Even .1 pound could make a difference to some guys who are borderline. We had a freshman miss weight last year because he didn't take off a pair of heavy socks before stepping on the scale. The rule doesn't say the wrestler has to wear the same uniform in the match that they wore for weigh-ins, so will we see a new line of "lightweight" singlets? Will wrestlers wear uniforms when they establish their prime weight for weight management purposes? It's just something everyone will have to adjust to. Tony always wants his wrestlers .2 under before they leave for a tournament since scales vary.

2. In a recovery or a injury timeout situation,  referees do not want to end the match,  and Im sure they gave the full extent of time allowed the full two minutes and probably a few extra seconds. And at the end of the two minutes, they would have asked the injured wrestler and coach if he can continue or not?  I guarantee  the refs did this and explained the situation that the SW wrestler would be disqualified.   Again, the refs cant make a subjective opinion if the wrestler is healthy to go or not.

Unless things have changed in the past few years the wrestler or coaches can't choose to go on or not if a trainer is called onto the mat. It's the trainer's call. That caused a big problem a while back when a trainer didn't know they only had a limited time to make the decision and refused to let a wrestler continue. Also, didn't know saying they wouldn't release the wrestler caused a default situation.

By these numbers, Ft. Wayne was by far the most balanced semi-state followed by New Castle.

Heard on the local news (I think) that FW had champions from 14 different schools. No one got a second champ. Don't know if I've ever seen that before.

Friedt from Bellmont went up to 195

There's another Fiechter, William,  who qualified for state last year.  I think they may now lead the way in family victories.  William has at least one more year,  maybe two.

We do a MOW.  Most Outstanding.  It takes the guesswork out.  Who went the farthest.   Your MOW AND MVP(W) are definitely or can definitely be different.  

AC is similar to Garrett. We don't give a MVW award, but give a BAGUBA of the year, since BAGUBA involves more than just winning. It typically goes to the wrestler who advances the farthest in the tournament, but this year Macklin and Mosser shared it. Macklin placed while Mosser was eliminated Friday night, but Mosser had a better regular season and embodied the personality of a BAGUBA.

Gray finished 6th, so that should have pushed Norwell past Bellmont.

Jashawn Berlanga set a new school record for Adams Central Saturday with his 30th fall of the season. Probably not close to the state record, though.

Did the rankings not paste in?

The ACAC has moved to Friday as well. Weigh-ins at 5:30.

Yes, per their Facebook page, the Berne Witness will be webcasting again this Saturday.

We had an unusual situation regarding alternates. Our 285 weighed in and made weight easily. After weigh-ins the officials removed him from participating because of a skin condition, even though he had a valid, signed slip. That is their prerogative. The fifth place was unavailable so a forfeit was entered in his place. The wrestler he was supposed to face was the eventual regional champion. So, now the forfeit is the alternate instead of someone who could actually participate if needed.

Some wrestlers/coaches could be looking at possible match-ups farther down the road when the tournament series begins. If you seed a wrestler he is committed to that weight, but if you don't enter him at seeding he can be a replacement at his normal weight or one class higher, if that would give him a better chance to advance. The delay would let you review the other sectionals feeding your regional and semi-state to make your decision before Saturday. I don't like doing this because it could push a kid who would've finished second down to third and give him a harder match at regional.

I agree that just substituting the bye for the dropped team in the schedule is the fairest, but I don't have a problem with the host team not having a bye. They have the most time and expense invested in the event and, in many cases, will have the most fans there since they don't have to travel. Their fans will be working tables and concessions, so I'd see not having a bye as a reward for the effort put into holding the event. If it is a last minute cancellation the host can't be held at fault for not filling it. Most schedules are full at this time of year.

Indiana wrestling lost another great coach and man this weekend when former Leo and New Haven coach, Bill Kerbel passed away. Condolences to his wife and family can be added here:

Please get rid of the prompt that requires me to verify that I want to mark the entire forum as read. It's just an extra step and doesn't gain anything. The topics are still available whether they are marked read or not.

He's out with injuries. It looked like his wrist was in a cast at regional.

The Jay County Regional has had a few changes so far.

More than one? I knew Hill from AC was in at 160 in place of Shaffer from SA. Who else?
