what a great opportunity for laplace... and wasn't brewer on a similar roll last year? until he got to elijah mahan on friday night?? is it just a coincidence that laplace has a similar style to mahan?? just sayin... its gonna be a real interesting match up... i don't see a major either.
-
what do you mean "huh? you said you didn't know if you would have made the call and eluded that earlier in the tournament fattore was in danger of a similar call. or did i read your post backward?? i thought my reply was very plain and to the point. no?
-
fattore=class act
-
really? if indeed that is the case then no sectional assignment for you as well. maybe in the future this should be final criteria for officials advancement show them this video and hear their choice. if after the fact you cant admit the clear blown call.... well... just no words.
-
Calm down Mr emotional I said it's NOT about you. Hahaha.... my brain is what?? What is your major malfunction son? You do make me laugh.... how about you post another paragraph about less nothing... take a deep breath......
-
Don't be so emotional its not about you either. Remember?
-
No... it's not about me. but right is right lol....

PATHETIC no account job of officiating is exactly what it was no less no more
-
If that's really your take.... I had same angle as ref I was middle of mat 2 during injury time. That particular ref should not get a sectional assignment in the future I know we will scratch him from this point on. No less than pathetic call
-
My first post of the year but I can not sit silent for this b s call. I was 25 ft away mat level. This type of officiating is what calls into question the integrity of officials in general. A ft wayne official making a redicullous call like this in favor of a wrestler from the ft semi state. PATHETIC at best. Get your scratch sheets ready. Any decent official wouldn't have made that call in a fees tyler match. He needs to be sat in front of this video and imbarassed.

weigh-ins? How much allowance will there be?
-
sitting in the opposite corner during the #145 final was very interesting. in my opinion "Fabio's" choice of words, in match, to his wrestler more disrespectful of his wrestlers opponent than helpful to a wrestler that caliber of Brayton Lee. Just my opinion. my assistant agreed.

I think the real question is how could it possibly help the quality? Even if there were only two classes wouldn't each be watered down? it would seem the only real argument for an overall rise in quality would be the increased participation that some would expect. So then we have to ask how many years would it take to see a rise in numbers? And during those years how watered down would talent become in each class? Given the fact that most states with class wrestling have numbers that far exceed Indiana's
-
Couldn't agree more...
-
In my opinion there is very little or no validity to the first point. It gives almost no credence to the fact the grass roots level is what increased participation is all about and it starts at home with parents that see the value of what this sport does for kids. for instance having gym classes at the grade school level that have say a 1 month stretch where wrestling is the activity. In my opinion that type of intro to wrestling does far more for participation than any change or implementation at the high school level ever could. The second point is a better one in my opinion concerning participation but still doesn't seem to really relate to a class wrestling argument. there are plenty of kids from what would be 1A schools that attend an academy that has no particular school or city affiliation, and trains kids from all schools. So it becomes a mecca of wrestling quality that benefits everyone and creates a level of competition at a young age which allows small school kids to compete on the same level as big school kids and that projects directly into high quality high school wrestling across the board regardless of school size. So in my opinion the "fairness" aspect is really the only valid point. and certainly not a point that would help the sport from a quantity or quality perspective. just a distraction...

Indiana State Champs vs Ohio potential champs
MCKAJC replied to Wrestling Scholar's topic in Past Discussions
Very well stated. I also couldn't make the leap of faith required to assume class wrestling could be a factor in greater participation. -
I was mat side and in my opinion I didn't think any of the 3 returns was a slam. all were good solid returns that sounded loud on the dollamur mat. the sound echoed and made it seem worse specially on the third. terrible way to decide a great match
-
i don't think the two venues are very comparable from parking and access to public areas and seating for the fans to the overall facility for the wresters and coaches. I think the biggest issue yesterday at EC was the fact that the IHSAA provided only 2 coaches passes per team. that wouldn't seem to be very well thought out. but in my opinion i'd give EC a solid 8+ on a 10 point scale and mville a 3 on the same scale. just my opinion
-
thanks mike. bitter sweet is exactly what it was too. graham Calhoun is a super kid very humble with his win easy to root for that kid. but it did break my heart for cody followed by jasons win in the final. I was really happy for him finishing his sr year in the region with a nice semi state tournament.
-
agreed. it got him in a little trouble against lamore but it doesn't look like it gets to him he's real consistant with his attacks
-
yeah great job as always Mike.... I know a lot of work goes into it. well done!! ya gotta love it to do a job this good... thanks man.

Who the heck do you give OW to at the Al Smith?
MCKAJC replied to maligned's topic in Past Discussions
Conner Gimson @132 looked really good both days he stood out. I'd have given him OW very solid in every position as a soph. not sure there was a close second for me regardless of tournament choice. -
Weighins 8am?
-
lol... if not for the "believe it or not" I'd agree.
-
Believe it or not?? it would seem that when you have a USA Wrestling "top 50" club right next door it would benefit any wrestler to be there when you can. the Chesterton crew is there most every night when out of high school season. they've been mainstays for years at RWA
