Hard to bet against Streck, I think people forget his State tournament resume.... 2x State Champ 3rd as a Sophomore and 7th as a Freshman (both years with a loss to eventual champs Bernard and Winfield) Had a total of 8 falls in his 4 years at the tournament. I think he gets tucked away sometimes in talks of Best big guys of all time. He was a pretty athletic and quick big guy he did not wrestle like a traditional heavyweight.

We need to seriously evaluate the way that our Officials in Indiana move up through the ranks, not just in wrestling but across all sports. I say this because it was explained to me that our system is implemented by the IHSAA. For those that are not aware of our system, you have to have "x" amounts of tournaments at each level before you can move on to the next. I think in a time that we are being told our Officials are getting older and more scarce, that we start to reward our better young Officials with ascending through our tournament series more quickly. I mean what is the point of rating a guy a "semi-state" level if he can not even officiate one? Oh, and while I am on my soapbox here, we should also have a minimum number of slots that are reserved in which we vote the best officials in the State. How crazy is it some of the guys we consider the best have to sit out every two years, I think this is the time frame, someone correct me if I am wrong. If we want our best wrestlers there, then we should want our best Officials there as well. In our current system, it is possible that you can reach an NCAA Championships faster than you can our IHSAA State Finals. I am not saying to blow the whole system up, there are pros and cons, as such with anything. However, we should really look into tweaking this system, so we can reward these younger up and coming stud Officials that we are talking about in this thread.

I am guessing he meant a change to the number of matches in one day?

Hopefully all of the events surrounding this weekend will be held at the more spacious and more $eating of Lucas Oil Stadium. Guess we will have to wait and see. UPDATE: Well, looked it up myself and does appear it will be at Gainbridge. Last time it was hosted by Indy was 1985, but it was at the Hoosier Dome.

Coach, thanks for the update. All of our guys were concerned and will be glad to hear he is doing well.

Girls Events and Counting Toward HS Record Question
XCard replied to XCard's topic in Past Discussions
Are we sure that these count toward their IHSAA point schedule? I can see why the team state would, but the girls events I feel are unique in the fact that boys are not allowed to enter these contests. Can anyone show me were this was ruled upon? -
I meant to ask this prior to the start of Sectionals. How many teams count the girls events toward their individual high school records? We did not count any wins or losses accrued during the Regional and State tournament on our wrestler's record because this is not an IHSAA event nor does it count toward their scheduled allotted points. Am I correct in interpreting it this way? This was an issue at our Sectional last year that would have changed the way a kid was seeded had the wins not been counted for the female wrestler. Thoughts?
-
Some of the 200 level seats are now available. Honestly I have nothing to compare this to when it comes to purchasing reserved seating for a High School event. Obviously there are some kinks that are going to need to be worked out. I do think the pre-sale for the wrestlers was a good idea to have reserved seating for them and family.

If Crown Point attended Evansville...
XCard replied to Joe Exotics Wildcats's topic in Past Discussions
Is this how we sounded too when our Semi-State used to produce a similar depth of the Evansville SS? How about when three of the four Regionals feeding into the Semi-State were producing some pretty solid individuals and some not so favorable draws? Well if we did, when the next wave comes around, which it usually does for each semi-state, well at least three, sorry Ft. Wayne, I am going to be a lot more quiet than previous years. -
If this is the trade off for getting Reserved seating, I will take it. It is a step in the right direction in my eyes and hopefully can be tweaked in the future after this year to make it better for everyone involved. I personally would like to see the IHSAA set aside some seats for the parents of the wrestlers in the Finals Saturday night. An accomplishment that great deserves a front row seat for them to watch.

I was informed by an Official (psst if you are reading this a little help) at our Sectional, the ruling for this came from Mr. Faulkens in an email. It was explained to us at the Sectional and again at the Regional that it can not be more than 2" above or below the pad. Most have said if it extends and stays tucked in socks, singlet, shoes, etc. they are not looking that closely. However if it comes out and is in violation of the 2" limit, penalties will be assessed. I too mentioned the rule and as it is written in the book and told that the Commissioner's ruling supersedes the rule in the book. As stated by previous comments here, this seems to be called a little differently everywhere you go and whomever the Official may be at that time. Hopefully our association can get this cleared up and it is clarified moving forward.

What kind of odds we talking on this? If I was a betting man, taking the under, all falls, and no.
-
You were about a second and fingers breaking apart close to being 14 of 14. Not sure how much closer that can get. Great match by both guys though, congrats to Sawyer on the title. Good luck next week to all the wrestlers from one of the "weakest" Regionals in the State.

In about two weeks, the conversation of Best ever overall will more than likely be a topic of discussion.
-
This is an excellent question. Can anyone from the IHSWCA get us the correct ruling on this scenario?

Autocorrect man, autocorrect!
