This would be such a great tool and discussion piece if people would just post all of their results. If we could just get dual scores from every team in the state.........
-
Ya, I was wondering the same thing. As much as it sucks that some teams get an unfair advantage in a 9 or 10 team bracket, I just don't know how fair it is to just not count a match entirely. It's too bad their isn't a better solution, because in some cases you get two guys that are 10-15 in that rattail match and its a competitive match and there's no reason that shouldn't count towards overall team scores.
-
sorry Karl, didn't realize. Glad you agree. -
No, pick 5 guys from each weight class. Designate one of them as your champion, and you will get points for each state qualifier that you correctly select. Picking 5 this year instead of 4 gets you a little bit of margin of error. Everybody will obviously get one guy wrong because there are only 4 state qualifiers.

I think the extra cost comes in when you have to hold (appx.) 16,000 3rd graders back statewide. While not only creating a logistical problem because of a huge drop in 4th grade enrollment and a subsequent increase in 3rd grade enrollment, it is going to mean that 16,000 kids are in school one year longer, which would eventually equate to needing more teachers. Obviously, I think the figure that was thrown out (20% statewide are failing), would slowly drop, and it would not be as drastic as it would be......next year for example. That being said, I do know a lot of elementary education graduates looking for a job, so maybe it would at least help them.

Last year I just tallied them up on my own because not that many people wanted to take the time to look through all 8 sectionals and make predictions. I think this way is a lot more fun because you definitely have to know who is who in this area. You can either post them here for all to see (preferably) or private message me or e-mail me. Whatever works. We had a lot of fun with this. (Especially looking at how many of our picks didn't make it out of regionals (or sectionals!))
-
I think we did this last year and it was pretty fun. Here is what I remember. Pick the Semi-State Champ in each weight class, along with FOUR others that you think will qualify for state. (Obviously we do not know the formula for the semi-state yet) I am not sure of the scoring, so I will have to look it up and post it later. You get points for picking the correct SS Champ along with points for picking the correct state qualifiers for each weight class. Based on last year, I think if we all pick 5 guys, that gives us some room for bad draws at state. -You will also get one point if one of your picks was knocked out by one of your other picks at the Semi-state level.

I was under $4/hr last year in my first year of teaching. What does it say about our educational system when we put our full-time teachers (with bachelors degrees) on welfare.
-
Wouldn't it be funny if Tony Bennett actually listened to people and/or teachers that actually work in school buildings to do his job rather than being a puppet for Mitch Daniels?
-
Would you like to take over the duties next year? I am sure they will be updated sometime soon.
-
Even though it would change our little world on this board drastically, I do think there is some merit to leaving athletics out of the school environment. Plenty of other countries use club sports instead of school sports. I know there are a lot of positives to the setup that we have, but in some cases, schools are misusing the resources that they have and not focusing on their most important goal. I don't know what the solution is to our current budget problems, but I know it's NOT cutting teachers and making class sizes bigger.
-
Ya, but the kid who got the two seed only placed like 4th at some tournament up north in December.
-
Von Wasson looked pretty good at 171, I've got to imagine he will place much, much higher at 160.
-
1. Mishawaka (23-0) 2. Crown Point (12-1) 3. Yorktown (27-1) 4. Perry Meridian (22-1) 5. Castle (15-3) 6. Ev. Reitz (17-1) 7. Ev. Mater Dei (17-1) 8. Merrillville (17-2) 9. Penn (17-3) 10. Portage (18-6) 11. Bloomington South (17-4) 12. Bellmont (19-5) 13. Franklin (20-6) 14. Roncalli (12-3) 15. Jeffersonville (22-6) 16. Cathedral (18-3) 17. New Palestine (22-5) 18. Carmel (7-4) 19. Lawrence North (10-5) 20. Center Grove (19-5)

Then the kid got a bad draw, just like 30-40% of the other kids in their sectionals who actually went out and wrestled good competition, took some losses, and got rewarded with a #2 seed instead of a #1, or the kid that should have got a #3 seed that got seeded 4th because he has three losses to the same State-Ranked guy, while the other guy got 4 forfeits throughout the year. Seedings are not supposed to determine who finishes where. There are set rules for how sectionals are seeded each and every year, because they are as fair as possible, and you just have to wrestle it out from there.
-
The coaches and/or tournament director would have to decide to follow the rules strictly. To be honest, I think the whole thing is not that big of a deal. If the other sectional coming into their regional had two Top-Ranked guys, it might, but why does it really matter if one of them gets 2nd or 3rd if their goals are to place in the Top 4 at state?
-
That would have to be something that Roncalli coaches weigh on their own. If the team race is close (which it should be, as New Pal and Roncalli actually tied at an individual tournament earlier this year I think), then I would highly doubt that they would take the chance of losing a possible 4 points for their team, just so that he can gain one spot in seeding down the road. Personally, the kid ought to think that he is the 2nd best kid in the state, so I am not sure why it matters if he gets his shot at #1 in the semifinals of sectional and regional, or in the finals. I would assume the ultimate goal is to make it to Saturday night under the lights, which he could still make without injury defaulting.
-
Yikes, if he lost to a kid from Garrett AND from Bluffton........... ???
-
I am a little bit uninformed on Batt so far this season. How much has he wrestled at 119 and how much at 125? Any big victories? It seems like he has a lot of losses, but maybe he was wrestling up.
-
Crap, I forgot about Atwood coming out of Merrillville. That would make the maximum 8, so I think I would still play the odds and go under 7.5.
-
I'll take a shot. I am sure I will change my mind on a few before Saturday. 103- Fiechter over Walburn 112-Roe over Moser 119-Gerber over Keuneke 125-Perry over Striker 130-Fiechter over Meska 135-Faurote over Schultz 140-Busse over Schwartz 145-Ehr over King 152-Mahlan over Jones 160-Hankenson over Fuller 171-Taylor over Stebing 189-Thatcher over Short 215-Bultemeier over Biberstine 285-Meyer over West OK, maybe I was a little biased, but what fun would it be otherwise....
-
I know... It's a new concept
-
If the over/under is 7.5, I am definitely taking the under. No way they get over 7, but I think seven is definitely possible.
-
I am waiting to see all of the sectional brackets before I make the final (or maybe 2nd to last) set of rankings.

Have you seen Gonzales wrestle?
