Indianamat crew does a great job with the preview magazine.  Make sure to order one. 

You heard it first! I'm pretty close to one of the guys on the team and he told me today Jake is transferring next semester. That is another big pick-up for Escobedo and his staff.

Nice job!! New castle semi state is looking pretty nasty

Well.....wonder no more!

He gave up 3 pts the entire greco tourney, all to one opponent. Davison dominated like few do in juniors

Junior Greco National Champion Lucas Davison!   Showed a nice variety of techniques in his last match including a lift to a 4 point throw. 
Lucas now stands amoung the rare group of wrestlers who have been able a accomplish both a Freestlye and Greco Junior National Title in the same year at Fargo.   

It was an injury default. Amine got hurt about halfway into the first period.

I might be way off but one thing I think we could improve on as a state is mat strategy. Knowing when to give up the step out. when to just lock up a hold and try to get an exposure. Small Small things but things I notice from Ohio and IL. Slowly but surely we are clawing up there. I thnk our Par Terre overall has improved over the last few years and thats a big deal. 

Vega won a JR Freestyle and Greco title in 1997

Win lose or draw indiana wrestling comes to brawl! It's just awesome all these kids are getting quality competition and competing respectively..idc if you don't win a match,  at least you are taking the steps to get better by competing at the highest level and everybody hasto respect that.. Cuz in the end wrestling is 1 big family and only our community knows what it takes to be a wrestler and the common love we all share and that's growing the sport of wrestling! 

Thank you Matt!

Pretty sure I predicted it earlier today!!! 
Congrats to the bluemonster and family!! 

Lowery and Garcia both drop to consos as B Lee steam rolls his way to the 16. 

Big win by Hall! Kid is on fire another in conso finals! 

Brock Ellis is our first all-American!!! 
Win in a great match in quarters. Go watch that one. 

Junior brackets are out
152- Artalona a three time Fargo champ drops to 145...afraid of Brayton? Also in the bracket is Alex Lloyd who was at the Dream Team
285- Parris will see Cassioppi in the semi-finals, could have been interesting since he had no seeding "criteria" and could have hit one of the top guys really early.
 

Artalona looking for the safest possible path to a impressive 5th Fargo title run.  

Warren giving me a heart attack for real!!! Down 4 with 2 seconds left... takes a dude feet to back for the big win in round of 16! Go back and watch that one boys and girls!!! 

Bryar (gonna give me a heart attack) Hall wins by fall in the conso round of 16. Love watching that kid!!! 

Y2,  you're right about Jordan being a lightning rod.   Like or love  his politics but he's gone extreme in his slash and burn brand with very little compromise, and he's the assigned the role attack dog going after his political opponents for any perceived irregularity.   His trademark is no mercy and in his political investigations.   Ironically his multiple  accusations are based on govt employees not being responsible on their watch,  and accusing govt employees for not monitoring the people around them and his best attack is claiming employees are immoral for being silent.   And in his investigations, he recommends these employees to be prosecuted and terminated.      Yes he put a target on himself,  but now the shoe is on the other foot and he's the one being accused.     He also backed himself in the corner, originally totally denying the claim.   When Disabato comes at him,  he can pawn it off as Disabato  wanting some class action compensation,  but when 6 other wrestlers step up and the head coach Hellickson  admitting there was an issue that's a whole other ball game.   When that many people step up, the character attack strategy doesn't work so well.   Also,   he then changes story using the old "Donald Trump Locker Room talk strategy".  Yes, the ironic thing was his locker was next to Strauss's, and he really didn't know what was going on.   He really looses his  credibility when he starts blaming the timing of he accusations based his Rosenstein attacks last week.   Yes,  the investigation has been going on since April at OSU and involves all the men's sports teams and at OSU and the investigation is not just about him. And trying to link the law firm to Hillary is even a joke.
  Y2,  on your point about wrestlers not fitting into the  mold of being weak (mentally or physically),   it does seem odd to go after wrestlers.   But Dr Strauss was accused of sexual deviance with members of all the sports at OSU including 15 athletes making claims.    The investigation didn't start in wrestling.  I would say all scholar athletes at the OSU D1 level would be mentally and physically tough, not weak.   Albeit Football, tennis, baseball, swimming, gymnastics, basketball, track, etc all these guys are strong and mentally focused on their discipline. The Dr probably had a method on how far he could go with molesting student athletes.
