Coaches, we wanted to get out to you some changes that will be implemented for the 20-21 Girl`s season. When we started this 4 years ago, our goal was to grow this opportunity for the Girls. We have reached a level where we need to make a few `tweaks`. Originally, Mr. Faulkens gave us 2 extra lower weight classes. The new weights for this coming season will be: 98,106,113,120,126,132,138,145,152,160,170,182,195,250. If there are any changes that would happen between now and the start of season, these could be subject to change.A school will only be allowed 2 wrestlers in a weight class, with one being the scoring wrestler.We are looking to have 8 invitationals through out the State this year. If you would like to host an invitational, please let me know right away so we can get a schedule made up. We would like them to be North, South and Central. These invitationals will be part of our seeding for Regionals. Therefore, it is important that we get as many as we can.The Regional date is 1-8-21; Maconaquah North; Franklin Community South. The State is 1-15-21; location TBD.We are planning on having weigh ins for State begin at 3:00 PM EST. Wrestling to start at 4:00 PM EST.

But if this were actually classed from the beginning of the tournament, I believe the champion for the smaller schools would be different. Would be closer to those teams that fair really well at the team state duals, as teams would probably be moving more qualifiers to state facing 1A and 2A schools.

A lot of good ideas here. Definitely something that the different officiating associations and maybe coach's association should bring to the IHSAA. They are able to have all the events that officials so in their myihsaa profile, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out a way to and things to schools that have only officials they would have seen.

So I just looked over my school ratings. I had 28 schools give a rating. Out of those 28 schools, there were only 9 schools that I actually had any involvement with officiating either varsity or JV this season. If you don't know the official, then you shouldn't be giving them a rating.

We threw out t-shirts for a couple seasons after every pin we got during a home dual.

When a smaller school isn't able to grab kids from other schools.

What upsets or surprise losses so far?

Back then, the Valpo Duals was 10 matches in two days. I know Griffith use to go to that. Not sure if it was that season. Plus add on other super duals and invitationals, matches sort of racked up.

Are you saying a #1 semi state ranked wrestler won't make it? So in that case, you rigged the rankings to better help yourself with the pick'ems contests. Looks like we have an Astro here! @Caleb Spires is not allowed into the IndianaMat Hall of Fame until Pete Rose is allowed in the MLB Hall of Fame.

I'm just trying to find the bible verse saying, "thou shall not wrestle females". Must have missed that one.

They are still being compiled. Going through every single sectional, team, and wrestler takes quite a bit of time. On top of trying to do it while having jobs.

This past Saturday I took our two girls from Bellmont to Bellfontaine, OH for an all girls tournament. 140+ girls, 4 mats, and great competition. It was their first time hosting this tournament and their plan is to grow this into one of the best girls wrestling tournaments out there. Ohio already has the "Iron Man", they are looking to turn this tournament into the "Iron Maiden". Next year the tournament will be on January 30th, and they are looking to run 5 mats. Even though it is after our girls state, I highly suggest looking into attending this tournament for your girls next season.

Doubt there will be a C considering only two sectionals feed into a regional.

Bellmont advanced 14!
