Totally agree with you Joker. OW should have gone to the 215 from Illinois - that was a great match. Napules (over OBoyle) would be my 2nd choice.

typo on the link .... http://boilerelite.com

Figures you'd be into that ....

Major concern ? The 160 opponent from Illinois is 16-9 ... surely Sean's coaches are slightly over 160 (and a little tougher than a 16-9 HS kid) and Sean wrestles them in practice ?

Expensive weekend compared with attendance
groundhog replied to duck_and_run's topic in Past Discussions
Right on. Valpo, EC, Hammond Civic Center, Gary West Side, Michigan City, Layfayette Jeff ... any of these venues would be a HUGE improvement. As you mentioned, you can only see 2 of the 4 mats from either of the upper bleachers in the Merrillville Gym. There were ZERO seats open for Rnd1 & 2. I stood in the corner in the upper balcony next to a gentlemen in his mid 70's for the first 2 rnds. Some Merr. worker actually came over and told us we had to take a seat ... I replied we'd love to ... pls help us find one !! Then he threatened he was going to have us thrown out ! I believe the bottom line here ... is the almighty dollar. Even though the fans and sport would seriously win by moving this event to one of the venues mentioned above, Merrillville isnt about to let those dirty dollars slip out of their hands ! If I'm wrong, pls enlighten me why this event wouldn't be moved to a larger facility. -
Listened to a few matches ... it was nice to hear the wrestling coverage etc ... Dolph, I know you don't have much experience ... but you have remember when you're on the air, the listeners have no idea whats going on .... so one of the announcers needs to do some play by play !! Doesn't work as well when both guys try to just be the color guys, adding in comments here and there ...... The post interviews by JED with the wrestlers afterwards were very nice .... Overall ...very nice job guys !! Thanks to Krazy Kaplan Fireworks for sponsoring I believe ?

Thurman Stone (Calumet) over Dustin Davis (Martinsville) .... Davis had finished runner-up the prior year losing in OT to John Leavell in the finals.

Also, what time are the finals ?

Chesterton's Quiroz welcomes a challenge
groundhog replied to Justdo^it135's topic in Past Discussions
Quiroz won the Al Smith at 160 Nice article ! Glad to see the newspapers giving wrestlers the exposure they deserve. Love the rivalries ! What time are the DAC finals Saturday ? Quiroz is an excellent counter wrestler. I've seen him wrestle about 5-6 times and even though he doesn't initiate much offense, he's great at stuffing his opponents and scoring off their offense. As far as beating McMurray, I don't see it happening. If Quiroz falls behind in the score he'll have a tough time scoring points if his opponent isn't coming after him. -
LOL, yeah sure pinner, they were fine with their academic school systems for 9 years (K-8) but then in 9th grade (time for HS wrasslin) they became bad. Pack up da family were movin !
-
Clive .... hint: you get 6 for a pin Roach pinned, if CP doesnt have movin studs Halsted and Tsirtsis it's bonus pts for M'Ville . I guess Clive needs a calculator !
-
Well, let's just say with the well timed "movin-ins" (Halsted, Roach, Tsirtsis), CP gained a nice team. No greatness on Vlink's part. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Without those studs, CP doesnt even get past Merrillville at Team Regionals last year. A great coach like Maldonado builds em from the ground up.
-
LOL, I'm pretty sure Vlink will be blowin a gasket tonight either way !

RANKINGS UPDATED! Let's Generate Some Discussion
groundhog replied to RankingsGuy's topic in Past Discussions
"weak" ... meaning there's no dominant 171er out there as in the past (e.g. Josh Hardy, Schontube, Maurer etc.) -
At 160# the question is who will be 2nd,3rd..... Let's not get ahead of ourselves .... stranger things have happened ....
-
i didn't say they didn't beat her I just said she could hold her own. They do beat her, and I know these boys and have for most of there lives and they will not just roll over and let her win. they give it there all. and they are not fish. they are good wrestlers. She wrestles with the bigger guys in pracrice then when she gets on the mat guys her own size aren't as much of an issue. No offense intended, but I think you a little removed from reality..... but hey, best wishes for you this season !
-
As long as the girls and her parents know the risk, I see no point in changing anything that they are doing. I know my daughters coach does not change anything. He wants her to be ready to wrestle the best, so she wrestles the best that we have in practice. She is around 115 and most days in practice she is going against our bigger guys most are around 165 and up. and she holds her own with them. Hmmmm, 115lb girl wrestling 165lb boys (and up) .... got a feeling the boys are taking it easy on her ?
-
Are you suggesting there's something wrong with being a teacher ? Sean, what major are you planning to study at MSU ?
-
Well Mike ... champions are made in the practice room. You'll just have to pick bigger/better partners there and find the best competition from Illinois. Also hit the open tourneys (kids open, midwest classic, celtic elite etc).
