As we approach what has to be one of the toughest days in all of sports in Indiana, let' aal ttke aa moment to recognize the efforts of the Coaches, Assistants, parents, and most of all the competitors who allow us the opportunity to witness their journeys.   Ladies and Gentleman, It is Wrestling Semi State Time! 

Glad your son chose the right sport. You were correct about wrestlers being an odd bunch. Their is always an exception to the rule, but for the most part they are odd and usually the better they are, the weirder they are. As for us parents, we are all mad here, some just hide it better than others. Welcome to the weird, wild and wonderful world of wrestling.

Brett Smith wasn't too old. He moved from California and due to illness starred his sophomore year and then was out of school the rest of the year. He came back and had to repeat his sophomore year, but his clock of eligibility had already starred. You have only 4 years once you start high school. The IHSAA only granted him the 1st part of his senior year, so was not eligible after Christmas, although age wise he is still 19.

Have to agree with Y2. I know a good math tutor that would be happy to help with that calculation. I think if all plays in the notrhs favor at best 6 but in reality I see 2 solid golds and 4 that could pull off a gold heist at the bank. If I was a betting person I would go with 3 because even the solid golds aren't always as solid as you might think.  Anything can happen and as you know there have been a lot of robberies in the vault at the bank.

I don't think the increase necessarily has to be a product of just one cause.  Not only has the uniform started to change, and no matter how much i hate the 2 piece im sure their are a lot more kids willing to wear it, but we have also seen a huge increase of the number of girls that are joining the teams since the girls state was introduced.  Then we had at least 2 or 3 schools that added wrestling to their school this year. I'm sure all of these have played factors in the increase. Now with that being said, I've seen a lot more ff this year than ever before. I don't think dividing the compitition into large and small schools will help anything. If a kid wants to be good, he will find a way. I think there is a validity to some of the better kids at small schools transferring to larger schools. It just makes since that the smaller the student count, the smaller the numbers in the room, which means it will be less likely that there would be another kid at their skill level around their size to push them during practice. So, the better kid transfers to have partners in his room. I think we can lower the chances of the kid transferring,  if the IHSAA would do away with some of the rules about where and with whom a kid can train during the season. We are one of the few states that have these strict rules. If they can train with other schools kids, which most likely will be the same kids they train with in the off season, then not only will we see a continued increase in talent through out the season, but it will lessen the need for higher caliber kids to feel they have to go to a larger school. Yes it is a wrestling TEAM but like it or not its still an individual sport. " whend you're out their wrestling with someone stronger and faster than you,  there's not a whole heck of a lot a team can do for you". Sorry, couldn't help myself

I would venture to guess that your V2 team has more kids than many of the V1 teams they face. So by inviting Carrol's V2 schools would be getting more matches for their kids, and in turn fewer FFs. 
I also understand the stigma associated with a V2 loss and wasnt trying to say it was completely without merit. More a matter of how much merit. At some level arent we placating a loser mentality? I dont say that to be cruel, it just doesn't seem like the kid was all that into wrestling if he quits because he got beat by Perry or Portages V2. The reason the V2 beats the V1 is because he's put more time and effort into it (athletic freaks aside). So taking away opportunities from V2 kids seems all stick and no carrot to me.

Just let the kids wrestle.  We have had 15 matches so far this year and 6 were ff and most of those teams had kids at that weight.   You don't ever dodge a match. Heck you can be 0-40 going into sectionals and earn your #1 ssed for regionals and so on. You should always want to wrestle the good kids. A good example is, Tommy's freshman year he was undefeated going into the finals match at semi state. He ended up losing to Nathan Boston 1-0. He came off the mat with a big grin. His coach says," Tommy, why are you so happy, you do know that you just lost, right?"  Tommy responds with, " yep and that was fun!"  Let the kids go out there and have fun. It's ok to lose. These kids are learning a lot more than wrestling from this sport. Personally I would rather my kids learn that anything can happen if you just go out there and try instead of your not good enought so why bother going out there.

I hate the 4 pt near fall rule.  Giving them 1 more point for 1 less count. That is big difference to make up.  I know it is just one pt more, but when you think of the scenario of what you would have to do to make up the points, it makes it a lot less doable. I can't stand the college stalling call. Sometimes going out of bounds just happens, but the refs feel forced to call one of the wrestlers for stalling because " its the rule".  I do however think the college out of bounds rule would be a great addition to high school wrestling.  I also would love to see the riding time added.  Just my thoughts, since you asked.

I guess I should have said who I was when posting thas, I just figured people knew sorry. This isn't someone coming on trying to talk bad about a kid this is Mama cash. Justice doesn't want to just be Tommy's little brother he wants to make his own name. With a little hard work, hopefully one day he will.

You have 2 Avon kids ranked at 113# What I think is funny is that Cash has been on, one ranking or another, at 106, 113 and now 126, it's funny because he is wrestling 120. Thanks for the acknowledgement, but he was born with the name, he needs to earn the ranking.

Well it took a team made up of 8 different states to beat them but IN HR Black suffered their first and only loss of the tournament. They went on to win their next 2 duals, beating the team that put them out last year, in the match for 5th place. Started the tournament with 168 teams and an 8th seed and finished 5th. The team was complimented all weekend on their talent and the fact that they were an all Indiana team. Great Job Guys!
