This is the way I see the match had Penn had it's starters 

No
What Facts????? That Penn Is equal to the #8 team in the state with 7 JV kids . Because thats a fact . 

Merrillville wrestled well against Penn. They are a solid team. Well coached and demonstrate good sportsmanship. However, Penn was in fact without 7 of its starters:
 
106 Cavanaugh
113 Hildebrandt
132 Selis
138 Beam
182 Osborn
195 Treber (Kyle)
285 Christman
 
I am looking forward to the Al Smith. If Penn is healthy, things should get interesting there and on January 3rd...

It's not about anyone "needing" anything. It's out growing our sport and getting more fans at meets. If nothing else that was accomplished Thursday night. Good call on announcing Avon guys. I will make a note and try to make sure this is communicated to the DJ in the future. I always try to learn and get better. I have always tried to utilize constructive criticism. We enjoy the actual rivalry with Avon too. It will make both programs continue to get better. Thanks. Darrick

Great job guys!

Martinsville Scroggs over McCubbins Monrovia by fall 1:57

Bam and covaciu was a real good match some good flurries on the line covaciu with a reversal in the third was the difference. Merrillvilles top guys all looked good streck and Johnson got big falls delapena got a dec. there were some tight matches in the middle 52 60 95 and 220. Hedrick and perry was a good match also.
Portage is a tough team top to bottom every kid shows up to scrap the portage staff has done a great job. 138 was a great match were Mcintosh came from behind early and got a fall. Portage belongs at team state and I wouldn't be surprised if they are the champs at the Traicoff Saturday
It was a pretty full house in the field house not semi state packed but a good crowd

I hear the official "chair"-man of the iHSAA makes an appearance

Avon @ Brownsburg this Thursday

Darrick and Nick and the rest of the coaching staff are great additions to the program and we are all very happy to have them.  They make it no secret they want to take the program to the next level and build a "Champion Factory" in Brownsburg. 
 
Darrick is very supportive of all the programs and academies (Contenders, Red Cobra, CIA) that are available to the kids at the High School, Middle School & Youth levels to supplement and help make these kids the young men and the wrestlers they are.  He and his coaching staff are certainly the benefactors to the hard work and dedication the kids in Brownsburg are putting out there day in and day out to try to build a championship program. 
 
Darrick, Nick and the rest of the coaching staff we say Thank You for bringing the #PAINTRAIN to Brownsburg and we are all excited to see where this goes !!!

I thought the tourny went well. Portage looked really solid top to bottom I know penn had a couple guys out. I think portage has a good shot to win the Traicoff they don't have a lot of holes they only had 1 guy place out side of the top 5. I was happy to see their 195 was ok after hitting his head on the hard wood floor

Oh ok so you made a bold statement about your team and now your excuse is that you didn't know who was even participating? So do you typically make predictions and demeaning statements without knowing anything? Well lesson learned I guess. Might I recommend a fine red wine to wash down that crow? Sportsfan 1 m109 0.

Zionsville's Heavyweight Hobick lost to Michael Smith from Lebanon 6-2

Your the man OTR, keep up the good work
