    For those interested in off-site weigh-in documents for USA Card holders, please contact tourney director, Cal Warner @ cwarner1@sbcglobal.net for info and forms. On-site weigh-in from 6-9pm on Saturday evening, March 7th only! No Sunday morning weigh-in! We will have the pairing pools done on Saturday evening so that wrestling will begin at 10:00am sharp on Sunday. Last year we had 254 wrestlers, each got 3 matches. All the pools were done wrestling and on their way home between 2-4pm. We will have a full concession stand, Jim's Wrestling Supply, and an organized format. Every wrestler will recieve a medal. BEGINNERS ONLY PLEASE! Two years or less of wrestling experience before this year. You are eligible if this is your third USA card. We will have USA cards available for sale on Saturday evening only. No off-site weigh-in without a valid USA Wrestling Card. Looking forward to another great day. formerwrestler

    Wes and Colin: Man I hate to hear that, for Colin. Great kid, great competitor, great wrestler. I could see the disappointment in his face on Saturday. I can't imagine what he is going through having this happen two years in a row. There is no doubt in my mind that he will recover from this injury and will be just as successful in life as he has been through wrestling. Best of luck to him at Ball State! Sure wish he were still wrestling this Saturday! Regards, formerwrestler and the Tipton wrestling community.

    I bet all the ice bags at New Castle will be watching out for Tony though. He obliterated that poor defenseless ice bag on Saturday. That was the funniest thing I saw all day. Gold man, pure gold. ;D formerwrstler

    I didn't think they were so much flexing. I think they were both just excited to win and let out a loud "Whoop" after winning. It's an emotional sport. Congrats to both. formerwrestler

    Congrats, Coach Atwood and Delphi wrestlers. Best of luck at team regionals and next week at SS! formerwrestler

    No decision yet on college. However he has applied to and been accepted at the following schools listed alphabetically: Ball State (no wrestling though) Manchester North Central Trine Univ. of Wisconsin-LaCrosse Wabash Still waiting to hear back from a couple of others. formerwrestler

    OK. This will be an interesting topic for discussion.... What kids still wrestling are related to wrestlers at other schools. Nathan Whitlow of Southmont 145lbs. is cousin to Colin Warner 215lbs. of Tipton. Nathan is also a cousin to 189lb. Southmont teammate, Nick Hodges. Warner and Hodges, however are not related. Any others? formerwrestler

    Garity did not wrestle. Heights bumped up some of the others. Since Zach's name was listed in the program at 189, the announcer assumed he was wrestling, and that is probably how it was reported. The coaches can make some changes to their lineup. Zach's parents said he is gonna try to go on Saturday if he can get full range of motion back. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for him. He just never has any luck around tourney time. formerwrestler

    Coach clev has part of the reasoning correct. Additionally, Our 189lbr, Dylan Ford is 32-7 and weighs @ 185-189lbs. Ford has been Warner's drill partner for the last three years and is also very solid. Warner and Ford both have wrestled 189/215 the last two years, but Warner has much more experience and performs a little better @ 215lbs. than Ford. Warner is also hoping to wrestle in college and sees himself as a 197lbr. Wrestling bigger, stronger guys will help with this transition. He wrestles each day with Ford and our heavyweight, so the weight issue is really not that big of a deal. We're looking forward to the regional this weekend, and watching all four Blue Devils compete. formerwrestler

    Warner is having a good year. 37-3 thus far. He and Ford were both wrestling 189/215 this year. Ford is 35-7. It's great having them both in the room along with Moats @ 171lbs. with a 39-1 record. These three are great practice partners. We're looking forward to Pendleton Heights this Saturday. formerwrestler

    Also found out last evening that Levi Rutledge will be unable to compete because of a knee injury suffered on Tuesday in practice. He had just returned to the wrestling room recently after suffering a back strain in late December. The back appeared to be OK, but he tore a ligament in his knee on Tuesday evening and could not get in to see the Dr. until Thursday afternoon. What a shame for him. Great kid, great wreslter, great competitor. Placed 7th at Conseco last year. formerwrestler

    His Florida record really does not help in critera a.) Head to Head, b.) common opponents, and c.) He was not a returning champ at 130lbs. last year. The tournament officials were trying to follow the rules, and be fair to all the wrestlers. Unfortunately, this was a unique case. Let's let the kids decide it on the mat. Top 4 will advance. I would think that the top 4 will rise to the top in this bracket. Should be a fun bracket to watch on Saturday. formerwrestler

    I don't believe that is right. We wrestled them last week, and the coach said he had a letter from Bobby Cox stating that Lovitt was allowed to wrestle in Indiana. Apparently, his weigh-ins from Florida counted. The coach seemed pretty confident that they had all the ducks in a row to allow him to compete. I believe he was 11-2 in Florida with his only losses to two state ranked kids. Old71... Do you have new information that things have changed since last week? formerwrestler
  15. formerwrestler
    Not knowing the rules for seeding a sectional are equally boneheaded. The Lovitt situation is very unique. The tournament directors and all the coaches discussed this issue deeply. It was determined that the best course of action was to follow the below rule. d. A contestant with the best overall record (winning percentage) who has wrestled at least 10 matches; NOTE: A wrestler with less than ten matches may not be seeded ahead of a wrestler with at least ten matches and a winning record unless he/she meets criteria in a, b or c. A wrestler with a losing record may not be seeded unless he/she meets criteria a, b or c unless there are less than six (6) wrestlers in the bracket. Lovitt had a 4-0 record in Indiana at the seeding meeting and had not a) wrestled any of the higher seeds, had no common opponents and c) was not a returning champ or runner-up in the same weight class. Tough situation for all involved. formerwrestler

    I would assume you would want to enter the lowest qualifying weight class for all your wrestlers. They may move up one class, but they can't move down. It appears that this document is really being used to track birthdates to be sure all potential wrestlers are not 20 years old or older as of Feb. 20, 2009. formerwrestler
  17. formerwrestler
    Sent an e-mail to Bobby Cox to avoid any confusion: Here is his response: "...a wrestler may wrestle in the weight class they are entered or if you wish at the seed meeting, move them up one class. They may never wrestle below their entered weight class and they may never wrestle more than two weight classes above their entered class." Thought others might like to see this clarification too. formerwrestler
  18. formerwrestler
    Littlejohn: Thanks for the response. The only problem is that the IHSAA site where the istructions are can only be accessed by the member school AD's. Since I am not a teacher coach, I do not have access to those instructions, and thought someone may have them. If anyone does, please shoot me a PM. Thanks, formerwrestler
  19. formerwrestler
    Does anyone have access to the "rules" regarding this form? The Excel spreadsheet lists a "weight class entered" column. Are we allowed to change weight classes at the sectional seeding meeting? I want to be sure I enter my wrestlers correctly. Any info would be helpful. thanks, formerwrestler

    BABAMF: Warner and Ford have been wrestling both 189 & 215 all since last year. Warner only weighed in at 189lbs. at the State tourney in the 215lbs. class. Ford is within 2lbs. of his weight too. They both can wrestle either weight. Should be some interesting match ups this weekend. formerwrestler
  21. formerwrestler
    BABAMF: You've got mail! formerwrestler
  22. formerwrestler
    Yes. Atwood beat Moats in 2007, Moats beat Atwood in 2008. They are both very solid wrestlers. formerwrestler

    But the Seeding committee will gather the info and should still have some seeding info out tomorrow. I'm looking foreward to watching several weight classes. Should be some great high school wrestling on Saturday. Best of luck to all. formerwrestler
