    It's Delaney, not Dulaney.

    Maybe I am not reading what you are trying to say, but my point would be that you are still more likely to have a 103lb first year freshman wrestler make it to state than a 260lb first year freshman wrestler. I have seen 103# freshmen who are first year wrestlers make it to SS, so making it to state in the same case, isn't an impossibility, with the right draw, and in the right year. I wasn't at State this year, and haven't had a chance to watch the championship matches, yet, but if the wrestler you are using as an example is Harvey, I saw a lot of comments on how agile he was for a big guy, and I would say that agility is a valuable wrestling skill/attribute to have, in my opinion.

    You are making a bad comparison, here. If you compare that 100lb freshman, to a 250lb freshman who never wrestled a day in his life being a state qualifier, then you have a good argument. However, I don't recall any freshman hwts. that never wrestled before qualifying for state.

    Were they having audio difficulties on mat 4, or are these guys falling asleep?

    This is correct. The zip code is merely so they can track where their viewers are from.

    My personal understanding of this issue can be explained by something that my old coach, AJ Kalver, once said, when trying to recruit kids to wrestle. AJ explained to these young men that "wrestling is a fight with rules". Looking at our sport from that perspective, it makes perfect sense to me why a young man would say that his religious convictions would not allow him to be in a physical altercation with a female.

    They could make it more fan friendly by not having the intermission where they kick everyone out of the stadium!

    I think you might have been confused on Galka because he was to wrestle 112 as a Sophomore and took a growth spurt once the season started that made him unable to do so. He ended up wrestling 119 for the State series after a team mate at that weight was injured, if I recall correctly.

    Changes?

    One problem with the college out of bounds rule being used in HS is that it would require larger mats than are often used now. Many mats have too small of area beyond the lines. I would oppose adding riding time, because I think it would encourage top man stalling. But I also oppose giving the top man 10 seconds to turn, and then putting them on their feet. I would prefer that we just have officials enforce stalling much better than they tend to, whether the stalling wrestler is top, bottom, or neutral.

    I'm part of the unpopular crowd on this issue. I have no problem with girls being involved in wrestling---I actually woul dbe happy to support it. I just think that they should only wrestle other girls.

    With all of the wrestling pick 'em games going on, I thought I would throw something else out. The over/under on non-SS Champs winning a State Championship this year is set at 2. The over/under on non-SS Champs in the Championship match is set at 5. Predictions?

    I completely disagree! A runner-up finish at an upperclassmen dominated weight is more impressive that a championship at a traditionally dominated freshmen weight.

    I think you are down by around 200 Boos, to Andre Richards' dad.

    I agree with Paul. When two wrestlers are of similar levels, the one who is a little better can break the other wrestler, not the other way around. I've seen it happen quite a few times.

    He was asking if the top 3 from the same sectional have finished as the top 3 in the state.
  17. hammer
    Top 3 has happened from the same conference, but not sure about same sectional.

    This deserves a "wahoo".

    I just watched the video. That was a terrible call! Siddons never lost the leg, so he never lost control.

    I believe he died in auto accident the summer before his senior year. He was incredible to watch his junior year at state.

    28 placers would be average. 25 placers isn't really very impressive.
  22. hammer
    I've seen this called quite a few times through the years. In my opinion, it's done by weak, indecisive officials. It's 2 or it's 0.
  23. hammer
    I will start this out with Carter Delaney(Bishop Dwenger) by fall over previously unbeaten Josh Ehr(South Adams) at FWSS.
  24. hammer
    I share those sentiments, and have also given you a wahoo!

    Exactly! Someone posted numbers on Wisconsin, which is a comparable state to Indiana. That is what the IHSAA needs to see!
