She lost it (and went for the headlock) when she was hit for stalling during her strip tease!

With no disrespect to Reitz High School but in the 90's we could have walked out there with our freshman team and wo

You're a little late to this topic.   Did you have a dream about the 90's last night?  Congratulations, it must have been fun reliving this special time of your life!

Ford Center ticket lines:   any chance of opening up extra ticket lines this year and having a separate entrance line/door for people who already have their tickets?   

The stalling call (after time had expired) in the Mt. Vernon / Gibson Southern 220 match (to tie the match) was one of the most shocking calls of the day.  I think coach Alcorn may have broken the 40 yd. dash record from his corner to the scoring table?!   Luckily, MV ended up winning AGAIN in Overtime.

wow - he's lost 85 lbs. since September - from 293 to 208.   

I watched the video the C&P posted and most of those shots were too the top of the head and you are correct high school wrestling isn't the same as college and Olympics, it's higher level and younger guys are going to try and imitate that, just like Ben Askren winning the NCAA's and everyone wanted to scramble or john Smith wins the Olympics and everyone wants to low single, I promise you will see more of this type of wrestling from athletic quick kids because it is an excellent set up, you're Either just too hard headed about how wrestling should be or too unknowledgeable on how the sport is too see that

Wrestlefan1, 

Your first 2 posts on this board aren't going to win you many fans but I'm sure you're a good guy/gal?   My advice would be to state the facts or your opinions and not make it so personal.  JMO

Looks like Dixon handles Wargel pretty well...   MD 17-8

I'm sure this match will garner numerous comments later in the day when the fans get home.   Quite a few penalties and high energy from the wrestlers, fans, coaches, Castle tournament staff, etc.  The match seemed a lot closer than the final score and must have taken 20 minutes to complete.  

I still believe Andy Schneider (Mt. Vernon Posey) would have / could have played in the NFL even though he never played football in high school.  One of the most impressive "big man" natural athletes I've ever seen.

I think the crowd and fans get into it a little more when there's bulletin board material.   However, the "elite" wrestlers are already motivated and fired up for the high profile match-ups.  

Mt. Vernon takes it!

I found this post from 08 - it mentions both scenarios

The schedule section of today's sports page says - Castle @ Memorial.    I'm sure everyone planning to go already knows it's at Castle ................but the casual wrestling fan (if there is such a thing!) may show up at Memorial?

I don't really have a comment but I wanted to post before I left work to see if my Qualifier changed for 500 posts!  However, I did enjoy the give and take between IU89 and Merry Christmas.

Yep - STATE CHAMP!   I'm going to have an adult beverage to celebrate!

I haven't been to a wrestling match this year.   I may go tonight but my season will definitely start by SIAC.  So, I don't really know much about Reitz or MD.   However, I did hear that those Lee boys, Egli and some Johnson kid are pretty darn good!   I get all my intel from this site and twitter.  Since your book mentions the average score for the last 28 years has been 55-9...................that will be my prediction.    And no I don't know anything about Ferguson...............and if I did..........I wouldn't say.

I still play a little poker but I prefer to lose my $$ on the golf course!  

I would always cheer for MD to go to State in Football.......................anything to keep them out of the wrestling room as long as possible

Very impressed with their fan base and army of volunteers that continue to develop talent.   Year after Year MD's ability to keep reserves motivated when they know they could start for most any other school is incredible.

i agree.  i see md taking heavy losses in the first two rounds.  my prediction:

 

106-  gabe zirkelbach over nolan weidner

113-  chip elderkin over kyle luigs

120-  greg schaefer over will egli

126-  steve moore over alex johnson

132-  craig elpers over nick lee

138-  buzz mieras over joe lee

145- blake jourdan over nick dewig (3OT)

152- matt coughlin over mitch lehman

160- allen weinzapfel over nick buedel

170- blake maurer over ashton forzley

182- andy mcdonald over sam bassemier

195- dane maurer over chase anslinger

220- zach goebel over kurtis wilderman

HWT-  bill trainer over adrian butler

 

the only reason that jourdan wins is that dewig has an injured hand.  

 

just my two cents, of course.

Those boys need to start cutting weight immediately - most would need at least one appendage amputation!

Have the North Posey kid and Castle wrestled yet?  If so, what was the outcome?

Very cool!

Evansville does a decent job on results and rankings (sent in by schools) but lack the daily/weekly stories during the season.   I noticed this summer they had just a snippet on Lee and Konrath winning Fargo.    

I nominate John Johnson as a volunteer contributor to Evansville Courier for weekly features!

I apologize if this topic was featured recently but I'm too impatient  to look through old posts.  The "everybody loves a good list" topic got me thinking about this when I saw the Mater Dei all time greats.

How many Father / Son state champions have we had in Indiana history?  I noticed Chris Wildeman 1981 and Sam Wildeman 2003.

As a gentleman informed me at Eville SS. Bosse did have a state champ in the 70s

Sammy Lamb (State Champ from Bosse)

Unbelievable softball player as well.

wow - I didn't realize Carr was an 8th grader.
