A couple of years ago I saw a video (Youtube or something) about David Taylor. He was working with a personal trainer and they were going through his workout routine and talking about what he was doing in preparation for the season and then what he did during the season. He was traveling something like an hour to work out with his trainer after practices. The trainer was trying to keep his strength at around 80% - 90% of where he came into the season at. It evidently worked for him.

We did not wrestle the teams with Gilbert, Gomez or Holwager. He lost a couple times the very first weekend of wrestling by slim margins. He'll be one of the tougher 4 seeds in the sectional and should do well.

He fractured his ankle and was out for several meets. His losses have been to quality kids including Meenach by 1 point at the SIWC.

I heard he was going to give 120 a try for a little while just to see if that helped keep his strength up. I think he may have been having a little making 113. It might end up being a little better for him with the 2 pound allowance. Time will tell.

Washington looked good as did Southport and Greencastle from what I saw of them. I don't know what the team scores were as the only team scores available on the board was the Scottsburg matches.

Is Beavans still at 106 or is he going to wrestle a higher weight as indicated by going 120 at Mooresville?

Schremp is ranked 8th in the Evansville Semi-State Rankings (this topic first page).

You have Josh Pierre at 126 and at 132...will he be getting a 45 minute match break in between wrestling weight classes ;D

He hurt is ankle pretty bad during Regional this past weekend. He could barely stand on it, so I am assuming he is trying to heal prior to this weekend.

I heard the SIWC will be turning into the Southern Indiana Tournament of Champions in the near future. Maybe next year??? I am not sure why or exactly who wanted the name change, but I don't think it matters. Some of the schools, such as Charlestown and Scottsburg, are in the Mid Southern Conference already.

Thanks!

What was the score of the Bevans vs Lock match at 103?

Why did Seng wrestle 103 in lieu of Vibbert? Did Vibbert lose a wrestle off?

What age group are you looking for? I have a 96lb son, but he is a freshman this year.

I agree about looking at the tape. The JC camera was setup on the same side as the infraction occurred and I don't believe the ref would have been in the way of the view. I was on that side and I could tell the cross face was rough, but I can't say for sure whether Howard bit the JC kid or not and I sure didn't see the injury. The way he was running the cross face I could certainly see how his arm may have been cut by something.

He was wrestling a JC kid and it looked like the kid was grinding a cross face, but the kid pulled his arm back and said Tanner bit him. The refs concurred and DQ'd Tanner. I can't see him doing that. I would like to see the video of that. I think Tanner was up 1-0 at the time.

I did not aim to imply (and it certainly wasn't intended as an excuse) playing multiple sports caused my son not to go to State. He had opportunities to train in between seasons, but everyone needs some time off. The two wrestlers on our team that went to state "got it" from an early age. They had natural mat sense and strength. They both benefited by wrestling tough competition during the Spring, which afforded them the opportunity to wrestle national competition with Team indiana. The increased mat time, their natural ability, and their training partners were key to their success. One of the two had less work ethic, but he had the most mat sense and natural strength. My son played Soccer (because we don't have football) and he played baseball. While Soccer certainly contributes to conditioning neither sport really helped with wrestling strength, but again he was happy doing what he did. My son did beat two kids, at team regional, who ended up placing at state, so to say he wasn't good or didn't do well because he played multiple sports is certainly far from the truth. Could he have done better with some more mat time and time in the weight room? Most likely. The key to building a program is to start young. You may lose some kids when they get into high school, but that is just part of it. This will take time and effort from parents, coaches and kids, but the rewards will be worth it. Certainly don't worry about a kid playing multiple sports (unless it is basketball!). I talked to a coach from a 2A school yesterday. Their team won the tournament we were at and they have consistently been a pretty good team year over year. Their school has football, so I asked him if football was key to their success. He said no that in fact the wrestling team helped the football team more than the other way around. He has a person on his staff that is also involved with football, so they are trying to turn it around. I also asked him about their youth program and he said they don't really have one. He said he lets the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders hang out with the Junior High team. He stated that he was willing to take kids to tournaments, but the kids had to ask for it. Somehow this works for him. He has a full team plus 10 or more reserves. He has been at the school for a long time and he does teach, so I would say that is a pretty big part of it.

My kids go to a 2A school. When my oldest, who is now a Sophomore in College, was 9 years old the high school the high school coach talked several parents and their kids into doing some travel wrestling. We had wrestled in a local program, which offered okay competition but not the same as traveling. There were eight families involved with one boy per family. All of these kids were in the same grade. One of the first tournaments that we went to was in Franklin. The competition was pretty good and our kids did fairly well. This continued through middle school until the kids were freshmen. Once they became freshmen my son ended up choosing to play baseball in the spring. Three of the kids chose to not do any other sport, but wrestling. Three chose to do basketball instead of wrestling. One of the kids only did wrestling, but chose not to travel. Their junior year was pretty successful. Two of the kids went to State and placed and the team overall was successful. Their Senior year was very good. The same two kids placed at State and some of the others made it to Semi-state. The team placed second as a team at sectional and ended up making it to the championship round of the Team regional. This was the first time in school history that a team from this school had made it out of sectional. We beat several class 4a schools that year and we placed just points behind Carmel at a tournament. This team was built around the coaches two sons, one of which was a grade ahead and one which was two grades behind. Our kids still participate in the youth wrestling program, but only a few are still travel wrestling. This includes all grades. My youngest son is a freshmen. The team now struggles to fill the weight classes. There are some good individuals, but the room isn't not filled with competitive young men like it was when my oldest was coming through. To have a very successful program it needs to start from the bottom up. You are going to lose some kids over the time period for one reason or another, but for the ones that are left your program will reap a huge benefit in quality. It is a time consuming, money hog of an effort, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything! My son won the school award for the most varsity letters in his class over a four year period. He had eleven of them. He wasn't one of the two that went to state, but he enjoyed all the sports he participated in. Guess what other sports the two kids participated in that went to state? You guessed it, none!
