  1. This was one of those nights that made me miss my old Pendleton wrestling family like crazy. Mason, you did such a fantastic job of wrestling today... heck... all year long. And, watching your interview on ihsaatv.org, afterwards, I got a bit choked up. I was so proud of you, remembering to thank everyone who helped you along the way, and remembering our friend, Zach Wise... who I am sure was one of the biggest motivators for you this season. This has been a tough year for the Pendleton wrestling family, and you gave them all a reason to celebrate tonight! Congratulations to a young man who did it all with class!!
  2. My feed was awesome, too... all the way down here in Central Texas! I loved watching every minute of it, from the faceoff, to the national anthem, to the final seconds of 285. What an awesome night of wrestling!! Thanks IHSAA for making it "almost as good as being there"!
  3. If you use Firefox, you can see ALL of the mats... it takes you to RealPlayer. Video quality isn't the best... but it's better than nothing!
  4. We moved to Texas. Happy to be here... but wrestling is just not the same down here. My son made it to State for Texas... but they don't wrestle until next weekend... and it's NOTHING like the way they do it up in Indiana! I miss Conseco... and the Parade of Champions... and watching the finals under the spotlight... and the crazy crazy wrestling fans screaming their lungs out!!
  5. ;D Crack me up! I miss this message board. The boys over at insidetexaswrestling.com don't have a sense of humor!!
  6. This information was posted in an earlier message, but here's the official link for Zach's arrangements: http://www.loosefuneralhomes.com/_mgxroot/page_10780.php?id=821789
  7. My grief for his family runs so deep. I cannot imagine this kind of loss. Zach always had a smile on his face, always ready to put his arm around your shoulders to cheer you up. He was so caring and sincere. And... at some time or other... he'd probably have you down on the mat in a pinning combination! I sure loved this guy. Pendleton and the entire wrestling community will miss him greatly. I'll try to post official information regarding arrangements as they become available.
  8. Tournament ran fairly smoothly once we got started. Because of the snow, we had quite a few late arrivals for our satellite check in clubs. But... considering the late arrivals, and the fact that we had several wrestlers who couldn't make it to weigh ins (due to the snow) and showed up Saturday morning wanting to squeeze into brackets that had already been posted.... I think starting only an hour late wasn't too bad. The numbers were a little down. I think it had A LOT to do with the crazy snow we had during weigh-ins on Friday night. Since we've started doing matside pairing... it makes the tournament run a lot faster. We had just shy of 300 kids, and were done by 2:30
  9. Registration and weigh-ins for tomorrow's tournament will be held TONIGHT Location: Pendleton Heights Middle School 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Wrestling will start tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. Full information can be found at www.arabianwrestling.org

  12. We sure would like to see some more Cadets and Juniors making it up to the Arabian Folkstyle Open this SATURDAY. We had a decent turnout for high schoolers last year... but we'd love to see some more!! Fax weigh ins are due tomorrow. On site weigh ins are Friday only. See tournament info in the Tournament thread - or at our website www.arabianwrestling.org. OH>>> and it's at the new Middle School this year! We'll have adjoining gyms, one for the big guys, one for the little guys. And, it's MATSIDE pairing, so the tournament goes faster! So who all is gonna be there?
  13. We will be doing matside pairing at the tournament again this year. We noticed this definitely kept the tourney moving last year. For more information regarding the tournament, see the TOURNAMENT forum. Fax weigh ins will be accepted from TEAMS... and are available for download at www.arabianwrestling.org
  14. It's hard to say. You just never know how the "smack" and the comment could have been perceived by others in the room, including the middle school "victim". Could it have possibly been perceived as bullying?? Had the middle schooler had problems being harrassed by these high school wrestlers before? Had these high school wrestlers harrassed others before? Sometimes, you just never know the full story when you aren't there. More and more schools are cracking down on anything they perceive as bullying... so this could be one of those instances. I have no idea.... just playin' the devil's advocate.
