  1. I'm literally laughing at this!
  2. Very happy for Kyle! I had the pleasure to be invited to work with Coach Andrews and the Lapel staff while in college. My best wishes to Kyle and the Lapel wrestling team as they continue to build on their program's success the last few years!
  3. Neek Stauffer from Elkhart Central won at HWT
  4. Carroll will be tough at 126. I have to give him the nudge over Crume. Both are great but I was very impressed with Carroll at state last year. Definitely looking forward to seeing this matchup!
  5. I?m a firm believer that wrestling helps make better football players as I?m sure most of you are as well. (Those who played both anyway) I?m interested in finding out how many football players wrestle. In particular, more successful programs, I took the latest football rankings and listed them below. If you could help by giving me a rough or actual number of football players who wrestle and any notable statistic I would appreciate it. I understand some of these schools may not have wrestling teams; I would appreciate the help narrowing down those teams.

  6. Going along with what you're saying we should just do away with 103-119 and 189-hwt. Clearly, the only kids Indiana can get to AA are between 125 -171.
  7. That's a bit different. You're comparing apples to oranges in my opinion. You agree to attend a college or university based on things that appeal to you as an individual. For example, you decide to go to school A because it has an academic program in education and you believe you'll do well there. Two years into your education the program is dropped based on a lack of interest from the student body. What are you supposed to do? Stay loyal and change your future career as an educator? Or do you transfer because the school isn't holding up to their end of the bargain? As I see it, Wisconsin is not holding up to their end of the bargain. Howe chose to go their based on what they could offer him, that?s changed. In my opinion, he has the right to look out for his best interests. While they may still be able to offer him a great education, that may not be as important to him or the reason he agreed to attend Wisconsin.
  8. Spires, Is Crume going 126? I heard last year he was heavy in the fall, around the 140 mark. Not sure how true it was but if that is the case I can only imagine he's back up there. Any idea? If he is going 126 he would have to be in the conversation for a repeat in the top 3. Where will Weinkauf go if Adams attempts 170? He looked like a large 171 last yr thought we'd see him and Adams both up a weight class.
  9. It seems to me that those who are upset with the new weights will be the teams made weaker by the move, those who are satisfied may be benefiting from the switch, just an observation. There were going to be people unhappy either way, if it stayed the same or changed. I'm for it...it makes my team tougher, for at least the next year. We'll see how my feelings change in 2 years.
  10. Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. John Wooden Being successful doesn?t mean you won 4 state titles and became an Olympic gold medalist. While most would see that as successful, what if that individual had the ability to never let a single person score on him and become a 2 time gold medalist but settled for just winning and not being the absolute best he or she could be. Each person is different and I would disagree with someone who said success comes from beating everyone. You can only do as well as your ability will allow. You can out work every person in the state but it won't necessarily mean you?re going to win a state title. You can only achieve what your max potential will allow. It?s like telling your wrestle to go and give 110% on the mat. He can't, the most that wrestler can give is 100%, that?s all they have. To me that?s successful. You shouldn't be measured on what you accomplish alone, but rather what you did with the ability you were given. In my opinion, preperation and effort are the keys to success, by preparing as much as you can and giving every ounce of effort inorder to ensure you perform your best will give you all you have and need to be successful.
  11. Jorts and tuxedo shirt are packed and ready to go!
  12. I will be wearing my finest jorts with my black tuxedo t-shirt Friday night in protest! If my wrestler wins I continue wearing the same, unwashed, attire to every meet next year. However, if he loses, I will wear khaki shorts with my tuxedo shirt!
  13. Did/Does the 3rd brother wrestle? Is he older or younger? That would be interesting to see a third brother have some of the same success.
  14. Perkey threw Escobedo and had him on his back for a good 30 seconds. I don't believe this was a fluke by any means. I would put Shane in the catergory of one of the best wrestlers to never win state.
  15. Stahl didn't live in Memorial district when he attended Memorial.
  16. Tanner Adams did not go undefeated today, he may have won it but lost to Carson Volhiem during the final round.
  17. Goshen looked less than impressive and extremely out of shape in the 3rd, Memorial looked tougher than expected and aggressive as usual.
  18. This makes me laugh...How many other teams, if any, have more than one varsity team they send out to compete with other varsity teams? This is impressive and sounds to me like Harper will be winning multiple team titles in the future (if the team tournament is still around). Sounds like its only a matter of time before he moves up to the college ranks.
  19. How would this affect the individual side? Would you propose 4 classes there as well?
  20. I would venture to say it's through hard work that they put in running camps, clubs, and practices throughout the year. I would say possibly out working you and your coaching staff. I WOULDN'T say every coach is unethical or cheating to win. Listen the recruiting button needs to stop being pushed. If coaches were getting the job done in their room then the wrestlers from that school wouldn't need to go other places to maximize their potential. I'm not saying that recruiting is okay but I am saying it is not always the coach who is pulling the kid in. These coaches you speak of that are trying to save team state are trying to help the GROWTH of wrestling. They could be seen as the spokesmen of our sport and they are known because of there success. I would say coach Snyder and Coach Tonte have there kids best interest at heart not their own. I think for you to come on this board and bash them by saying they only coach wrestling for their ego makes you sound a bit jealous and bitter of their success. Frankly, it makes me think maybe you should be working harder in the off-season to put your program together like Tonte did or like Snyder did when he took an already solid program and took the next step to prominence.
  21. Alright so having a team championship creates an ego issue? SO according to your post getting rid of team state and putting in solely on the wrestlers would correct this ego issue we have? Sounds a little backward to me. As an individual you get that it's all about me mentality and you only worry about yourself. With a team atmosphere you may still have SOME of this. However, I believe much of it depends on the attitude of the coach and how he brings his team along. If the head coach builds a team first approach within the team there will be less room for an ego to grow. I just thought it was an interesting approach you took stating that by taking away a TEAM portion of state and making it all about the INDIVIDUAL, you would help wrestlers with their ego issues. You still run into the individual egos here. Coaches still measure their success in part by how many kids they can get to state and how many they can get on a podium. Remember the team state as it currently stands only affects 20 teams at best. The ethical issue needs to be dealt with by the schools AD and administration. Getting rid of team state WILL NOT help this issue. To think otherwise is just silly.
  22. Who will be the Coach to take this idea, or another, and get the ball rolling?
