Avon looking good this weekend, 3 Champs (2from same family,nice job Angel and Pat) 4 seconds, a third a fourth, 3 eights. Think I got em all. DLane did I miss any Contenders from Avon?

Lotta friendships made on trips like those.

This senior class were not even kindergartners when ARon Bright and Sam Ruff started club in 2000. I met Kevin Helm in the wrestling room that next year, Quinn and Brenden already knew each other from preschool. From there with Kevin doing the coaching and me taking on the parents, we took over the smallest kids in the club and made a concentrated effort to get every kid in their grade that we could to come out for wrestling. With in 5 years we had almost 150 kids signed up Coach Williams had taken over HS program at that point and Kevin joined HS staff as well as coaching little guys. We really took off after that runner up season for the HS we built on that team concept as well as Lynn's state championship. Had some dads who were willing to give their time (Rassbach, Luce, Kaiser, KAlishand now Brewer, McLain and countless others) was not over night success and the elite clubs helped us take our club to another level, when Ryan started Contenders a lot of our really good kids went to him because he was training year around and catered to the advanced kids where we were still showing basics. My goal in the early days was to make sure the kids didn't bring home the basketball sign up sheets from school cause wrestling was more fun. When Blevins came on broad the club was doing well and he jumped right in and has made sure that we continue to move forward. The last five years have been very rewarding from my stand point of being involved when my son was sometimes the only Avon kid at a tournment to now when we generally have 20-30 kids wrestling every weekend. Can't be done with out the moms and dads who are willing to give their time and efforts. The future is very bright and with the continued efforts of Coach and his staff and the parents who have stepped up and the ones who will down the road Avon should be claiming a team and some individual titles in the years to come.

Go to the news link, the original post on the criteria for award is there from that it would be cash for domination and off season he went all over in spring and summer. He got my vote

Congrats to Brad and the Penn Kingsmen. Having the opportunity to get know Brad a little the last few years it's easy to see why the success is coming in waves. He is always working to keep his program moving forward, the amount of kids on top of the quality is amazing, he had 5 teams at Disney a few years ago!! Any coach that has taken one team knows what a feat that was. Always looking to help wrestlers not just Penn's kids. Congrats again well deserved.

Yes we do they almost all weigh under a 100lbs

Contenders Hudkins champ Mills runner up Red Cobra Red champ. Humphrey Cash. Forte was a CIA die hard driving down from Mishawaka to train with Ed.

Really loud at BD Avon dual, and yes think he almost got kicked out at Mooresville, him myself and Scheafer's (SPut)sister all competed for loudest that day.

My heart dropped as I read this don't know you guys at all but thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours. Your faith, family and friends will be your rocks.

It has been fun for us it's over. good luck to both Tony and Jack this weekend

Was wondering the same. Shame to see a kid like Jake go down like that. Good luck to Him in all he does.

6Stansberry 5Todrank both only losses to top 3 guys

We have two full mats at Avon

Think it was most champs.

Great job Triple! The BD kid. At 32is Jaylon Roth not another Lee.

Wouldn't pick against Nick but don't be shocked when it's closer than you think. Won't have some kid who was lucky to make it out of his 1/4 bracket this year. Helm has a tall order with Lockyear in ticket round. Evansville as good as it gets this year IMO.

BLee is for real!! Glad he and NLee are on opposite sides.

Had 4 opportunities for it at mooresville only one to pull it off Ty Mills at 106.Weaver,Harris,Elmore can't get it done.

Nick Weddle Ben Davis. Had 3 losses in last two weeks of season, has come back in tournment to win both sectional and regional. If he gets by first round match with Dixon of Reitz should punch his ticket.

Not able to find last nights, found last years.

Nice job, Nick

106 Miranda looks to be top dog with Mosconi/Mills winner hoping they have enough energy left to battle in final, CG 113 Skaggs/ Blevins someone goes home early, weaver Poe Fox Fisher all tough 120 Gomez will take second but I don't think he'll be close to Brock, Pritchett Mulkey126 Another dominant Danville performance Molloy Boles Lohman Reese132 Brayton is for real for anyone not paying attention Mitch will be in final, can Rowan-Gast break the curse of Avon wrestlers who have knocked him out at regionals Roth138 Weddle dominant in final leaving Harris and Wilkerson on same side any of the three could win Adkins/Canto will be a good match.145 Fainter will have hands full with Ellis right off Warren Owens Johnson 152 Dunn Whitaker Van Horn Miranda 160 helm Runyon Caudle Glover was solid not sure he has enough to make it to Eville170 Stevenson/ Lydy should be final of day Walton and don't over look Pedorsa who has been Avon's MVP this year wrestling three different weight classes over the season. 182 Scheffer looked even better Saturday than he did at SPut last week, Elmore will have to up his game if he wants a one seed, Munn,is the freshmen from Whiteland for real? 195 Scott Lee Southwood McCormick220 Both semi should be close Larson Scroogs and Wilder McCubbins 285 Hensen /Biddle somebody goes home Fuqua Masters same thing York and the winner of that fight to take on Oglesby.Team wise Avon Brownsburg fight it out BD Franklin play spoilers.

Way to go Avon! Great finish for the seniors.

Weddle over Harris 9-0

Here's hoping we (Avon) can stay healthy this week!! My finals:106 Miranda/ Mills 113Weaver/ Skaggs semi with Fox could go either way. 120 Hudkins/Mulkey another semi that could go either way with BD. 126 Molloy/ Lohman (I know homer pick) 132Lee/ Roth 138 Harris/ Weddle 145Fainter/Owen 152Miranda/Gay 160 Helm/Caudle ( upset) 170 Lydy/ Walton 182 Scheffer/Elmore 195 McCormick/ Osho 220 Larson/Wilder 285 Oglesby/Hensen I hate to jinks us but Avon wins if seeds pull thru and a couple others sneak up a spot or two.
