    I know this is a little off the main discussion topic, but our club does not start till end of November. I believe the season is long enough already. 4 months of folkstyle then another month and half of freestyle. I fear of the burnout factor for the younger kids. Also, I am not sure it would fix the "All Star" teams. I think it would be worse as clubs could pull in any kid and just add them as a member.

    In our area, 3 schools came together and started friendlies that we called the Rival Wrestling League. We run them on Friday nights from 7-9pm typically prior to a HS super dual on Saturday. So the HS kids set up Friday after practice, then the club kids (pre K to 5th) come in and wrestle, then the HS kids tear down after their event. We mark the kids hands with grade and weight. We just match them up mat side and run as many through as possible. Some kids get as many as 6-8 matches in. The nice thing is that the kids get as many matches as they want and then head out. The "League" has since grown to 9+ clubs. We charge $1 per person or $5 a family. So this is also little bit of a fund raiser for the host site. All the club leaders get together at the beginning of the season to set the schedule. We also have a set of guidelines that we all go by to keep it uniform. I can send you our guidelines via email if you would like.

    I think if it is a middle weight, that argument goes away. There were multiple jv kids at every event we went to from 126-160. Not so much at upper and lower end weights.
  4. jetwrestling
    We had more kids out this year than years past by about 7 or 8. 106 was a forfeit, but I had 8 kids at 138/ 145. A good reason to bring back more middle weight classes.

    The other major contributing factor is the multi sport kid at a small school. The pool of athletes is smaller therefore we have to share kids to maintain successful programs. We have a very good football program. 20 of my 27 high school wrestlers played football and a couple run cross country. Come spring time several are playing ball. The hard work argument is not an issue. They work hard, just not always in the sport of wrestling. We try to coordinate our off season schedule with the football guys so the boys can participate in both.

    This is the biggest difference and factor between successful large schools and small schools. We are a school of 375 kids. We have a pretty solid feeder program and are pretty successful for our size at the high school level. We have wrestled duals versus Brownsburg, Perry Meridian, Yorktown, Chesterton, Bloomington South, Mishawaka, Bellmont, etc within the last two years. The overwhelming factor is the depth of talent those programs have. Depth is my concern every year. 1-2 kids/ injuries can significantly affect our line up. I personally love the classed state duals. That event has allowed the smaller programs to show case their kids who otherwise may not get that kind of exposure. And it is a good recruiting tool. I also am a fan of the single class individual tourney. I love our state finals event. The only thing missing is wrestlebacks. So we need to really sit down and come up with options that would increase participation across all school sizes. I think that should be the underlying goal. If participation numbers go up, more programs can develop depth, which in turn will raise the level of wrestling, more kids get noticed by colleges, etc. Just my 2 cents. Tony Currie

    Just reading quickly, this looks pretty interesting. I think it hits most of the concerns of current system. Random draw pig tails at sectional, time considerations, wrestlebacks. Good starting point for discussion.

    My understanding of the IHSAA rules is that HS kids cannot train or practice with kids from other schools during the IHSAA season. So the question is, does the contract refer to in season or after season? If in season, he is trying to keep the kids IHSAA eligible. Somone correct me if I am wrong.

    We have some new juniors and seniors out this year. A couple are out after sitting out a year or two and a couple are brand new to the sport. Our roster is 31 and we are usually low to mid 20's. I asked the one senior who has never done it before why. His response was- why not, I am not doing anything else.

    I think you have to be careful about assuming where posters are from. Adams Central is the first school listed so you need to change that to select a school on your profile. There are way too many people on here that looks like they are from AC when in reality most likely are not. I would like to think we would not have posters knocking other programs when we are striving to get to their level. So I think folks need to ease up a little on their assumptions of where posters are from. I know Matt and would never take a shot at him or anyone that puts as much time and effort into this sport that we all love. Great weekend by all the kids who participated. It is a great accomplishment to earn a trip to the state finals. Those are the elite kids in the state. Tony Currie

    -Recall that one rep from each semi-state, plus the next 6 highest scores are automatic bids. Current semi-state auto bid leaders include North Posey (E-ville) and Cass (ECC). If either of them were moved up to 2A, the next teams would be North Putnam (E-ville) and Triton (ECC). Unless I am missing something, Morovia would be Evansville SS auto bid, Correct?

    In the match you stated, there was a little extra at the end that was inappropriate and the wrestler was reprimanded. We do not teach nor condone that. It is an emotional sport and at times, high school kids make the wrong decision in the heat of the moment.
  16. jetwrestling
    AC, Dwenger, Southwood, Anderson, Arsenal Tech, Arlington, Winamac, Wawasee, Frontier, Eastbrook. I believe this is the correct list. Tony Currie

    I like the idea of the wildcard. We are a small school club that has participated the last few years in this event. We just do not have kids at some of these weights. I have used the wildcards each year. As Clan Campbell stated, it allows another kid an opportunity to compete. I follow these kids afterwards and enjoy the successes they achieve. It is because they work hard and put forth the time and effort. It is an awesome team event that our kids enjoy. We only use them for the weights we can not fill. I believe that is the spirit of the rule. I have no problem with how anyone else uses their wildcards. That is none of my business or concern. We are glad to have the opportunity to compete at a state level event as a team with our kids who may not otherwise choose to compete at an individual state event. Tony Currie

    Great kid and great family. My boys are fortunate to call him a friend. We have competed with him and against him in sports as the boys have grown. Dad and Mom are first class and it shows in their children. Last night showed that the entire Adams County community is in support of this family. Keep healing, Remy. Tony Currie Adams Central

    I figured that is what they are doing. Ohio uses Trackwrestling for their weight program. We have a tourney over there. I have not been told that is what IHSAA is doing for sure. Tony

    I would support an increase to 5 kids per semi state qualifying. Every year there are cases of 2 deserving kids wrestling in the ticket round. If you keep the current set up of making the semi finals guarantees a top 4 finsh, it will reward the ticket round upsets. Then you wreslte back to 5th and give the kids with a tough draw an opportunity to earn the last qualifying spot. Tony Currie

    I think AC is the first school listed, so it looks like a lot of folks are from there if they choose not to select their school. We did not have a draw from Jay Co. Regional Tony Currie
