  1. Way to go Nick, now come back as Trines 1st AA.
  2. Warren central will have 2, Wright, and Johnson Jones.
  3. You will never find a kid with a better heart the Mike. He spent a large part of last year at our house, and he was always kind and respectful. My 12 year old daughter hates going to watch her brother wrestle (to many years in the stands), but she loves to watch Mike. He is a joy to be around, and is a fine young man. I wish him all the best this year at Conseco, and I will be there to cheer him on.
  4. AJ, you are correct, wrestling is more then the time we, or our kids spend on the mat. It is about the freinds that we find throughout their wrestling that makes it so much fun to be around. One of the things I miss the most since his graduation is the other fathers that I would see every weekend. We would spend the hours at the meet talking, and telling our own stories, listening to theirs. I know my son has made friends not just all over the state, but throughout the country as well, because of his travels. That fact alone ought to be enough, but then you look at the respect that you earn by working hard, and the dedication that you learn through this sport, and there is plenty to be proud of. Even after the last few weeks. Also, if you need anything for the family, let me know. We dont have babies in the house any longer, but we might still be able to pull together a few items to help out.
  5. It does not suprise me that both Trent McCormik, as VP, and Cael Hoover as Pres. were working hard to find a solution to this mess. Both of these men have done nothing but try to treat everyone in the wrestling community fair and equally. I have met and known both for quite a few years and for them to do anything other would be the suprise. I am also sure they were not the only ones trying to resolve this, and for everyone working behind the scenes, I offer a thank you to you as well.
  6. From the Trine web site. 2.7 - Thunder Claim Mid-States Tournament Title Crawfordsville, Ind. - Twentieth-ranked Trine scored a 17 point win over Wabash to claim the Mid-States Tournament title Saturday at Wabash College. The Thunder took first place scoring 150 points, Wabash finished with 132.5. Olivet 129, Mount Saint Joseph 95.5 and Manchester 68.5 rounded out the competition. Next up for the Thunder is the NCAA Division III Midwest Regional February 20 at Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Pa. The event is a qualifier for the NCAA Division III National Championship. Trace Hall (149, South Bend, Ind./Riley) George Markou (165, Peru, Ind./Peru), Nick Kraus (184, Rolling Prairie, Ind./New Prairie) and Alex Fleet (197, Lowell, Mich./Lowell) claimed individual championships. Three Thunder wrestlers finished second: Ryan Pieper (174, Onsted, Mich./Onsted), Dylan Forbes (285, Wolcottville, Ind./Prairie Heights) and Thomas Pompei (141, Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) . Nick Odom (Indianapolis, Ind./Warren Central) finished third in 149. He also recorded three pins, in seven minutes, 52 seconds to win the most falls, least time award. Will Sheets (Decatur, Ind./Bellmont) was fourth at 133. Henry Waring (Avilla, Ind./East Noble) finished fifth at 165. ?It?s what we wanted out of it. Our kids wrestled well. They are progressing at the rate we want them to, " Trine Head Coach Dan Callahan said. ?We?ve got a week of hard training ahead and the week after that we?ll be putting the final touches in as we get ready for the regional.? Eight freshmen and another sophomore placed, in addition to many of Trine stand-by's. ?"We?ve shown some depth. Our young wrestlers did well. Nick and Trace they?ve been wrestling well. I knew Trace was good. He lived-up to my expectations. (Up till now) he hasn?t been able to break our lineup. Given the opportunity, they took advantage of it,? Callahan said. Callahan was also named Mid-States Coach of the Year by a vote of conference coaches. ?It?s always a goal. You do your best and work will hard. We have a great coaching staff. But, we have great wrestlers and it?s always about them. It?s a team award. It has something to do with coaching, but its more about putting together a team and a program, and that?s what I am proud of.?
  7. Thank you Nick, left before all the weights were done. Congrats to the team for winning their 1sr mid states championship
  8. So since they released this, I am to assume that in fact there will be no pig tail matches, and the 14 kids are in fact eliminated. I guess this makes Bobby Cox, the greatest wrestler of all, nobody in the history of the tournament has eliminated more wrestlers in one year then ha has this year.
  9. Noble idea sir, and I congradulate you for raising such a fine young boy. However Mr. Cox has already stated that he does not care for at least 14% of the wrestling community, so I doubt that he is going to do anything to try and make up for this in any way shape or form.
  10. I am not a high school coach, but have spent alot of time around the sport. What I would love to to hear from some of the coaches that were in the room as to what happened and why it happened. I want them to tell us how they came to the conclusions that they did, and how they would feel if it was their team that this happened to. I am not going to fault the coaches for putting thier kids on the mat, they do have to wrestle if told this is it, but how much of a fight, or what kind of discussions were there before they got to the point of putting kids on the mat.
  11. Congrats to the Trine Thunder on winning their conference meet today at Wabash. I left before the end, but I know they won the team, and Trace Hall won the 149 pound class in a thrilling 3-1 overtime win over Wabash college wrestler John Dillon. Nick Odom wnet 3-1 and came in 3rd at 149 was awarded the most pins plaque with 3 falls on the day. (sorry, he is my son, so a shameless plug is not out of line for me.)
  12. Nor is it brutal. This is not MMA where we practice submission holds. I dont know for sure what the football hold is that started this, but choking an opponent out is not now, nor should it ever be something to take pride and pleasure in. You wonder why some people want to do away with out sport, look no further then your mirrior as to why. It is people like you that give our sport a bad name. Walking around gloating over the number of kids you or your team, has choked out. That is rather pathetic. Actually wishing an injury on another person.
  13. What I would like is alot more information, How hard was the slap, did it leave marks, or was it a playful slap upside the head. There are so many unanswered items here to be able to agree or disagree with anything. Were the 2 high schoolers in trouble alot, or was this a 1st time for them, is the middle schooler a kid, or parents with a history of filing complaints, or is this a 1st for them as well. No way any of us can make a choice with the info provided. As far as blindly following the school administration, I will NEVER make that mistake again. I have seen way to many situations where the school system simply checks the handy dandy all everything book, and never actually looks at the kids involved, and the circumstances. They blindly follow the zero tolerance book, and do whatever it says. If you as a parent dont go in and fight for your kid, the school that is supposed to have their and all the other kids under their watchful eye, will do whatever they can to get rid of them simply because they cant, or wont think for themselves. Are they afraid to actully have to make a choice and think dfor themselves, or is it just easier to pass the responsibility on to the school board. And before any of you start in on me, I know 1st hand that this can and will happen. Well, at least thats how they do it in Warren Township
  14. I wish to thank both Roncalli, and New Castle for a great dual meet. One of the wrestlers asked me how I saw it, going into the meet, I told him I had it as a 7-7 wins for each team, and that bonus points would be huge. The final score was in no way indicitave of the wrestling that took place. It was a fabulous meet, and I want to congratulate all wrestlers for a fine performance. Coach Peck, as always you do not suprise me with your comments, you have been if nothing else a model of sportsmanship, and your wrestlers are lucky to have you as thier coach.
  15. I have been reading this topic tonight. I have not decided just where I stand on this issue just yet. The reason for my uncertainty stems from the fact that last week, we were discussing if Kieffer or Wright should injury default the 3rd-4th place match to get to the other side of the bracket from the other for the duration of the tournament. We were all in agreement that the seeding was not done correctly, or atleast was a little odd. So if you thought it was ok to default in that situation, is it different then this one. Yes the cell phone makes it more of a question mark, but basically you are just changing the mode with which you recieved the information. One being a poor seeding, the other a cell phone, but in both cases, you would be asking your wrestler to do something to improve his chances of moving on in the tournament based on information you had prior to the next weeks matches. I dont know that I would call either circumstance unethical, but I would agree that it is unsportsman like in appearance. We teach or kids to go out, work hard, do the best you can, and try to win within the rules. No rules were broken, they may have been bent.
  16. As I was unable to attend todays event, I was wondering if anyone could offer some insight as to what great matches there were ther today. Please, and Thank you.

  18. And living in Indy, I would be remiss to not mention the Jets over the Colts in SB III, thats all we heard about last week. Argentine over the USA in Basketball in the pan am games.
  19. That was a great upset, however it was not the Russians they beat for the Gold medal. They beat them in the Semi-finals.
  20. Karl. you are correct. I am sure that somnewhere along the line some sports programs are going to bve lost, and some kids are going to have to forego participation. I did not say it was a good choice, but it is one I am sure the schools are going to make at some time in the future. However distasteful pay for play is, it is far better then relegating sports to club programs, or cutting them altogether and having nothing. Do I want this, No, do I think it is going to come about, yes. If I knew the answer to any of this, I would not be working on HVAC products for a living. I would be one of those superintendants that are making boat loads of cash, free cars, free gas, free maintenance of free car, and any number of other perks that some of them have negotiated for themselves. I am watching this closely, as I have a son in college that is looking seriously at becoming a teacher and this has a direct impact on where he chooses to live, and how far away it might be to find schools that place values on more then paying their surerindentants a high wage.
  21. No way you can make it one per county. In marion county, you have 3-4 of the largest high schools in the state in the county, let alone all the mess that is IPS. It might work in the smaller counties, but not in the more populated ones. Maybe a per capita type of system where you have a superintendant for a given number of students. But then how do you balance the kids at North Central, Warren Central, Pike, Lawrence North and Central, Ben Davis, and Decatur, with the kids in the IPS system. Toss in Perry Meridian, Southport, and Franklin Central, and that is a job that is way to big for one person to do. IPS alone is to big for one person. Now back on topic, I am sure that somwhere along the line we are all going to see some sort of pay for play in effect at the high school level, no matter the size of the school, or the sport. Will this eliminate some kids, I am sure it will, that is where your booster club can step up and help some of the more disadvantaged kids in the school. You will still lose some kids, but you will be able to help a few.
  22. Dont know what was said, or by whom, but I am guessing there were some interesting words said at the Shelbyville meeting when the 125 class was being seeded.
  23. This is a direct result of the zero tolerance society that we live in today, where common sense would dictate that both of these wrestlers should be the 1 and 2 seed. What we have here is a case of these are the rules, we dont care why they were created, we just read them as written and the results be damned. While I believe that both Wright and Kieffer will advance to saturday at conseco, there is a kid from the other sectionals and regionals that will not, simply because someone HAD to follow the rules as written, and not use their head to actually think about anything in a logical manner. I would have loved to be there to see how both Coach Williams, and Coach Ellis recieved the word that neither of their wrestlers was going to be the number one seed.
