That was a great upset, however it was not the Russians they beat for the Gold medal. They beat them in the Semi-finals.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
125 at Shelbyville..... returning state runner up is the number 2 seed. Returning state placer seeded 3rd. Can anyone else top that........ :) :) :)
-
Thanks Coach Williams for posting the results. I wish we could have gotten some better coverage in the Star, but what are ya going to do, once again, they prove they could care less about any high school sport that is not basketball, or football.
-
He quit. dont know why.
-
Nice job guys. You will be in the top 10 soon.
-
Wow, not even anything on the Indy Star web site. They usually have atleast the finals match ups and final team score.
-
Thanks Y2, just goes to show, there is alot of good wrestling taking place here in the state. And with Trine beating Olivet yesterday, they should move atleast one spot in the top 30 team ranking as well.

As a graduate of Andersonb High school. and former resident of the town, it saddens me to see the city losing another High school. Several years ago, they lost Madison Heights, and now Anderson Highland. I would hope that 1st they decide to rename the new high school to help bring the city back together, and do away with both the Scots, and the Indians. 2nd, I would hope that they continue thier affiliation with the North Central Conference, By bringing these two schools together, they would help strengthen all sports teams, as well as music, and other extra curricular activities. I cant help but feel saddened for all the students that are currently enrolled in HHS as freshmen through Juniors that will not be able to graduate from the school they have grown up thinking would be the school named on thier diploma. Good Luck to all Scot wrestlers may your last year be your best.
-
FYI for anyone interested in seeing alot of former Indiana High school wrestlers competing at the next level. Trine will travel to U of I for a dual meet on Thursday night at 7:30.
-
Not sure where it is this year, but the Shelbyville/Franklin Central /Warren Central sectional will be tough as always with Warren Central, New Pal, Beech Groove and Roncalli all there.
-
While I would not suggest it for the kid in question, Beer, chicken wings, and 10:00 pm bowls of Ice cream has put alot of weight on me. ;D Good luck to him, he is in a unique position in that he cant put it on, while most of us in the state are battling the other way.
-
No, they wont see then except for at this event. Unless it is at team state.
-
Does 0-0 count as undefeated? or does it mean that alot of winless kids will be there? ;D
-
While I personally dont give much weight to rankings of any sort, but they do tend to generate quite a bit of discussion on the board. They are usually the most commented on subjects. The only values I place on them is a place for some kids to be able to go and see that thier hard work from last year, or this year to date has paid off in as much as someone else has noticed. If a kid spends alot of time looking at the ramkings, he will not be ranked for very long. They are more for the proud mamas and papas out there so they can brag at work. If a kid feels he should be ranked and is not, then 2 things must be realized. This is not little league where everyone gets a trophy or a ribbon, and the second thing is they need to get thier butts back in the room, work harder, and longer then the kids that are ranked, and soon thier work will be seen on the mat, and then in the rankings.

Congrats Sammy, I have always enjoyed seeing you and the rest of your family at all the different meets. It is great that you will be continuing your education, and wrestling at such a good school.
-
Wait, are you saying that you cant just throw your singlet out on the mat and win matches. Wow, that is amazing. Who would have thought it. Sean, good luck this year I wish you all the best. Oh and FYI, for those that dont get it, the 1st part was sarcasam. The 2nd part wishing Sean well was not.
-
Wow, you wrestle with only one foot, that is impressive. ;D
-
What do you mean it is going to be fun to watch....We have been watching them for the last 4,5,6 years here, they were just wearing different singlets. But you are right it should make for some fun wrestling. Maybe even the local news outlets might actually cover some of it since there are so many in state kids on both teams.

Capital City Classic match ups to look for!!
Trinedad replied to Midwest Wrestling Fanpage's topic in Past Discussions
I would love to go, but that weekend is little state to be hald at Trine this year. So alas I will be unable to attend. I will get to as many of the big meets I can, I enjoy watching Andre wrestle and seeing his improvements from week to week. And yes, Nick is working hard in the room, trying to get himself to be as competitive as he can be at that level. It is a bit step up. In high school, all of the kids being discussed on the board are the studs in thier room, once they go to the next level, every kid in the room was the stud in thier room. What a great time. and a fantastic learning exp. for them. I expect him to grow greatly as a wrestler, but more importantly I expect to see huge changes in him as a man. Not that there was anything wrong with him as a kid. -
I did nto say I would not be part of irrelevant behavior or discussions, just that they are irrelevant. I personally do enjoy reading what everyone thinks, but that does not change the fact that opinions, rankings, predictions are irrelevant. And since I dont have a dog in this fight, it helps me to keep up with who is doing what. That may be the single biggest advantage to them. It allows people that are no longer in the sport to stay up on who is and isnt doing well.
