Nice win for perry. PSU12 IU 10 going to 184

Wow, was that actually a negative comment from Chertow about one of the PSU wrestlers....

nice paitence by young to work for that take down, Vallimont just about gave up the fall. Young wins 4-1

Oh good, now we get to listen to ken Chertow talk even more. Does his voice have the fingernails on a chalk board effect on you guys like it does me. Please, show some more commercials so we dont have to listen to him talk anymore.

Jacob Tonte, headlock, from anywhere, at any time, once you get in it, you are not getting out of it. The kid has the best headlock I have ever seen. Have seen him lock it up while he was on his back, and then get the fall with it.

Isnt it every wrestlers job to not get pinned? I thought that saving team points was a good thing? Did the ref warn him before he hit him with the flagrant call, or did it happen to quickly? Is this going to have any ramifications for Tony and the sectional, or does the fact that it happened during the match mean that the punishment stays within the match and getting dq'd is the only result.

Or maybe it will lead to CSI Iowa. : No, they wont do that because then they would have to actually show real wrestling, or at the very least investigate the sport to depict life like wrestling.

A classy show by 2 classy programs, and a classy kid. all you can say is CLASSIC

OK, everyone needs to remember all of the contacts they have across the country and just inundate CBS with emails for casting this kind of light on wrestling. Pedo's, kids dropping dead after practice, kids on the team being completely insane, parents going nuts. My guess, the writer of this show was a 2nd string water boy for the bball team and hated wrestlers because they actually did something. Not only that, they showed horrible wrestling, what the heck was that refs position the showed at the end? Why was the kid on all fours with no top guy covering him, and then a cheesey lateral drop and the kid on bottom just lays there. http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.php There is the link.

I would say it comes down to both. You have to have the talent to get to a point in the tourney where the draw can make a difference. Each year there are ticket round matches that would be great semi-finals if held the next week at Conseco. This year there will be 5-6 ticket round matches that will garner alot of talk on this board the week leading up to semi-state. There will be quite a few that will happen at the regional round, and come Friday night at state, a few people will get paired up for matches that should come later on Saturday. So I will not mention what this screams for, it is not like anyone actually listens anyway.

Jon is wrestling 140 at Warren Central, the family moved back to Warren this year and right now he is 21-5

Well, if you end up moving to : Da Region", you have many great programs to choose from. You will need to look at each school up there and decide if a larger school, or a smaller school will be the best fit. If you manage to be in town for the state finals, you will see many kids from all size schools representing that area of the state. If you move into the central Indiana area, you again are faced with a lot of good choices, depending on drive time you want to make to work. The north side offers 4-5 good selections of schools that have ISWA clubs as well as fielding quality high school teams. One other thing you might want to consider if wrestling is going to be one of the main reasons why you select this school over the other, with everything else being equal, is what semi-state the school goes through, and what weight you project your son to be at next year.

It would not suprise me if alot of the weight classes dont go that way people expect them to go. Outside of 4 of them I dont see anyone that are head and shoulders about the rest. I think Nelsen should win convincingly at 112, Cashe will not be stopped at 125, I dont think Mascaro will be challenged at 135, Johnson-Jones should win at 189. Other then those classes, there is someone to challenge at every other weight. In some cases 3-4 kids are capable of walking away with the hardware Even saying that, each one of these kids is capable of making a mistake that cost them. Do I expect it to happen, No, but it could. 103 it should be Parham, and Boston 112 Pedigo is tough, but I dont see him beating Nelsem 119 Milton takes it over Jensen, but that could go either way 125 $$$ wrestles only as long as he wants to in each match 130, Odom and Legan should make the finals according to the ranking, but both can be knocked out sooner by some real quality kids along the way. 135 Mascaro is the class of the field and should have little trouble, but Rattay is a tough nosed kid that will battle him 140, crump should win, but if he gets lazy, he can get in trouble 145 is wide open with as many as 5 different kids that could walk away with the title 152 Again, this weight it depends on who shows up to wrestle on Saturday 160 Komilov is such an unorthodox wrestler comming from Russia, but with Hinds lurking, who knows 171 Grimes v Mappes looks to be a great match, and one I will be looking forward to watching 189 Johnson-Jones is so strong and athletic he should win with ease 215 Berry v Dorsey is a rematch of a few weeks ago won in a close one by Berry, should also be a great match 285 Cuevas should win this, but I know nothing about the kid from THN

Even during the High School season? dont work out with kids from other schools up here, that is a big nono

I am sure the rules concerning that are silimer to those in Indiana. Most good school programs offer a freestyle and greco club to go along with the HS tem for the off season. BTW, What is the off season?

No, I think he must have been hurt this year, he only has a 6-4 record

Ya know this is an interesting topic, it would be interesting to get the info on the gold and blue teams from the last 5-10 years and see what the accompishments of each team were. Did the gold or blue team progress further, that sort of thing. I dont want to do that work, but I would sure enjoy the results. What can I say, I am lazy, and just want to be entertained. ;D

teams involved are as follows. 23. Shenandoah (11): Blue River Valley, Cambridge City Lincoln, Centerville, Hagerstown, Knightstown, New Castle, Northeastern, Richmond, Rushville, Shenandoah, Tri.

Fleeing the mat, I am quite certain if I had to wrestle him, I would have a knee injury, or shoulder injury, heck I would use a stubbed toe as a reason not to wrestle him. That might be a 1st, a stubbed toe keeping someone off the mat. Maybe TAE could research that and provide us with the correct answer.

I think I could take him...... To McDonalds, or any other place he wanted to eat after he pounded me on the mat.

You are correct, giving coach P all the credit would be wrong, and he would be the 1st to tell you that. I can think of 3 distinct times when my sons wrestling has taken a leap forward. The 1st was way back in elementary school when we got invited to go into the CYO program over at Holy Spirit where he recieved some excellent coaching. The second was in middle school when he went and worked out with coach Redd up at LC, and 3rd and most significntly was when he stepped into the room at CIA. There he not only recieved great coaching from coach P, but also had some of the best practice partners in the state. That is what I believe is coach P's secret. He has some outstanding kids in the room, and helps foster a work ethic that is hard nosed, but also fun for the kids. We are blessed with a plethora of great coaches in this area, and throughout the state, but if I could give one piece of advice to parents looking to find that little something extra, contact coach P, if it is in there, he will help you find it. The one constant in all three instances where Nick has improved has been there were great workout partners in each of these rooms, and they all worked hard, and then played hard and knew that you have to have fun as well as beat em up practices.
