You have obviously never seen me golf.

I was up in the Pike room the other day, we had like 7-8 girls in the room. 

Do they wrestle on one mat per weight class? I have a student wrestling, or at least registered at 141 that I am interested in seeing. I am hoping that they will be on one mat so I can see him. Brevin Cannon from Pike, He tells me that he is really good, and I just want to find out.

ha, I am older than he is...
 
oh wait, that means that I am old. never mind.

Heldt also received NCAA Div. III Most Dominant Wrestler award by averaging 5.56 team points per match on the season!

Heldt is a pretty special story if you don't know much about him.  As a junior in high school he was still JV 170 and believe his JV record that year was 12-5.  He grew 3 or 4 inches and spent the summer in the weight room/wrestling room with Nate Warman and everything was different after that!
 
Heldt also won the NCAA Elite 90 award last year when he finished NCAA Runner Up and having a 4.0 GPA.

I am working with the kiddies again, it takes me longer to get down to the mat then it does to show the move, and they are on to something different by the time I get back to my feet.

I almost left my shoes on the mat.....
 
But I couldn't bend over to do it, so they came home w/ me. 
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words, it was pretty cool and that's a good group of guys in that picture. All very supportive of each other and wrestling movement!
 

congrats Coach O'Neill. you did a great job at WC, and I hope you are there for a long time.

Not only does joe do a great job on here, he even gave a young lady an interview who was at the finals this year and doing work for her degree. Joe spends time with anyone who has a real interest in the sport, and does his level best to make sure the right info gets out to those who ask.

I will go with no conference. With Cathedral and Carmel, and center grove not being aligned, thats a pretty strong group of non-conference people placing.
 
After that, you have Central Indiana with the kids from Avon, and Brownsburg leading the way.
 
Then you have the duneland that had to have a strong showing.
 
I do not remember all the schools in any of those conferences, so it may be different from what I recall.

looks so impressive, and just a freshman, this could be our next 4 timer

It cannot be held anywhere near Indianapolis, the billionaire NBA owners will have most every room locked up and you will end up staying in Anderson, Shelbyville, or such.
 
Ball state cannot fit 4 mats on the floor without removing seats, and then you run into seating issues. 
 
Ft Wayne the hockey team was trying to force the IHSAA to buy out their home game and refused to move it, so if you were hoping for that location, you know where to express your displeasure the hockey team thought they had the IHSAA over a barrel and was trying to force a huge payday for themselves at the expense of the wrestling fans. 
 
That leaves the Ford center, they have the parking, and assured the IHSAA that they have the requisite number of hotel rooms, with plenty of places to eat near the arena for the breaks.
 
I just hope that they block out rooms for the workers who are
helping with this event.
 
And there is no chance of them moving it back a week and displacing the girls state finals. It would not be fair to the girls, and do you want to be the one who goes on record as moving a girls event in favor of a boys event?

It is a line from Greg Warren a former wrestler, and now a comedian that has been on the Bob and Tom show talking about a mouthy teammate in high school giving him grieve for being in the band as well as a wrestler.

Someone needs to put Lance Ellis in this discussion, as a 4 timer, his freshman campaign had to be pretty impressive. That would go for any of the 4 timers in Indiana History.
