Enjoy the rest of your time at Wabash! Always well written articles. Took me a bit to find my path after graduation (Wabash Class of '92) but my education there helped me persevere and adjust quickly to changing situations. If you're interested in continuing your wrestling experience and wearing stripes, send me a message and I can definitely help!

The stupid LC invite that we hosted Friday and Saturday after thanksgiving was awful and I still have ptsd from setting up mats and cutting on thanksgiving. It was not very fun to officiate either!! Even without having to worry about the scale lol.

Decisive victory by a very tough Rochester squad in the final dual over a very solid Cathedral team (45-22). Very good wrestling from teams from all around the state (Avon, Columbus East, EMD, Tell City, Westfield, Ev North, North Posey, Edgewood, Bloomington S, Laf Jeff, TH North, Ev Mem and Owen Valley). The event was VERY well run and know they are looking to grow it in the years to come!

I was crowned Madison County champ back in 1988 in the Wigwam!!

Pretty sure the early season one was at the Capitol City Classic.

I definitely think the emphasis on mat cleanings paid off this season! I think I saw just two skin issues all year that weren't covered by appropriate paperwork and one of those just happened at a middle school dual.

Believe he is currently the assistant coach at Anderson HS.

Sorry to say that the 2020 Spartan Classic has been cancelled.

Pretty sure the rules in place at that time didn't allow for pins with the defensive wrestler entirely out of bounds...some of the pinning area had to be in bounds. That changed a couple years ago.

145 in 1988...solidly in the Heavyweight group now! BUT have dropped 25 lbs from my peak and trending in the right direction! Hoping to make 195 by next wrestling season!

The Brebeuf opening has been filled by Cory Watkins.

Brebeuf Jesuit (Indpls) Coach Mic Roessler has stepped away.

I'm in favor of adopting both rules. Having reffed a few post-season tournaments that utilized the college out of bounds rule, it was GREAT for continual wrestling! There are obviously a few mats/situations that would require adjustments to out of bounds calls, but we already work with that currently.
