Randolph Southern had three wrestlers at Union County this past Saturday and I was told they had two other wrestlers on the team but unavailable for the weekend. Coach Hosbrook was in attendance as well.
While I think the new and updated Pepsi Coliseum will be an excellent venue once they set their dates, I hope the Indy Convention Center has been explored? The Indy Nationals were held there a year ago and it was an outstanding venue! We had at least 12 mats down and room for plenty more. The seating was more than ample and could easily be added to as needed. Guessing it is not the most cost efficient...but parking is not an issue either. Guess it depends with what else is going on at that same time...auto show? Gamecon? Colts game? Just throwing it out there to make sure nothing is missed.
Regarding the Wabash College facility, there were 11 mats down in the fieldhouse during the Scholastic Duals with room for maybe one more there. The gym could easily hold at least 4 more. Seating in the fieldhouse is not the best.
Have to second the Lafayette Jeff choice...sectional spread was outstanding! Plus have to give extra credit for the creative melon carving!
I have a nice picture of it, but can't figure out how to post it on here!
Bernard and Miller traded escapes in the 2nd and 3rd periods without a whole lot of action until Bernard secured a takedown mid-way thru the third. Miller got the quick escape and was close to a takedown of his own at one point. Bernard was given a stalling warning and appeared close to getting another near the end until he locked up a front headlock as the 3rd period ended.
I saw on the results page that Elwood won the Madison County tourney yesterday in a close one over Pendleton Heights...is that the first time for Elwood?? They've always had solid teams, but I'm not aware of them ever winning that tourney.
Coach Moss,
Truly appreciate the updates on Wabash Wrestling, especially with so many Indiana kids enjoying such great success! Keep them coming!
Good Luck to all the Little Giant Wrestlers!
There was Unsportsmanlike Conduct called on wrestlers from both teams (different matches), resulting in the score difference between what the scoreboard showed and what Track came up with.
Mooresville ran 4 mats. Only dropped to two mats for the last round of consolations (setting up who would wrestle for 3rd and who would wrestle for 5th) which allowed the table help and stripes to grab a bite to eat. Then ran matches for 1st, 3rd and 5th concurrently. Finished before 4pm. Very well ran.
So what I gather from the few posts comparing Evansville's change in location to the situation in M'ville, someone just needs to convince Ms. Qualizza to build a new gym!! Problem solved!
On the next upgrade to indianamat 2.0, we need a "Like" or (+1) button for comments! There's often I read a comment and want to compliment the comment, but maybe not "wahoo" the poster! Also would make it easier to find that elusive "post of the year"!
At a regular dual meet, or a multi dual where you weigh in by team, I could see where this might slip by if the coach opts to bump guys around and the opposing coach doesn't notice. However at Sectional, or any individual tournament where you weigh in by weight class, it can and should be caught by the official at the scale.
2. Maybe an Official can help me out, but I do believe an Offical should have been the one to not permit the wretler to even weigh in for 120 weighing what he did.
Well, he certainly can WEIGH IN for 120 , but yes, the official should have caught that he was not eligible to WRESTLE 120. Had exact situation occur on my scale at sectional and said wrestler was NOT allowed to compete.
Not quite sure what you mean by a "duals-type individual tourney"...it was strictly an 8 team individual tournament. Now North did face PHHS in several of the finals matches (maybe 6-7?), with North winning a majority of those matchups. However, I don't think this quibbling is going to factor into which team comes out of the Zionsville Team Regional!
