There is a shortage of refs if you think you can do better you should take the test

Hey there are other topics on this board that are all about wrestle backs. Can we get back to tough semi state ticket round matches?

What happen to Hileman? Saw a lot of people picked him to win it all at regionals. First round upset? Or did he not wrestle?

Merrillville 170-Sopko vs Wiseman 182-Jones vs Scott 285-Streck vs Duvall

Since when did the whole Merrillville semi state become the region?

Looking at the brackets I see every final with either a Merrillville or Portage kid in it except 160 and 220. Should be a close team race.

from the east chicago sectional: (they might not all be upsets but im looking at the ssq rankings) 120 - Ruben Rodriguez over Matt Lechowicz in the semi's. Great match 138 -Isaac Rentas of Merrillville over Zach Slosser of Munster by 1 (I think) in the finals Rentas was down by 4 in the 3rd and turned him a couple times from the top. 145 -Willie Armstrong Merrillville over Jake Sebehar Lake Central in the finals 152 -Kodie Christenson Lake Central over Mike Feliciano Bishop Noll by 2 in the finals 160 -Damian Gomez Bishop Noll over Matt Hollins Merrillville in the finals 170 -Ramiro Cazares of Gavit over Jeff Brassea of Lake Central in the semi's 182 -Eric Deluna Merrillville pinned Alex Tucker Lake Central in the finals. LC was up by 4 or 5 in the 3rd before the pin. 285 -Shawn Streck Merrillville pinned Mike Pajdzik Hammond Gavit in the finals

I've heard a ref tell coaches that if the kid backs out of the circle without contact he will hit him with stalling. Good call. All he had to do was keep good defensive position. I'm sure just posting on the guys shot could have prevented the call.

If he lives in Munster my guess is he would take the 20 min drive to Mt Carmel as opposed to the 3 hrs drive to Carmel Indiana.

Any move is stoppable of your in good position and defend it right

Ranking have always just been opinion. If you or your kid isn't where you/they think they should be then Saturday is the first step to prove them wrong.

This was in SD. The kid needed a few stitches but was ok. Crazy. http://youtu.be/Ee04rEJZbDM

Did Hughes/Maldonado happen? What was the score?

Brackets are posted on trackwrestling

I think the Calumet regional has 3 guys at 160 that can hang with or beat any other regional champ outside of Hughes. Maldonado beat Madrando pretty handily at the Harvest. The top 5 160's come out of 2 regionals. It should be an exciting weight class to watch.
