Definitely not counting them out, just was saying BB and MD were front runners for preseason #1 in duals, and Cathedral may be individual tourney favorites

but that’s just my opinion, may be way off base

As far as the subject of the post- i would say top two could be interchangeable- Mater Dei and brownsburg.

cathedral will have a solid chance in the individual tourney

Southridge’s new coach is Kurt Collins

Ok, I always thought tickets went on sale around the start of the current years tournament. Just curious if anyone had an idea

Does anyone know when tickets for next year at Minnesota go on sale?

If I remember correctly, they had 4 go to state this last season (which 2 return), and 2013 they did win SemiState. 

I don't think they've gone away, just haven't been a top 5 in the state type of team.

Still looking for more kids, if you're interested, please contact me

coach Bell went back to North Carolina where he lived for many years

So far 105, 112, 120, 130, and 140 are spoken for, but we will take extras. if you're interested, please message me

Neal beat lesnar for a NCAA title, I think Neal getting smoked is incorrect

I don't mind the change one bit. I've coached in 3 sectionals (southridge, central, and now castle) and this will make 4 regionals (jeffersonville, Bloomington south, castle, and now North)

every venue is different and has their pros and cons.

the reason castle runs so smoothly is there is a great support system and they've had 40 years to get it right. We can't judge north yet because it hasn't happened yet.

personally I've felt Bloomington south and jeffersonville run their regionals just as smooth if not smoother than castle. They can run 4 mats and everything is top notch.

that being said, if we as coaches and fans, the main reason we go is for the wrestling, not the venue. The wrestling will be the same at north as it was at castle because....well it's the same wrestlers, just different gym

Yet another head scratching move by the ihsaa.  Wood memorial finished last in the central sectional.  They are being moved to castle in exchange for reitz.

Sorry we're bringing the sectional down. For what it's worth, we didn't ask to be moved.

PS: Hey JPT 189

Hello coach Barnett

I think the hatchet house in Washington would be excellent in terms of seating and geographical location, except the parking and floor space for the mats is not adequate.
