Todd Batt wins 8-4 over Illinois Class A State Champion Maxx Hubbard

I Love you brother! Hope you and your family are doing well.... Good luck next weekend

I watched the entire webcast from North Carolina, as a former coach for South Adams... sure its nice to see more coverage of the SA kids... trust me... I was texting Landon Genth to correct Seth Sprunger, and Genth was doing a great job. Sprunger is a heck of a speaker, but never wrestled a day in his life, but at the same time... fell in love with wrestling and has become a huge wrestling fan to try a bring good things to our sport. He will get there folks, he is learning.... remember your first match!? you didn't know jack about wrestling either... as far as WZBD goes... they have 10 times more wrestling and coaching wrestling experience.... and all there commentators are from Bellmont, so yes they are going to do a fine job... AJ and Rex when he is on, are both going talk more about the Bellmont kids for sure, but they comment on all the Adams County kids, just as the BTWN did... I just enjoy hearing and seeing wrestling, where ever in the world I may be... and these two Adams County productions gave I feel the best coverage in the State.... Keep up the great work, BTWN and WZBD.... ~Sparks

Jay Co will always do whatever Jay Co wants to do.... besides its just a matter of time before they are forced to give up one or both events.... There are several other schools foaming at the mouth to take it.

Oh the bashing, how I missed it..... The fact of the matter is not the School or the Schedule.... It's who you have in the room everyday... You may have a kid with 10 plus losses, but it doesn't matter to him because that's pretty darn good when he gets it handed to him in practice everyday... That's the kid that fights his butt off and keeps things close and comes up big during tourney time. Then you have these kids with just a loss or two... that has no one to hand it to them everyday in the room... because they are king... Well most kings of the ring get greedy and way too cocky and forget about those 10 plus losers.... who is tired of getting it handed to them day in and day out. So think about that kids, when your number 1 stud doesn't make the finals.... Does he have someone in the room that puts him in check?

South Adams Wins.... batt and ehr champions... Ehr most vw!

Thank all of you! For all ur comments.. Ur all too kind. I will enjoy Sandhill and the heat... But not as much as the snow flies at Conseco! Todays the day! E.C.I.C.... Good luck Starfires... Tear it up!

As some of you may know, ?starsaw?, or the original South Adams Wrestling Star, ok maybe not the original there were many, many other great wrestlers that I have had the opportunity to wrestle along side and coach for over the years from South Adams, and where I have had the pleasure to also work with some very amazing and professional coaches as well. I have been on staff at South Adams since 1998, when I got of active duty from the Army. Over the years I have found myself back with the military, mainly because other than Wrestling, it?s the very one thing I Love. I have been recently assigned to Ft. Benning, GA as a Drill Sergeant. I report right after the Christmas break, so sadly I am going to miss out on the second half of the season. My time here at South Adams has been a great one, first rate. Our Varsity went from winning just a few matches a year to winning A.C.A.C. titles. We have gone from not getting a kid out of Sectional some years to walking the Floor at Conseco almost every year. I am very proud of our kids that have busted it and our Coaches that put endless hours to make our Program what it is today. Leaving Starfire Wrestling is probably one of the hardest things I have had to do. I love all of those guys like my own kids, my own brothers, and my family. BUT, they are in the greatest hands and that makes me feel good. I will follow them as much as I can, and do what I can from down south to assist each and every one of them. I want to thank all of you, in the Wrestling community for all your efforts to make our sport what it is today. Indiana Mat is without question one of the best Wrestling Websites out there, besides www.starfirewrestling.com of course. Who would have thought I?d go from some young snot nosed, mouthy coach that argued with Y2 any chance I could? to doing what ever I could to help him create this amazing site. It?s been a huge asset to every wrestling program across the entire State of Indiana. Thanks Joe! It makes me feel good that I was able to help in what ever way I could. Thank You Indiana Mat, Indiana Wrestling, for everything? it?s been Awesome! The E.C.I.C. at Jay County will be my last event before I go but like I told the guys here? if I have any opportunity to come back? I will do just that. If I can?t, well I will continue to follow our great sport using Indiana Mat. GOOD LUCK to all of you for the remainder of the season! GO Starfires! F.I.R.E! -Coach Sparks Special Thanks to all of the Starfire Wrestling Coaching Staff, over the years: Jeff Miller, Ron Crider, Steve Tatman, Danny Brotherton, Ryan McCroskey, Eric Hirschy, Craig Hammitt, Jay Stahly, Denny Schwartz, Brian Fox, Herb Bergman, Bob Vickery, Ryan Moore, Jeff Sprunger, Ben Wanner, Josh Kimberlin, Josh Mann, Dustin Ehr, Jackson Werst, Landon Genth, Andy Myers, and of course my close personal friend Coach Eric Myers, who allowed me to come into my own. Thanks Brother. And Last but not Least a Very Special Thank you to all of you Past, Present, and Future members of Starfire Wrestling!

I say we wait to see who comes ready to wrestle..... anyone can be beaten on any day.... So shake your wangs, this pee pee contest is over.

Batt was up, 4-0

I AGREE! This is what I am tired of?.. I am tired of people bashing all these schools, wrestler?s abilities and their schedules?. Competition is Competition? Some is Better than others yes I know?. But what Many people fail to understand? is that when you have a sport as competitive as wrestling?. Success just doesn?t happen over night?. It takes years! Decades! To build a Program! Small schools have to suffer crappy comments about their schedule, because they can afford to travel or their location?. It takes several years just to change a schedule anyways?. Unless something just opens up?. Union City Coaches I am sure are doing all they can to find more ways to better their kids? as we do here at South Adams? So quit bashing? let them do work, let them take Pride in this sport we all Love. And Indiana Wrestling will all be better in the end.

SA won last dual... Went 5-0 on the day... Got 2nd as a team to Mason Ohio... Who also went 5-0 but scored 5 more team points to win the team title..... I dont have many other ind. Results yet...

just got word that SA beat Alexandria.... 40 to 27 and SA beat Southwestern 63 to 9.... 4-0 so far....

I was unable to attend, do to Army weekend, I have been getting some updates... SA 39, Fishers 37... SA 40, New Castle 27 (Batt pinned Catron, Ehr over Mullins 3-1 and Sprunger over Decker) more to come I am sure....

The Berne Tri Weekly is broadcasting a few of our matches this year. I'm hoping for a solid audience for these broadcast so that wrestling continues to get air time. They will be broadcasting these 2 events SA vs Jay County this Saturday beginning at 11 am SA vs AC next Thursday beginning at 7pm Possibly the ACAC at Woodlan High School Pass this along to anyone who is out of town or would not be able to attend. Thanks! http://www.bernetriweekly.com/webcast

thats a huge 6 points! Wrestling is not just about yourself anymore..... Our sport has grown way past that, when you can do your part... for your team... then it was not for Nothing. It was for Pride, your school, your community, and Indiana Wrestling!

I would just like our great community know here at Indiana Mat, that we have lost one of our greatest competitors, a wonderful young man and probably one of the best team leaders our program has ever had at South Adams High School. 2006 Graduate, Spencer Haworth was killed this past weekend in a tragic 4-wheeler accident. Spencer was only 22 years old. Spencer ranks 6th in all time wins and falls at South Adams with a career total of 105 wins, he was a Semi-State Qualifier his senior year. His hard work and dedication to our program during struggling seasons to being apart of the most successful season in school history, his senior year, is a great example for not just wrestlers, but for all athletes alike. His presence in the wrestling room and in the class room always brought the best out of every student/ athlete. We, the coaching staff would ask that your thoughts and prayers go out to his family. In addition, we are hoping to gain support to have our annual South Adams Wrestling Invitational, re-named in honor of this young man... The Spencer Haworth Memorial Invitational, at South Adams. ?It is with a very heavy heart that I send out this update. This past weekend we lost one of our best friends and members of the South Adams Wrestling family, far far too early. Spencer Haworth passed Sunday night as a result of a ATV incident. Spencer was one of the most fun loving, loyal individuals that I have known.? ?Head Coach Eric Myers Funeral Services: Wednesday June 2nd, Viewing: 2pm to 8pm in Geneva Indiana. The Funeral will Be Thursday June 3rd, at 2 pm located at Zion Lutheran Church in Chattanooga, Ohio. http://starfirewrestling.com/default.aspx

who plays basketball anyways.... but thats pretty awesome... I guess if i didnt have a wrestling team, I would have been like Mike! lol most likely fouled out every game!

i will see what i can do... Dont wanna disapoint our fans!

wow.... i guess rules are just guide lines to follow now these days.
