What I really like about this tournament is that by the end of the day we get 5 duals against Ohio teams. Personally, I really enjoy getting out of Indiana some during the season. At Mishawaka, we used to dual a couple Michigan powerhouses - Lakeshore and Lowell. At Brownsburg, we are better off financially and can travel more. Ohio last weekend, Michigan this weekend, and Illinois over break.
As far as Harrison, OH tournament, most Ohio teams were down this year. Chad Dennis the Harrison Head Coach told me that himself about his own team. Regardless of dual scores and there not being an Ohio Powerhouse Team there this year, we always run into stud individuals. One year we went to this tournament and easily won every dual, but Ty Mills and Nathan Walton both lost. Last year we won every dual relatively easy, but State Qualifier Thierry Jean-Baptiste went. 2-3. State ranked Evan Lawhead went 2-3. 2X State Placer Kysen Montgomery lost.
This year we won every dual in a lopsided fashion, but almost all of our guys got pushed.
Logan Miller won in OT against big division #1 ranked Ohio kid.
Drake Campbell grinded out a 3-0 win against a highly ranked Ohio kid.
Peyton Asbury a 3-2 win against the stud brother of the kid Drake wrestled.
Dorian Keys a 3-2 win in a bloody, physical match.
State ranked Isaiah Street and Greg Glover took loses against absolute freaks.
Whenever anyone asks, I always say this is a good and weird tournament. We should have success as a team, but some of our studs are gonna get pushed and some of them are going to lose.
We will be back next year for sure.
