I dont post much on here anymore, but I am still very connected to Indiana wrestling and pay attention. Knowing all of the players in this convo, I feel comfortable commenting and want to revert back to Andy's post. It is all about creating a streamlined pathway from elementary to HS. That is going to forever be the SAC's Achilles. I tried fervently for 4 years to start a middle school program and got no support outside of my own staff. The other big focus (at least in the FWCS schools) is consistency. I tried my hardest to make sure that we had consistency in our approach. Very often you see a lot of wrestlers with potential start for a year, then fall of the map. Positive family support/stability, academics, etc. all come into play with this. There is more I can add, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Big congrats to Geoff Davis on his win tonight. Two years ago, as a freshman, Geoff was your classic 85 pounder that went 3-30 at 106. Had a better sophomore year, but ended the second half of the year on JV and now is a state placer! Good luck tomorrow and don't settle! I'll be watching from California.

This wasn't a bad one about the success that can come despite some tough early results.

Of course I will...but California wrestling isn't as exciting unless you are in Clovis or Poway. =)
