  1. IL and KY, no, not that I am aware of. I know of kids that went to Holy Name catholic school in Henderson, KY that ended up at Memorial, but not at MD. Memorial is much closer to Henderson than MD is so it wouldn't make sense for those kids in Henderson to go to MD. Since MD is in Vanderburgh county, then the kids would have the option of attending an EVSC school. So in that sense, yes, the kids at the west side catholic feeder schools are from the area of EVSC schools. there are numerous kids that go to the west side catholic feeder schools that end up at Reitz or Central or North every year.
  2. Except that isn't the case. They only have kids that came up through the MD feeder system. We've been going over this for years. The kids in the MD program come straight from the west side catholic grade schools that feed into MD. they don't come from KY or IL or from the EVSC schools.
  3. MD is successful because they have had a feeder program for 40-50 years. The coaches in the feeder system are all former wrestlers. the hundreds of volunteers that help out are MD alum. My sons school has 40 kids on their wrestling team. That's more than many high schools. You are now seeing grandkids of former MD wrestlers coming up through the system. It is just a way of life on the west side. Do they work harder than other small schools? Maybe, maybe not. But the foundation was laid generations ago. They are the outlier and if they opted to wrestle in their enrollment class, they would not lose. But they choose to go against schools 4-5x their size and win the majority of the time.
  4. He's the only one allowed to make it personal. If you go personal against him, he will ban you.
  5. i looked for common opponents between Ross and Dalton, since that will be the likely ticket round match. Looks like Dalton beat Alstott in the 95 lb finals at MS state last year 3-1. Ross beat Montgomery at 110 lbs 6-4 in SV. Ross beat Alstott 9-0 at the MD Holiday classic and Montgomery beat Dalton at regional. Last years results don't mean squat, but I found it interesting. Dalton/Ross should be a very good match.
  6. I wonder if Castle would have received an "A" their first year doing it?
  7. Thread title is not accurate. North didn't take anything from Castle. The IHSAA decided to move it to North.
  8. I'm not going to question anybody's parenting because you know your kids better than anybody. I think specializing prior to middle school is not such a good thing. Sorry to say it, TRbell, but the chances of being a state or national champion is slim regardless of whether or not you son plays football (or any other sport). I'm not saying he's not talented enough, because I have no idea who he is, but it's just long odds for anybody. Specializing early may or may not get a kid to that level, but good luck to your son. I see posts on facebook from people that have young kids (1st - 2nd grade) that say how worried their kids are about their diet because they have a better chance at a lower weight. Completely ridiculous at that age. I was always a multiple sport athlete (lettered in 4 sports in HS) and went one season at a time. Wrestling was winter only for me, with an occasional freestyle tournament during the spring. Freestyle pretty much stopped in HS because that was baseball season. I was a state place winner. Could I have placed higher if I had specialized in 3rd or 4th grade? Who knows? But I sure had some good times with my baseball, football and soccer teams that I probably wouldn't trade for a couple of extra spots on the podium. The problem I see is the parents. Again, not pointing fingers to anybody here because I don't know any of you. But I think parents want little Johnny to be the next Nick Lee or Brayton Lee, or Lebron or Bryce Harper and they sacrifice a lot in the hopes of essentially hitting the lottery. Saw a post on FB the other day of a young kid (2nd grade I think) at batting practice with the caption "Putting in work because college is expensive!"
  9. isn't that why class wrestling is discussed???
  10. Maybe the IHSAA thought letting Castle host a sectional and regional was unfair??
  11. How about we wait and see how North does hosting the regional before we say it was a terrible decision?
  12. Geographically, it doesn't make sense to have WM at Central and Reitz at Castle. So it isn't that much of a head scratcher.
  13. Just because they have always done it, doesn't mean that things have to stay the same. I'm all for giving the folks at north a chance to host. I hope the change is a positive one.
  14. Why are they airing this dual instead of PSU/Purdue? Or iowa/OSU? I realize they need to try and give equal exposure to all the schools, but this one doesn't have any appeal to me compared to what else is on the schedule.
  15. If he could do something to stop him, he wouldn't have been taken down 27 times.
  16. Nick lost 6-5, it's not like he went out there and got teched. I'm sure he would love to get back on the mat with Red. Highly doubt there are and "reservations". If anything, Lee probably feels like he let that one get away. That match was 2 years ago. I'm sure a lot has changed for both guys since then.
  17. Not an excuse at all, but I don't believe Lee was 100% for that match with Red. I think him getting ridden like he did in the 3rd period would not have happened if he had had a full seasons worth of matches. I think it may have been a conditioning issue in the 3rd. If they wrestled today, I'd have Lee winning. Spending the last year and a half or so in the NLWC and being around those PSU guys and coaches is better than what Red has at Nebraska.
  18. Sounds more like live drilling that an actual wrestling match.
  19. yes, but it doesn't last as long.
  20. What's the point of humiliating a clearly outmatched opponent like that? No, it shouldn't be a crime to be smooth on your feet, but quit padding stats and just pin those kids that are that overmatched.
  21. Nope, he was runner up. Lost to Jason Terry.
  22. I believe this rule has been in place for years. Back in 1990, Matt Stevens from Evansville Harrison and Williams (I think) from Southridge trained together during the post season. Stevens was state runner up at 103 and Williams qualified for state at 112. Stevens had his runner up finish stripped from him for violating this rule.
  23. I think Brownsburg is the best team this year. With that being said, if you lose a tournament you should drop in the rankings, regardless if there were kids missing. You go with what you have available and if you lose, you lose. No shame in not being ranked #1, as Brownsburg will likely be at or near the top when it matters.
  24. Lee just pinned #1 seed Alber from Northern Iowa. He has Gfeller from OK St. in the finals.
  25. Relax, man. Just giving you county guys a hard time. Like you said, all in fun.
