Let's be real. If these two don't meet under the lights, the only reason will be because it happens in the semi-finals. There are other very good 132's, but Lee and Red are head and shoulders above them.
Lee's back up is very solid. Obviously, nobody expects him to go undefeated and win state like Nick would have. He is very likely a semi-state caliber wrestler, maybe even state caliber. Wrestling with Joe Lee every day will make him better and he won't see anybody on that level during the season.
This is what I found from 97-08 after a quick google search. As you can see, it is noted that in 1998 (first year of class basketball) attendance dropped 352,000.
2008 427,974 2007 456,960 2006 474,881 2005 497,266 2004 475,023 2003 474,088 2002 438,430 2001 457,010 2000 387,710 1999 429,140 1998 434,752(first year multi-class -352,728 fans in one year)
Either way, it might be a stretch to say that Humphrey would have won state at 103 that year. If memory serves, he got majored by Angel on Friday night that year.
I'm far from mad. I honestly could not care less about preseason rankings. It was a simple question that I felt was answered in typical fashion on this board. That's all.
You're right, if MD is better they will win. Should be a fun dual either way.
it's how you say it, not what you say.
Please show me where I said it was a travesty that WC was ranked higher the MD? In fact, I said WC is going to be a very good team that will contend for the state title. I was simply curious if anybody had any reasoning for them being ranked 25 with 0 nationally ranked wrestlers.
You are the one that came on and acted like an ass. So be it. That's your M.O. I get it and have seen you do it many times in the past.
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the snide comments, Y2. Typical. I see you that you failed to make such a comment when a previous poster mentioned that WC has 3-4 other ticket round returnees. I guess those guys haven't done anything in state either. I ask a simple question about why WC is ranked 17 spots ahead of MD and get smart ass comments back from the guy that runs the board. Like I said, typical of you.
If you read my previous post, you would see that I said "In the big picture it doesn't mean anything."
Make no mistake, I think WC will be a very good team that will likely contend for the title. Just not seeing the justification for being ranked #25 in the country at this point.
MD did lose a lot in the upper weights, but they typically reload. last year's 106 lost to Mills from Brownsburg 2-0 in the ticket round at SS, Orth who was out injured last year was a SSQ as a soph, he should be back this season. Mitch Lehman was a SSQ as a frosh is still around, hopefully he finds the right weight class this season. Wilderman is a SSQ at 220. Just saying the cupboard isn't bare at MD.
OK. Missed the 285 and the transfers and wasn't aware that the 106 qualified but did not wrestle. But still, how does that justify the #25 ranking and being 17 spots higher in the rankings than MD? In the big picture it doesn't mean anything, just curious as to what the justification is.
Nice representation of Indiana wrestlers. We also have 2 teams in the top 50. EMD and Warren Central. Can somebody please shed some light on why Warren is ranked #25 and MD is #42? WC has 0 ranked wrestlers, MD has 2. WC has 4 returning state qualifiers, with 2 returning place winners. MD has 5 returning place winners, including one champ.
