Our thoughts and prayers are with you all........

I gotta say that I am one who truly was questioning Johns injury by the way he seemed to be dodging Chad all season and to see it happen again at Semi State sort of reinforced it in my mind. What I witnessed at state was very very cool. John Sims...you have earned my respect young man. To go through state the way you did was impressive. Your match with Chad was also. You gave it all you had and left nothing on the mat. Keep your head up because in life, this will be a very small thing. What you did this season will help you later in life. Your work ethic will be good, the way you relate with people will be also. All by being a wrestler. Not a wrestler from MD , CHS or anywhere but just by wrestling. It puts something into a person that a lot of other sports dont. You will always be able to look back at your years of HS wrestling and pull from that. Not everyone can be a state champion and truly it is a lot of luck and the draw. What you are getting is college paid for with a sport that is demanding but that you like. You will then take what is ingrained in you from wrestling and that great college education you will get and you will great in life John. Use that college education and be the best person you can be...study hard and wrestle hard and be the person who doesnt live for the glory days of HS but for what the glory days of HS was able to do for you...when you are old like me and cant move like you used too...ha ha John Iam proud of you and I know the fans of CHS are too..Go get them at Cleveland State brother.....

Poly Blue et. al. Its going to be real eye opening for everyone later on tonight. Who cares who has beaten who. They both will be under the lights, facing each other the way we have all wanted all year. I personally have been looking forward to this all year.... Just the way it should be......man to man...in front of the entire wrestling community....for the right to be THE MAN @ 160...............

Hmmmmmmmmm not sure what this post is about....I don't recognize the opponent. For Chad.....haven't seen him wrestle this year to have an opinion

DITTO Mark

Yes.....MD boys have wrestled great. We will be rooting for several of them in INDY....not to mention next week.

Thx you just answered my post and question....Thx partner

NICE....kinda like a pitcher who has a hang nail and can't pitch. I guess you can't figure it out but why would he not TRY for a possible 1 or 2 seed? Curiouser. And curiouser ...hmmm now is going for 3 or 4. Why would any one in our most awesome and tough sport do that? I guess you probably would...but I have watched a lot of kids in the last 40 years tough it out and compete. ....btw...guess I have friends all over the gym....even over in the red and gold...they were chuckling also.... Dude did you ever wrestle? WOW....oh and way to get personal with the jack... comment...you.have such an expansive repitoire ...that's as personal as I get LOL

Cat baby keep your thread coming buddy...all good..

guess my sources were right but he was even ducking ri ckenbaugh also. I am sorry but this doesnt show anyone much and the crowd wasnt silent......they were laughing. ...all i. An say is that it will come back haunt him in semi state. He couldnt have been hurt because he breezed through his 1st match.....all he is doing is ducking to try and keep a decent seed.....SAD BUT ...........

Johns...dominated

Wedding v Welch...what a match....they are matched up well. Very strategic ...Welch and Van Hook in finals...will be awesome

Johns v Goebel......WOW ...Blake Johns is a BEAST

Word on the street is that at 60 if Sims meets Welch in the finals he is going to forfeit ....anybody hear any rumblings on this?
