Jimtown 138

138 pounder in 1979, 195 pounder in 2020...
 
That's almost a pound weight allowance per year...

Congratulations to Mater Dei on their finish at team state. People seem to forget MD is a 1A school competing in the 3A division. Keep on working CATS.

Tonight the Floyd Central Highlanders will be taking on the Bloomington South Panthers.  We will run a Facebook live from our Facebook page. 
 
Kevin Whitehead, the state announcer, will once again be calling the action!
 
It's a fun night of wrestling. 
JV starts @ 6:30
Varsity @ 7pm

Mishawaka was apparently down 13-35 with four wrestlers left. All four got pins. 
 
Edit: Video on @cavemensports’ twitter account shows the final match ended with the Penn kid pinning himself in a very... strange way.

Congrats to former Marion wrestling coach, Heath Duke, and former wrestler, Nate Duke!

MFD FIREFIGHTERS RESCUE DISABLED HOMEOWNER DURING HOUSE FIRE
 November 15, 2019  State and Local News 0 Comments Last night Marion firefighters rescued a disabled man from his bedroom while his house was on fire.
The Marion Fire Department was originally dispatched to 2213 S. Waite St. at 7:58 p.m. for a smoke investigation.
On arrival, they saw the residence filled with smoke. Flames were also bursting through the utility room area around the electric meter’s base, according to MFD Chief Geoff Williams.
While moving through the house, the first fire crew on the scene found 73-year-old George Smoot, whose disabled, in his bedroom and rescued him.
After Marion General Hospital paramedics assessed Smoot, and the home’s other occupant, 74-year-old Ollie Smoot, they were released to their family at the scene.
American Electric Power disconnected the residence’s powerline as crews worked to stop the blaze.
Williams said the cause of the fire was determined to be an electrical issue in the utility room ceiling and the home’s north wall above the electric meter.

I wrestled in the "Al Smith" freestyle tournament in around 1976... So there's been a tournament called the "Al Smith" for many moons...

Because a lot of times these kids have proven results nationally or in state where they have beaten some of the top returners. On top of that we have the greatest minds in the sport doing our rankings.

Congratulations to Riley Bettich from Crown Point for signing with Olivet. He is projected to wrestle 125.

My guess is the mayor has a few tricks up his sleeve and still dominates.

We are back Monday at 6 with Indiana Tech Coach and Jimtown Legend Collin Crume! Don’t miss out on what should be a night of great technique and live battles. We have been averaging 40+ on Monday’s and Wednesday’s so it should be a good group!

Phenomenal room last night!
4x AA Nick Crume was in rolling with just about everyone. Not only did we have him, but we had Kenny Kerrn - 2x State Finalist, Tyler Moser - SQ, Cody Koebel - SQ, among others.
30 kids in the Lions Den and 10 coaches willing to scrap!

anybody ever think he was just excited he scored on one of the greatest wrestlers of this era?  who cares if he did something silly... it's him out there getting hammered and competing not us so who are we to judge? 

Chase Wilkerson has signed with UIndy to continue his wrestling career. Chase is the first wrestler in over a decade to sign to wrestle in college from Mt. Vernon (Fortville). He ends his HS career as the schools all time wins leader at 143. 

You do all of this pointless wrestling to have a college take notice of you and bless you with a scholarship.

Clearly he was pinned because that's what is says on the official record of the match!!!

Well there it is... I would say the coach dropped the ball then.

You should have been around in the 70's when the weight cutting rituals were medieval...
