Looks like the 120 weight class has more State Qualifiers (4), than the whole rest of the conference.

Disclaimer: I know nobody at Perry, including the Littell's.

Mr. Littell's post was very clear to me (but thank you Uncle for doing many on here a service). He appears to be a loving Dad, trying to keep his young son's love for wrestling strong. It seems to me he has been very fair and even handed with his explanation of the situation. For those who don't feel comfortable with the "drama" or sensitive nature of all of this, that's understandable. However, it should be understood Mr. Littell responded with details only after his son was being talked about and (I'm guessing here) to avoid any speculation in the future, when his son was no longer wrestling 113 for PM. Sometimes pre-emptive full disclosure is preferable to rampant speculation. He took a chance by putting his information out there. I respect that. I sure hope people realize he has said many times, that he "wasn't in the room." He's been careful to be fair, but also to do what he thinks is best for his son. His boy is young thankfully, so hopefully this is a small blip on his wrestling career.

FC...170: I'm glad I made you laugh. You probably needed it. And I agree with your last statement...Humility > Pride.

Point of clarification: I wasn't talking smack. I think folks keeping track of total wins is not a good approach to ultimate success in an individual sport. I also don't believe keeping track of one's own points in a team sport is a wise thing to do. Just my opinion, which I have a right to express. And of course you can blast me for it. You do a lot more expressing yours on this board, than I do obviously.

You are right it is. Continued success to Austin. Stay focused. Keep getting better and I look forward to seeing you do well in February.

Yep, you're right OTR. "Lots" is relative and subjective. I am guessing if every person who knows a current wrestler with 100 wins, were to post such, it would be a very long thread. I think the two mentioned in this thread are underclassmen and are not State Qualifiers, so logic would say...many (lots) of seniors, who have advanced to state, are likely in the 100 Club. I suspect many of the "elite" wrestlers in Indiana don't even know exactly how many wins they have. That's why the entire thread made me laugh. Imo, Good coaches, parents and athletes don't have any idea what their (or their kids) career records are, especially midseason.

This thread makes me laugh. Congrats on the wins guys. Lots of wrestlers have 100+ wins. Most don't post about it.

Thanks for the chuckle Y2.  Just envisioning an unhinged parent deleting all their kids'/teams losses.   

Why wasn't Streck in the Wrestle-offs?

Another great job on the Magazine Joe.  Kudos to you and your staff!  You do a great service for the sport.  Thank you!

# 49 recruit nationally Anthony Falbo.  Third Top 100 commit for the Boilers in class of '17.  This year's incoming class ('16) was ranked #6 in the country.  Looks like the program is on the rise big time.  Does this mean Berge and Warner are not going to Purdue? 

6 qualifying weigh-ins? How many times does a wrestler need to weigh-in at a specific weight, to be eligible to wrestle that weight in sectional?

Very classy Coach Snyder. Nice post about your former rival.

Nice job Kingsmen. Looks like Harper did it without some of his big names too.

I see New Castle has a nice thread going with projected top 4 in each weight class. Any thoughts on which weight classes will have the most depth in the region? Any great newcomers, move-ins, transfers, freshmen?

Is Jimtown still having their RTC?

Great instruction from Coach Harper at Penn tonight!   40+ hardworking guys in the room.

What happened to Murphy?

No. You may not root for "one" of the kids on your team...you must root for all the kids on your team. What do you think this is!? A free country? Lol.

Thanks for the clarification Scholar. 

The article states only three from the Merrillville SS advance to State.  Is that a mistake or has something changed?

Thank you for the info 03.

I understand it is 4 vs 1 and 3 vs 2, when four regionals go into a ss. I don't understand how it is determined which Regionals 4 meets which Regionals 1? Does it alternate from year to year and is it the same in every weight class? Is it possible to look at a SS bracket from last year and know what this years will look like? Also, if Regional A's 1 is paired against Regional B's 4 at 106, will it be the same in every weight class? Thank you.

Wow! I don't know him and have no connection to him, but that's too bad. Sad when a kid with lots of potential gets injured or whatever, and can't finish the great season he was having.

What happened to Fattore at 138? He's been number 1, but now I don't see him anywhere.
