Thank you. I appreciate it. When checking the Ihsaa board I got a 404 code couldn’t find page. Checked trackwrestling.  All it says TBA. Confusing 

We just got the wrestling schedule and it has the Evansville regional and semi state at Jasper?  Is this a typo?

And then I checked on semi state rankings and it has the regional in Evansville at  Central high school?  
 

Does anyone know or have a link to the regional and semi state locations for this years state series?  I’m looking and finding different locations for the same events. 

Lommock was at 145 at the Mooresville tourney.

Semi-state and state both should be seeded.

Luke Robards is 152.  Robards with a first period pin over New Albany SSQ.  In the Memorial invite 12/11/21. Also beat Leech in Frosh-Soph. State 10-2 in the finals. 14-0 on the year.

A great day of wrestling! A lot of fun matches that were very entertaining! Hayhurst/Newman and also the Fulks/Madden and the Anderson/Ramsey match, to name a few. It's unbelievable that this event was even able to take place with the current pandemic. A special thanks to everyone that worked their butts off to make this a reality behind the scenes.  Form the Kemper family congratulations to the many wrestlers heading to Jasper. 

Luke tore his ACL December 29th at Martinsville. Will have surgery next Wednesday. But he's only 15, so no urgency.  He's got a great attitude and is already focused on a recovery!

Wednesday November 25th at Central High School in Evansville Indiana we now have an open spot.  Teams that will be at the tournament are

Evansville Central

Jasper

Bosse

Looking to add a 4th team to make it a triple dual.  Anyone interested please contact me Jason Kemper at Kmperclan@yahoo.com.  Weigh in will be at 8:00am CST.

Once again I agree with what you are saying. The true second is a different animal. And being under the lights going for the tile of State Champion is the goal. But in several occasions. Nick Lee vs Micic comes to mind. Being on the same side of the bracket and losing to Micic do you think Lee would've wanted the opportunity to be State runner up or was satisfied with 3rd? Idk I'm looking at getting the best kids into their proper placement.

But I think the point is if you are seeding and have full wrestle backs what is the need for a true second? The only time you normally see true seconds is if only the top 2 qualify for something. I agree that wrestlebacks and seeds would be great improvements but true seconds are not needed.

True. Just like our middle school state has true seconds. Not every weight class would use the true second match. But for those that fall between the cracks it is a catch all. Then we have the top performers and the athletes performance is the goal not an awe factor of upsets and kids going home from a bad draw. IMO

I'm wondering why true seconds are needed if you seed the wrestlers.  Is it obscene that the NCAA's and Olympics don't have a true second?

Also the NCAA tournament is not a one and done like our state tournament or the ticket round without wrestlebacks in semi-state. Every year the best of our state is not all on the podium.

Because even though seeding is a huge improvement it's not perfect. And every wrestler competing should have the opportunity for the highest placement. 

Agreed. Indiana definitely puts the entertainment value before the athletes potential. I have no problem with the regional format except the fact of no wrestle backs.  The semi-state and state should be seeded with wrestlebacks and true seconds for the State finals. Anything less is an obscenity to many wrestlers that have put in the time and blood sweat and tears to the sport

It's not about the complaints. It's about getting the best 4 kids from each semi- state. Period. 

Entire topic is a moot point if the semi-sttate had wrestlbacks. The entire philosophy of why we love wrestling so much is because in this sport bias is put to rest. With a 6 minute match every wrestler has an opportunity to earn their spot on the roster and then compete to qualify for the next level of competition.  Unfortunately here in Indiana the spectator is held above the sport. IMO  the top 4 should be representatives of their schools and families by their earned accomplishments in the tournament,  not on a formulation and a possible bad draw. 

Indiana wins team division! Still don't know scores or individual stats. Got some pretty wicked Gladiator helmets.

As of right now the Outlaws are 5-0 with 2 matches left today. If anyone is there could you send some team and individual results?

Is this all high school or is middle school there also?

Do the Indiana teams wrestle both of the Illinois teams or is it just one dual.

Any idea on the rosters?

True second is pointless and a non factor if the kids are properly seeded. The committee that is the IHSAA needs to be wise and listen to counsel. Counsel being the guys that have an unbelievable amount of results and experience to list the rankings.

Kemper by fall

Dunn by major

Whitaker by major

Mappes was outclassed but still battled 13-6 loss to Forte. Great job guys!

All of southwest indiana are closed.

That is the worst explanation. So now they are admitting to having 2 sets of brackets in front of them looking and making a concerted effort on which one to use. Look! Good luck to all of the elite wrestlers that have advanced. You are the best of a very special group of athletes. I hate politics. (In a garfield the cat voice)
