Sam Riesen vs. Andy Oberlin

This topic moved me to make a needed website for our team history lol.

East Noble top 5 has to go
Taylor March 163-11 2/2/3/1
Garrett Pepple 136-7 X/2/2/1
Andy Uhl 145-10 Q/4/3/2
Connor Knapp 164-13 Q/4/3/4
Aidan Sprague 138-18 Q/6/6/5
 
Then it would have to be Nate and Jake Weimer who had remarkably similar careers.
Jake 126-36 X/Q/X/7
Nate 124-30 Q/8/x/Q

Having coached at a small school, and a medium sized school I think the following are possible advantages to the small school.
More one on one focus from coaching staff.
Better chance to be varsity for four years.
Better recognition for "smaller" accomplishments- one the wall for sectional champ at small school, state placer at bigger school.
I was able to have more coaches at the smaller school.
If all of the athletic programs are solid and on the same page, the athlete is in a great strength and conditioning program year round... this is generally the same at EN as almost all of our wrestlers are 2-3 sport athletes.  
 
On the team side our teams have generally been better at EN, but at Busco it was easier to get a random kid from the hallway to fill in if we needed a weight class filled than at EN. 
Winning team state is more attainable at a small school imo , where the competition is not as dependent on having a lot of state level kids, and more on just producing a squad of 14 solid wrestlers.

My Predictions no bias.... all East Noble kids win semi state

Anyone have the dates and locations for this years event?  I hope there are a couple of extra qualifiers this year.

Personally, I like the three wrestle-off method.
 
Wrestle-off #1a
First one is about this time of year where you establish the first pecking order. Only one "finals" match due to time constraints with events.
Wrestle-off #1b
Over Thanksgiving you have wrestlers challenge, you can only challenge up one rung of the ladder, but keep going if you win. This is where the #2 can challenge #1 for the second match. If #2 wins there will be a 3rd match to determine the #1.
If you do not have an event you can combine these steps
 
Wrestle-off #2
During Christmas break wrestlers can challenge, again only challenge one rung up, but can move up. The #2 needs to win 2 in a row to get the spot.
 
Wrestle-off #3(if needed)
About 2 weeks before sectional. Same as before, only challenge one rung up and the challenger needs to win 2 in a row.
 
I'm not a fan of wrestle-offs going on every week or even every other week. When you win your spot you should earn it for at least a couple weeks or events. Wrestle-offs shouldn't be the focus on practice either and taking time to do them takes away valuable learning, conditioning, and even coach's time do to them.
 

It shouldn’t just be high school. Let’s see what areas have in the pipeline. Maybe K-12 duals teams 50-HWT or Youth, Middle, and High School.

We do earlier than conference even--first weekend of January. Barring injury, kids should all have made their way to the weight they want by then and gives them the month of January to wrestle people at that weight for seeding criteria and such. Also ensures they have the 6 qualifying weigh ins on time and nobody is forcing me into last minute changes.
 
In my opinion, Kids should know by the first week after the allowance hits how their bodies feel and what weight they perform best at. Pushing it any later can cause friction in the line-up and doesn't allow any build up of seeding criteria at that weight. To be fair, I care a great deal more about the team aspect of the sport than some coaches, who see it truly as an individual sport only, which drives my decision making on this.

East Noble is sitting at 12.
 
Thought I would reach out to you all and let you know that we are still taking teams for our girls event next weekend (11/11).
We will have 4 mats going, hoping to get the girls 5-6 matches to start the year. Will be using madison block pairings.  We hope this is a good tune up start of the year tourney for the girls.  Last year we had 27 teams there. If you want in email me sriesen@eastnoble.net

If you cant tell I am bored today.  Anyhow I asked ChatGPT-   What are the top 10 all time best Indiana High School wrestling programs?   Its findings are below. ChatGPT Indiana's high school wrestling scene has been competitive for many years, with several schools building storied traditions. While the list of the "best" programs can be subjective and shift slightly based on individual champions, team titles, and recent successes, historically, some programs have consistently been dominant or recognized for their excellence. Here are ten such programs that have been considered among the best in Indiana high school wrestling history as of my last update in September 2021:
Evansville Mater Dei: With a storied tradition, this school has secured numerous state championships and has consistently produced individual state champions.
Indianapolis Cathedral: Historically strong with multiple state titles and individual champions, Cathedral has long been a staple in Indiana wrestling.
Perry Meridian (Indianapolis): Their wrestling legacy includes several state titles and a consistent showing at the top of state rankings.
Portage: A perennial power in Indiana wrestling, Portage has a long-standing tradition of success at the state level.
Crown Point: Regularly fielding strong teams, Crown Point has produced numerous individual champions and has often been a top contender at the state tournament.
Brownsburg: Rising to prominence in recent years, Brownsburg has secured state championships and has become a major force in Indiana wrestling.
Mishawaka Penn: Consistently competitive, Penn's wrestling program has earned respect and recognition over the years.
Indianapolis Warren Central: Known for their strong wrestling program, they've secured team titles and have been a regular presence at the state championship.
Avon: Historically, Avon has fielded competitive teams and has had strong showings in state tournaments.
Chesterton: Recognized for consistent performances, Chesterton's wrestling program has been a fixture in state tournaments.
Again, rankings and perceptions can change over time based on various factors, and other schools might emerge or re-emerge as powerhouses. To get the most recent and accurate assessment of Indiana's top high school wrestling programs, you might want to refer to the Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association or a similar dedicated state wrestling resource.
