In case you missed it on X or the college thread: Christian Mejia from Elkhart Memorial, Derek Blubaugh from Bloomington South, and Shawn Streck from Merrillville all picked up D2 national titles last night.
 
Mejia had finished 5th twice before, was seeded only 3rd, and was in his final year of eligibility. 
 
Blubaugh had twice been national runner-up to his finals opponent, and had lost to him 5-0 two weeks ago, but finally got over the hump.
 
Streck picked up his second consecutive title. 
 
Congrats, guys!!
 
 

You can see it in the schools as well, parents coming in a cussing out teachers and principals right in front of the student.  Parents are not trying to be parents anymore, in my opinion, but they rather be best friends with their kids.

Metcalf is a bomb waiting to go off...... That is exactly what I thought about Brands too, so not exactly a longshot IF Iowa wanted a change. My money stays with Brands for now.

Wrestle backs you say? What an interesting idea. 
 
Please tell me, have any other states implemented these "wrestle backs" , or would Indiana be the first?

I never realized my first post on Indianamat would cause such a stir!
 

@Zach Richards said….. hear me out….  😂 
 
like we haven’t done this 1,000 times!!! 😂 

TeamGarcia don’t always have a dead horses posts but when TeamGarcia does post about them dead horses it’s usually SPECTACULAR CLASSICS Post . 
 
Carry on Indianamat …. 
 
It’s a 

 From this guy and @Ahawkeye . 

I think you all need to cut Zach Richards some slack.  He apparently has never posted in IndianaMat before and probably was not aware of the hornet’s nest he was disturbing.  Well, I guess he knows now.
😀
 
Unless of course he is just a troll who took out a new account just to stir the pot.  🤔

Rebranding!!!!! Briliiiant.  Class wrestling sucks.  But "Division Wrestling", thats good.

It's different this time...this isn't about class wrestling...it's about divisions.

@Ahawkeye & I giving the Peoples Elbows to this dead horse . Take that dead horse and its posts .

Easton was usually 1-2 lbs.  under Thursday-Friday.  Eating 3 times a day through the week.  Pick a weight, like you said Nick, that you can concentrate on getting better at wrestling and not loosing weight.  Made the most difference in Easton's success this year.  It does take some discipline on both the wrestlers and parents, but meal prepping was also a huge part of it.  We would cook all his meat (chicken, hamburger, steak, pork chops) on Sunday or Monday for the week and he would pack it for his lunches and take to school.
So many little things go into being successful and these are just a few.  It takes time also, this has been something me as a father, his mother and Easton have been trying to dial in for a few years now.  

@TeamGarcia of course!! Go back and look at the activity and post on the youth forum back when Asa and his crew were making the youth rounds. Dude was moving the needle!!! 
 
With that said!!!!!…. Youth forum has became a ghost town. 
 
Garcia get back on there and get this next generation going. Joe needs those thousands of views and post… Dig deep and make up something more annoying … errrr … awesome then #TheCounty.

What about Happy Pants?

Fire good!

EMD- High school only it would be Blake Maurer. But all around it is definitely Nick Lee

Blake Maurer his senior year, DJ Radnovich his senior year, Matt Coughlin his senior year.  I realize it wasn't during the HS season but Coughlin beat Tsirtsis during summer wrestling, also beat a guy out of Florida named Cozart who was ranked pretty high nationally as well (whipped his butt!) So the story goes Coughlin and a few MD guys were at a camp with Coach Randy Helfrich. Cozart starts wrestling one of the MD guys and is handling him pretty good. Cozart starts running his mouth about how MD sucks blah blah blah. Randy turns to Matt and says go kick his "butt" Cozart had no clue who Matt was and said I'll bet you $200 I'll beat you. Matt says "$200? You're on" the style chosen was freestyle, Matt went to work on the guy and THREW him to his back, right before the pin was called Matt pulled him up (illegal in freestyle) and commenced the butt kicking..... NO MERCY. It took the rest of the week but the kid paid up.
