    Trent McCormick is one of the best guys in the sport and Troy Delaney is a top notch teacher. Nobody works harder for their program than Troy. Love em' or hate em', you have to respect what they're doing up there. Props guys...

    There are 3 sessions. 1 friday and 2 saturday. It's $8/session or $20 all sessions pass.

    Thanks Chuck! That was a great explanation. Do you think the requirements should be more stringent? What if we could influence the IHSAA to pay more for the tournament series?
  4. The Guru
    What about upping the referee requirements? Continuing education, clinics etc? We have some great officials and a lot of bad ones. There seems to be very little in between. Anybody know what the minimum requirements are?
  5. The Guru
    Yeah that's a biggie for most of us.

    What would you change about high school wrestling?

    Tommy Cash isn't going to just make it there next year. He will likely be on the podium.

    Man that Walmart on east Washington street in Indianapolis HAS TO BE high on the list. Walmart down in Camby is always interesting, you get all the Mars Hill people there. There is also a Walmart "Neighborhood Market" on east 38th in Indy. Anyone from Indy will recognize that 38th street is to be avoided, regardless of time of day, from one side of Marion county to the other.

    I always wear nice slacks, dress shoes and a school polo. I don't think the coaches dress issue is that big a part of the problem, but it certainly adds to the overall negative perception that those unfamiliar with the sport may have. Couple the jeans issue with some of our jacka$$ fans screaming at kids, running out on the mats, cussing at officials, leaving their trash everywhere, their crazy kids plugging all the toilets and sinks with paper towels etc... and I see how folks could dismiss us and our sports as a bunch of jacks. I wish AD's were more interested in the image being presented by their coaches, and less interested in what percentages of secondary and accent school colors were being used on the uniforms.

    You're going to get more "Boo's" from writing this Whinning post than you ever did speaking your mind.

    Classy way to represent yourself and other IHSAA officials.

    Adidas - Mat Wizard II

    He reached over and touched on an illegal headlock. It was called a little quickly but that's what he probably called.

    Get well soon Dave. Hang in there and keep your spirits up! The New Palestine wrestling family is pulling for you!

    Yeah it was Paul Sullivan. Sully beat Ellis the summer before their senior year at freestyle State and it went to the wire that year at the Super 8.

    Wrestling is the third largest high school sport in the country (neck and neck with girls basketball) in terms of participation numbers. For the most part, kids play video games. Kids wrestle. I think it could make money. It would probably be difficult to capture the intricacies of the sport though, which may lead wrestlers to think the game sucks.
  19. The Guru
    Crane technique. If done correctly, no stop.
  20. The Guru
    Greenfield is solid. They came in and whooped everybody.
  21. The Guru
    Official redshirt. I think it's a perfect time for him to redshirt. Stupid ass Zalesky should have redshirted Alex Tsirtsis at this point too.
  22. The Guru
    What difference does having "a big A$$ target on your back" have to do with anything? If you're trying to fly under the radar it won't last long. And the best kids are going to wrestle you tough regardless of whether you're ranked, lauded, touted or your lineup is known to the community.

    New Pal beat New Castle 45-36

    I'm not naive about the way the world works, but I just can't get over the a-hole attitude of supporting/promoting youth athletics solely for profit. It just doesn't sit well with me. These kids, and the opportunities for them to succeed in youth athletics, should not be a for profit business for bureacratic jerkoffs to make a living from.
