  1. All I know is every coaches meeting I have attended this year the head official stressed that the IHSAA wanted to specifically emphasize respect and sportsmanship this season. The head official almost always followed that up with a notice that the referees would be vigilant of any "out of characteristic" behaviors during or at the conclusion of a match. At some events, the referees even gave examples such as excessive celebrations or and taunting being among the situations the IHSAA was concerned about cracking down on. Then the officials pointed out that coaches needed to make sure their wrestlers were aware that any Unsportsman-like Conduct Penalty would carry over with the wrestlers through the entire course of that event. With two ULC or one Flagrant Misconduct resulting in that wrestler being eliminated from the competition and in this case the entire tournament series. I'm assuming a very similar speech was provided at all of the state's tournament series sites across the state. While emotions do occasionally run high with teenagers in this sport and I hate to see anyone eliminated from the State series over one quick decision, I'm not sure any coach or wrestler can honestly say the warning wasn't very clear all season on what could potentially happen to the wrestler if things got out of hand on the mat.
  2. Evansville’s Signature School across the street could have their fundraiser for the entire year complete by offering that service over next weekend.
  3. 5-1 Henderson at the point of the call. 5-2 when Med FF occured.
  4. It’s rare but happens on occasion. I know the Davison brothers have faced off before when one was at Michigan and the other Northwestern. Here is a recent thread on some other matchups that have occurred. https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/3612-brothers-wrestling-each-other/#comment-117185
  5. An entire day of Curtain Jerking at the Ford Center isn’t great on your hands.
  6. Sounds like you really should have work on your calendar planning on that one.
  7. @TripleB has always been in charge of the curtain jerking.
  8. I think you could have made it.
  9. Due to the time difference EVANSVILLE
  10. I mean Switzerland County Vevey, IN isn't a big place to visit, but if you want to make the trip I'm sure they have someplace interesting to eat at. Switzerland (County) hasn't been doing too bad lately for a small school. Several dedicated youth kids now filtering through the HS system. Their relative location is close to Cincinnati and near the decent side of Kentucky Wrestling maybe providing them some off-season training options as well.
  11. In a similar line of thinking I’ve said for awhile when an alternate is needed the rest of the wrestlers from that group should get to choose if they want to move up or remain in their original spot. One reason being what you pointed out above. The other being that with the SS and state draws having an obvious affect on who you face sometimes moving up to fill the void would puts you in a worse position (sadly) than were you were oroginally placed.
  12. I just don’t seem to recall. I guess the only logical thing would be to have to just have him comeback to announce state and hear it for ourselves.
  13. In my view it’s not exactly the same when comparing score judged or clock timed sports with that of athlete vs athlete ones. Tennis and wrestling are unique when compared to the other individual sports and due to the bracketing dynamic more similar to the set up of the other team sports. Tennis just happens to allow far fewer competitors per team to compete compared to 14 weights in wrestling which gives them more wiggle room on state series rounds. In most individual sports you win or place high you move on but certain cut times or cut scores are also used to fill the additional advancement spots. You can have a large field of teams and athletes in that dynamic. Not to turn this into a seeding or wrestleback thread but the advancement is different compared to a bracketed athlete vs athlete competition. You can only fit so many athletes and teams into a day when you are at the mercy of athlete vs athlete competition. So yes most individual sports can skip a level and save time since more can be packed into a shorter time frame due to how many can compete at a time and or how many actual rounds you need to have. Tennis and wrestling are the two individual sports that just don’t have as much of that luxury, nor do the team sports. We can also say other states do it for wrestling but when they cut the field in thirds or fourths or more by classing it you have a lot fewer competitors to fit in each round of the state series. So yes they could likely skip the added round. I do think Regionals a a little short of a state series round, but I assume it there to help balance or somewhat clean up the two sectionals results before the top 4 are placed into the bigger grind of semi-state.
  14. It's never really been a good thing for his gas tank. Against these top guys he has got to find a way to control the pace of the match until he finds an opening to explode for a few points. In the matches where they have keep the pace up, even when he has an early lead, it tends to not turn out great for him in the last period.
  15. To lazy to add up Round 2 but at a glance it looks like Evansville has a lead on that one too.
  16. Evansville eating its own again. Twice the number of 1st round ranked matches as any of the other semi-states.
  17. Click the PDF. Y2 got some early insider info it seems
  18. Several talented teams that are spread out in different semi-states. Can’t go wrong with that pick.
  19. https://x.com/IndianaWR/status/1754218098012361157?s=20
  20. True, although they may need to shift a couple decent teams to replace them at their current Sectional. Odds are several of the Sectionals in that area need to be shifted around to more accurately keep each competitive and within a useful distance. For the short term though you could move couple decent Bloomington or Jennings Sectional teams (currently largest in the state) that are logistically close to Southridge Sectional boarders to keep the competitive balance if Floyd and New Albany were moved back.
  21. Does Crull’s record also include her female matches? If not that’s a pretty high number of matches she’s already at on just the boys side. Then if add in her girls results to the number she’s gotta be past 50 already.
  22. Angel and company definitely seems to have a little better intermission pep talk ability than we used to see at the end of the Goldman era. Hoosiers have seemed to muster up a little grit to keep fighting the last few years even when they have been behind early.
  23. Even hosting a major pro basketball game in a historic round ball state like Indiana they somehow sneak in an Indy500 Car. I’m perplexed. Figured something like the old barn basketball hoop for the background would have be more fitting for the occasion.
  24. Likely their thought is since this isn’t something big like basketball or football we can just get around to it when we get back in the office on Monday.
