Tsirtsis is a two time Flonational Champion with a 4-2 win in the final.

Congrats Chad Red Jr- National Champ, earns Dominator Belt
MattM replied to bellrs's topic in Youth Archives
Reds finals match is at the 5:00 mark in the video. He's at 77lb as I believe a 7th grader. So he still in line to be around 103 by his freshman year. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13752703 -
Forte's finals match is at the 1:01.00 mark. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13726298

Boston wins semi-finals I believe with a 4-0 win (maybe 5 with riding time) Brooks lost in semi-finals 6-4 I read from someone that Tsirtsis won semi's no clue on score. Boston lost in the finals but not sure on score yet. Finals are live now but they are going in random order so 135 will be last. No clue on where everyone else placed though.

A very nice rematch win over Gomez from Illinois on his way to accomplishing this too. -
Hall (Apply Valley, MN) is in the semi-finals so apparently they did allow him to wrestle after all. Not sure if the issue of a middle school wrestle being entered will be something the event coordinators will want to revisit in the future or not.
-
Any info on why Sliga didn't make an return appearance. Nursing injury, needing some time off, etc...... He won in the Cadet division last year on way to completing the National Triple Crown.
-
Sounds like we are having a very solid showing despite the low numbers in attendance from IN. Great job guys against some of the top seniors in the country.
-
Any info on why Roach didn't make an return appearance at FloNatioanls? Nursing injury, needing some time off, etc...... He won the event last year.
-
Too many choices between Senior Nationals (and their age group events), FloNoationals, and USA Folkstyle Nationals all going this weekend. Which means even the talent that wants to compete is being spread out between the three events.
-
Bailey was first pick for Junior do Santos's team and also was choosen to fight first against Lesners last pick.
-
Thanks. Follow up question would be since they had obviously made specific plans reguarding his middle school career does the family have plans for what they would like to do in high school. i.e. stay at Apple Valley, attend a local Indiana school, attend a prep school someplace in the nation? Just curious if Indiana will get to see him in action during his high school career.
-
I'd want more than 6 months to get close to that weight the right way, get used to fighting at that size, and gameplan for that battle. But if 6 months is enough so be it.
-
Since no one has clarified this yet I guess I'll ask. Is he living with relatives or something while attending school there and then living in Indiana during the summer break? Or did the family permanently move from Indiana to Minnesota and his name is being brought up as a former Indiana wrestler?
-
This is a decent over all card in terms of fighting style matchups. Should be intersting to see what Shields can do against someone the caliber of GSP. Shields has pulled off several decision victories lately (though is debut vs Kampman could have been better) so if GPS game plans to stay cautions, avoid the BBJ, and assumes he will go the distance Shields may end up fairing better than some expect.

This is true, but hopefully that will not always be the case since these facilities do help wrestlers in the off season continue with their development. I'd be more than happy to see a few of the big time training academies set up shop within a close drive from our program. The more oppertunities to fit a wrestlers committment level and lifestlye the better. My point was more along the line that while these training facilities will help to some degree but they are not always the only means to the end result. Videos, camps, RTCs, open-mats, pre-season, USA wrestling meets, a home mat and/or gym, a committed coach with a solid knowledge base, a committed training partner, and just plain inovation to find ways to work out or improve your skills without standard equiptment are all going to play a factor too. Just to many variables to pin point it all on leaving a rural town for larger area being the entire reason for a persons achievments in the sport. I would say the kid had the drive to be better and saught out those oppertunities like the adacemy rather than the academy being the thing that instilled that mentality into him. Wrestlers that want to succeed at a higher level will take advantage of whatever oppertinities they can from the situtions they are given reguardless of background, wrestling program situation, or other issue in their way. If joining an wrestling academy (like Howe) or moving to one of the states top wrestling schools (like Jenkins in VA) are the only way to get that good then there is no point in striving to be a state finalist or attempting to wrestling at the college level unless you do not have access to one.
-
Guess we need to stop talking about this class wrestling stuff by school size then and have it by those that have access to top level training facilities and those that come from typical rural Indiana who don't know how to find such things. I'm sure college coaches would like this so they will be sure to watch the ones that will do well in college. When are we going to figure out there is not a perfect formula for creating sucess in wrestling and not everyone finds their nitch at the same time along the way. *insert sarcastic face here*
-
.....the status of Jamal Lawrence possibly being allowed back on the team or transfering to the list too?
-
I just checked over the list and you are correct that seems to be the same Mark Hall. Not sure if they will let that one slip by or not since anyone can register. 130 has several very tough IN kids in it now.
-
Looks as if a few Indiana senior bucked at the traditional route of attending NWCA Senior Nationals to attend FloNational instead. We will see if this becomes a trend in the future as Senior Nationals has previously held the crown of being the premier event for talented Seniors to try and get more name recognition in the past. FloNationals though has been gaining steam fast in only its second year as the toughest all inclusive end of the year event. Registered Indiana names thus far Nathan Boston Freshman 103 Lawerence North high school zach krumlauf Freshman 103 dekalb Hayden Lee Freshman 103 Garrett High School jarred brooks Junior 112 warsaw high school Luke Schroeder Senior 112 Southwestern Jefferson Cty Brenden Campbell Junior 119 New Castle Evan Loe Freshman 119 Peru High School Austun McCray Sophomore 125 Garrett Trevor Moody Junior 125 F.J.

I thought you had to be a Freshman-Senior to compete at FloNationals? Guess I was mistake or they found a way to adjust the rules for someone like Hall.

Thanks for the post as I did not know the Republic had ran it yet.

Matside Pairings Are Not What HYWAY Or ISWA Is Doing
MattM replied to IntegratedCarp's topic in Past Discussions
This system has been used in all the events I have attended the last two year that said they would use matside pairings. The other events I have been to still used the only system with a pairings room/table and never claimed it was matside pairings. -
