  1. Maybe my first post wasn't clear sorry. I mean from regional to semi-state. At regional the loser of the second round would wrestle for 3rd and 4th place. Since the new semi-state organization take both of them now the loser of the first round of regional is the semi-state alternate. I believe the state alternate is the semi-state wrestler who lost to the champion in the second round as you mentioned. This seems somewhat more of a viable option (though not perfect) than the regional alternate rule.
  2. I'm still waiting on them to figure out a better way to choose an alternate for semi-state. While it is not the biggest issue I feel it worth at least having the most competitive person fill that void in case of sickness, injury, or something else Currently the rule is whoever wrestled the regional champion first round which is almost always a 4th place finisher from a sectional. In reality he usually isn' the next best wrestler in the weight class not to advance considering several 2s and 3s get eliminated in round 1. Since they will never allow wrestle-back form round 1 just to help with finding an alternate I think its worth changing the order. The alternate should be the highest sectional finisher not to qualifier for semi-state. In the event two wrestlers have the same sectional placement then it will go to the one who came from the same sectional as the regional winner. Seems to me that would allow for a better semi-state alternate than the current format does.
  3. In a normal year we could say put in the 2nd place team, move on with the event, and end of story. However, as far as the team series goes this is not a normal year. With the team series on the chopping block anything that disrupts the events is a clear sign of why the IHSAA doesn't think we need it. Yes, in a regular year Eastern needs to do what is best for their team. But again this isn't a regular year and even they may not have realize this would shake things up for the future of team state. Other teams have wrestled dual meets giving up multiple FF for a variety of reason, so its not like it couldn't happen here with what member are left while explaining the situation by saying the rest are out hurt/sick. While it may be what helps this years squad the side effect is that is will more than likely take a chance away from future squads. I hope the wrestlers are able to work through any illness (it is a bad year for it) and injury and can continue to compete. However, I fear the even if Eastern could come back and compete in team Regionals the damage has already been done by letting Mr. Cox know that a team wasn't going to show up for any type of reason. Out of all the years of the event this one is the one that had to be near perfect for those that want to prove its worth hold on to team state.
  4. Ramos and Gambrell came up big for the Hawkeyes. And I'm sure they are glad Marion is back and able to battle with the top guys. Looking like you can't count the Howkeyes out of a top 5 finish at NCAA's just yet.
  5. Just when you think the hawkeyes are down and out for the year Brands found a way to motivate the team to a big win. A solid win for Ramos and Grambrall of Iowa. And I'm sure Iowa is very glad to have Marion back and already back in top form.
  6. When we held it in the past the plan was to try and hold it Thursday if weather prevented travel on Wednesday. If that isn't an option for certain locations I would guess the IHSAA would ask it be held early the following week over having it on Friday before individual regionals.
  7. What you have never heard of the ancient fighting style of BBJ (Bulgarian Belly Jiggling). ;D I see it all the time in the stands during the NFL playoffs.
  8. One of Maynards problems was getting promoters and or the state fighting board to sanction a his MMA fights that would involved striking. I believe one of his fights (maybe his only one) was allowed only after they modified the rules to the point of it ending up being limited to mostly BBJ and grappling moves. Still one heck of a determined individual that won't stop trying something just because people tell him he may not be able to do it.
  9. So if I'm reading this right based just off the the numbers team state would like this Roncalli Perry Meridian Penn Yorktown (if they can edge out Caroll/Bellmont) Mater Dei Crown Point Delphi (if they can edge out Huntington North/Logensport) Lawrence North
  10. maligned, Did you find some way to calculate the winner of this contest. It looks to me on face value Old171 wins based on picking 3 (Col. East, Eastern, and HSE) of the 5 upsets. Unless I skipped someone several others were able to pick 2 upsets in various orders.
  11. The rest of the tournament series breakdown looks like this: In regional you must win the first round match or you are eliminated. Then the rest of the matches are to determine the top 4 spots that will advance to semi-state. At Semi-state you must win the first two matches or you are eliminated. Then the rest of the matches are to determine the top 4 spots that will advance to state. At state you must win the first match or your are eliminated. The rest will wrestle to determine the top 8 place winners.
  12. I'm guessing he has not found out about Southridge sectional to make them. The IHSAA does not have those results up yet, but would assume they will have them posted relatively soon.
  13. I knew she had talent, but she has had a very impressive year thus far.
  14. I can't answer your questions, but I know last year the RC marked out the ranked wrestlers as they were eliminated each round of the tournament series.
  15. I would assume so though I have noticed a few deep weight classes do well in the tournament before. Every so often one sectional has got four wrestler in one weight class to semi-state (three under the old system). On a few occasions I have even see three wrestlers from the same sectional weight make state but not sure if four wrestlers from the same sectional have ever made it to state before.
  16. Well you at least had Franklin as next best team, East Central on your list and I'm guessing FW Snider just stepped it up big time cause not many saw that coming.
  17. No clue what you are talking about Boot it looks like a normal 1338 to me. ;D Actually, I probably broke the system and it was suppose to say TILT. I'm sure it's not Y2's doing or he would have came up with something much more interesting for me than leet.
  18. 1. Columbus East 2. Danville 3. Culver 4. HSE 5. Connersville
  19. Carrol of Yorktown beat L. Welch 1-0 in the finals of Mooresville. Carrol didn't consed an inch of room for Welch to capitalize on in that match. Sims lost to Lampe of KY at the MD Holiday Classic. His family was the one that got an Extreme Home Makeover including a practice room so they could work with other wrestlers at home.
  20. It would be a tough sell since he has already had interest from Penn State and Ohio State among other colleges.
  21. In the words of Clubber Lang (Mr. T) in Rocky III after being asked what his predictions were for the fight: PAIN!
  22. Since the tournament and actual brackets are through Jennings County your best best would be to have Coach Cooper contact them about correcting any errors before the programs are printed off.
  23. I would say most coaches do schedule most if not all sectional opponents at some point during the season. The issue that results in the later criteria having to be used usually comes from wrestlers moving weight classes, varsity and JV shuffling spots, injury/sickness during that dual meet, or the deaded round robin where you beat the guy, who beat a guy, who beat you. These issue you really can't help.
