Round 1 was even. However, I can see some big spacing in the numbers happening after round 2 is complete.
-
I think I missed around 20 for round 1. Had a few weights without a miss but had a few wieghts with 3 and I think one with 4 misses. Whoever said to always go with the MV-SS may owe me a few picks. Just kidding ;D. No wonder I never take the time to do this contest it a lot of effort and you still guess wrong. At least most of the misses were for lower placeing kids so maybe that will help in the long run.

I've brought one in several years in a row in my backpack. They have seen it as they go through my bag but never have said anything. However, I've been in the suite and they may just let people their bring a little more in since that area has more rooms than general seating does. We will be right underneath the new super suite area they have so if they have wi-fi in just that area the other coach I am with will be able to pick it up tonight (I'm not hauling my computer in for once).
-
If I recall correctly they do. However, most of it was password protected for Conseco use or for media use I'm guessing. I think they may have one open wi-fi spot in the dinning area or the new mega luxury box but it a weak signal from about anyplace but that location. Who knows things may have changed though.

The original Moorseville Holiday list only State Qualifiers. While Zach had an exceptional season he only made it to Semi-State this year.

Quote from: allaroundfan165 on February 16, 2010, 12:39:19 PM I totally agree our wrestlers should be more prepared for mat wrestling at the college level. However, this is going to be from them realizing they need to work on improving on the mat not by adding riding time. Riding time will only award you 1 point for an entire match worth of work. The takedown andcut approach will award you tons of points during the same amount of time. Even if you add riding time most takedown artists are not going to all of a sudden start riding and trying to turn more. They will still realize taking down and cutting is a much faster way to rack up points and show off some fancy moves too. However, they will not realize all the mat time they wasted by using this strategy without first attempting some down position moves. Until the college bound high school kids realize its not a "takedown clinic" show for the crowd and actually want to start working on improving from all positions he's never going to be as prepared as he could have been for college wrestling. Metcalf was pointed out as an example earlier in the thread and I can use him here. He does do a lot of takedowns but also will put in some hardcore top work during the match and has made sure he can escape with ease. Since they will never make cutting someone illegal the only thing that can help these kids prepare for the next level is to realize they are going to have to put in time and work from all positions not just be the best takedown artist in the area.

Smart of you to take down the original webpage that had tons of dates and information. Though it makes my research on other matter not connected with the contest a little harder.
-
I'm guessing with Castle and Yorktown leading the way Mooresville had several.

Here info on the best resource for Indiana Wrestling History. I'll plug the book for you TAE http://indianamat.com/messageboard/index.php/topic,9882.0.html

Been brought up a few times. Here a link that should help. http://indianamat.com/messageboard/index.php/topic,9717.msg75587.html#msg75587

I'm slightly taking MV getting the under. I have it at a MV and NC battle for many of the top 2 positions. Though EV gets some guys in the finals and FW getting some high placers.
-
Coming from the guy with J Jaggars picture for an avitar. I believe he's found his way through a few college matches with some selective wrestling. ;D Some very slick cradles though.
-
Sounds like Charlie and Barneys Restaraunt isn't the best pick for this weekends unless you like stuff really well done. Some type of underground transformer explosion leading to a big fire.
-
Looks to me that Doug that the slightly easier road to climb than his "look alike" does this weekend. Sure Doug is going to have to be on point but from the looks of it Chads definitely going to have to bring his A game.

Indiana-Illinois All-Star Duals (17th year)
MattM replied to Coach McCormick's topic in Past Discussions
I believe they have regulations against underclassmen competeing in these type of event under the IHSAA or maybe even NFHS banners. Something organized through USA Wrestling is a different story though I think theywould have to have an open contest to find the competators of that meet not just take the IHSAA results. -
Bloomington High School was the premire wrestling team during Indiana's wrestling infancy. They later split into North and South which have continued to produce decent wrestlers with some winning or placing in state. Recently, Bloomington South in the Decker Era has had a few waves of really good teams come through the room.

DD, Lets hope its a little more of a contest than the "Lesner vs Mir" hyped fight ended up being.
-
I was waiting for this post after looking at your site a week or two ago. For clarification purposes will this be a companion edition to the first book with all new information? Or it is version 2.0 of the first book with new information added in?
-
I'm sure some are hoping they get 10 with the rare amounts of quality workout time some are are getting this week. I hope most can just make weight with the 2 they "may" end up getting. It always sucks when someone goes out for an issue other than on the mat.

It would be nice to keep a running Coaches Trophy top ten posted at the end of each round on the central TV. I think it would add a little more to the days activities even if it thoses scores are not officially counted towards the Team Championships. I think it would aslo be nice to have up on the central TV a scrolling list of the kids who have won throughout the day so fans can keep up with who is advancing. They would just need to update the list as the day goes on. For a super fan friendly idea I always thought it would be nice to post the name of the kids wrestling in each match and the colors (red/green) they are for easier identification. Not a running score but just an identification, but to me that would still be a good amount of work to keep up with compared to the other two suggestions.

I think its part of that VooDoo Economics stuff I head about from Ben Stein. Or maybe the Fuzzy Math that Bush and Gore keep talking about so much. It's all about how you work the numbers anyway. You could also say 103 has the least competition thus increasing their wins to losses. You could also say 215 has the most competition increasing their losses to wins. You could also point out that maybe the top 103 wrestlers are spaced so far appart in the state that they never face each other. You could say the opposite about most 215 pounders. Again its all in how you want to uses the numbers to say what you want. Y2 usually teachers and extensive class on this at some point during the summer. ;D

A. Nike may not have been the downfall of Oregon wrestling but Phil Knight through the funding to Oregon's sports programs sure has heck didn't do much to help with keeping it. But as mentioned they sure as heck have tons of football uniforms these days. B. I don't see someplace as far away as Texas joining the Big 10. I figure they will get a school more in central or the eastern US. However, if they did I would imagine they would think about adding wrestling with the state high school wrestling developing so fast.

Since I've been on two straight "snow days" I actually had enough time (boredom) to complete the massive 1st-8th pick'ems list for once. Really makes you notice two things. Their will be several big time matches on Saturday morning that will have huge implications on placement (winner in finals loser may get pushed back to 7th/8th). Secondly, as many have notice the draw of some semi-states (who meets in the semi-finals) ended up putting several of these great friday night and saturday morning matchups together.

Reading the topic I thought you meant 1st round matches that were repeats of the 1st round last year. I would assume that it would be rare to face the same opponent you did the pervious year at state in any round (the Eppert/Wright 3 year finals best example) let alone two times in a row in the 1st round Friday night.
