Their next two incoming recruiting classes have enough light weight blue chips that even with redshirts some stud won’t ever get in the lineup.

Climbing the rankings. At this point he’s close to securing the Big10 tournament top seed. Ohio State’s McKenna match is about the only real Big10 test he has left.

Does Eli Stock win last years dark horse award?

We have had a quite a few years where two teams had two state champs. In many cases the two from the same school bring within a weight or two of each other. Good practice partners help. But 2003 has to be the last I can think of with 3 or more champs from more than one team. Griffith with A. Escobedo, Hernandez, A. Tsirtsis three in a row. And then a couple weights later EMD with weinzapfel, Nosko, Wildeman, Mauer four in a row. Somewhere around 2012 or 2013 I believe Perry Meridian had 3 champs. Whenever it was Donte Windfields Senior year. That maybe the last time one team had three champs.

We are also there longer than most of the other sports. May as well doing it comfortably if you can.

I feel like they will at least be in by Feb. 10th for SS and Feb. 17th for state.

The sold out ones may well be just the upper level general purchase suites. Most of the lower ones are owned by corporations and I'm not sure I've ever seen them full. To get one though you have to know someone at that business who can get it, and many times the company requires someone working for them to be there as a representative (i.e. be liable for those using it). If anyone got one of those connections I'd be more than willing to take up a spot in those the corporate suites. I really miss the days when I used to have a connection to one.

I think the main issue comes down to the length and tightness of the shorts. Some companies maybe selling shorts that fall outside of set guidelines for these shorts, but the coaches are assuming they are getting ones that fall within the rules. I have seen some teams have short and very close fitting fight shorts that I don't see any problem with, but I have seen other that were pretty long and baggy. Same with the tightness of the compression shirts where some teams look more like a loose fitting dry-fit shirt than an actual compression shirt. Something tells me they are going to have to start policing this more of the state organizations may go back to outlawing them.

My second post of this topic basically covers that one. The 12-man brackets looks cleaner, but it limits the random draw-in that the IHSAA likes.

I’ll take the assist from maligned any day, he’s always good for some great details.

Or you can do what international wrestling does or at least used to. Move all the wrestler vs bye matchups on one half of the bracket and put all the wrestler vs wrestlers first round matches on the other half. So then it looks like the most lopsided brackets ever created. They may have stated moved away from that recently, as they started using the new seeding/separation critetia system.
-
If all sectionals had 8 teams that solution would be possible. However, with more than 8 teams per sectional you end up with a 16-man bracket and thus byes occur. The 16-man bracket allows for the none seeded to have a equal chance of drawing into any position. Unlike if you created say a 12-man bracket, which would then limit where those byes could be placed. After sectionals this is no longer an issue since the exact amount of wrestlers advance that are needed for the bracket.

I will say Jeffersonville Sectional does have some decent wrestler left. I think the real issue is the very large number of FF in that sectional, and a major depth issue now that NA and Floyd Central have been moved. Would be nice to see a couple more teams added to that that sectional just to help a few of the brackets get filled in better.

And Browsburg holds its 21st Flo team ranking.

Our MS team has already wrestled under 3 different sets of weight since the start of the season. Plus I know we will have at least 1 more different set of weight later in the year that we haven’t encountered yet. It’s a headache for coaches especially when we hear about the weight classes just a couple days prior to the meet. Not to mention a pain for the wrestler that should be worrying about improving and not constantly fluctuating weight classes. Start at different times of the year, that’s fine doesn’t hurt anyone you face. Have slightly different equipment rules, I can live with that since it’s your guys. Have different period lengths, OK at least it’s even for both wrestlers. Keep having to change weights through the year and not get told until days prior to the meet, that’s unfair to the team if not even teaching some the bad habits of fluctuate their weight constantly to fit into that weeks new weight class. I pushed for a number of years to try to have a more universal set up weights at least in our area but some AD/coaches are stubborn in their ways and in other cases the coaches change the weights yearly to what best aids that years team. With no MS governing body it will take most teams adopt a universial weight set before enough influence will be put on those type of schools to finally conform as well.

He’s out for the season. Messed his shoulder up during pre-season. Had surgery to repair it.

If you are going by one sectional seeding interpretetion that says most wins over sectional opponents gets the seed then swain358’s version would be correct. Though there are flaws in that seeding interpretation which could lead to poor seeding. If you go by a different seed interpretation a 1 win lead give you advantage over the other wrestler, but additional wins over that same opponent has not added seeding benefit. In that case go to the next criteria to determine the seeds.
-
That specific situation shouldn’t be an issue using Sectional Seed Criteria. After head to head and common opponents comes Semi-state quarterfinalist an furthest before record criteria is used. c. Semi‐State quarterfinalist, or higher in previous year IHSAA Tournament Series;d. Win percentage. A contestant with the best overall record (winning percentage) who has wrestled at least 10 Now if he was just a semi-state qualifier then the criteria of fathest advancement in the state tournament doesn’t come into play until after record.
-
So to clarify a “normal length” slide on knee pads, which are just around the knee area, is still OK to wear? And just these “extended length” full sleeve knee pads, which go up the thigh and down near the ankle, that are now illegal.
-
Based on HHC results I’d say Floyd should have no issue getting 12 through with 9 finalists. NA 9 through with possibly 5 finalists.
-
And also over Wathen 9-4.

^ This AncientElder grecoref Hook and Half I enjoy the nostalgic stories they would share.

Brownsburg vs. Perry Meridian at 6:30pm Tuesday

Brownsburg looks like they will pull this one off to cement the state top ranking and their 21st national ranking. -

The younger ones doing ok. Better than some Big10 Student U announcers I’ve heard. Biggest issue for new announcers is you don’t have to do a complete play-by-play since we can see the action. The older one at least is asking good questions to help clarify some stuff for those listening. Keep using your background knowledge of the wrestlers to help add to the info they don’t have readily available. All in all not an awful production Nick. -
