Lefever in semi-finals vs. Nick Heflin
-
Just starting looking the event over so I’m not sure who all is entered that has Indiana ties. Women’s Freestyle and Men’s Greco are competing today. Men’s Freestyle on Friday and Saturday. Women’s Freestyle finals on Friday. Hildebrandt and Miricle both made the Women’s finals for their weight-class. I believe I saw that Riley Lefever competing in Freestyle.

You may be getting two different story lines crossed since the thread got on a side tangent. Jesse Mendez won the MS Division at Super 32. One of the wrestlers Jesse will be facing during the upcoming Ironman MS Showcase is Crookham. He just won the Super32 HS Division as an 8th grader, though he maybe a slightly older one. That is the age discussion that we were having in some of the last few posts.

I re-read the post. That person said he will be 15yo in 8th grade. So sure he could be 14 and turning 15 at some point in the school year. Sure he’s still a little older than the average MS student when someone says he got a HS title as a 8th grader. But it slightly more within the realm of acceptability than someone already being 15 this early in 8th grade. Even so as I said earlier it was a great showing when you consider much of his competition was still a year or two older than him.

Possible could be out at the start. May depend on how things go at the College Opens they attend. Shields is a very solid wrestlers that’s threatening to AA this year. Do Tsirtsis would have needed to be close to his old form anyway. Coming off that much of a career layoff, I fully expected a close match. But it’s still a disheartening to know Jason isn’t where we hoped he would be at this point. Does anyone know if he’s academically eligible from the start of this semester or do they have him on some type of academic probation until semester due to his previous situation. I know he wasn’t failing at NW, but wasn’t sure if the switch due to academics still put him on some type of athletic restriction to start the year. If so he may not be quite back to his old wrestling form since their isn’t as much motivation to get there in October when he won’t be able to hit the mat for the team until January. Even if if there isn’t a restriction I wouldn’t be surprised with the layoff he’s had if it’s a slow ramp up before he’s closer to his old form. Along with the fact he may likely need to drop another weight class To increase his chances of success. Although ASU has a solid wrestler there too. Not to mention he likely needs to make some adjustments to that form to be a viable AA candidate this season. Some of the last few years of NCAA rules tweaks haven’t exactly favor his earlier defensive style. In the end if he is able finishes off with a degree and can transition into a solid post college life then the change is still useful even if he never end up starting for ASU. But man it would be nice to see him make a comeback and have one more serious run at another title.

I don't want to put a complete squash on what is a very impressive accomplishment, but I have read on themat.com that he may actually be 15 yo, which would be closer to a freshman in age than a MS student. With that said he still deserves accolades for winning a big national tournament considering most of his competition would still have been older than him. He’s a straight up stud and will no doubt win some more major events before he’s done. But in terms of promoting the win it doesn't sound like he is of normal 8th grade age And yes it’s going to be quite the set of wrestling matches at Ironman.

I believe that's is "big brothering" in it's purest form. Although Lucas has developed quite a bit over the last couple years.
-
Lucas Davison Super 32 Runner-Up. Lost in the finals 5-1. Gave up a reversal and tilt in the 2nd. Got an escape in the 3rd. All together a very solid weekend for him. E. Pokorney 3rd K. McIntosh 5th Penola 4th A. Garcia 7th In the MS Divison: J. Mendez Super 32 Champion Z. Seltzer 3rd G. Sollars 6th P. Haines 4th

Yes, very similar to our region kids that have a Indiana address, but choose to go to a private school across the boarder in Illinois. Well minus the staying at a boarding school. They would be IN kids during the off season USA wrestling events due to their address, but would be IL kids for HS due to their choice of school.

I appreciate the confidence to remain on top rather than cut Rooks and make it a takedown contest. And you have to applaud the skill to stick tight to someone as good as Rooks for an entire period. Not everyone enjoys that part of may wrestling, but it is very impressive to for a wrestler to pull off. Looks by forward to see these two battle it out at some point in the future.

Congrats to Tristan and Floyd Central.
-
Has Jesse wrestled against any of these guys in the last couple years? I don't follow all the ends and outs of top national MS talent but I do know Nic Bouzakis has gotten some solid accolades recently. I'm sure the rest also have some major national credits to their name too.

It is a competition option for this coming season. However, there are some specific clothing rules (mostly dealing with length) that you have to adhere to. So if you are thinking about switching your best best is to contact a vendor (like E.I. Sports) that can go over the specification.

Great grab for the Greyhounds.
-
For Columbus East. I know the Rooks brothers both took 3rd. And Combest 4th.
-
Just speculation but I think the rankers are being cautious on ranking him until he appears on the mat and shows he's close to his old form. He had a rough season and then a layoff right after, so it's kinda hard to show on paper who would move out of the rankings to make room for him. Plus it's still unclear what weight he will eventually land at. He was listed on the roster last I checked. Hopefully he'll come out close to his old form and can prove he's rankings worthy early in the season.

P4P #6 B. Lee P4P #8 M. Parris 145 #20 K. McIntosh 152 #1 B. Lee 160 #2 J. Lee 195 #5 L. Davison 220 #1 M. Parris HWT #15 E. Pokorney The last few big Pre-Season tournaments, especially Super 32, maybe the final chance for IN wrestlers to enter these rankings or advance to a higher rank. Traditionally Our rankings are stagnant or even decline due to the lack of major national competition we see in IN when compared to many of these other studs.

He did give Waltz his closest match of the day. And it was Riley's only close match too, teching the rest of his competition.
-
J. Lee loses to Carr 6-1 due to a late 3rd period takedown and tilt for back points. Very close opening periods but Carr finally found a way to finish a shot late and recognized a back point opportunity right after as Lee was trying to find a way back in get the match. Another classic down to the wire don't give up an inch battle until the last minute of the match. Joe will likely keep the #2 rankings spot. However, his lack of a true HS season (as we hear will happen) may not allow Joe to remain in the rankings the the entire year.
