Will wrestlers only need their USA wrestling card or is there a fee that they must bring as well?

Anyone with a USA wrestling card. We are expecting to have at least 10-12 of our high school kids attending this Thursday as well as a few of our middle school kids. There should be kids of all weights from our school attending.

I was approached and had comments told to me by fans of South last year in our first dual meet with them at County, which they were in control of the dual from start to finish, so you are incorrect Sgyorks. I am not commenting on this topic anymore unless someone has a direct question for me. I was merely defending myself and my staff after we were called out.

We wrestled South 5 times on Saturday and I sat in the chair and shook (fist pound) the hands in the 2 matches that I was in the coaches chair for. We have 2 other coaches and in most cases other kids wrestling at the same time. The other 3 I was not in the chair. And your regards to not shaking hands at county, as the previous match ends, as a coach, my job is to get my next wrestler ready to wrestle, it is not for me to wait on the wrestler from the opposing team to walk over and shake hands (I do believe that I shook the hands of multiple kids after the matches and if im not mistaken, do we not shake hands as a team after the dual?). Rivalries are tough and in the heat of the moment coaches, parents, fans will say and do things. I will say that the clap and the comment "never again" was in the heat of the moment. I will also say that every time we have wrestled South in my 2 years I have had MULTIPLE parents, grandparents have choice words for me during and after duals or tournaments. Each time I give them a respectable response and brush it off as fans being fans and its an in the moment situation and reaction. I do not care who or what other fans do not like me. You guys on this website can slander my name and talk as bad about me as you want. The parents of the athletes that I coach have no problem with the actions of our coaching staff and that is what matters to me most. I find it ironic that other schools in our area that we wrestle find it disrespectful, i guess, for our staff to give their kids the "fist pound" after the match instead of the traditional hand shake when other coaching staffs in our area and in our conference do the exact same thing (fist pound). We will use your words as motivation for next year Maurice Swain North Montgomery Head Wrestling Coach

Score was 11-7

I am pretty sure that it was 29-28 with Portage winning. If I am not mistaken it came down to the last match (182), Portage won the match by decision which gave them the team win.

North Montgomery 2A and sure why not

Good points by everyone.. We, like many other schools have a big bulk of our talent within 10 lbs of each other and have to force alot of guys into 5 weight classes.. Like I said before, it is a great problem to have but as a coach you want to get all of those guys in the line up at where they can be most competitive especially the seniors.. We will find a way to make it work..

Nope last year we had kids wrestling up to fill the line up.. Now everyone actually weighs what they would have needed for the old weight classes.. I know this is a problem that many other coaches probably have and in a sense its a good problem to have.. Just unfortunate.. My 160 actually weighs 157.. No one can go up.. only can go down..

Wrestling is more of an individual sport imo..If a kid wrestles off and wins that spot I am not the type of coach to tell that kid that he has to go up a weight class just to fit another kid in.. 126, 132, 138 is FAR more deeper and tougher than 182, 195, 220.. 180-220 will normally have solid tough kids at the 1st-3rd state place finishers but other than that, those weights are no where close to 126-138.. Not even close

Like I said earlier, when you have guys 2 weight classes above and below you that you cannot beat and each one of you are returning starters then that kid is screwed because of the new weight changes... I do not see how you guys cant understand that.. A weight class from the most competitive area has been taken away. So that kid that weighs 142 who cannot beat the guy at 145, 152, 160 has to sit the bench now.. Yeah he can gain 30 pounds and wrestle 170? When 182-220 becomes the most competitive weight range in the state/country then I will feel like the weight change was justified. I highly doubt that will ever happen..

What you do not seem to understand is that this situation will happen alot more often at the 130-160 weight range rather than the 170-220 range.. Many more varsity level kids in the 130-160 range will be sitting out or cutting a ton of weight to get into the lineup because the competition in their room is probably far tougher than that at the 170-220 range The bigger picture is that the most competitive weight range is losing a weight class while the least competitive weight range is gaining a class.. I'll leave you with this, I guarantee you that the 126, 132, 138 weight classes prove to be FAR tougher this upcoming year than the 182,195,220.. Disagree?

When some of those kids play Football then No its not enough time when you potentially have to get down to a weight class that is even lower than the one they anticipated on wrestling.. 130-160 went from 6 weight classes to 5 weight classes. So if you have 6 returning starters fight for what is now 5 spots that means that someone has to get down even lower than anticipated. So now someone has to go 126. Factor in the weight gain that most kids bulk up for Football, this makes that kid who weighs 142, who was expecting to go 135 to now try to make 126 because he cannot beat the returner at 132 or 138.. So yeah 6 months is not enough. It is just disappointed to lose a weight class where the bulk of the quality wrestlers are.

Well when you have 6 returning starters now fighting for 5 spots, you would have one of those guys prepare for dropping down to a weight that they did not plan on getting down to. As a coach it is tough to bump a guy out of the line up who is a returning starter, who has wrestled all spring and summer, and is committed to the sport so we can add another upper weight class in for the football kid that wrestles for 3 months of the year. I know I am not the only coach that has this problem but I guess it would have soften the blow if we waited a year to implement the weight changes. Maybe I am just being selfish as a die hard wrestling fan and coach.

I just wish the IHSAA would have waited one year before adopting the new weight classes. I think this would have allowed many coaches the opportunity to prepare for the change rather than throwing it out there after many coaches may have had their line ups somewhat set for this year..

If the returning State Champion Team (Perry) struggles to fill their line up with quality wrestlers that actually weigh 215, 189 now 182,195, 220 then I venture to think that most schools around the state struggle to find kids to fill those spots with kids that weigh 189, 215, now 182, 195, 220. Moving 103 up to 106 is the minor issue in this whole change. The major issue is taking away a middle weight class that is very competitive and a prime weight class in this sport and one of which the majority of teams have no problem filling just to add another upper weight class that is tough to fill with a quality wrestler that has wrestling experience. The odds are most teams will have more experienced kids in the middle weights than in the lower and upper weights. It is common sense. Statistics can tell you one thing but general knowledge of the sport will tell you another. Taking away 135 to add 182 was a bad move in my opinion.

We had that situation happen this year and I have seen it happen many times in the past.. The stud football player comes out for the team and during the first week of practice he gets beat on by the kids who he would pound on during the football season.. So eventually he quits from embarrassment/ finally being the kid who is not one of the elite in the sport he is participating in. Its unfortunate but it happens all the time..

This seems like a backwards decision. Every Freestyle tournament that I have been to seems to have alot bigger brackets at the 125-160 range. Even when it is time to match up JV guys for matches it seems that every team has extra guys at the middle weights as compared to the heavier weights. Why add another big weight class where the numbers of competitive wrestlers are lower than the middle weights?

It was awesome last night.. Our kids are sold on wrestling every Thursday at LN.. Great great turn out
