    Funny…I brought this up last year and people said I was crazy.  I don’t know how it will be for ECC, but Ft Wayne was NOT random last year.

    Jay County 2's hit Peru 1's more often along with the vice versa or Jay County 1's hitting Peru 2's. That's why Jay County has had inflated state qualifier numbers for so many years.

    I have been told there was a group of 18 the voted unanimously on these changes. There were coaches on this committee, but who they are is a mystery.

    I respect both gentlemen for what you've done to grow girls wrestling. I would encourage y'all to work it out offline. Additional public attention to this topic doesn't help the bigger goal of presenting our girls and the sport in a serious light.

    Anyone know when all of the wrestlers will be transferred over to JV State on Track?

    Rochester is far and away the best team in 1A this year and would make some serious noise in 2A.  As far as seeding went, West Central went into this tournament in a no-win situation.  I was honestly just hoping for a top four seed after edging out a banged up Rochester team at the Joe Burvan Duals.  If we would’ve been seeded below Rochester, I guarantee there wouldn’t be one West Central supporter complaining about that.  
    WC belonged in the small gym all day long with the product we put on the mat today.  I do not post on Indianamat, I just look like thousands of others do.  

    However, being from one of the smallest schools in the state, competing with the great programs we did today (and in 2014, 2015 and 2023), it’s always been humbling and great for us.  Congratulations to all teams that competed today.

    Assuming this is true, it sounds like the Penn AD got veto power because Penn was one of the host sites for the semistates?
     
    If true, that seems backwards.
     
    One of the host sites of a multi-site event shouldn't dictate what the format is for the event. The organizers of the event should dictate the format, and if a host site refuses to comply, they shouldn't be allowed to be one of the hosts.

    Looking at the 155 bracket, shouldn’t 1s and 2s from the same regional be on opposite sides of the bracket? So they wouldn’t meet till the finals.

    You and Kevin? (Wawasee I think) encouraged us to bribe you to win the clean room contest every morning.  You said you liked pizza and country music, so we ordered a pizza the night before, woke up early to warm it up, and put an “Achy Breaky Heart” cassette  on when you came in to judge.😂

    I don't think it will change much, if any at all.  Rochester has wins over 3A #5 and a 2 point loss to 3A #10, who 3A #5 also beat.  We also have a dual win against 2A #7 and we have a tournament 1st place where we out placed 2A #8, 1A #6, and 1A #7.  West Central and Rochester went 7-7 in matches, they got one more fall (tougher team than they look on paper that is for sure).  They are also in the 1A Team State field.
     
    Given our wins this year, I think those outweigh our 2 losses and we should be in the #1-#3 seed range.  I don't know who does the seeding...just my 2 cents.

    Kind of funny how people are chiming in with their 2 cents, when they’ve done nothing to support or help grow women’s wrestling. Going from 2 state levels to 3 was necessary. Weight classes too full and not being able to finish some weight classes cause of daily match allowances. This Regional round will have minimal brackets, but it will setup for a better semi state for the girls.

    As I said in my first post, I think we are a top 3 seed.  I think WC should be and can be rewarded for their win without saying Rochester or any other team automatically gets a much lower seed given what we've done this year and in previous years. The reasons people are using to give South Adams, WC, or whoever else a higher seed can be used for Rochester and other teams in the field as well.  I don't know how it will shake out but I know it's going to be a crazy, exciting day.

    You also can’t just assume certain teams jump in front of teams like Prairie Heights, who lost a pretty close dual with AC.  And, Tell City has no head to heads with any 1A teams in the field in duals or tourneys so how do they automatically get the 2nd seed?  Having said that I think TC is a top 3 seed but those are all things to consider.  I don’t think this is as clear cut as some think it is. What do I know 🤷🏻‍♂️

    For sure a close dual with ph and ac.....unfortunately our 113 missed weight and we didn't have a fill in that day......who knows, that dual could have been the other way around.
     
    Regardless, 1A should probably be one of the most competitive fields across the board this year.

    Agreed with Clint. If anything, it should boost WC into the top 4-5 discussion. Rochester has a great team and resume and shouldn’t be punished with their two blemishes, but WC should be rewarded for their win as well. 
     
    WC is very solid at 1A from 120-150. 2 State Qualifiers, a SSQ, and several tough freshmen.

    Coach Gard is one of the best coaches in the sport, no doubt he will have his guys ready no matter the semi-state. Sucks to see one of Ft. Wayne’s best teams leave though.
