    Phillips was up 17-8 with 20 sec left, he made a poor choice in letting it go neutral to restart with the 20 sec left, he got tossed an it finished 17-14. He made a poor decision in going neutral, which allowed the final outcome to even have a chance. He rides him out the last 20 an no one thinks anything of a 17-8 win. No different than Tsirtsis winning early in the year 3-1 against Schrader, except Tsirtsis was never up 9 pts. It was too close a match at the whistles end, however, the match wasn't that close until then, it happened. It might happen again, it might happen to anyone this weekend. He isn't the first one to make a wrong decision and I'm sure he won't be the last. Let's all wrestle good this weekend and see where the cards fall.

    Also, Phillips was up a comfortable 17-8, with 20 sec left an chose to let Moss up. Then was tossed to his back making the final score 17-14. I believe he made a mistake in choosing to go neutral with that short a time left. I feel that if he chose to ride him out, he could have an the final would of been 17-8 an this talk would all be for not. Good luck at state for everyone, mostly those from the New Castle SS.

    You forgot Kyle Barrett Connersville 215 Also, TEC has only 2 this year.. Cody Phillips 103 and Mike Duckworth 171
  7. FANMAN
    103 I believe Gettinger is a darkhorse. I think he wrestled Phillips as good as anyone has so far. I know he lost to Venezia 7-0 allready at Connersville, but, past losses aren't that important now.

    Union County didn't go Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is allready cancelled. The country roads have some really big drifts.

    See.. simple enough.. wasn't all that hard, or having hands tied.. thanks.

    Which is why I said, use.. " Richmond 1, Richmond 2, Richmong 3, Richmond 4 " Didn't realize it needed that much more to figure out. Really, I could care less, as their will be brackets at the meet. I'm sure others would prefer you leave it, as... brackets, brackets an talking about why can't we get them sooner will never end. How hard could it be to put in Richmond 1,2,3,4 at each of those spots, intead of bye? Whatever tho, good job.
  11. FANMAN
    Wow.. how funny to put in byes instead of just using Richmond 1, 2, 3, 4 placers. Such true love, and showing them who would face NC SS guys advancing.. lmao..
  12. FANMAN
    Who thinks they will use the same formula for New Castle SS. If they do, some good matchups.
  13. FANMAN
    I think they will do what they can to finish up Monday nite.
  14. FANMAN
    You could of read this, as it is the first post.

    My favorite thing about Merryville Semi State is that I get to attend New Castle instead, roomy, comfy, affordable food, coolers allowed.
  16. FANMAN
    I'm pretty sure there are 4 regionals that feed New Castle, IIRC the semi state draws aren't released until tomorrow. Your regional may or may not wrestle that regional, your could wrestle the Richmond regional or Pendleton Heights. LOL, anyways.. yeah.. good luck
  17. FANMAN
    How do you know the draw for semi state at New Castle allready?
  18. FANMAN
    http://rtcol.com/RochesterWrestling/2009-10/2009-10%20Rochester%20Regional.pdf This was really hard to find in the results section.
  19. FANMAN
    Just recieved call from UC asst coach, confirms the regional is postponed.. no date has been set yet for a makeup.
  20. FANMAN
    Just a lil bump for those going to Richmond.. I'm guessing the kids are playing Modern Warfare, Halo, or some other video game.
  21. FANMAN
    I never said it was cheapened, but said it would mean more to the kids. Your right, no one can take it away from any winners, and most all wrestlers work their butts off, the elite often work the butts off of someone else too. I also do what I think is best for my kids, however, sometimes I'm wrong on what I'm thinking is truly best for them. This could be one of those things I'm wrong on, or, it could be one I'm right about. Which is why it is highly debated on amongst those on this site, and it is likely to not change. There isn't a clear cut solution, to it which likely will prevent change from happening, for the good or the bad. It simply will be what it is now.

    If you believe that, then every kid believes that. Any kid who is motivated can do amazing things, if he puts in the time. Big or small school. The kids who make it to the finals of each class.. if there would be only 2 classes, also, would likely make it to or near the finals, of a 1 class, maybe meeting in quarters or semi's, all depending on location an draws. Any kid who gets a taste of something that they believe in, almost always put forth extra effort an time. I know my kids do, an my kid is just a 2nd year wrestler, freshman, starting varsity, taking complete an total domination most every match. He has won very few matches, however, he practices hard, wrestlers as hard as he can and continues to strive to be better. He has no problems wanting to wrestle the best, knowing what the outcome is going to be or how short it might last. If it comes to it, I believe as you also said you believe, the competitor in you wants 1 class, but, who are the ones competing.. the kids. And I believe majority if not all kids would prefer 1 class for individuals, and maybe classed for team.. maybe. I believe in each an every persons mind, knowing you won your weight in a 1 class system, would mean more than in multi class. However, also in each persons mind, that a classed team idea might be the way to go, because as a team of a similiar size, they can compete 103-Hvy. Looking back at our teams dual schedule, I believe that most if not all our dual losses were to much bigger schools, howver I don't believe that any of our kids would want a classed individual, but maybe a team format one.

    Wouldn't you want to also wrestle the best competition for the state series also? If it so happens the best kids in each weight are from big schools, so be it, if from small schools. so be it. Competition is just that, seek out the best, not just the best... until state since the best isn't in our class. Then, be happy with just the best in your class. There are always shaky records, but, advancing 4 from each would increase the chances of more shaky ones. Their are many big schools not filling spots, and they have the enrollment, an small schools, some, who excel at getting full rosters year in an year out. Don't get me wrong, I'm not entirely against the idea, however, I do not believe it increases or makes better anything, just simply spreads it out. I believe the 2a school here would succeed greatly if only among other schools our size. It would increase our chance as a team advancement, and a few individuals as well, maybe even able to get a 3rd state champ out of the deal.

    Who said the the talent is split equally between large an small. The potential to reach the ultimate goal is equal to all who participate. I believe that to be true. The top 2 kids at any weight could both be from large or small schools. Classing wrestling into big an small would guarantee your 50% your wanting.
  25. FANMAN
    So, if it went to class.. would you even bother wrestling schools not in your class? If it went class.. still advance top 4 from sect, reg, semi,? Would likely see alot more so-so records. I don't believe that classing will bring more kids into the small school programs, as the athletes are thin as it is. I have never heard a kid say, " if I only had to wrestle kids my own size from schools my own size.. I'll join " . Not sure I've ever heard a kid say, " well, he was from a bigger school, I was expected to lose ". I've seem alot of these 4a schools with really subpar wrestling programs, but a few solid individuals. Also, still forfeiting some weights, not just the lightweights either. I say all this while my kid goes to a 2a school, who dropped 2a schools from the schedule to face tougher, sometimes bigger schools elsewhere, to improve the individuals, but took some beatings from the bigger schools as a team. Some of the big schools took the beating from us, and what would be their excuse for losing to a small school?
