Well some on here were wanting a new coach for the Boilers. Let's hope Purdue gets a quality guy in there to bring them to the top of the Big Ten. Maybe Kyle Dake would like a head coaching position.

I know when took over the Whiteland program about 6-7 years ago, we had no one wrestling freestyle except a few high school guys that were interested. Now that I've continued to push it, we get about 20 kids following through to freestyle state. It starts will building a good folkstyle program and then keeping those that love the sport to stick around during the spring to continue wrestling. It takes a while to build a steady group that are interested. What I typically do is show some highlight matches with big throws and exciting freestyle moves that keep the kids interested. They see the throws and the big takedowns and it keeps them interested in learning those moves. It has helped me build a decent group of guys to continue through the spring. It would be nice if they moved the folkstyle state into February at least for the little guys, but scheduling during IHSAA series would be conflicting. I would personally love to see middle school, high school and collegiate wrestling switch to freestyle wrestling.

That's what I took from this as the commentator said Quiroga chose bottom. Schopp was tough on top, no wonder why he chose it. -
Even though the point wasn't the deciding factor in the Schopp Quiroga match, watching Schopp on top, he seemed to do just that, in locking from a back/side headlock and rode most of it not really advancing his move a lot of the time. He was sitting there waiting for Quiroga to move while he was racking up the seconds/minutes for riding time. He did get nearfall eventually but mostly sat out to the side, once he did turn him, Quiroga knew he was close to catching him on his back, he really rode it out like that on top. Would be nice as Greco said, riding time point is only accumulated when the wrestler scores nearfall, with 1+ of time in top position. Either way, it'd be nice if stalling was called more often in high school to push the tempo of wrestling. One reason I like freestyle, takes away top/bottom stalling.

Tsirtsis rode him out in the 2nd part of 2OT and got the 2-1 win.

Tsirtsis in a good 2OT match with Maple.

That's what I was wondering. Should have went neutral. Quiroga was much faster then Schopp should have used that in the 2nd period. Schopp controlled him with no problem that 2nd period. I thought Schopp did a little stalling just to wear Cashe out, but ref never forced him for a turn but did warn Cashe after a few.

Quiroga loses a tough one 11-7 to Schopp. Schopp rides tough with that back headlock out to the side and running a tilt off of it getting about 3.5-4 minutes of riding time out of it. Quiroga was down big in the 3rd and made a run to get it to close but the blood time slowed any momentum he had going. Good match though.
-
Quiroga was in on a single leg, caught him scrambling off that single, into a headlock. Got the pin in the 2nd with 10 seconds left.

Another good year of wrestling at the Mid-State Conference. Clark Pleasant won last year and looked to defend their title. CPMS won conference and finished with 11 champions. Team Scores: Whiteland 378 Franklin 337 Mooresville 253 Greenwood 204.5 Decatur 159 Martinsville West 156 Plainfield 108 Martinsville East 107 CPMS finished with a record of 13-3. The three losses came from Center Grove Central, Pendelton Heights and Franklin. They came back and finished strong with winning Johnson County and Mid-State Conference titles. CPMS has now won county three years in a row and have won conference two years in a row.

Stinks that the ISWA folkstlye state finals falls on the same weekend as the Mid-State middle school tournament. I know a couple of our middle school 8th graders are in Cadet. We'd have about 3-4 more guys signing up helping us with a shot at team state title. They'd like to wrestle at state, but there is that chance of missing the first matches due to conference touranment. Would be nice if they could push the state tournaments back a weekend.
-
That sounds quite a bit like the way we are running it here down at Whiteland. We keep the local club cheap for a bunch of beginners and inexperienced guys for them to get a feel for wrestling. If they want to pursue wrestling a little more, I work with them as much as possible and encourage them to seek other what I call "private" clubs with a paid membership. Since we can't offer what skill level that is attending those, I suggest they get out there, hear what other coaches are saying and get in some work with quality wrestlers. Not really a prediction, but in two years I'd like to see Whiteland send 4 guys to IHSAA state.
-
Were they mailed to the club representatives on file with the ISWA or did you have to sign up for one during at the ISWA kids state? If it's being shipped to club rep, I guess should I expect one anytime soon then.
-
Wish I could say the same for Morgan Burke. The guys is swimming happily at the bottom of the barrel.
-
I wasn't able to make the first one and looks like I won't be able to attend this coming one. Any possible way that this can be recorded for those that won't be able to make it? It would be nice to have this possibly posted to the ISWA website, via a Youtube link or something.

This past Saturday six teams competed in the Johnson County Middle School Tournament. This is ran as an individual tournament unlike the high school's dual meet tournament. Thanks to Greenwood MS and their staff on a well ran tournament as always. Clark Pleasant MS defends their title as they have won the tournament for a third year in a row. Clark Pleasant had 10 in the finals with 7 coming out as champions. The team scores finished like this. Clark Pleasant 283 Center Grove Central 263 Franklin 237 1/2 Indian Creek 216 Greenwood 160 Center Grove North 133 All teams had some good and very good wrestlers. The competition in Johnson County is getting to be pretty tough lately. Should make for a good high school tourney in the next couple of years.

Anyway to find the salaries of the Big Ten Coaches and assistants? Maybe there is a correlation?
-
You have to also wonder how much does an assistant coach even make? Most might come help as they continue to pursue their international level, but I would imagine that wrestling assistants might not earn that much for the time and effort. We all love the sport of wrestling, but this is their job and would like to make a decent living as well. Maybe athletic departments are limiting budgets or something behind the scenes that we don't know about? Purdue & IU's budget, might not be that of Ohio State, Iowa, Minnesota's. Just a thought.
-
Obviously every kid is different want different things in life. Being an alum, I'd love for Purdue to be a title contender every year. Purdue or IU could have all the Indiana studs, but they also need to land some other out of state top tier guys every once in a while to bring them to the top as well. So not just Indiana boys want to go there. They'll need to pull a couple off like Northwestern just did, but the education could have also influenced those two to go. Penn State is becoming the new Iowa, but when I was growing up, every kid wanted to wrestle at Iowa. Just as with top high schools, once you build it, they will come.

CPMS Warriors got back on track after Mondays defeat with a pair of W's on Tuesday night against Greenwood and Thursday against Plainfield. Sorry I do not have a score available for the Greenwood meet. The Warriors move on to 12-3 on the year. CPMS will host Shelbyville MS on Thursday the 6th for their final dual meet of the season before county.

Clark Pleasant drops a close dual meet to a well coached CG Central team. Match ended in a 44-44 tie, with CG C winning on the tie breaker criteria. Was an exciting middle school meet to watch between both squads. CPMS record is 11-3 on the year.

Weigh in Friday night for ISWA tournament on Sunday?
sslaymon replied to 91STATEQUALIFER's topic in Past Discussions
Following weekend is the kids ISWA Folkstyle Tournament. I also know that the Johnson County Middle School tournament is on the 8th as well. Not many clubs try to compete with ISWA state unless it's a beginners meet. So this is the tune-up for those bigger guys going to the state tournament. -
That is pretty sweet. Would be nice to see a rep from each school carrying something similar. Would be a little easier from the upper section to help recognize each team, especially if two teams are similar colors during the parade. What are the dimensions of that banner? I think I'll design something similar sizing, but with some better school name and colors. ;D

Weigh in Friday night for ISWA tournament on Sunday?
sslaymon replied to 91STATEQUALIFER's topic in Past Discussions
I certainly like the fact that some of the tournaments are going back to the weigh process. The honor system was pretty much a joke on what kids weighed in at. Being the little kids club coach, I would weigh our guys in the Thursday night before. Being how the parents would register their kids, most would still enter them in a different class that I weighed them in at. I would promptly notify the tournament directors of any wrong classes that I saw. While it does pose a problem for those around the state for weigh-ins at a local tournament, I'm glad they are doing it. It would be nice if they had a morning option weigh in. With that comes problems with getting volunteers up at 6am on a Saturday/Sunday to weigh kids in and then work the tournament for the rest of the day. However with trackwrestling, you can get a couple people setup on computers in the weigh in room, if they make weight, great, they stay there. If they miss the weight class they signed up for, send them over to a person with a computer to update the brackets. Trackwrestling makes this much more convenient. The issues with most tournaments though, once a parent sees a posted bracket, they believe it shouldn't and will not change, so if someone misses their class, it obviously changes things. I don't know how many times I've had parents run up, what happened to the bracket, my sons bout changed from 1005 to 1013. Glad to have tournament hosted weigh ins. If we can get more clubs to provide local weigh ins, it certainly would help those 1 hours or plus away to get situated for the tournament. -
I stuck around for the HWT match, but didn't stick around for the awards to follow. What about starting with the big guys and working the way down the weight classes?
