From watching the live feed, Yorktown, seems to be a very defensive wrestling team. Mishiwaka is attacking left and right showing solid shots and takedowns. 21-11 after 152, I think Mishiwaka is going to roll with it from here on out.

Whiteland had 28 kids there. I was there first thing in the morning at 8 am. Wrestling didn't start til about 10:45 or so, slightly earlier in the other gym with Women's wrestling first. I didn't leave until 7 pm. The kid had 3 matches all day, and two of them were the last 15 minutes of the day. Another one of our wrestlers didn't wrestle his first match until 3 pm. Kind of dissapointed by the tournament. The whole faxed/email weigh in thing, is for the sole purpose of speeding up tournaments. I don't understand allowing some people to be register if they didn't previously fill anything out. If there was a mistake that left them out then, okay, but try to have enough help to fix these problems within a half hour. We know most tournaments start late, but they usually get going in the half hour range sometimes up to an hour.

I wish a lot of tournaments would get away from the splitting up age/weight groups. I'd rather see a 16 or 32 man bracket, instead of 4, 5 or 6 different Intermediate 60's. Most kids only get about 3-4 matches out of that. If done correctly, you could easily get the large groups started first, and worked their way through even in the large bracket and completed in a timely manner. The whole 2-3 matches only thing is a bit of a waste.

We were there last year. Started a little late, not much, but that's to be expected at any tournament anymore. Once rolling it ran very smooth and kept it at a steady pace. As I remember plenty of room for spectators, and a lot of room for wrestling. I believe they had 8 mats going and was out at a pretty good time as well.

Whiteland Wrestling Club is full of beginners and we are bringing 32 kids in all, from Pee-Wee to Cadet.

Whiteland will have about around our 15 or so club members there. I'm guessing this will be a bigger on since Perry usually puts on some pretty good tournaments. Let's hope for another quick starting well ran tournament.

Clark Pleasant is giving up about half of their weight classes. We only had 3 guys win matches, 1 by fall, two by decisions and a forfeit on our half.

Moorseville is one solid looking wrestling team. For the youngsters they are, they are very aggresive and like to go after you. Congrats on the win, you guys look like you work very hard in practice.

Whiteland wrestling club will be at Franklin. Last year was ran very well and went very smooth.

Hmm.. There is always Bdub's, love the boneless Mango Habenero wings. A new cajun place called J. Gumbo's, with lots of tasty adult beverages to choose from. Jimmy John's if you're in a hurry. I would say King David Dog's but they are only open Mon-Friday 11-4. Best hot dogs in Indy.
