Any word on the Tell City young man that was injured. I think his name was Flynn??

You got someone to put a summary together like the others?

Navy80 - Thanks that is a great summary!

I think Zeneother beats Spicer and makes it out of the ticket round

I am to the point it will either be "Get Along" or "Get Out of THE REGION" ;D I DO have some of those Peanut Butter Cookies I would gladly give some of the posters here though! LOL You better bring those cookies and ski on Saturday - Because a coke and a candy bar is going to cost $9.00 at Roberts Stadium

BB - Great point wrestling is a rip your guts emotional roller coaster ride that's what makes it great. This isn't golf or sychronized swimming, plus all fans are inside a building very close to each other which adds to the intensity. I'm all for the sportsmanship side of things and respecting your opponent, etc., but this is first and foremost a contact sport and you can't have it both ways.

BB145 - You had some good picks during the Regional Pickems - Let's hear your thoughts......

You are right that 152 Bracket looks like a meat grinder. That whole bracket is loaded from top to bottom.

Did anyone else notice that Wedding & Mappes will hook up in the Semi's. It's ashame that draw worked out that way........ I think Tanner will win that one he is on fire right now and wrestling with alot of confidence....

I'm on board with your desire for sportsmanship and personally I disagree with your perception that the southern part of the state doesn't have it. I think we do!! On the other side of that you are going to see booing anywhere you go in our state or any other state it's human nature get over it and move on. Please correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you just on here a couple of weeks ago violating the rules you now propose?? Or was then something different and now you realize you might need some of us rednecks in a couple of weeks when you hit Center Grove?? Qoute from Grap41 on January 25th...... The dispute was over whether the wrestler really got hit in the eye. This has been called twice this year in matches that I have watched and both times it was late in the third period between these two wrestlers and called when the one went running backwards holding his eye. I think the timing of it happening two weeks in a row in the last seconds to get it to overtime is the reason it was so disputed. Good move on his part. I compare it to the punter that acts like he gets smashed into, so he can get a roughing the kicker call. As long as there will be new officials, he can use it again next week Could someone explain the slaps, pokes (intentional or inadvertent), and head butts being called for points. I have witnessed much disparity in officials calls this year. I understood that any intentional contact with the face was a technical violation (?) and a loss of a point by the slapper, pokey, or butter. Is this correct and could someone elaborate? I do believe Ritter was poked. Pettijohn is a very defensive wrestler that does keep his hands high and moving quite a lot. *************WOW************Are You Serious!!!! Ritter should get an OSCAR for that performance!!! There is no love lost between these two. Actually the animosity comes from the Reitz boy as last year he wanted to fight Petti in the parking lot after the match. We looked at the video from some of the parents and have come up with a new measurement. It seems that from now on, anything that falls in the six inch range (the distance Petti's finger was from his eye) is now and forever more to be called a Ritter. So next week in the Super Bowl when a team is a 1/2 foot from the goal line. The announcers should proclaim that they are a "Ritter" away from a touch down. Some of the Reitz assistants and some unnamed fans also showed a lack of whatever after the match. Totally Redneck in my opinion.....

I am sure Coach Harmon does laugh about it all...Not so much because it validates anything about his team, but more because it proves how petty and fickle people can be. Why worry at all about the little people? Even if there is an entire gym full of them? I have the qualifiers as follows: Castle 11 Mater Dei 8 Reitz 7 Mt Vernon 5 Memorial 4 Tell City 3 If I missed some - I apologize, can't always read my own handwriting! Bluebolt - I think MD had (9) SSQ. Appell Schroeder Henderson Weinzapel Sims Zenoether Easterling Boots Kercher

103 Kuhn is the top dog here. Too much for Hall. 112 Griesemer exiciting match. 119 A.J. made me proud 8) (Best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery are with Flynn on his injury in the semis) 125 Really still is too close to bet on between the two. Henderson today. 130 Seitz looks like he's wrestled all season. 135 Dehaven is truly peaking at a good time. Nice win. 140 Sims hung tough. Knows what to do to win. Expect him to continue to raise his level. 145 Still believe this is a tossup. Preston today. 152 Loaded class. Stein surprised me. He's looks much taller than the others. 160 Easterling brought his A game. A good win for the senior. 171 Wedding continues to be impressive. 189 Price with some big wins. Looked really good. Carlile surprised me also. 215 Robison still has the zero on the record. Impressive again 285 ZZZZZZZZZZZ Oh excuse me. I must of dozed for awhile there. ;D Whitey gets Borko this time. Pretty even. Team count for Qualifiers ( unofficial ) Castle 12 MD 9 Reitz 7 Mt Vernon 5 Memorial 5 I thought the for the most all of the wrestlers handled themselves very well. It surpises me that the Castle fans were so upset that they were being cheered against when your on top everyone wants to see you fall it's human nature. Boilergrappler - From my perspective of course I won't being cheering for Castle except at Team State, because they are respresenting the southern part of our state. I think Harmon brings alot of this stuff on himself with the way he acts. Could it just have been one sectional cheering against another??

Whats the Jeff match got to do with the question I ask you? And you are a LIAR he was standing next to me fella filming right behind the bench. Don't get on here and make stuff up this is where the big boys play. Don't put me together with the angryirishman I've done nothing but congratulate Castle and tell them I will be rooting for them at State. I simply asked an honest question since you supposedly were on the rail as you said which I also think you lied about. If you really witnessed a MD fan filiming the Jeff/Castle (which would be stupid since we were out of it at that point) match I would write your congressman or give the IHSAA a phone call. One last thing it wasn't the younger brother of the Welches (he is in the 8th grade) I know who he is this kid was high school kid the same one that filmed all day today. See what happens when you call me out, I bring it brother....

First of all as I said in a previous post Congratulations to the Castle Program I will be rooting for you guys at Team State!! The Stick - I have a question for you since you were on the rail as you said above. Why was the Castle camera kid set up on the Mater Dei side filming with an angle right behind our bench? I've tried to consider a logical reason why he would set up on the Mater Dei side and honestly I can't find one.

You lost me?? What are you trying to say??

JBoy - I gave you a Wahoo just becuase I've never seen anybody with -46 cool points......

Catfish: That is a real classy statement way to show your kids how to be humble in winning something special. Castle Wrestlers: Congratulations on great win. I will be rooting for you boys at team state!! The road is going to get tougher and you have to stick together.......

You keep that up and there might be some boo's in your future......

T - 3 1/2 hours - Best of Luck to all wrestlers. Battle your hearts out and stay healthy!!!

As I said in an earlier post it has been fun watch all four of these boys battle. I know everyone wants to win, but sometimes it just doesn't happen, but these guys bring it everytime and compete.

Well said a Wahoo for you!!!

Man your way off - We will see when they come to the table I hope Harmon has got his thinking cap on tonight....... By the way I disagree with all of your picks except 103........LOL

That was my point to the Tell City guy Wolf is really good. I think Henderson wins again now that he's pinned Rueger, but boy hasn't been fun watching these two guys go at it. I don't think Brown makes it out of the semi's. By the way I'm always rooting for the redhead........

Boiler: I look for MD to completly shake the line up and I agree with your opinion tonight will be all about momentum and were the dual starts. If I know nothing about MD kids they rise to the occasion time and time again, we've got MD people on here challenging the kids leadership and fire, those kids will rise to that challenge and take it head on. My money is on MD. ;)

Didn't Meurer from Mt. Vernon pin Wade earlier in the year; and for Boots to beat Choate Boots has to first beat Georges Boots is pretty darn good. He beat Choate at Sectionals. Not sure if he's ever wrestled Georges. Boots hasn't wrestled Georges during the regular season, maybe they've wrestled during the offseason. Boots is peaking at the right time, just coming off a big win against Choate.........
