Shafer over Alexander by fall.  Heavyweight is going to be awesome this year at State.  Studs from all four semi states.

Nobody is talking about Filipovich at 195, but he's an absolute monster and I'll take him to win it all next weekend! He's pretty fly for a Thigh Guy, Jesus the kid looks like a NFL running back!

A lot of college kids start that way

Just left Semi-State East Chicago and I have to say the way Indiana does it’s state is a embarrassment considering how good Indiana wrestling is overall. I moved here from out of state and this is the absolute WORST way to determine who goes to state.
 
You have high level wrestlers going hone while below average kids go to state.  Is that what you want?  A watered down state tournament lacking quality?  Without seeding and a more importantly wrestle backs Indiana State is hollow!
 
I watched kids crying after close loses. NO KIDS should be crying off losing one match before state or at it for that matter.  It’s is an ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A SYSTEM!
 
Yes, my kid lost in a match that never should have happened putting the 5th ranked kid in the state with the 2nd ranked kid in the state in a death match with no wrestle back.  He lost a close match and that pisses me off.  He is a better wrestler than most kids actually going to state!
 
Howevee, even if he had won it would still be upsetting because a high quality kid goes homes while other kids move on that wouldn’t last 1 minute with either kid!
 
it is a disgrace!
 
 

220 Cinderella story for Jack Taylor continues beating Jordan to advance to the semi state title match!

That's impossible, like you witnessed there was no shame telling the kid who could've continued, to stay down.. They knew that match was gonna be a good one and took the easy way out...I'm all for taking our Losses with grace but that was beyond suspect, and the team mates laughing and cussing at BREVAN get it honest...I always respected Warren but the crap I seen today was ridiculous.. I'll get over it eventually but there was a lot of hard work pissed away in that moment..I train Brevan year round on my own in my garage and love him like my own and having to carry him up the stairs while he is balling his eyes out didn't sit well with me at all... Appreciate you speaking up and seeing what everybody else did.

Exactly my point, and I could hear it being encouraged! My guy came out ready to Wrestle...I don't want the kid to be injured, plus had there not been a point awarded to Pierson and that call made, I can almost guarantee he doesn't lay there and let Brevan punch his ticket or will his coach tell him to lay down.. The immediate HAND GESTURE to stay down was so obvious.. They didn't like seeing their guy get picked up and man handled like that and knew it wasn't going to be nothing sweet and took the easy way out..
 
idgaf what anybody thinks, I'll always ride with my guys and have their backs and WILL NEVER tell them to lay down.. Then have half of Warren laughing and cussing Brevan like They're tough guys ganging up on a kid that just for his heart broken... I'm a grown ass man and can take the criticism but the moment ppl wanna start crap with my boy then we have a problem.. There's not one person in this board that wouldn't feel the way I do about this matter.. And thousands of fans all agree, there was bs going on...
 
 
 

Edgewood’s deckard had two against Dalton in the round to go for the win. I’m my opinion the ref made a bad no call.

Pierson beats hooper 4-3, I rest my case.

Shameful.  Coaches should be ashamed

RE: Thrine v Pierson... the slams a judgment call (I’ve reffed some high level matches in the past, other states tourneys, I wouldn’t have called it a slam) but the coaches got up an immediately told him to lay down/stay down.  You can call it concern, there’s always that, but even if it was illegal, the dump wasn’t that bad.  Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.  I think it’s shameful to get up and immediately wave your hands in the motion to tell a kid to stay down.  

Could it be that maybe his coaches were concerned for him. It’s not like there’s ever been an athlete that got hurt but yet still tries to carry on. From the safety standpoint, it could’ve been the right decision to halt him until he could be evaluated. 

Thank you. We’ll be on the freestyle scene, and he’ll either wrestle or play football in college

Classy post, best of luck to yall

Just watched the Thrine / Pierson match.. well the 10 seconds of it. Thrine had a great double leg. Kid is strong! It borderlines slam to me but only because Pierson hung on and didn't go to the mat. If he would have bellied out would that have changed things? What constitutes a slam anyways?

Got slammed.

No no no.... clap it up for East Noble. Morris came in ranked 10th at 70 and has already beat Graden by 6 earlier in the year. Graden came to wrestle, and  Matt Morris did not. Good luck at State to him

I haven't seen it yet.  I will go watch it as soon as Warren is done

No problem.  I'm to old to get upset with anybody.
 

I just watched the video. I don't see it being an illegal slam. Crazy a kids season has to end that way. I remember several years back when Kiefer slammed McClosky (sp), the McCloskey kid did not want to win that way and forfeited the match instead. I think Thrine caught him by complete surprise with that takedown, but it's hard to imagine that being illegal.
