Mooresville regional and it's not even close.. Over 40 state ranked guys with all but 170 having at least 1 ranked guy and 9 classes with at least 3 state ranked guys, and multiple with 5 ranked... Go over to the mooresville thread and read Garcias run down it's unreal.

Was on our Team state Finals shirts us guys made and on the back Ol'Cunt'ry Buffet cuz that was our real Celebration we all was pumped about, after we took 5th in Center Grove, unfortunately we got trampled by one those Legendary EMD teamsin 02 that had around a dozen current or eventual  SQ/placers.. Their JV Would beat tons of teams  and numerous state champs/runner ups,  Weinzs,coughlin,Nosko, Mauer,Macke,Conkling then other studs like  Scott,Bittner, Williams,Riggs,Lehman,Dosherand I'm sure I'm forgetting a few...imagine being the 11th best guy in your line up and you made it to state lol! We still hold the biggest L in dual  state history 66-3..We had 6 SQ and 3 placers on that squad  and  8 SSQ and got merked that bad lol..Mauer was a blur, never in my life did I get that embarrassed. Those EMD teams were disgusting.

Yessir, my old memory bank  just spewed out that detail I just remembered... Coughlin was one of best the states ever seen... He beat Jerry Gordon in 04 in qtrs on his first title run , Gordon had beaten me in a war the year before in the ticket round.. Coughin was one of those guys that could pull out a bit move anytime he needed and very very technical.

I personally gave Coughlin the slight edge over Blake, but that’s just one man’s opinion and that I didn’t know. I remember Weinzapfel throwing shirts to his back and giving him his biggest scare in his high school career, but didn’t realize Cough got him in FS!

Coughlin and Mauer WERE until Nick... Coughlin beat Tsirtsis in FS too back then when he was thought to be untouchable... He was unreal though, closest thing was seeing him getting rode for whole period by Joe Schrock iirc..

I made the argument Coughlin was MD’s best wrestler I’ve seen up until Nick Lee. No slight on the other MD Mt. Rushmore guys! 

Only time I seen Jagger's pinned, he  was up on Coughlin and got bulldogged!

Sarah Huse didn’t know it, but she needed wrestling. Once she found it, her life has changed for the better.
 
“Everyone has their own sob story, I guess,” Huse, a senior at Lebanon High School, said. “But it’s what you do to overcome that story that matters.”
 
In 8th grade Huse struggled with her weight, and her confidence. She was 245 pounds, and according to her, still trying to figure out who she wanted to be.
 
So, she started trying to get in better shape. She took up dance, which helped with her flexibility and balance. Then, as a sophomore, a friend talked her into going out for wrestling. That’s where Huse started to make her mark.
 
In just three years she has went from a beginner, to a two-time state champion with multiple college offers. She is also this year’s Indianamat Miss Gorilla award winner, which recognizes the best senior female wrestler in the state.
 
Huse has pinned every single opponent through the IHSGW tournament for two consecutive years. This year she defeated Northview’s Mercedes Tellechea in the championship, pinning her in just 1:09 to win the 170-pound class. Huse also took home the Katie Downing Mental Attitude Award.
 
“When I started winning in wrestling is when I started feeling my best, mentally,” Huse said. “I was finally able to look myself in the mirror and be proud of who I am.”
 
When Huse first started wrestling, she was nervous to tell her family. Her dad, J, wrestled collegiately, but she wasn’t sure how he would react.
 
“I waited a few weeks before I told my family I was wrestling,” Sarah said. “When I finally told them, I think they thought I was kidding. When they found out I wasn’t kidding, my dad has been in my corner helping coach me ever since and my mom is always in the stands watching and cheering me on. When I get my hand raised, I always look to find her in the stands. That’s my favorite moment in wrestling.”
 
In addition to winning the individual title, Sarah also led Lebanon to the school’s first girls state team championship.
 
The team title is what Huse said she is most proud of, and coach Jeremy Goodlett knows she had a huge part in the Tiger’s success.
 
“Her attitude and work ethic are infectious with the other girls,” Goodlett said. “When we went up to the Penn tournament, we only had four girls go, because half the team was quarantined. She couldn’t go, but she woke up early and came and saw the girls off on the bus. She wanted to do a prayer session before everyone was going to wrestle. She was Facetiming girls after they got off the mat, giving them critiques and pointers and trying to encourage them.”
 
Huse said she wanted to win state as an individual, but she wanted even more to win the team title.
 
Huse regrets not getting involved with wrestling at a younger age. She said it has now become such a big part of her life.
 
“If I were to give advice to younger girls thinking about wrestling, I’d tell them you can’t be afraid to work for something,” Huse said. “It’s going to be hard, but you’re stronger than you believe and when you put your heart and work into it, it will be worth it.”
 
On the mat Sarah is an aggressive wrestler that likes to hit the single-leg takedowns. She’s 6-0 tall, so she uses her length to her advantage.
 
“She is always on the attack,” Goodlett said. “She is not a defensive wrestler. She is in your face. She’s going to club your head, snap you down and go for inside singles.”
 
Outside of wrestling Huse wants to go into the medical field. She is a good student with a 4.0 GPA. She loves hanging out with her teammates, going out to eat in the offseason, sledding in the winter and going to the Bible study her and her teammates started.
 
“Sarah is a very hard-working, fun-loving and caring person,” Goodlett said. “She is the type of person that no matter what type of day you’re having, she can make you smile or laugh. As a wrestler, she’s a coach’s dream. She’s a practice junkie and she’s always learning and trying new stuff. That will be important for her because she has little experience with freestyle, and that’s what women’s wrestling is in college.”

That's against the law on so many levels let alone morally screwed up.. Being a coach is challenging enough, without having to defend your character over something like that.

Getting a lawyer involved is spot on, it happened with a kid this year, a kid was denied eligibility due ruling he transferred for athletic reasons, appealed and lost, next step, get a lawyer and make up some absolutely absurd story that the coach injured him which is why he transferred and boom just like that you are eligible........now the coach is under fire for something that never took place.......unbelievable 

The IHSAA is a self reporting organization. They are not looking for violations. Almost EVERY IHSAA violation is self reported. 
 
Going through the process with a kid last year I learned a lot. If both schools agree on the eligibility status then about 99.9% of the time the IHSAA only puts a rubber stamp on it. It is only when one of the schools disagrees with what the other school is offering in terms of eligibility. If the athlete does not like the ruling they can appeal to the IHSAA. If that appeal does not go in their favor they can go to the DOE for one final appeal. 

I just drank some adult beverages with a few of those fellas not too long ago. All good guys and yes they were ultra talented. I graduated 02 so I definitely know that team well and never went to team state, but about 10 or so individual state finals.

Mooresville regional and it's not even close.. Over 40 state ranked guys with all but 170 having at least 1 ranked guy and 9 classes with at least 3 state ranked guys, and multiple with 5 ranked... Go over to the mooresville thread and read Garcias run down it's unreal.

I like that!

IVe never seen better bomb bursting in midair type  wrestling than the Logansport regional.   Thats a show in a show.  Its like the fireworks show after the Grateful Dead concert in the hollywood bowl.   Theres a reason nobody wants to go through Logansport,  and its not because the state mental hospital is there.   Wrestling is almost as good as the Jay County regional.  Just my humble opinion.

Youth involvement is KEY when building a program, when I was growing up my pops and Coach Helm had 40+ kids at Avon wrestling 2-3 nights a week, I graduated with 5 kids who I had wrestled with since we were pre middle school, it is pretty cool to look back and see the bonds and relationships I made over the many years in gyms all over the state and country!

Crazy thing is Mooresville is missing
Miller,  street,  and P. Hanes 
Will nix of Martinsville 
Brooks of whiteland 
And im not sure what happend to Mills of Center Grove
 
Basically its already the toughest regional in the state and it could be worse.
 
And the next few years... Center Grove, Brownsburg, and Avon get better... which is crazy.
 
Monrovia and Cascade both keep improving. 
 
Franklin has a legendary coach... they will be consistent. 
 
Whiteland and Ben Davis are both big schools with young coaches that wanna grow.
 
I know this year is a "realignment year" so things could change... but I feel this regional is gonna be hard for along time to come

Oops blame Garcia he didn't list him, I think he's losing his edge🤣

Exactly, trample the weak, hurdle the dead!

You're doing great things at BD brother and you are a great mentor to your team!

I train kids at my house and at club, they're going great with getting big numbers in youth program coming out, that's so crucial in building a program.
