I truly have never seen the fear in Hall's eyes like that fateful day... It's what dreams are made of... Ramos who?

Nice resume, but my vote personally goes to any Indiana wrestler who can absolutely take it to Mark Hall and make him work for a comeback victory.

Not only Indiana's first ever hot trophy winner, he is the Michigan wolverines first ever Hodge trophy winner in their school history.

Don't you be trying to Jerry Springer up no  Trojan on Trojan Crime! Having coached both, The game plan would be, they step on the mat, walk to the center, toe the line and  shake hands.. Once that Zebra Call chrips, they immediately Turn to the crowd, and follow my Laser  pointer thats for multipurpose use, not only Giving them their Target , but more importantly, I'm blinding you with it!   They Tag team Your Rudy Perry PooAss,  then Hit you with the Dooms day device through a Flaming table leaving you in a Giant Heap of Ass whooped!!! 

Vaughn would rip my head off.  I was just a lowly state placer.  My only hope would be to try to get him DQ'd for stalling

I apologize to @aoberlin for being taller, better looking, smarter, and able to hit a slide by on him.
 
I feel better getting that off my chest.

We are good. I personally apologize to the General also for over reacting and making it public. It’s about the kids and I lost sight of that. 

As a casual observer with no skin in the game, I appreciate your contributions to the site.  My son is too young to be included in the high school thread, but I enjoy reading and learning about those that have had an impact on the sport and you are often the first person to mention someone from the area around the FW Semi State that I may have never heard of.  Some posts could be taken as coarse, but I usually take them as someone that is passionate about the sport and the area you are familiar with.  Keep being passionate and standing up for the wrestlers or the areas that may be underrepresented, your contributions are what make this site worth visiting on a regular basis.  I look forward to meeting you in person sometime.

I want to personally apologize to Andy Oberlin from The Fort Wrestling Facility for the DM I sent him on the night after Semi-State.  I want to also apologize for insinuating Andy is biased.  I also would like to apologize to the entire forum for my coarse words.  I'm competitive but I don't want my competitive nature to alter my character.  I will do better going forward.

Purdue’s Matt Ramos will be at Red Cobra tonight from 7-8:30 p.m. 
 
Don’t miss!!

I don't recall them doing this before, but they are running all 7th/8th Place matches at the same time on 4 mats.  I always thought they did 3 mats and all 3 placement matches at each weight together.  Am I nuts (in reference to this)?  Is this new? Update: Now they are doing all 5th Place matches at once.  Don't recall seeing this format in the past.
 
Other random thoughts...  I know Killian Cardinale was a past All-American but seeing 27 vs 28 seeds wrestling for 7th place is pretty cool.  Ventresca def Cardinale 7-6.

@133 - Sam Latona finished 7th to become a 2x AA.  Alabama doesn't produce many NCAA wrestlers and while I now live in AL, I haven't followed wrestling here beyond the surface.  But Latona is from about 10 minutes from where I live and Thompson HS is one of the few consistently top programs here.  Thought it was cool seeing a kid from here, where wrestling is an afterthought, continue to succeed.

Parker Filius did a nice job getting the win for 7th Place.  Purdue has had a nice tournament.

Congrats to Munster, Indiana's Eric McGill for officiating the NCAA Div. 1 Wrestling Championships!

So Jack Heldt (Wabash/Carmel) captured the D III national heavyweight title and Shawn Streck (Central Oklahoma/Merrillville) won the D II heavyweight title and now Mason Parris is the D I national champ. This is an unbelievable achievement. Indiana should be proud of these three young men. 
 
 

I almost left my shoes on the mat.....
 
But I couldn't bend over to do it, so they came home w/ me. 
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words, it was pretty cool and that's a good group of guys in that picture. All very supportive of each other and wrestling movement!
