So this is where the wrestle backs discussion has been hiding. I am for all the above. Super regional, more dual meets and less 2 days, and wrestle backs. Just so I understand if we take 5 to State. 4 wrestles 5 the first round. Then we have another round where 1 wrestles the winner of the first round. 2 wrestles 3. Or are you saying 1 gets a bye Friday night?
-
No offense to New Haven they have done a great job this year developing their wrestlers. They are pretty strong up top. My question would be are you smoking something?
-
This is how it works and the coach will not be allowed to coach sectionals.
-
All of these problems discussed are symptoms of a broken system. Doesn't take a genius to see that. So instead of wrestle backs the conversation heads towards no seeding. This is a flipping joke. The Napolean syndrome in me is starting to come out.
-
Oh you mean those passionate coaches that stand up and fight for the best seed for their kid? It is just horrible. One day out of the year. This stuff pisses me off. If we had true wrestle backs this would not be as big of a deal. But no we can't have that because the people in power like to show their power. So if a kid gets a 4th seed when they should have been 2nd or 3rd his season can be over if the other sectional has 2 studs. Ridiculous! But hey it is all about the kids.
-
Why do we even seed then? Why take more than one wrestler from any level? Why wrestle for placement? Let's have a total of 4 wrestlers in each weight class at state and be done with it Friday night.

Carroll (FW) Regional Picks/Predictions

It's going to happen. There is no way I can have a bad hair day! You on the other hand are hanging onto something that just isn't there anymore. -

Oberlin will be the best looking coach. -
I one time witnessed a parent get on this wrestling board and ask why their kid wasn't ranked.
-
In general I love the idea though.
-
??? Are you saying if you don't have any weigh ins left you can't wrestle in it?

I know a person.

There is plenty of data and proof that it is beneficial for boys to be older in school than younger for physical and mental development. A real good read if you are interested (I doubt you are) is the book "Boys Adrift". Since I have 3 boys I find this topic very interesting. I just think if you are going to hold your child back it shouldbe before he even starts school. Personally I flunked the difficult grade of Kindergarten (reading readiness) and I was old for my grade because of that, but if I would not have been held back I would have weighed 85 pounds as a freshman. My freshman year I still only weighted 95 pounds. Which would be why I will always fight for the little guy, I would like 103 to come back.

Gotta love the "I am a victim mentality". One reason I don't push youth tournaments that hard because some of the same people blindly attacking people and organizations are in the corner for some kid showing everyone how not to act. I have always found if you have a problem take it directly to them in a professional manner and not in a off handed passive aggressive way.

Scoring change idea- offensive and defensive takedowns
aoberlin replied to ENoblewrestling's topic in Past Discussions
I say 3 points for a body slam!!! DDT would only be 1. I think that is a defensive move. -
Fort Wayne Semi-State greatest wrestler ever

Tim Myers Bellmont He was 6th his Freshman year then, 1st, 1st, 2nd. -
I would have wore my banana hammock that way the protest would have been a little smaller.

Westview surprises me a little. I know their basketball program is great. But I always thought they fielded some decent wrestlers you would think one would sneak through over the years.
-
Yeah what he said!
-
I believe high school records aren't probably on his life long goals. I would say this, if he becomes as successful as there is a good chance he will in college put him at the very tip top. Remember Red was a Senior and he was a Junior. Who goes down as the best from Indiana if he beats him in college along with capturing a couple national titles?
-
Let's put it this way Angel is my favorite wrestler in high school and after. I am putting Nick in that category. Good luck Nick, looking forward to watching you at the next level. I am sure there are some wrestlers at 138 that are thankful.
