Yes, again my firm stance is on multiple lineups, not adding up to 2 extra wrestlers. The 2 extra rule seems intriguing, but is not one I have fully formed an opinion on yet.

Yeppers.... My poor JV State Place winner just can't make the Varsity lineup because our school is so good.  We need to change the rules.  😆

Well said.  Just because some schools have more depth than others does not mean those schools get to enter more kids.  Not done in other sports.  Kids like to change schools all the time.  I guess if the kid is stuck on JV, enter the Hight School transfer portal.

Thanks Tanner.

I saved all the videos I found in the program. I’ll go through and see what I can produce this week

If no one else associated with your team recorded it your best bet maybe to try to get in contact with the family of the other schools coach or your opponent.  I can’t recall how laxed the arena was with fan recording devices but they would likely be the only ones that may have captured it.  As mentioned by Maligned I don’t think anything but the finals was officially saved by the IHSAA. 

The finals are definitely archived from that year. The challenge is matches from other rounds.

Contact the IHSAA. should be archived.  I got my uncles 1984 finals match.

Actually I do get a little salty when someone makes unnecessary comments about an area they don't have a clue about especially if they aren't around here trying to help. I don't need to do research, I live it every single day. Trust me on this, I know how it all works in the background with youth wrestlers and how schools are chosen. I hear things first hand and I wasn't being totally sarcastic. I think sooner or later things like that will have to happen in our area if we expect to compete at all on the team level.  
 
But... as Galagore said what truly is the goal of this sport? If those second stringers are that good then have them and their parents go to a smaller school and help build the culture there and get even more kids involved in the sport. If you are talking wrestlebacks and spreading out the talent pool then you need to do the research on what the wrestling community has been trying to do for decades. The bottom line is the IHSAA cares about 1 State Champion and making sure the population of wrestlers are spread out. They don't try to shift powerhouses to appease the greats and I don't disagree with that.
 
If it is so difficult there and easy here please feel free to let anyone know we would welcome everyone that would like to move to Northeast Indiana for the easy path but we would also appreciate help with coaching and building the area.
 

I tried to be as sarcastic as I could in my post!!😆

I know we have quite a few in this area that can right now and we are building!!! 

hopefully one day the North can compete with the elite from the south

Dude. Pine Lake is a huge selling point. Hit that thing twice this summer.

We are well aware that we have work to do and TBH we need to get on the bandwagon and start recruiting and getting all the good kids to the same school to start creating powerhouses. But as of right now we aren’t doing that. No matter if you think this statement is true or not there is much more that goes into it all and personally I find it rude. But hey it’s the internet say what you want. Don’t worry though we always know who makes what statements.
 
Also it is “too bad” and not “two bad”.
 

I love how we now refer to a high schooler going to another school as a pick up. How many more years before we have a high school portal?

I'll start house hunting for any stud wrestlers that want to move to Berne.
