This is currently being solved. Not that I want to not give information, but I also don't want to give information out prematurely. But we have been working with FW Coliseum to see what we are capable of and also finding schools that would be good host schools if they are not capable of meeting our needs. Should have answers very soon.

Put two 9's together.

It will definitely be a discussion at the IHSWCA clinic tomorrow and Friday. I think it will be a huge benefit to talk to other coaches, but to also see what kind of guidance Robert Faulkens may provide. We have talked about these groups of 4 pods at our schools, but even then my admin mentioned how they couldn't be around each other in the locker room, at meets, on the bus etc for contact tracing. Nearly an impossible position.

My favorite post in a long time is hearing a dedicated wrestler trying a different sport! it’s what we preach to other sports to come try wrestling. If nothing else, the mental, break will be nice for him.

The fall to winter thing really just won’t work I don’t believe, unless you were to do like October, November, December for Fall sports. January and February are just too cold for outdoor sports. Winter to spring makes sense, And spring to summer, but I don’t know how fall sports will work in winter.

The vote took place Monday evening: 4A (Did not require a vote as the 2 teams were so far ahead in points) Carmel Avon 3A Roncalli 2A Boonville Norwell 1A Southmont South Adams It's going to be an exciting tournament.

The last I checked, The IHSWCA vote was 17% of coaches wanted it reduced to 13 weights.

All the teams that are being considered for the final two spots were asked to send a report to our data collection guy. He puts all of the information together and sends it back to our panel of coaches who have looked over the "resumes". In a few weeks, the panel will vote on the final teams after discussions.

I talk about this rivalry every year to my team... Clark beat Macke by something like 14 at MD Classic. Then like a major at semi-state. Then 1 at state. Then Macke beat Clark at Team State. Maybe my memory is rough at this point, but I'm pretty close there I know.

To be fair, Girls State is not an IHSWCA event.

No one has contacted me from New Castle. Can you send me the coach’s email? I emailed the AD.

Invitations sent out today. So far no declines. That doesn’t mean there won’t be some, but half said yes within 5 hours. This situation happened a few years ago when team state was on a Saturday and then all the holiday tournaments were just three days later. A goal is still to get this to be the following weekend in future years, but the venue (or anything comparable) and officials were not available for January 9.

This was brought up in surveys to IHSWCA members in the past and didn’t receive great support amongst any size school surprisingly. The IHSAA looks for high numbers of support amongst members for proposals (80% and above really). The numbers were not close to being proposal worthy.

I don’t know what is right here, but I would find it hard to believe that a class system that puts schools of 700 together with schools of 4000 seems right. I guess if I were to buy into class system, that seems like too much of a disparity.
