The 5 matches my 3 sons wrestled and won, the worst was the 1 match that was lost. Jim Hunt

Wikipedia says this about the region. Northwest Indiana, also known as The Calumet Region, or just The Region, comprises Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton, and Jasper counties in Indiana. This region neighbors Lake Michigan, and is part of the Chicago metropolitan area. Not only does Northwest Indiana include a large group of Chicago suburbs, such as Crown Point, Merrillville, Highland, Munster, Griffith, Schererville, Dyer, and St. John but also a number of cities whose economies are only loosely linked to Chicago's. The largest city in Northwest Indiana is Gary; other notable cities in Northwest Indiana include Hammond, Hobart, Portage, East Chicago, Valparaiso, and Michigan City. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Indiana

Mr Y2CJ41 I looked at your data and found the following statistics. The 7 largest schools in the state have a total enrollment of 24938 and in 11 years had 157 state qualifiers. To get close to the same enrollment you need to add up the 72 smallest schools that have a total enrollment of 24759, these 72 schools had 159 sate qualifiers in the same 11 years. Would you not agree that a small school wrestler actually has a better chance of becoming a state qualifier than a wrestler from the very largest schools? I Miss Indiana High School Wrestling
