Here is a story that I felt was worth sharing with the community that involved Bryce, I don't generally like sharing stuff involving my kids, but felt he deserved credit for this.
My middle son (8 years old) had lost in the state semi-finals, and was not handling it very well. We were in the cafeteria wrestling area, and he was having a "freak-out" (he needs to work on this) in the area behind the mats. I was trying to talk to him to calm down, but he was not registering what dad/coach was saying.
While this was going on a high school kid was passing through and asked me if he could talk to him.  The high schooler sat down with my son, and told him about how he had never placed at ISWA until this weekend, and he had won it today. He discussed how wrestling isn't just about wins and losses, but about progress.  This discussion caused my son to calm down, stop crying, and go on to wrestle the rest of his matches and place third. As he left I asked the high school kid his name, he said Bryce Denton.  I told him I had heard of him lol.
Anyhow I was really impressed with the maturity and kindness that Bryce showed this weekend. I had never met him. As a dad I was worrying what people thought of me/my son with the way he was acting, and Bryce was awesome in helping to calm him down and put things in perspective.  Also in my opinion it took a lot of bravery to ask a dad that you had never met to talk with his son in a situation like that.  Just wanted to share this and publicly say thanks to Bryce.  I was blown away with how impressive he was in this situation.

Someone keep me posted on what Faulkens has to say, I can't get in to play in rural Steuben County 

That's cap

Bring the State Tournament to Fort "Mini Indy" Wayne!!!
 
They are willing to change the hockey game!!!!

Get Faulkens to commit to Fort Wayne. We need to get Komet's Hockey to blank that date out.

There goes 3,000 people that will not be able to attend!!!
 
Ticketmasters' stock will take a big hit with all the money they will lose on ticket Fees!!!!

I love you, truly, but choo choo 😂🤣🤪

I guess I will make some bold predictions on weight class champs:
 
106 Ocampo 🔒
113 Cooper
120 Fielden 
126 Brady 🔒 
132 Doster 🔒
138 Lapsley
145 Teusch 🔒
152 Todd
160 Leech🔒
170 Arsini
182 Veazy🔒
195 Daring
220 Hinton
286 Hennessey

195 is likely the toughest field. 4 ranked semistate guys. That will be a battle.
 
170 final could be epic if seeds hold. 

No particular order. Remember these are predictions......don't hate, I saw last week lol! Some of these kids I haven't seen so just guessed on a few. I did pick a couple based on who should win a fight between their school mascots.

WOW can Tell Y2CJ41 isn’t coaching at Carroll haahaa. There wasn’t a single thread on the Carroll Sectionals! But here’s my take great day of wrestling as usual. Congrats to the Garrett program for continuing their dominance. Eastside brought the little guy fire pwr. Congrats to all the champions and everyone moving on. Glad to see Hayden Brady back for his last run. @220 I TOLD YOU SO!!!. So now their series is tied 6-6 career. 

Asking the wrestling community to keep Eastside in your thoughts and prayers as we lost Lane Burns to a tragic car accident last night.  Lane was an Eastside wrestler and was brought on to our high school coaching staff this year, we are absolutely heart broken.

You're wrong..without no explanation....no foot to stand on...allies gang up on me....Give me all the ammo..I'm probably going to get to party for at least half a decade...At least I talk stuff with reasonable backup....Andy trying to get me kicked off...If these predictions made you mad: think about next year.  Of course I don't mean you but you get me.  I'll put it out there: 2024 The Roar shall be fully restored.
