I wasn't around to witness it, but the story is legendary...Hugh Waddington LN v. Brian Johnson BG. Somebody who was around, please elaborate on the series. I believe it will be hard to top.

I guess with a chin like that, we shouldn't expect anything less.

I agree, I hate seeing the losers wrestle! I want a super sectional of 32 teams, with on the champ surviving. Then the champ advances to state with only 8 qualifiers for state. Y2, is someone using your screen name? This doesn't sound like the guy that is in it for the kids or the sport. I HATE SEEING LOSERS WRESTLE???? I can't believe that you would write something like that. The beautiful thing about wrestling is that hard work, determination and having the mental toughness to get back up and fight harder next time ALWAYS levels out the playing field. Let em wrestle!!! Combine the sectionals!! Wrestle till midnight!! They should have FULL wrestle backs at semi state...I'll stay at the colleseum all night long if my kid has a shot. Why do you think they have the wrestle back format for NCAA set up the way it is? SO THOSE LOSERS CAN WRESTLE. I'm sure that you are one of the guys that go have a bite to eat and a cold beverage during consolations. That's where some hard fought ALL AMERICANS are made. Same goes for our high school wrestlers. And, if you say the quality of wrestling at some of the regionals is WATERED DOWN, I'll lose it! Get these kids some mat time, get these kids opportunities. No matter what the level.

He didn't look comfy on his feet AT ALL!

Aw yeah, Rob Millers headlock CANNOT be disputed. Chris Snyder from Mishawaka had a pretty dangerous headlock though. And when you talk about cradles, didn't John Lile-Decatur Central have a nasty cradle? I remember Chris Lytle and Josh Dant had some legs that were hard to defend too. Cameron Smith could lateral drop anyone from anywhere if he felt like it...seen him do it from his butt before.

This doesn't sound like you are JUST trying to get some arguments started, you sound VERY opinionated about going back to the 12 man bracket at semi state. Ridiculous? No. There may be SOME arguements against the new format, but it's not RIDICULOUS by any means. More wrestlers get another week of competition, bigger gates at SemiState...it's far from ridiculous. I'm not just saying this because our only qualifiers were 4th place finishers at regionals, but it makes sense to me. And, I guarentee that there is AT LEAST one 4th place finisher at regionals that moves on to state. Wanna wager against it?

Doesn't he wrestle at Mt. St. Joe College in Cincinatti now?

Will Hill had a huge fan base from EMD especially after beating James Brimm of Evansville Central in (I believe) 95 state championship semifinals. I ended up meeting his cousin who went to USI a year later pretty cool dude. It's always nice to have EMD on your side Both Will and Vernon were both class acts. I happen to be sitting near the EMD section of Market Square Arena that year and just about needed ear plugs when they went nuts over Will beating Brimm.

Ditto, but I want it to go on record that I am excluded from the knucklehead comment...Terence beat on me everyday my senior year in high school.

I'm sure that Head Coach Jason Warthan has a lot to do with CN's success. Theres no doubt that his hard work and character has rubbed off on those wrestlers.

If you are including Hanover Central, Hobart and Merriville in the Region, it would only be fair to allow teams like Avon and Carmel to be thrown in the mix. I would even go as far as to say that Fishers, Mount Vernon and maybe Pendleton would be included. Merriville and Hanover are just as far from the Region as Fishers, Fortville and Pendleton are from Indy. Good topic though, especially this year.

I love the sport and have enjoyed growing as a coach but I'd much rather just be DAD.

Monrovia Toby Turner David McCubbins LC Will Hill Vernon Cannon Beech Grove Steven Bradley Tim Bradley two years apart though Decatur Central James Levell Chad Kerr LN Case Hooper Rob Miller Deuce Deckard Brandon Ingalls two years apart

What a great poll!!!! I need more stats though. What's the skinny on individual SQs and placewinners at LN? I'm sure they are impressive too. They were my first pick when I saw the topic. I'm votin for LN. Bellmonts numbers are also WAY up there. I wouldn't think the other teams on the list would be able to come close to those two but I'd like to see em.

Ben Davis Help me out here if you can, especially at 103, 119 and HWT and I did bump Schabel up a weight class. 103 - ? 112 - Norrell (Herbie) Taylor - 3rd 119 - ? 125 - Terrance Randolf - Champ 130 - Gary Burtrum - Champ 135 - George McCool - 2X Champ 140 - Rudy Dotlich - Champ 145 - Cameron Smith - 2X Champ 152 - Tony Schabel - Champ 160 - Steve Reid - Champ 171 - Eugene Kappel - Champ 189 - Tim Mongon - Champ 215 - John Berry - Runner Up HWT - ?

Ahh, but can you claim Eddie Baxter? NIce little controversy there. He finished up at BD. And, was Satterfiled at 119 the same Satterfield that played QB at Warren?

I only had 11 show up to our first middle school practice but they are up to 19 now. A little low for us, we are usually up around 25 or so. I had 68 K - 5 at our school corporation camp for a week and 15 or so are still wrestling with our County club which is up to 72 kids. I think that for the most part interest in the sport is growing in the area up here, we gotta just keep doin what we do and hopefully produce some quality wrestling up here in the Miami, Wabash, Grant county area. There are some good coaches around here doing some good things and some kids that seem to be buying into it.

I was thinking the same thing. Cathedrals gym isn't THAT big. What's its capacity?

He took 6th at the Marion invitational. Not sure who he wrestled, but the Marion kid is a solid senior, amd OH kid is a solid freshman. 1st/2nd: Chris Herring (Marion) Dec. Bo Ketring (Oak Hill) 6-2 3rd/4th: Justin Louck (Southwood) MDec. Dylan Hettinghouse (Tipton) 11-0 5th/6th: John Horner (Eastern) DFLT Trevor Williams (Wabash) 7th/8th: Casey Cyr (Western) won by Forfeit (Eastbrook) Mockdad: thanks And Trever Williams lost to Herring in an Ultimate Tiebreaker, he was hurt during the match and defaulted the rest of his matches that day.

Go Hounds

Wow, thats awesome.

The pools will be different next year but some things will stay the same. I believe S Wells and Heritage requested to be in the same pool because of Conference matchups. Same thing goes for Wabash and North Miami, we don't see each other before conference so they will remain in our pool. Fairfield and Northridge see each other earlier in the year and prefer to stay in opposite pools. Same thing goes for Wabash and Tipp Valley. I apologize if I offended anyone with the match ups, I would be happy to listen to any suggestions. I promise they will be different next year. I think the best team won the tournament and there were some good individual mathcups all day long in both pools. Isn't that what counts?

Now. now...no need to get the IHSAA involved.
