Looking at it, Brandon James might be the most accomplished in all seriousness. He may have never won a title, but he was our first four-time medalist (3, 5, 2, 3) and he placed at every major tournament in the United States. He is also the only Indiana wrestler to defeat Chad Red during high school.

Brandon was on of Perry's best, no doubt. I do not know the specifics, but I believe Cody Lecount beat a list of studs when he was in high school, some from out of state.  I would bet someone else from Perry has that info.  I think most accomplished is still very subjective, so there will be differing opinions.

the Welch brothers (twins) were both in the finals.

I believe it was the mid-late 80's.  I believe there was a 400 pounder in 84 or 85, but when I graduated in '88 it was capped at 275.  I wrestled 98 pounds, so I do not remember which year it was.

Who do we have pulling some upsets? Great group of indiana hammers going.  

 

 

 

 

 

Little Rioux is not seeded?

Crown Point and Brownsburg wrestled TOUGH schedules, if neither school has an undefeated wrestler.

Dave Palmer Delta, without question, wins this weight class. 

Palmer vs. Howe would be the final, no doubt.  Both of these kids were on another level.

Carson Brewer is slated to be the starter again at 197 for Ohio U again. 
 

Slivka is moving up to the starting 165 spot. 
 

Pretty sure that they will be starting their seasons at the App State open in a couple weeks, followed by Navy Classic, then Cliff Keen out in Vegas. 

Carson didn't have a match yesterday?

Hockaday - I will go with my "seen most recent" bias (2 matches to 1)

Brooks - #1 in Nation? (2-0)

Leavell beats 120lb Wilson...not 130lb Wilson (2-1)

Micic - #1 in Nation(2-0)

Lee - #2 in Nation (not sure why Red isn't in for a mini-barcket) (2-0)

Tsirtis - #1 in Nation (2-0)

Mendez - #1 or 2 in Nation (2-1)

LeCount - Beat some of the best kids in the nation (2-0)

B. Lee - Exciting match, I think the gas tank wins it (2-1)

Slivka - Kid finds a way (2-0)

Hughes - at some point, he gets on top (2-1)

Rypel - #1 or 2 in Nation? (2-0)

Allred - #1 in Nation (2-0)

Parris - barn burner  (2-1)

Adams - Just a guess, but size wins over speed  (2-0)

Streck

If the people booing have spent more than a couple days in a real room and really knew what these kids go through, they would never boo. If they did wrestle and still boo, they clearly have forgotten what it takes just to make it through one tough practice. So.. for you boooers.. get off your fat a..es, go buy a pair of shoes, and try to do half a practice. I don’t mean sitting watching your kid. I mean actually try to do what these young kids do every day. Nothing like going to a tough youth practice and watching an old fat jerk ripping their kid on the way out. Those are your booers (for the most part).

#YouTryItFatA$$

I can attest to the fact that you truly do not know how hard practice is until you actually participate all practice.  Regardless, parents need to be better human beings, rather than boo ANY kid.

Looked good, but don’t think that was Montgomery.

Kyson was at 138.

Can't top @littlevito but 98 in '86 as a sophomore, 135 as a senior, now 205

Brad Traviola was well over 6ft as a 145 ponder in 1985.  I think he won state at 155 the following year.

pair these champions vs present

I feel like the top schools have tougher schedules nowadays.  Many schools are traveling out of state, so we do not have as many undefeated champions.  Because they have a loss, it does not mean they arent as good.  IMO

But you need to look at the guys in 2016, not what they did since after.  I think Asa as a freshman probably loses to Cernus.  I love Asa to death, as he is one of my wrestlers, but the reality is Cernus was pretty darn good. Were the tops kids from 2016 champs better, or have better careers, maybe.  I believe a better barometer would be the number of kids going to college to wrestle.  Is that number increasing or decreasing?  

Congrats to Coach Tonte and the Franklin Community program!  

This is an incredible pick up to keep the best IN kids.  I love the addition. 

Now, can he coach?  Lol

No predictions?

I see Laplace went from 145 to 182.  These are all big jumps (132-170, 182-220, 145-182)

Perry dropped in the rankings on this thread.  It was a much bigger deal when it was #2 vs. #4.  As #5, Perry gets to use it as even more motivation.  I think I smelling an upset...#norespect #underdogs.

For starters, Avon wrestles at home tonight against Zionsville at 6:30pm.

I like the idea of 15, but adding it to the middle of the lineup.

106, 113, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 170,182, 195, 220, 285

We have a problem. This kid just ran thru the 109 division at IHPO. He's not gonna be stopped. 

I thought Cotteu signed up.  He could have made a difference in the outcome.
