Please discontinue hating on Carmel’s wrestling program.  there is a history of many unsung heroes that devoted many hours trying to get that program better at wrestling - just like everybody else’s programs.
Thanks, Scott Kelly

Oh ok, I get it now since you used all caps lock. 🙄

First off I want to let everyone know I usually do not read threads on here and I just now signed up to be able to post because it sickens me to see these “likes” and comments! While I do not condone the issue of using plastics, I also do not  know the full story on what recently took place at Carmel High School, nor do any of you! It makes me sad that I see such negative comments towards my high school coach, knowing he has done SO much for many programs and for the state of Indiana. I am not going to sit here and tell you that I have agreed with everything Coach P has done, there have been times we haven’t seen things eye to eye.....But I am not going to forget everything else he stands for and the many improvements he has brought to the wrestling community in Indiana. Nobody is perfect! We all make mistakes, some more public than others. It saddens me to see so many people that have reaped the benefits of his presence in wrestling get on this thread and bash him and “like” derogatory comments about him. 
 
Coaching isn’t easy and dealing with most parents does NOT make it fun. One of the fundamental rules I live my life by is “never kick a man when he is down”. I will put aside my thoughts and opinions and I CHOOSE to reach out and anyone who is down I try to help them rise again and become better! One bad decision does not define you!!! It is when you are down you will find your true friends, I am here for P. Writing thoughtless posts on message boards while hiding behind a keyboard is also a great way to burn bridges ..... something else I try very hard never to do!

CP gonna the golden state warriors/New England patriots of Indiana wrestling 

He did the same thing at al smith, He picked Malone to win it. Needless to say we know who he really thinks will win.

Call me biased but I'm picking Whitaker vs Vanhorn match #6 in the finals @ 160.

Come on you can't pick against a pirate @160. Jakes going to be tough to beat.

Such a beautiful thing !!!

Here's my top 4-in order
106-Murphy Garcia Mills Cavanaugh
113-Cummings White Weaver Annakin
120-Hildebrandt Mulkey Langeloh Rooks
126-Hudkins Bailey Torres Meijia
132-Lee Red Molloy Black
138-Lee Coy Schrug Eldred
145-Laughlin Eichler Lee Vaughn
152-McCormick Pruitt Lawrence Herrin
160-Covaciu Warren Bane Garman
170-Hughes Baumgartner Walton Conejo
182-Rypel Damler Davidson Jones
195-Stewart Wilderman Kleimola Tonte
220-Parrish Woods Larson Ellis
285- Streck Galligar Perkins Clark

My Daddy told me I can stay home from school thursday and friday to watch the NCAAs...lol. He's gonna buy me a bunch of mountain dew and hot pockets. 

I mean i'm more than qualified to be a heavy weight....Streck better watch out...I crushed an entire tombstone pizza last night.....

Even though it gets pretty heated at times between merrillville guys and portage guys, both teams are friends off the mat and root for each other when not competing against one another.

Jacob Covaciu and Steven Lawrence going I to OT

I'd say Covaciu/Lawrence was the best, followed by Lydy/Harvey.
 
Had Lee and Cash been longer it would have been the best. It was still a great match but I wonder how it would have been late in the third had Lee bridged out of bounds.

Wow....extremely high level of wrestling by these two.
 
I understand why some guys get to the finals and wrestle conservatively or just wrestle not to lose, but these guys did the opposite and opened up and went after it. Hats off to them.

145 no question.  The match had lots of great action by both wrestlers.  I thought both really looked to score.  In the 120 match I thought one wrestler was pushing the action the entire match while the other was mainly blocking and being defensive.  The semis at 182 and 138 were very exciting as well.  Hats off to Mason Parris and Joe Lee for really bringing it as freshman.
 
As always, a great weekend.

I'll be updating these in the coming weeks.

Lake central kid beat Torres in the semis and then beat crary in the finals

CMA wrestled at Culver community last night, Krintz over Rodriguez 5-3 good match. They wrestled at 45 but both should be at 138 for tournament
 
U have them at 5 & 6, spot on RG!

Streck has a bearskin rug in his house. The bear isn't alive, it's just too scared to move.

There is a fella named Shawn Streck who is chiseled out of stone and eats broken glass sprinkled with gunpowder for breakfast lurking in da region.
