I already said this is another thread, but I think the match will be a lot closer this time. CP has improved immensely since the Traicoff. Some of their lesser known guys have really stepped it up and turned into quality wrestlers.
-
Crown Point will wrestle Mishawaka a lot tougher than they did the first time, that I can guarantee. I'm not saying they are going to win, but it will be closer.
-
I believe that the IHSAA has stated that the whole point of Team State is to declare a champion, nothing more. With that goal, there is no reason to seed the tournament. That being the case, it is really hard to declare a true runner up. I would prefer it to be seeded and have a 3rd and 4th place match, but I can see how the IHSAA might say that is asking too much. Plus, you would have a hard time seeding the tournament. Take this year for example, who would be the #2 seed? There are at least three teams that have a good argument for it. The way it is right now isn't perfect, but it avoids a lot of problems.
-
Way to go Bulldogs!! Time to go show Mishawaka how much better you have gotten. Props to DevilDog for providing the updates.
-
I am sure he was sick or something. They would not take him out on purpose, unless it was a disciplinary thing. But I wouldn't even want to speculate.
-
I got excited for a minute. I thought I was going to see a Napules vs. Tsirtsis matchup.
-
Yes, that is what I was thinking of.
-
It would be a shame if it worked out that way, but it has happened before. (Didn't a state champ lose in the ticket round at Merrillville once?) Hopefully Hawkins wins and it won't even be a possibility (CP guy here), but it would still be a shame if either Gregory or Bradley don't even make it down state.
-
Didn't Merrillville have a couple wrestlers injured at the DAC tournament? Are those wrestlers back in action for tomorrow night?
-
Just scanned this topic and I cannot believe that anyone would condone with this coach is alleged to have done. I also cannot believe someone can make the FFT in the final match of an already decided dual meet analogy with a straight face. If you can't see the distinction there, then there is no hope for you.
-
Clever idea, but you wouldn't feel bad for taking away three reservations from the restaurant?
-
Hawkins over Bradley and King over Kral, huh? Interesting.
-
It is posted with the rest of them.

CP v. Merrillville and then whoever wins against Portage....now that's a tough regional!
-
Haha! Weren't the CP brackets the last to come in last year too?
-
Video broadcast of Portage Team Regional?
Merlyn replied to broadcastsport's topic in Past Discussions
I think that would be a great idea! -
No offense to Butler, but who in the region gives a darn about Butler?
-
Ok, but is that correct? Here are the draws for the Portage Regional: 1. Portage, 6 pm CT Match 1: Winner at East Chicago Central vs. Winner at LaPorte. Match 2: Winner at Crown Point vs. Winner at Calumet. Championship: Winner of Match 1 vs. Winner of Match 2. Wouldn't that mean Crown Point has Merrillville then the winner of Portage vs. Munster (assuming those teams win their sectional)? I thought Merrillville went to the Calumet sectional, Portage went to the LaPorte sectional, and Crown Point obviously goes to the Crown Point sectional. Am I wrong?

Where did I say anything negative about coach Maldonado? I did not, and would not. The "second coming" remark was made because one of the earlier posters almost literally compared him to Jesus (something about turning grape juice into wine --which I think is how you do it anyway, but I doubt that's what he meant -- go look for yourself; at least that's how I took it). I thought that was a little overboard. That post was the one I was directly responding to. I am not jealous at all--I actually think Merrillville's program is outstanding. I think you might be looking too far into what I said. Just take it at face value. I am sorry if you misunderstood what I said. I was really just pointing out that there are other great coaches in the region who deserve credit too, and I just thought the "grape juice into wine" comment was inappropriate. It is certainly possible I just misinterpreted that comment, in which case I apologize. Perhaps I should have taken a different approach and credited other region coaches, but I did not want to get into a "my coach is better than your coach" debate. Trust me, I didn't mean to demean anyone. I will just end this by saying good luck to all the region teams. I have a lot of respect for all the wrestlers and coaches out there. In fact, it is probably impossible to give any of them too much credit. Again, I apologize if my approach was wrong and I just want you to know I meant no disrespect. Many of your points are well taken. I will be more careful with my posts from now on.

Don't get too cocky, CP fans. Everything went CP's way in the dual against Merrillville, and Merrillville was missing a couple of their top guys at the conference tournament.
-
I think it's because they have 8 new varsity wrestlers, and I think only 3 seniors.

White singlets are ugly, not to mention the fact that you can see right through them. I would avoid white singlets at all costs.
-
I don't think any team in Indiana could get that close to Mishawaka.
-
CP fan here but I am going to agree with you.
