    Can't say how great it is to read this! Go Gelen!!

    If you look closely at the larger brackets, it's clear that some of the sectionals are giving bye in the first round to #1 and #2 wrestlers and putting the unseeded wrestlers to face each other first. It may not be proper protocol, but unofficially they are taking care of the issue

    I took a few minutes last night to look through some of the larger brackets to find some examples of where I feel like the unseeded losers of the rattail matches should have a chance to fight back for 3rd/4th and a spot at regionals. Yes, I realize that in the grand scheme of things an unseeded wrestler probably isn't going to be a state qualifier, but realize that for some of these kids a trip to Regionals would be their season goal. Tough to watch another wrestler with a 2-14 record have a second and maybe third round match while you are out after one. Ok, if you want to, take a look at these (please don't take these personally if it is your son. I am just comparing records, it's not personal): Castle Sectional, 145 lb bracket A wrestler with a 4-0 record draws into the #1 seed in the first round. If he loses, he's done. Two other wrestlers with records of 16-5 and 18-10 have to face off in the first round. One of them is done Meanwhile a freshman with a record of 1-10 draws a bye in the first round. Even if he loses his next match, he gets to wrestle for placement and Regionals Carroll (Ft Wayne) Sectional, 220 lb bracket Wrestler with 25-9 record is drawn to wrestle the #1 seed in the rattail match. One of them (let's say the #1 seed loses to this wrestler with a clearly good record) is done for the season without a chance to compete for 3rd/4th Hamilton Heights Sectional, 132 lb bracket Wrestler with 18-6 record is drawn to face the #1 seed (who must have come back from injury? with a 1-0 record). The 18-6 wrestler (if he loses) does not get a chance to wrestle for a probably more appropriate 3rd/4th place. He is forced to beat #1 or he's gone

    My understanding of it is this -- the top 6 seeds are separated traditionally on a bracket. The remaining open spots are randomly selected from among the remaining wrestlers to fill. So the byes have an equal chance of being rewarded to the #1 through #6 wrestlers

    Here's the major issue I have with the current sectional bracketing: Sectional A -- 11 participating schools, 3 wrestlers are 1-and-done. If they lose the "rat-tail" round then they are out Sectional B -- 8 participating schools. Essentially wrestle-backs for the entire field I wouldn't mind if they keep the random seeding for #7 through #11, but give them a chance to still compete for the top 4 if they lose that first round

    Prayers for the Konrath family! Hope for a miracle, and we will see Paul at sectionals
  10. base
    Yeah, except at regional Perry Meridian is added to the mix!

    Is Konrath dropping to 113 for Sectionals, or will he remain at 120?

    Purdue lost a match to #7 ranked Penn State over the weekend (I *think* it will be replayed on Big 10 network this week) but even in losing, there were some bright points. - Penn State won 7 of the 10 matches. However, a few of the Purdue losses were by narrow margins. - Danny Sabatello continues to have a great season, shutting out Penn State's Jimmy Gulibon 6-0 - No. 20 ranked Doug Welch defeats No. 7 Dylan Alton in overtime. Another victory over a top-10 opponent after he defeated Nebraska's James Green earlier - Patrick Kissel loses by 1 point to No. 16 ranked Matt McCutcheon. Kissel defated a ranked wrestler from Northwestern earlier in the week. He's right there with some of the lesser ranked guys - Another match that Purdue could maybe, possibly have won -- they chose not to wrestle Braden Atwood against Morgan Macitosh. Not sure why the decision was made and also not sure Atwood could handle Macintosh, but would have been a good match More kudos to Purdue's new coaching staff. With a solid recruiting class slated to come in next year, hopefully they are attracting the attention of some more high school studs and will continue to gain positive momentum.

    Many programs winding down leading up to sectionals in 2 weeks? What tournaments or duals are around the state this week? Any good matchups?

    I am guessing that the supper duel will be pistols at 20 yards, just a short while after lunch? :-P

    Put a college-level coaching staff and partners together with a wrestler of Gelen's athletic ability -- I am excited to see what he can do! Quality wrestling partners make all the difference, and there wasn't really anybody other than maybe Sliga that could push Gelen in HS

    Tournaments? Duals? Name the teams that will be present if you know them!

    IndianaWrestlingGuy -- Can you break down how the scoring works?

    Did he seriously quit mid-season or is this a joke?

    Just curious, what Indiana wrestlers have beaten Chad (I know none in HS season) in either middle school or summer seasons?
  21. base
    I agree - if Hudkins is healthy he would be my pick. What happened to him? If he is not 100% then I would go with Reitz as a second pick

    Schools commonly cancel school due to extreme temperatures in the early morning, but continue to have athletic events the same night. I think the call on the athletic events is at the discretion of the AD

    Congratulations Chad Red Jr and Sr!

    What's going on this week?? Any good dual meets? What tourneys are going on this weekend??

    Red has won against all competition at his weight class. I do not blame him for wanting to finish his HS career undefeated and 4 time state champ. The list of undefeated wrestlers is very short -- did Lance Ellis ever bump up just to test himself against the state's best in another weight? Maybe, but I don't know. All I know is that he finished undefeated over 4 years. It doesn't lessen his accomplishment, nor should this lessen Chad Red's record so far and at the end of his 4 years.
