Congrats to Mason Parris and Nick Lee for earning the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week! 7 times our state has claimed the honor with Dillon Lydy and Graham Rooks each earning it twice along with Parris, Nick Lee and Brayton Lee. It's nice to see our state being recognized for our accomplishments. Let's keep it going and do some damage at Big Tens and NCAA's!!!

Portage High School graduate Steven "Bam" Lawrence has signed his letter of intent to wrestle at NAIA powerhouse Grand View (Iowa). After finishing as a 2x JUCO All-American at Ellsworth (Iowa) he will look to continue his career with the 7x defending national champion Vikings. Thanks for representing Indiana and Portage proudly and wishing you continued success!

Listening to the mat 2 announcer is like listening to my drunk uncle get everyone's name wrong....Irritating!!

Kris Rumph was a takedown machine tonight! Was glad to see him and his quickness back in offensive mode. Very impressive weekend!

With it just stating to be noticed I don’t think it has a lot to do with it yet. But even a little bit more participation helps the overall number. Well see over the next few years of the number stay or go up as the new uniform gets more exposure.
I feel aside from the uniforms, we are seeing the result of the increased number of youth wrestling programs that have stemmed from the great wrestlers and programs this state has produced in the last 10-20 years.

Gaige Torres definitely needs to be mentioned. 2x runner-up with losses to Chad Redd and Brock Hudkins. Nothing to be ashamed of. Who knows how he would have done his sophomore year if it wasn't for the controversial dq illegal slam at semi state. Great career.

Vega and Shaefer in 97 wasn't about their accolades but more about their personal rivalry. In 95 Vega beat the number one ranked kid Smiley in the quarters and was beaten by the freshman Shaefer in the semis. In 96 they met Saturday morning with Shaefer leading Vega threw him to his back for 5 with seconds to go in the match for the win. I don't think I ever heard Market Square Arena so loud. Then in 97 to both meet undefeated in the finals I can remember the crowd coming to their feet as they entered the mat. A great rivalry that continued into college with both gaining victories over each other. Fair to say if it wasn't for each other Vega would've been a 3x champ and Shaefer a 4x.

Good luck this weekend Crimson Wave. Congratulations for setting the foundation of what I am sure will be a national contender in years to come.

To those that think Mishawaka carried our semistate, having 6 champs and none of them being from Mishawaka speaks for itself.

You're the Best Around by Joe Esposito always got me revved up.

McMurray is definitely the favorite and I am sure he will not be overlooking any opponent he wrestles this weekend. All he has to do is remember Tim Myers from Bellmont who was denied a third title in his senior year by Greg Larsen of Hanover Central (a small school) in 1995.

Congrats to Buehrle and all White Sox fans. What a great catch by Wise to with no outs in the 9th. Great way to go into the Detroit series tied for 1st. I know this isn't wrestling but I am sure there are plenty of Sox fans reading and enjoying this.

Cal College may not have the most talented class in the state, but Coach Vega has done an outstanding job assembling its inaugural wrestling team. Look for this school to be a perennial NAIA power in years to come.

Leroy Vega vs Greg Schaefer met 3 years in a row on Saturday. 1995 freshman Schaefer wins in semis, 1996 Vega hip toss in final seconds to win in the quarters. 1997 Vega wins in title match. Schaefer wins as freshman and again as a senior. Vega wins his final 2 years. They would go on to wrestle each other in college and sit in opposite corners as coaches. Two of Indiana's best! If someone has a video of any of these matches please post!
