If age does not matter why at state are most state qualifiers seniors then juniors then sophomores and finally freshmen? Although age is somewhat of a factor there's no denying that skill and experience is everything. There are alot of upperclassmen that get beat by underclassmen all the time based soley on skill. A lot and all the time? Those are strong words. If it happened "all the time" how come this year at state 80% of the state qualifiers were juniors and seniors? If you take out 103lbs, 84.6% of the state qualifiers are juniors and seniors and by taking out 112lbs it goes up to 88%. I am curious where all these super stud freshmen that are better than seniors "all the time." If you noticed i said upperclassmen and underclassmen not just freshman. I'm not trying to start a debate here! I probably should have been clearer . I was basically trying to say that experience and skill are more of a factor than anything in this sport.I'm not arguing youre facts.

Thats fine. I would rather watch the 103lb state wrestlers than the 215lb football/wrestler anyday. I usually don't stay to much to watch the upper weight classes (I think it's sloppier)but everyone has there own opinion. I was a lighter wrestler (98,112,135,135) so I might be a little biased myself.

The only reason I would see for a change is if in fact there are too many forfeits at 103. Although it will make for some intresting wrestling at 106.

Very good point.

No, I think that is good. He sounds like a fine man..

I grew up and wrestled in Laporte , spent alot of time in the region and spent the last 8 years in Chicago. Can you elaborate. Who is Lpd?

I kind of like the 103lb. weight class. I started wrestling when I was 5 years old and then went on and tried every other sport until I was in middle school and realized I wasn't going to be a big football player or basketball player and returned wrestling. My freshman year I weighed 85lbs and had to gain 3lbs to be within 10lb limit and wrestled varsity at 98lbs. Some kids develop a little a later, I wrestled 112 as a sophmore and had to cut weight. That's what makes this sport so great. I also like the idea of 106lb class because this will make for more exciting wrestling. The lighter weight classes up to 160 are always more exciting to watch. No offense to the upper weight classes there's just more going on.

You are not the only one who noticed the injury time, I was with a couple of Cathedral fans and it was an ongoing joke about when and how much injury time they had left. That is pretty sad you are taught to respect your'e opponet at all levels

I like the Anderson Highland singlets and Indian Creeks.

Has an "out-of-nowhere" wrestler ever won State?
LpBrown90 replied to SlickRodz's topic in Past Discussions
Rob Pavletic was pretty much a shocker to win at 160 his junior year ,and I don't he took hire than 6th his senior at same exact weight class. -
I still think Cashe is the better tsitris. Cashe had too many close matches all year, sooner or later it's bound to catch up to you..
-
Welch over Dillon!!! I thought that was a pretty big upset at the time, but I would have to go with Eppert over Wright. Eppert wrestled the perfect match.

Good to hear! I knew herbert said he was going concentrate on the following olympics. He's looking pretty dominate. I was very impressed by youre performance at state as well. Very well rounded.

Herbert is a senior and will be gone next year. I would have to say Cashe and Runyan both will be tough.
