    The perception that we're losing a weight in the middle with A,B, or C is NOT false. In all three of these options, 160 is the 9th weight class. Under the current system it is the 10th weight class. Any way you look at it, that is moving a weight class from the middle to the upper weights. I realize that is possible to take a set of statistics and data and make them support whichever side of an argument you choose to favor. I also believe that most of these posts are well intentioned with the best interest of the sport as a whole at heart. Having said that, as I stated earlier, in 3 decades of coaching, we've always had 40-50% of our roster between 119 1nd 160. That is not a trend. That is not cyclical. That is simply where most of the wrestlers are. If we only have the four options, and cannot add a 15th weight, then I vote D (no change) Ed Hamant Asst.Coach Greenfield Central

    If the above listed choices are the only options, I vote for B. (no change). The other 3 options all have the weight classes moving upward. 160 has been the 10th weight. It would now be the 9th weight, moving weights upward. We do not need to take a weight class away from the middle, where the best wrestling and most of the best athletes are , and add an upper weight where a large share of the kids are less athletic, and in many cases, fat and overweight to begin with. I have coached for three decades, and we have always had between 40% and 50% of our roster between 119 and 160. Any of the new options would eliminate an opportunity for half of our roster to wrestle varsity. I believe an ideal solution would be to leave the weights the same with two exceptions: Move 103 to 106 and add a 15th weight class at 180. This would allow more sophomores and juniors a chance to wrestle at the lowest weight, and eliminate the large gap between 171 and 189. This would also have the added benefit of eliminating most ties in dual meets. As for the gap between 215 and 285, let's remember, not all heavyweights weigh 285. If the large gap is a safety issue, then let's cut the limit down to 265. Ninety-nine % of 16 or 17 year old kids who weigh 285 have sufficient body fat to easily cut 20 pounds. This might improve the quality of wrestling at heavyweight, and would certainly be healthier for the kid, not having to carry around an extra 20 pounds of fat. If a middle weight can cut 10-15 pounds, then a heavyweight can easily cut 20 and still be 12-15 % body fat.

    Thanks to those of you who have voiced your kind words about Josh. He is a great kid from a great family. He is one of the hardest working kids we've ever had in our program. He pushes himself to near exhaustion every day in practice. He will never lose a match because of being outworked. After his disappointing loss to Brooks in the 5th & 6th consolation match, the first thing he said to us as he walked off the mat was "Coach, can we lift on Monday?" Ed Hamant GC Asst.Coach

    Why don't they simply leave the weight classes as they are and add a 15th weight class at 180. This would eliminate the large gap between 171 and 189, while at the same time eliminate 90% of the tie scores in dual meets.The winning team would be decided on the mat , not in a list of criteria. I don't know how they come up with the distribution of weights, but we don't need to move weight classes upward. I've coached 29 years and we've never had an abundance of lower or upper weights. We've always had about half of our roster between 125 and 160. I would be interested in how other team's rosters spread out. In any case, I can't see it as good for our great sport to eliminate a weight class in the middle where you will see athletes wrestle, and replace it with an upper weight where the kid's are 18-20% body fat.

    Josh Ferrell (103) of Greenfield Central had forfeits in the first four rounds and dominated the Noblesville kid in the final round. New Palestine, Mt. Vernon, and Triton Central all had 103 pounders but chose not to wrestle them against Ferrell. Ferrell is now 18-0 on the season. Ian Early at 189 got stuck by Duckworth and won four matches easily. Dakota Gruell at 171 did not wrestle due to illness. Logan Wendell at 125 and Zach Heald at 145 both went 5-0 for Greenfield Central.

    The Braves are going to return to contender status this season. Their rotation is improved and healthy. Francoeur has his swing corrected. And Chipper Jones is still one of the best hitters in baseball.

    I think a JV State Touney is a great idea. It might keep some jv kids from quitting because they are not varsity. It might also encourage jv kids to wrestle in the off season. I see 2 possible roadblocks to this happening. As previously mentioned, the IHSAA would never sanction such a tourney. They view wrestling not as a positive asset to their overall program, but just another non revenue sport they are forced to deal with. Another possible roadblock could be our AD's. Many of them view wrestling much the same as the IHSAA. I tried for several years to get a jv tourney for our conferance. I checked with every head coach and assistant coach in the conferance and they were unanimously in favor if it. I wrote up proposals and submitted them to our AD. She supposedly took it to the conferance ADs and it was allegedly voted down 7-1. I have my own doubts as to whether she actually submitted the proposal. We have a different AD now, so we might get more administrative support. I think our best chance, as previously stated, would be for the coaches' association to sanction the tourney. I think it would be a tremendous asset in building a stronger wrestling program.
