Twin Lakes is looking for a head wrestling coach.

Yes someone right next to me yelled Go Stevan (something like that) and he did wink and give a smile. Being 10 feet or so away from that match he looked great. Those takedowns looked so quick and effortless.

I agree Completely. Watch out on this topic heard the grammar police are watching

126 Johnson v. Denton (did he wrestle or default?) Injury Default Hopefully better by next weekend.

They did do well lots of very good matches. @138 Finals and 3rd 4th were back and forth. Harrison and Delphi solid as usual. Congrats to all qualifiers and represent Logan Regional @Semi State.

Ya I guess a few more TL boys winning Finals and you could call it my Wish List.

Most of my picks lean towards the TL Sectional guys, but heres what I got. 106 Miller, Davis, Bushong, Torres Guess Miller gets it here. didn't watch sectional match. Was it close? 113 Porter, Jones, Hampton, Ordway Porter looks good, haven't watched Jones in a while Know he's good 120 Carden, Brown, Lukaska, Grimes ? Sure Unknown will comment here LOL 126 Denton, Inman, Collier, Wireman Like Inman beating Switzer here. 1st rd 132 Carithers, Widner, Alderman, Layer Carithers then all others very competitive. 138 Metcalf, Atkinson, Denton, Schrock (Conference score 7-4 Atkinson winning) again Unknown ? 145 Sigman, Fritz, Armuth, Cox My upset pick 2nd rd TL and Har. TL and WC are 1-1 this year 152 Vanmeter, welch, Madson, stone 160 Thomas, Hedden, McGehee, Owens 170 Mote , Doty , Randle ,Garpow 182 Wade, Wright, Hartlety, Pruitt 195 Winkle, Langley, Watts, Glassburn 220 Meyer, Elliot, Oliver ,Houston 285 Duvall, Conley, Hopkins, Fitz Duval wins pure size and strength. Hope weather is good for all Regionals

Sincere and not make a debate. Right. I guess it goes deeper than that like ref telling my son I don't know the rule on this but watch your language before making the call. I believe he made that decision because he did not know the rules And thought he had to DQ him. After seeing him interact with my son right after the incident he did not act like hat had happened was severe enough. You will never be happy with anything I say except the ref was right and I will never say that. I started this post so I could find out from all of Indiana wrestling fans and their knowledge if this Situation has ever happened before in the same way. Not to just rip on ref.

yes I do believe it was to harsh of a punishment for the situation. That statement in bold is what I got from IHSAA. Well a part of it. After talking with other refs including ones there that day they would have handled that much differently as I believe most would do. I would feel the same if it happened to any other wrestler as you saw in my post about another situation with a broken arm and after the match.

Sorry that happened thanks for the post and info.

yes everyone has right to a opinion and knew it would happen. Just rembember During the course of any season there are any number of Rules which are misinterpreted or incorrectly applied. Some referees are just not that very good especially ones that don't go to meetings and stay updated on rules. Some just do minimum to keep collecting a check. Yes he has owned this and handled it well .

That's probably what should of happened. Yes team point then second team point I believe was for our coach getting upset. Opposing coach said he never wanted him to get DQ'd just wanted point. Is that true ? I hope so. Watching him pump fist was tough for Blake to watch. The question is did the Ref. just not know rules? Is there more to the story? Bad feeling towards our coaches, Blake or just Twin Lakes in general? Lots of thoughts being thrown around,but its done. I really just wanted to get a feel if this has ever happened this same way before. Not really to Bash a terrible Ref. because i hate to type and dont want to go on forever. I do believe it is a hard job and there are a lot of great Refs out there. Just not this one.

Yes thankfully we wrestled Frankfort last night and could not wrestle. Of course it was senior night another thing that he will never get back.

How many kids has this happened to? Please note was if this was because of a loss, got taken down, just out of anger or an injury and just slipped out. Was it 1st offense of match or repeated misuse of language? I will start by answering my own question. In the first 20 seconds of match Wrestler takes a shot and is injured yells and a profanity comes out. Referee calls for injury time comes to wrestler and says watch your mouth. Opposite coach walks to ref and complains did he just say (insert profanity here)? Referee looks at our side and says DQ for flagrant misconduct done for the day. This happened to my son going for his 4th conference title and had a good chance at doing so. The way I understand it was a rule in which was misinterpreted or incorrectly applied. That is the nice way of saying it. My way of saying it would for sure get me DQ'd from this site.
