In the mirror? Positive Self Talk.

Anyone remember the "Good ol days" when the biggest issue was people saving seats.

Just to play devils advocate, I have seen the coaches of the 3rd and 4th best kids in the bracket use criteria to bump the 2nd best kid up to the top. Is this legal? Yes Does it align with the intent of seeding and taking advantage of criteria?

You act like you do this on purpose.

Problem is next weekend is JV Team State, which falls on the same day as JV Individual State. So you have many of the top JV teams getting 4-5 duals. CP, BB, CG, Columbus East, Franklin, Mater Dei, Warren Central and others. Unfortunate timing IMO. Maybe next year we can get the dates adjusted.

Columbus East having a week our young squad battling: Columbus East over #11 Carmel 39-29 Columbus East over #16 Greenfield Central 40-23 Columbus East over #18 Franklin 40-19 Columbus East loss to #4 Perry Meridian 32-33 Some great duals against some well coached teams.

This is the year I took 3rd lol Two great guys that I have reminisced with at different events. We had a few good battles back in the day.

East has 10

Kids deserve better!

Columbus East winning 3A State vs a very good Roncalli team, coming down to the final match. This coming after not being able to attend the prior year with a really good chance win a title. Good for the athletes and their families to share that moment.

Its easier to get on a plane than it is inside Ford Center...smh

Yes it comes into play. Seed Number 4 - 3,5 and 6 all have justification head to head. So you go to common opponents and 3 has wins over 2 and 6. 5 lost to 2 and 6. So Seed goes to #3 now. Seed Number 5- 5 has latest head to head win over 6 so #5 gets it. Seed Number 6- 6 Gets it So the seeding now is 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6 Realistically it doesnt make a difference because 3 and 5 are the #4 and #5 seeds no matter which way it goes.

Ill give it a shot. Its been awhile since I was in a seeding meeting. 1,2,4,5,3 seed 1- #1 Seed 2- Wrestlers 2-5 all have justification so move to next criteria. Without knowing common opponents we will assume it cant be figured out that way, move to next criteria. No one was a semistate quarterfinalist, move to next criteria. By record #2 gets it. (assuming these records are without forfeits included). Seed 3- Now everyone gets thrown back into the ring and criteria starts over. Head to head 4 beat 5 and 5 beat 3 so #4 gets it. Seed 4. Start over again. 5 beat 3 so #5 gets it. Seed 5. #3 This is how I would interpret it.

Warren Central Brownsburg Mater Dei Columbus East Center Grove Fort Wayne Carroll Perry Meridian Southport Cathedral Franklin Community Definitely a preview of some upcoming studs and good competition.

Want to thank Jake O'Neill and Warren Central for putting on a great tourney. We feel blessed to have this type of event to give our guys an opportunity to wrestle great competition and continue to get better. Was ran perfectly, refs were top notch and we were out with 4 duels in very good time. Columbus East really appreciates the opportunity and Jake it was nice getting reacquainted, its been a lot of years since we were competing and yes we do have a few more grey hairs. Also, Congrats to Brownsburg on taking home the title! Great day of wrestling.
