    So are you saying that a small school that is located 30 minutes to a school that is 3A and at least an hour from any city that would be considered large to go to club is not at a disadvantage? How is that so difficult to understand?? There are limitations that large schools will never understand. I guess they arent working as hard as those 3A schools. The denial of advantages is laughable and not recognizing the disadvantages is absurd.

    No one said achieve success at a small school is impossible...but why is it fair that a small school kid has to work twice as hard, travel twice as far, have 1/2 the resources but expected to output the same results?? When really it doesnt need to be like that.

    I would like to put my two cents in....I was an assistant at a 3A school and now I am an assistant at a 2A school. When I was at the larger school I did not understand the problems smaller schools have. Let me say I am still on the fence about the individual side of our tournament. Is it impossible to have a state placer in a smaller school, nope. Is it inconceivable, to even beat bigger schools as a team once in awhile, nope. But it sure is a lot more difficult to acquire the same amount of success. If our kids want to go to an "open mat" or RTC at a large school they have to travel 30 min to find the closest one. The next closest is 45 min- 60 min travel. You know how far away it is for a these kids to go to a Club that might have a room full of state qualifier caliber kids?? If you cant grasp that there is a disadvantage for a small school in a small town for individuals, then you kidding yourself. How can a a kid who has better practice partners, better facilities, more coaches, more money, more access to other clubs and schools not have an advantage?

    Maybe the back cover then?? haha

    You could call it Young Guns and put Cummings, Rooks, Bailey, Lee, Lee and Parris on it. I believe all these guys will win a state title next year and wont be seniors. Impressive.

    Thats awesome....he was an absolute beast on the mat and super nice off the mat as I remember.
  10. PreparetoWin
    Yes this is true, I remember him, from Mnt Vernon. Good guy and I dont believe he went to college to play any sports, I have heard he didnt go to college at all so he could work his family business. (not sure if thats true)

    This is my perspective and I believe this wholeheartedly. A good diet at the beginning or even prior to season starting will put a wrestler in the weight class that he will perform best in. There is a HUGE difference between cutting weight and losing weight. This is something many people inside and outside the sport dont seem to understand. (I didnt when I was coming up). If a wrestlers off season weight is 180 and has 15% body fat, should he be on a healthy low fat diet and working his tail off, he will naturally drop enough weight in a healthy way to most likely reach 170 in just a few weeks. Every wrestler will be different in their body make up, but generally a healthy diet and hard work will get you to the correct weight class and be an extremely healthy individual. Where myself and others run into the biggest problem is the "yo-yo" effect. 180 on Monday, cut to 170 by Friday, up to 175 by Saturday night, back to 180 for Monday. Rinse and Repeat. Your body has no fuel, no water, spent its energy and basically shut its own metabolism down. Do all our kids listen...haha you know better than that. Do some get it, yup...and those typically are the kids who dont tire in the 3rd, can wrestle 5 matches hard in one day and do not hate practice near as much as the others.

    I have coached kids who were not as talented and would get beat 9 out of 10 times by a certain wrestler and once down 13-0 threw a head lock and caught him. Even as a coach you cheer, chuckle, wipe the sweat from your brow and thank goodness luck was on your side that day. Then you hope you dont wrestle that kid again because you probably wont get lucky like that again. If that is a scrub mentality I guess I am a scrub...lol So I think they were wanting to know with the original question was if both the wrestlers looked equal prior to getting pinned or was one wrestler being dominate before the pin. Being a realist is a far cry from a scrub mentality. Sorry to interrupt, dont know much about either wrestler, just wanted to add my 2 cents.

    I guess thats what I meant...problems using track...It seems they are fixing them slowly.
  14. PreparetoWin
    Are they having that many problems with track at mooresville?? I am seeing a lot of huge upsets!! Any of them for real?
  15. PreparetoWin
    I wanted to say the same thing but I had to delete my post...haha thanks for saying it

    I beg to differ....Have you seen his plate at the buffet? Full!! His glass at Boneyards?? Full (for a second)

    on the far left where the blue dot is...click it instead of the topic and it will take you to the newest comment that is unread.
  19. PreparetoWin
    Cash, Forte, Harvey, James, Pepple, Stevenson would be my front runners. but I am sure arguments could be made for a few others.
  20. PreparetoWin
    You will never please everyone...even doing something like giving out a cool award to give a kid some added recognition. Why would that not be the name of the award??
  21. PreparetoWin
    Must be his great coaching staff... Hes a great kid on top of being a talented athlete...he will do great!
  22. PreparetoWin
    If you want to find the best dual team the NCAA system is flawed....if you want to find the best tourney team then its right on point. I am not sure why we argue about best team. If you win the Coaches Association Tourney your the best dual team, if you win the IHSAA title your the best tourney team. They are two different beasts and should probably have two separate tourneys. I dont think anyone can deny that being the best dual team doesnt make you the best tourney team and visa versa. So last year Franklin was the best dual team and cathedral was the best tourney team...wheres the argument??
  23. PreparetoWin
    I would say that is to many words to fit on a shirt..but I know Triple Bs shirt size and I would say perfect fit.
  24. PreparetoWin
    Am I missing something?? dont you both have the same opinion and both are passionate about freestyle....wheres the conflict?? haha Seems you guys would be hugging and singing kumbaya with "I Flip For Freestyle" shirts on.
  25. PreparetoWin
    This is how you voice your concern and try to get rational answers to questions?? I guess I could think of a few other ways to ask a questions without sounding like a bitter, angry coach. Something like "Just curious as to why New Pal hasnt been invited yet. Can someone explain or post the thread where I can read and understand why this is? Maybe a time and place I can attend a meeting that I pay dues to? Thanks" That sounds more diplomatic to me...I am just saying!!!!!!!!
