    Dude, back in ('95?) James Leavell vs David Maldanado was far more hyped than Red vs Lee. Rematch of previous state finals where both guys came in undefeated. MSA was rockin'.

    Won't be able to fly in for the finals for the first time in years due to a prior engagement I can't move. What are my options for watching online? -- Will I be able to watch the faceoff before the finals online? Also, are the matches only shown via streaming or can I find them online after the event. Thanks in advance.

    MOGILLIS- Um, James Brimm, Eville Central. I'm sure there are many others. (btw, Brimm was also a freestlye dynamo and ended up getting 3rd again as a Junior and didn't win it until his last year so you never know. He also might have gotten 4th his freshman year but you get my point.)

    Harvey wrestled an excellent match. He knows his strengths and weaknesses and played into them intelligently. I heard folks in the stands saying Harvey didn't "deserve to win" because he didn't go out and shoot blindly. Ridiculous! Wrestling is more than just banging... The idea that a 270+ 2nd year wreslter should just fire away like he's 119 lbs is absurd. Honestly, his style reminds me of some of the best freestyle wrestlers in the world who don't just go and try and bash someone's brains in for an entire match. They keep good position, keep the score close and jump on an opportunity when it arises.

    Price has to be in the conversation. Great grades, attitude and behavior. Haven't had an IPS placer since the Manual program was strong years ago.

    I am a fan and want this kid to win as much as anyone (go Indy wrestlers!) but c'mon... he's a 14/15 year old under the lights for the 1st time. You guys are acting like is the biggest lock ever. Can he win it - of course he could. Is it a sure thing? No way...

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/highschool/news/story?id=6131909 Wow... very interesting and relevant given Indiana's recent SS qualifiers. Moderator - pls move if in wrong forum / already posted.

    I like Price - I root for all the IPS kids who make it downtown. Everything I read alludes to him being a heck of a guy. I actually saw him wrestle for the first time at City this year when he was up at 119. I would have liked to have seen more offense as he didn't really engage but he was solid in beating a state qualifier at a weight above where he is now...

    Josh Holden. Lawrence Central

    What is the bill. We've already had a home schooled state champ
  13. Kleveland11
    I'd be wiling to wager a quarter that at least 5 of these "#1"'s don't win.

    Went to more than a dozen in a row but took a break to attend college, grad school and start my career out of state but this is my second year flying in from the East Coast to catch the finals. Wouldn't miss it! Memories- 91, Jay Manson - The last state champ from IPS... 92, LN 4 Champs 96 - watching my friend and teammate win it all
  15. Kleveland11
    Haven't these guys already wrestled before? Maybe I'm dating myself but back in my day these guys would have locked up in Freestyle and/or at Team Indiana practices and such a number of times. I know Sliga is younger but I can't imagine that he hasn't run into the other top-tier guys his size previously. I'd presume the same should be true for Welch/Willis, Jasckson/Kieffer/Raley, etc. I know freestyle isn't a 100% accurate predictor but head to head comp is usually a clue...

    Who was the Heavyweight in the 90's who made it downtown undefeated 2-3 times - lost to a much bigger heavyweight. This was pre-215 if I'm not mistaken. Hummel?
  18. Kleveland11
    Why are you saying that Alex had a better high school career? I mean Jason lost to a guy who ended up an All-America as a true freshman and beat him when it mattered most, the guy is the #1 ranked guy in his weight as a junior and won flonationals last year.

    Manual's Perez (32-3) looked very good to me at 103 when I saw him win the City championships. the kid is well coached and freaking huge. Surprised he's not on this list. Would not be surprised to see him make some noise.
  20. Kleveland11
    Wow, so the number #1 ranked 215 lb wrestler in the state was at 160 last year? That's pretty amazing. I'm not familiar with him - at what weight does he walk around? did he have a growth spurt? I see his school has a top ranked 189 lb wrestler as well - is he only 190x lbs? He must be an animal as I'm sure he's wrestling kids coming down from 230+. Interesting and very impressive. Best of luck.

    There is a former Indiana state champs group on facebook that has almost all these guys.
  22. Kleveland11
    Sure. Didn't mean to step on your toes. I think he is likely ranked fairly - all I mean is that I never hear his name when folks are talking about Indiana's best but from a fundamental perspective I'd argue he's right there with the most elite kids in the state. Agreed, he doesn't have their hardware ... yet, but I think that changes soon. Kid can score from every position, decent motor and well coached.
  23. Kleveland11
    For what it's worth - I think the Harvey kid is a highly underrated wrestler. Slick style, sold in all positions - reminds me of one of my favorite Indiana wrestlers Case Hooper (blast form the past...lol).
  24. Kleveland11
    Wow, is the Tourney really that tough? I would have assumed the hardest mid-season tournament was the Marion County Championships. Sounds like Al Smith may have it beat.
  25. Kleveland11
    Is it just me or does competing in Flonationals seem like a potentially bad idea for the super elite kids? Getting taped wrestling some of the best kids in country a month after your season has ended? I understand why some kid who was a mid-level placer and wants to get colleges to notice him might take a crack at it but if you have a kid who is already getting a lot of love I don't see the upside. Say you won state as a junior and have already made noise at Fargo earlier in his life, is it worth getting beat by someone no one has ever heard of and putting everything in jeapordy? Having video of your folkstlye matches posted on the most frequented webiste in the sport for opposing coaches to scout all year long? I just can't imagine that I'd ask my kid to make the weight on his own, search for quality partners and then show up to a tournament where all the college reps will be present and risk damaging his chances to go to college for free. This isn't like Fargo where folks have a few weeks of Team Indiana practices to prepare them. Shrug.
