Several of the 4A schools have two varsity teams. Wouldn't that change the percentages? 

 

We hear from the smaller school guys of how hard and disadvantaged it is to wrestle at smaller schools. To be honest, its tough at the bigger schools too. There are tons of guys that would be varsity 1 at 90 percent of smaller schools. I know that the class wrestling debate is alive and well on another thread. But.. if we crunch the numbers, even with about half the schools making team state in the other classes (compared to 4A). As an individual, you may have a better chance of wrestling in this event at the smaller schools. Can we get a breakdown of actual wrestlers per each class (1A-4A), and the percentage of those wrestlers that have the opportunity to wrestle in this event? 

Not actual wrestlers, but here are the sums of student enrollment of each class.

4A- 88,302

3A- 106,113

2A- 50,602

1A- 28,889

Paid Asst. Wrestling Coach position open at Columbus East HS.

GREAT room tonight!  Lots of kids getting after in a packed room.  Thanks to all the teams and coaches who brought several kids, Seymour, Rushville, Greensburg...

Next week, Coach Warthan and some UIndy studs will be in for technique and live.  Can’t wait!

Back in action this week.  Will be a great practice, technique coming at you from state champs Cade and Graham Rooks.  Come learn some secrets from two of Indiana’s finest!

Maybe Graham will even let you in on how he can wrestle for 2 hours non-stop without getting winded.

Go time 5:00 pm, enter the furthest south doors of the school, room is downstairs on the left.

I hate to cancel anything ever, but due to the flooding we are going to cancel RTC practice tonight.  Back on as usual next Thursday.

Great room last week, 55 kids from all over getting some great stuff from Coach Escobedo.

This week..... Takedown battle between Briar Runyon and Cayden Whitaker... Technique first from each, then we are gonna see if the college kid has what it takes to show the state champ who is boss.  

Come see the show!!  Then lots of live!  5-7 pm Thursday

Reminder, go time tonight is 5:00.  Coach Escobedo will show technique and drills for the first part of practice, then live go’s for the second part.  It will be a great room with plenty of state champs/placers all the way to beginners.

Columbus East RTC begins this week (3/29) on Thursdays from 5-7 pm.  Expect a great room!

First guest clinician is 4x Indiana State Champ, 4x NCAA All American and Indiana University Associate Head Coach, Angel Escobedo!!!

As always, technique, drill and lots of live at the end.

Columbus East is about 40 min south of Indianapolis on I-65.  Enter the furthest south doors of the school, wrestling room is down the stairs on the left.

Let me start by saying at Columbus East we have had a full (or nearly always full) and competitive roster for the past several years.  So this comes from my own perspective...  When I look at the list kids who have either quit, or don't come back the following year, almost all of them are kids who were varsity and were going to probably get beat out of the lineup the next season or kids who got beat/about to get beat out of the spot in the current season.  If the number of weight classes are reduced, at Columbus East, we would certainly lose kids.

I just don't see how eliminating opportunities (weight classes) would possibly increase participation.  It may or may not decrease the number of forfeits, but won't increase the overall participation.

Nice!!

I know, but I thought they were trying to promote a Parris V Gable matchup.

No Gable?

I must have missed the question about going to college out of bounds.....

Nice article, great kid!  #TeamBalboa

Cayden Rooks (Columbus East) vs. Graham Rooks (Columbus East)

This brother on brother matchup pairs together #1 vs. #2, too bad we will never see it under the lights

 

This fight..... I mean.... match happens every day.
