Mejia, Blubaugh, and Streck all advance to the semifinals at 11am tomorrow morning. All 3 are officially All-Americans. Congratulations!

In addition to Blubaugh, UIndy has another guy in the semi's and a third that's in the consis with an AA spot locked up. Those 3 AAs put Indianapolis in 9th place.

WOW! Christian Mejia! He comes in as the 3-seed, having lost only to the top two seeds during the year. Facing the 2-seed, who beat him 9-2 during the year, he hips into a high-c attempt and takes him to his back for the pin only a minute into the match!! 
He's been on the podium twice before, and now he gets his shot for a title tonight!
 
He'll face the 4-seed, who took out the top seed, and who was the runner-up at this event last year. 

Feels a bit sacrilegious to not say teammate/friend Nick Crume (Q, 3, 3, 1), and while I predict he’d win the head to head more often than he’d lose, I have to choose Hunter Watts (6, 2, 1, 3) since it says “most accomplished.” Only Jimmie with a placement all four years and only to make it under the lights twice.

This is a nasty level of hating. Kyrel pinned and teched his way through John Hurrle, pinned his way through Marion County, pinned and teched his way to the Al Smith finals, got two falls in the matches Warren wrestled at Team State, pinned his way through sectionals, pinned and teched his way through regionals, pinned his way through semi-state, and teched his opening round at State, won his semis 9-3, and pinned the #1 in the finals… DOMINANT without a doubt.

a friend of mine let me watch the ppv through their account, so thank you all for the help!

Looks like last years finals didn’t get archived on flo until 10 days afterwards. Unfortunately looks like the ppv is the only way until they get archived.

Mood Right Now

I would say they had more

3 > 1
Fort Wayne > East Chicago

In all fairness to DawgPoundRed, there are actually six Bulldogs in the finals. So he was close.

They have had several matches in the first two rounds that were won by a solid margin. And most kids are going to tighten up some on the action against top level opponents in the semis with a state final bid on the line. So while their maybe some strategic decisions on when to open things up I’m not sure I’d say “they do nothing and win close matches”.  
 
And someone on their staff completely forgot to let Krejsa in on this team plan.  That’s kids been on a mission almost the entire time on the mat.   

Biggest jinx in the history of Indiana state wrestling. Good job DawgPoundRed

I think they have asked the school if he can “transfer” to Brownsburg.  For academic and family reasons of course.  

He asked me how many would Fort Wayne have in the finals.  Looks like we’re doing pretty good.  I never believed in jinx’s before today. If I was the Crown Point staff I’d disassociate from this guy. Sheesh!

Zar Walker vs Ethan Doster for the Title tonight.  

After reading this thread, I'd say the OP was spot on and a whole bunch of people were wrong big time.  I think only one or two replies mentioned Walker and I didn't see any mentioning Doster at all.

Just goes to show, there are no absolutes, but there is a lot of empty bravado and hot air on a message board.  

EASTON DOSTER…stay under the radar & Keep wrestling!!

Was the 8 under the lights in the parking lot? 

Another one down

First thing seen this morning….cmon man! Think he slept in them?  

What's crazy about the Farnell and Hartleroad 4 over 1's is that the wins look so impressive and deserved. But then in both cases, the 2s and 3s that finished ahead of them last week lost fairly convincingly to the guys who lost to the #1 that they just beat. Ha

I respectfully disagree... Jackson had 2 escapes prior to that last one that "should" have been awarded to him... The potentially dangerous from out of no where and when they went out of bounds and Harris clearly did not have his hands locked around him while facing each other on their feet
 
However, I do agree that the escape that was given was a bad call
 
 

I like you calling out and interrogating ontherise by @ as if he was in charge of seeding.

So, one of my favorite parts of wrestling season is sampling the different hot dogs the schools present during the year.  For disclosure, my son Chris Bohn and wrestles for Munster, the hot dog testing tour will follow the Munster schedule. I also taste test the dogs plain. Today I was at Goshen High School.  The hot dog was $3.  It was pretty plump, and was definitely not cheap.  The bun has the perfect amount of "freshness", meaning it wasn't hard, but it wasn't soaked.  I will definitely be picking up a couple of more tomorrow.  The Goshen hot dogs get 6 slices of pizza out of 8.  The next stop on the tour is Valparaiso high school on December 2.  Thank you for reading.

The day somebody links me to a video of Angel Escobedo vs. Shane Perkey, you have automatically become an ally for life.
