Harper was in the finals last year losing to Mendez. 

Harper from Penn at 132 is back. He is 4-0 and a returning state qualifier as well, dont go to sleep on him! 

Brian Weaver and I are running the NIC this year so we will be prepared! There should be no issues. 

Some sneaky coaching and smart moves by Harper and company. With Denton being out bumping Harper to 138 and a huge win by Eutsey at 145 and Hollyfield at 170 turning point for the Kingsmen. Great dual as always. 

1999 One of the Sandefurs maybe Hubba goes to the student section in the NEW GYM and breaks a 2x4 over his head before he steps on the mat.

List the greatest memories of the backyard Brawl- Lets avoid saying names!

1. Favorite of all time! 1996 my freshman year. Penn 189lb has a cheap shot at the end of the match and all chaos erupts. Both benches clear fans running out of the cave. Got to love the days before social media. 

In 2012 the seeding meeting was in a tiny classroom and a couple of coaches had a little too much fun before the seeding meeting and things got a little heated and I thought the we were going to have to clear the room of desks and see who was tougher. But good thing Mike Faulkner was running the meeting and he "calmly" removed the coaches from the meeting. 

I’ll bring a case of good beer and kick back and relax.

I may show up anyways. Got to better than anything currently on Netflix! Always a good time in that seeding meeting! 

I may be a little biased here but what about Drew Hildebrandt(Penn)vs Blake Glogouski (Fairfied) 2016 Quarter Finals State!

He normally does but he will not be able to this year. He had surgery in August and won’t be back yet. He will be there though.

These are all unofficial Pre-Seeds. Things could change after weigh-ins etc. 

Going to be a good day of wrestling. 

Yes but not a full dual. 

Sorry so many people are opposed to the switch that I had to make this year last minute. But we lost 3 teams since Septemeber and I could not find replacements since most teams had already signed contracts for this year. With only 8 teams and Penn having to have both Varsity and JV this was the only way to make it work so everyone was somewhat happy. All wrestlers will be guranteed 5 matches on the day.

Here are a couple of reasons why I made the switch:

1. Penn and Mishawaka did not want to wrestle since they have a dual next week.

2. Westfield and Fishers did not want to wrestle as they have a confernce dual next week.

3. Penn vs Penn did not want to wrestle each other.

4. Fishers and Mishawaka just wrestled last weekend and did not want to wrestle again.

5. Springboro, OH is traveling 5 hours and wanted 5 good duals.

I will post the teams and any one is free to post the five rounds and who wrestles who. I spent many hours trying to make it work and it never did.

Teams: 

Penn 1 (cant wrestle Penn 2, Mishawaka)

Penn 2 (cant wrestle Penn 1, Mishawaka, Snider)

Westfield (Cant wrestle Fishers)

Fishers (Cant wrestle Westfield and Mishawaka)

Mishawaka (Cant wrestle Penn 1, Penn 2, Fishers)

Lakeshore, MI

Snider ( Can't wrestle Penn 2)

Springboro

Any can figure out the formula that works feel free to post or PM me. 

I will post the top 4 pre-seeds after 12 tomorrow. 

Coach Hersh

Penn will be sending their 1's to Elkhart and their 2's to Northridge, JV is at LaPorte
