We still have a few openings if there are teams interested.

If you search on YouTube by name it may come up, there are a considerable amount of old matches out there.

New Albany has a Christmas tournament for JV 23 December 

New Albany and Floyd Central are still going to Southridge

We will try hosting our Boys JV Christmas tournament again this year on Saturday 12/23 if anyone is interested.  Priority will be given to those teams who registered to compete last year.   It is a pool play style tournament so we can maximize the number of matches and will run concurrently with our Girls tournament.

Please reach out to me if interested or if you plan to attend again this year.

Thanks

Will the girls be competing in their new weight classes or will they go with the boys weights?  Anyone gotten word from the IHSAA?

New Albany Wrestling sends our heartfelt condolences.

I have enjoyed all I my interactions across the mat, walking down the hall, and especially the seeding meetings.  Larry will always be remembered and talked about with a smile for years to come!  

Thanks for the great memories.

I probably missed the announcement, but what is the date/place this year?  Getting our pre-season stuff lined out.

If it is going to happen it will come out when the rule updates are announced, usually the end of April.

Sectional and Regional realignments are reviewed and changed every two or three years is my understanding, and was told that it is done to balance the strength of the regionals. 

That drive for sectional and regional is not a moral builder.

The strength of the Moorseville Regional creates a lack of diversity in the later rounds, parents/teams/family members/fans aligned to the other regionals may not be staying around after their competitors are eliminated.  As Triple B said the south is so big that most team aligned fans don't know many of the other competitors.

Wrestling everyone in our sectional would be very difficult since most teams are nearly 2 hours away.  That, along with parents wanting to see their kids against local teams as much as possible, much the same as basketball and football.  Logistics/conference obligations/IHSAA rules start to compete against each other very quickly.

Thank you Sir!

Can we see the complete list, more for curiosity and team motivation reasons than anything else.

Our school system has shut down all activities effective today at 3:00 until Sunday, 25 December.

Unfortunately, our schedule does not have the flexibility for us to move the event this year, but we do plan to have it next year.

113 Nguyen (NA) beat Clary last week.

38 boys/7 girls

The bigger problem is the top 3 weight classes, they are different than the boys.

Faulkins just sent an email that the girls weight classes are the same as the boys this year.  Only exception is IHSGW State Tournament. 

In the other IHSAA sports such as Football and Volleyball there is also a success factor that moves teams up into the next class, I believe if they win state twice in a row they move up.  Providence High School's Volleyball team is an example of this and it may have also happened Columbus East Football.  

New Albany is looking to have 40+ this year.  Our facility has 1 and 2/3 of mat space with 2 locker rooms and a weightlifting area.  The facility is in a basement area, so it is dedicated to us, we have the older large mats laid out for practice and four light weight mats for meets.  Our middle schools are away from the high school, so they practice there, except during winter break when advanced wrestlers come up to the high school.
