"This is gonna hurt" 

Jim Binkley 

Only issue we have had is the waist band has too much Nike logo (we are trying to dye the band completely black now).  We have experienced no penalty issues so far.  But ours all fit tight.

Please feel free to reach out to me or have your coach contact me if you have any questions or issues that come up!  Glad to see another team in the area!

Providence Wrestling

I believe it is official now

New Albany

Old - Eric Burres

New - John (JT) Jenkins

I believe Antunez (113) and Craig (126) from Jennings county will both be back this year.

I have been told JT Jenkins will be taking over the New Albany wrestling program.

Tre Lynch (New Albany) is a Sophomore (rs) wrestling at Campbellsville, won the #1 spot at 157 last year then had an achilles injury in the first tournament and redshirted.  Back this year and is expected to be at 165.

Jacob Franklin (New Washington) is also on the squad and is projected at 197.

Chase had surgery and came through it as well we could hope. He hopes to make a complete recovery and be back on the mat as soon as possible.

Thanks for everyone's well wishes.

Coach Lynch

Jeffersonville is up

But isn't that the argument of why we shouldn't send JV to varsity tourney?

 

If the 1a, 2a, 3a schools don't have a full lineup, I'm sure losing to MD's JV isn't something attractive to the athletic football kid who is on the fence about wrestling or not.  

 

The only team that benefits from sending JV to varsity would be the programs in the top 10% and it comes at the cost of the middle/lower class of our state's programs.

That is one of the issues we see, non-wrestling athletes are already concerned about not being good at it when you convince them to come out, then thay lose to a JV and it becomes a real struggle to keep them long enough to get them confident.

Do you have a separate file by class?

Fuller (Jeffersonville) vs Mosely (New Albany)

Same conference, sectional, and grade in school.

Your right, I was reading this one and a request to reply to a quoted comment came up and it posted here.  Sorry for the confusion.

It actually annotates a Q for qualified weigh-in.  I have a kid who was at 126 went up to 132 then was trying to go back down, exceeded the 1.5% and did not get a Q annotation for that weigh in.  He already has 6 qualified weigh ins at 126.

I'm pretty sure that the program we enter the weight into is only looking for you being at or above the minimum weight as stated on your alpha weigh in. So as long as you are above that weight it's qualifying according to the program even though it might not be according to the rule.
So if your minimum weight is 125, and you go 125.4, 130, then back to 125.9 I think they would all be qualifying according to the program because I don't think it takes the 1.5%into account, it just looks for you being above that minimum weight. Anyone know if I'm correct or not on that?

yes it does, it does not include that weigh-in as a qualified weigh-in if they lose more than the 1.5%

113 Chase Aldridge, Providence over Riddel, Crawford County by fall

Aldridge is 27-4

The advantage is not just freshman year, freshman don't just wrestle freshman, when kids are redshirted an advantage is created throughout high school.  A 19 year old senior has a huge advantage over a 14 year old freshmen of equal technical skill.

Nick don't you know that you will always be in the same weight class as the last one you competed in!!  Thats one of those unwritten rules applied to wrestling practices.

Jeffersonville

106 - Ringworm over Dakota Erickson, New Albany

Jim Binkley or "Bink" has been a constant with New Albany wrestling since the early 1960's.   He placed 2nd in the state tournament in 1963 and wrestled at IU.  If you have ever seen a New Albany wrestler since the 1970's Bink was most likely in their corner starting as an assistant coach with Phil Thrasher, then head coach in 1995, and after retiring he came back as an assistant coach again with Eric Burres in 2005.   

He is in his 70's now, loves the sport, and still looks like he could walk out on the mat for a match.

Well, from what I have read from the emails from ISHAA.  People with under 6 qualifying weigh-ins can still wrestle, but cannot be seeded ahead of wrestlers with 6 qualifying weigh-ins (New Alpha Sheet).  This means if someone that would have been a 2nd seed is in a pigtail with a true 1 seed it could be interesting!

Is this posted somewhere?

Any word on New Albany tourney ?  Cancelled ?  Rescheduled ?

We just got word it has been cancelled.

I heard Wise is out for the year

I checked the SIWC seeds and he was the 1
