Breaking down the state tourney into classes isn't the way to go. Now you are looking at multiple state champs, runner-ups, placers etc. Being classed keeps that uniqueness to our state, adding classes only taints the title, "State Champ" now the next question every person (including college coaches) asks is "what division was it? I love the idea of knowing at the end of the day, you and you only were the state champion, you were the best wrestler at that weight class in the entire state, YOU were the best, not the best in that division. My old assist. coach in college posted this once and I thought it was pretty true: "High school coaches its time to have that talk to your seniors, ask them why they worked so hard for so long to become the best wrestler that they can be. They would probably would answer so that they could be a be successful in high school and have the opporitunity to pursue their passion at the collegiate level, now ask them if that was their goal and they worked so hard to reach it then why are they now sitting around waiting for an invitation to apply to a college, or waiting by the phone instead of picking up that phone to contact the coach of a program they want to become part of. Heres a little secret, initiative goes a long way and showing some motivation and taking control of the direction you want your life to go in is often times the best recruiting aspect of all." I though that was pretty solid.

I still can't stop laughing! "yep looks like he'll get the major tech fall!" ....WHAT?
-
HAHA, recruiting at its best. #homegrown

He may be a nice kid, but when it comes to answering the topic "Most Impressive/Least Impressive" I'd have to say he was least impressive at the state championships IMO. Who knows maybe he had an off day, I just know if I were the heavy favor to win a state title I'd probably hold my Finals celebration in for the finals....not Friday night/Sat. Morning. I'm sure he will do good things with Ester and Indiana Tech in the fall...
-
YAY! Pretty solid!
-
Most Impressed: Petrov, cut's the kid and just goes after whats rightfully his and takes it...gotta love it! Bradley, didn't give up a single offensive pt all Semi-State/State. Sliga, pining his way through the Finals. least Impressed: Kaden Suter, found it odd after each win there was a state finals celebration. :

hahahaha, I saw tape of Abbott in the state finals. He was big and strong, but Isaiah is pretty funky, tough to score on...I think I take Abbott, lol ;D
-
Thank You! It honestly makes the wrestling that more exciting, think about it .....MORE ACTION= MORE EXCITEMENT, unless its just to fish flopping around lol... ;D
-
Talk about old fashion "Rub some dirt in it" kids got heart, gotta admire that.

Boston Phillips Todd Forte(kids a stud) Griffin McCloskey(very entertaining wrestler to watch) Gallegos

My point is if the rule was used like it is in college there would be MORE points being scored, MORE action continuing throughout the match, and less time stopped to go back to the center. I can see why some people would use the explanation for safety(understandable, somewhat) but honestly what might be a factor (and you see it now in matches) is I'm not sure if some refs feel comfortable enough making the correct call on the edge, so they anticipate the action on the edge and stop it before it can really go out of bounds.

Coaches, if you were to buy a mat... what would you go with?

50X50 Penn State sized mats... ;D IF you have a pretty funded booster lol. In all honesty, I personally never liked wrestling on Dollamur wrestling mats, I liked the normal Resilite wrestling mats. -
Just stinks the amount of action that could be scored in a match. Maybe one day the ihsaa will smarten up and add that rule in....along with wrestle backs.
-
Might not be a "minor" improvement, more so a major improvement but how about full wrestle backs at the state meet ;D
-
Those Alexandria coaches really get this kid fired up and peeking at the right time! What an exciting guy to watch, does some of his best work in Feb! Can't wait to watch Luke compete for a state title next season!
-
Two great IN wrestlers here, I can't wait to see them Cross paths again in college someday!
-
It would be interesting to hear some opinions about the amount of wrestling that's lost on the edge of the mat. I saw a lot of good takedowns this weekend where wrestlers dragged there toes/had a leg in the air/had a turn locked up(etc) but the action was stopped or called out of bounds. I personally like the college rule where you just need one body part in. It creats more action on the edge and allows more points to be awarded on the ENTIRE mat surface. Any luck this rule might change in the future?
-
1- I don't know why robinsons coaches didn't tell him, "hey there's 1:30+ left in the match, we don't need 5!" 2- just another reason why they need to change the out of bounds rule, you lose so much wrestling on the edge due to this darn rule. I think it should be similar to college when it comes to out of bounds but that's just my own opinion. Good luck to both in the future.

Karl: You are being very generous with :25 ;D lol

Could this be the year? A female makes it to state?

I bet if you took a look at 2004 Olympic Freestyle Silver Medalist, and current ranked 9th in the world Pro Fighter(probably higher then 9th now bc she just recently beat the #5 girl like a read headed step child) you'd think twice about all boys having more muscle mass then girls ;D Good luck to all the Semi-State competitors this weekend!! Good luck to Ms. Miracle as well! http://wombatsports.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/283428_191827977545669_100001554035847_546558_7684438_n.jpg -
agreed Jimmy....I still don't understand why we don't have wrestle backs...pretty disappointing.
-
Easy one, M. Sliga, kids a BEAST!
-
" A few coaches" that sounds more legit to be honest.
-
I wasn't pulling for a team they wrestled last year, whats wrong is wrong. I tell you what though, they'd make an excellent college coach when it comes to making recruiting calls ;-)
-
What, recruiting(?!?!?!?!), no way not Yorktown, just like there shirts said last year, so ironically, they're ALL "Home Grown" bahahahhahahaha yea, riiiight....if you believe they're really "Home Grown" and all from Yorktown, your either 1.) a Yorktown fan, 2.) completely oblivious to that program, or 3.) you've never met their Assist. Coach......lol ....."Home Grown" bahahaha. ;D
