Sorry Willie, but with all the bugs and coodies that are being spread around these days.
I will gladly take blood time and clean time all day long.
Infectious diseases are something that high schools do not need to mess around with.
As my kid has been getting older, I have been asking this as they come of the mat.
Do you want me to be the your coach and ripe on you for what you did wrong or would rather me be the dad that says good job and we will get him next time?
9 x out of 10. It is please be the coach and point out the mistakes, but after you cool down.
I agree what Jerry is doing is great for the kids is great, and I wish more coaches would do this.
But let us not confuse open mat with Regional Open or Club Practice. Open mat is for the Connersville kids only. Regional Open is once a week and is scattered thru the state. Club Practice is just that, a club which is a paid membership.
Milan has tried putting stuff together but in the end when only 2 or 3 kids show up and they are at two different ends of the spectrum of weight it makes it tuff. Also you get parents and coaches that say Freestyle and Greco teaches only bad habits and that the kids need to stay away from that does not help either.
So we go where the wrestling is "Jake Cavins' Basement!" ;D
Kidding aside all wrestlers should go to one of these Regional Opens to practice. You learn new technique and get to practice with different kids in the state. I think it is a great thing for the kids and the coaches.
Just to let everyone know we have 3 very talented women from Indiana wrestling for national titles starting tomorrow morning.
• Grace Paxton ranked #4 @ 109#
• Sarah Hildebrandt ranked #1 @ 123#
• Demi Strub ranked#5 @155#
There will be a live webcast provided by Missouri Baptist University from the WCWA Nationals, with two announcers on the call, switching from mat to mat as possible. Fans can enjoy this webcast at:

So you must have 6 certified weigh-ins for that what class? ???
For example if I want to wrestler 132 at sections I must have 6 weigh-in for that class and the rest could be 138 or what ever I wrestle that week.
Not 100% sure on the type of injury he had (I was thinking neck injury), but it did prevent him from wrestling. David was good kid and I hate to see that happen to anybody.
Jake has worked extremely hard this season to improve his wrestling and it shows.
? He went undefeated thru the Middle School Season
? Placed 4th at IHSWCA Middle School State
? Placed 2nd at ISWA State (Folkstyle)
? Placed 1st at ISWA State (Greco & Freestyle)
We are hoping that this will transitions into a good freshman campaign this up and coming school season.
It works on the ipad. The app is okay but is missing a few important features blood & injury time, choice of Top, Bt, N or Diff., C-Stalling and C- Warning. You can not enter you lineups ahead of time, so it has some room to improve.
Track Wrestling has a pretty App for ipad/iphone, but you must pay annually to use this, I think is around $50. They will gather your stats for you.
To be honest I think that every Coach should be giving that speech to their kids at the being of the season. Wrestling by definition is an individual sport, but what some people fail to realize is that there is also a team aspect to it. If not then why do we wrestle dual meets and keep score? Why not do nothing but tournaments. I believe some people are getting spring/summer wrestling confused with what High School Wrestling is all about. Yes it is up to the wrestler to do all the necessary things to become a High School State Champ. It is the coach?s responsibility to try and bring that out in each kid, but remember he has 14 varsity wrestlers and X amount of jv wrestlers that he is try to hone. Not everyone can be a State Champion. But a good coach knows how to push, pull yell, scream and jockey his athletes around into a State Championship Team. Which I think is great for the sport of wrestling. You will end up having more kids coming out for the sport (which is what we need), more fans coming out to sport their team, and School bragging rights. All because everyone wants to be a part of a Championship Team! In my Opinion that is what High School Wrestling is all about and what every coach and parent should strive for in their student athlete. And yes, I stood on top of the podium twice when I was in high school.
I do not recall a college program ever having problems with getting boys to join their ranks. "More guys wrestling will take the bulls eyes off of wrestling." I do not think so!
If fans would start to come out and support their teams like the Iowa and Oklahoma fans, this might change how the college facuity looks at itself. In the end it comes down to finances and then they throw a red ribbon around it and call it Title 9 when they do away with a program.
I get that you are against women wrestling that is fine, but I have two girls that like the sport and want to continue on with it. No different than girls wanting to participate in Judo, Karate, etc? Trust me when I say that Boys High School wrestling is not going anywhere. It is to popular and to many people make a living off the sport (selling Singlets Shoes, Head Gear, etc...)for us to throw it in the trash because of title 9.
