    I just don't think it is broken. Again, we have an excellent tournament. I am NOT concerned that only 16 kids call themselves SQs....it is an elite group. Not to mention, the lessons learned in wrestling are learned regardless of your finish (Sectional Qualifier or State Champion). Let's ask Oak Hill who had 10 semi-state qualifiers if they want class wrestling ( seriously, I have no idea if they would like it or not). I would guess their school is buzzing with support for their 10 qualifiers (essentially these kids are viewed as champions by their coaches and classmates whether ANY of them qualify for state or not). Just my opinion.

    Why would we go to a classed system? Our tournament is one of the best in the country as it is.
  3. BeastMode#31
    I would have to agree with you. At New Castle, Chastain vs. McKinney is another brutal matchup. These four wrestlers definitely belong at Bankers Life next weekend.

    She lost the match, but apparently she has a mean headlock.

    ^ I'm sure they won't take that comment as disrespectful...

    Conspiracy? Bracket-gate 2015? Could "WrestleMan" have tampered with the brackets? Lol Seriously though, there are going to be some great matches Saturday. Good luck to all combatants!

    It's definitely not perfect BUT I respect and appreciate the people who put in hours and hours of hard work to give us a great tournament. I think (and hope) it is on track to become a very popular and profitable event that will interest the IHSAA again. This will allow us to have extra weigh-ins and ideal tourney date (after individual state) and officially recognize class team state champions. My only complaint with the current system is that it puts senior-laden teams at a disadvantage. It also affects successful programs (Perry's, EMDs, Mishawakas, Yorktowns, etc.) who have state quality caliber kids wrestling JV. I understand the two "at large" teams voted in help mitigate this discrepancy. But again, it is a good alternative that lots of people have dedicated time and energy to promote when IHSAA yanked the team tourney from us.

    That's impressive. Especially considering there are only a couple hundred boys in the school. Must be some good coaching and tough kids.

    ^ Random draw I believe. There should be 4 Regional champs; two on each side of the bracket. Hudkins and Egli just randomly selected to share one side. Same as State. It would be nice to seed semi-state and state tournaments. Many state championship matches (between the best 2 wrestlers) have happened in the state semi-finals. Once saw it happen in semi-state in the the round to go (Rosbottom vs Jankowski).

    New Castle Chastain vs McKinney is a tough one. State placer going home early here. Bailey vs McCoy Anderson vs Nier Ragle vs Smiley Red vs ONeill Nick Ellis vs Nick Smith first round.
  11. BeastMode#31
    Add Goddard to the list as Regional champ. Another great match with Diep and Murphy. Pruitt avenged Marion County loss with a major decision.
  12. BeastMode#31
    Definitely heading in the right direction with some nice individual and team victories. Of course time will tell how successful Ersland and the Boilers become, BUT how can you not be optimistic Powerline?
  13. BeastMode#31
    Did Beech Grove turnout drop due to Super Bowl Sunday? I think it was down significantly from last year. Given the number of kids this year, is there any chance Whiteland would move the tourney to the High School next year? Or at least a gym that has actual bleachers and can accommodate more than 3 mats.

    I understand wanting a #1 placement vs a #4 at state tourney under normal circumstances...however, as you mentioned, these are not normal circumstances. I have to believe a guy like Ferguson is not worried about facing anyone on Friday night at state (or Saturday for that matter). To paraphrase another Indianamat poster...he just has to qualify for the tourney and then "go for broke". You gotta love this time of the year.
  15. BeastMode#31
    Hang in there, Coach! Lots of extenuating circumstances beyond your control. I am sure your commitment to the sport/team was not lost on your two remaining guys. I see you got one of them through to Regional. Keep up the good work and good luck this weekend.
  16. BeastMode#31
    Warren central looks to be peaking right about now (e.g. Murphy, McKinney, Pruitt, Herrick, et al). Not surprising given the depth and talent on the coaching staff.
  17. BeastMode#31
    Try not to "like" your own comments either.
  18. BeastMode#31
    Not necessarily true...and no need to add insult to injury. It could have been a small lesion, as he suggested. He thought he had done his due diligence by going above and beyond to get a doctor's release. Again, I hope the young man was not a senior and lives to fight another year.
  19. BeastMode#31
    That is a tough break. Sorry to hear that. Hope he isn't a Senior.
  20. BeastMode#31
    Sounds like a tough young man. Bottom line is that it is great news if he is back on the mat.
  21. BeastMode#31
    Micic got Teched by Zach Sanders prior to the FF. Nonetheless, you gotta respect the Micic goes looking for the best competition and doesn't back down from anyone.
  22. BeastMode#31
    . ?
  23. BeastMode#31
    According to Joe there are 92! I would bet this is the all-time high, but I'm not sure.
  24. BeastMode#31
    Funny, I remember a guy last year asking which team should keep the bus running...can't recall exactly who it was. Should be some good competition Saturday...good luck to all.
  25. BeastMode#31
    Warren is a tough kid, especially for a freshman at a tough weight class. I was very impressed with him at county.
