Got-em thanks. Sorting out the Walls from Caldwell now.

I have been trying to keep something like this. Family History of brothers and Dads and Sons. Families I have but not sure if brothers, cousins, dads, uncles ect. Jude (Sh. Cl.), Leavelle (Christ), Merritt (Hop), Stepp (Sh Cl), Walls (Cald). I have figured out. Cole (Con), Cooper (SK), Courtney (Wood), Ervin (Un), Herron-leak (NH)

I did some comparisons to last years totals. 2022 had 1085 wrestlers compete at Region. This year 1186. 101 more wrestlers this year. 2022 had 119 teams compete at Region. This year 121 teams. 2 more teams (What happened to Danville at region?) Region 7 lost (2) teams, and Region 1 and Region 4 lost (1) team Region 8 gained (4) teams, Region 5 and Region 6 Rained (1) team Region 8 gained (41) participants and Region 4 gained (31) participants Region 5 (+16) Region 6 (+14) Region 2 (+14) Region 2 (+8) Region 1 (-3) Region 7 (-21)

I need a definition of All State. Does that mean state placer or state qualifier. Top 8 like AA in college??? (only placed top 4 till 80's and top 6 till 2000's)

19 year old's have always been allowed to compete. The cut off was changed form (you must be 18 when the season started to, You must be 18 when August started) Why punish a kid who may have struggled in gradeschool? If you look at my other post in "Sportsmanship" you can see that KY is more strict than others at age.

OK you have made this mention in two topics. I looked at both Ohio and Indiana. What is your beef????? Indiana ----1. Age Eligibility (Rule 4). You will not have turned 20 by the scheduled date of the state finals of IHSAA Tournament Series in your sport Ohio--- Bylaw 4-2-1 (High School Age Limitation) Once a student attains the age of 20, the student will no longer be eligible for interscholastic athletic competition notwithstanding where that 20th birthday falls in relation to the sports season.

OK I went all nerd again with the statistics. I looked at all the teams in each region and determined how many wt classes each team filled. this is what I came up with. I found it interesting that the largest number of teams had a full squad (20 teams had 14 wrestlers at region) Team Count R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 Total 14 2 3 3 3 2 3 1 3 20 13 3 2 2 1 2 1 0 1 12 12 1 2 2 0 2 1 0 1 9 11 1 0 2 2 3 1 4 1 14 10 3 2 1 1 1 3 2 2 15 9 1 0 1 6 2 1 1 1 13 8 1 0 2 1 0 2 1 3 10 7 0 2 1 2 0 0 3 0 8 6 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 2 5 5 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 2 5 4 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 3 5 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Total Wrestlers 146 140 160 168 145 142 121 164 1186 # Teams 14 15 15 17 13 14 13 20 Wrestlers Wrestlers # Teams # Teams R4 168 SS1 614 R8 20 SS1 61 R8 164 SS2 572 R4 17 SS2 60 R3 160 R2 15 R1 146 R3 15 R5 145 R1 14 R6 142 R6 14 R2 140 R5 13 R7 121 R7 13 Total 1186 Total 121 Region wrestler and teams.xlsx

Thanks I would never have known they were brothers.

Yeah I knew I had that screwed up somewhere. (Fixed it)

I am sure I am not one of those that "know college wrestling" but starting out slow with a new program is not a bad choice. Get a winning tradition so that kids will want to come to your school then move up as you get better. Gradual improvement is not a bad thing. I applaud anyone that can get wins, no matter what level. But who am I.

The easy one is the Ervins from Union Gary (3rd), Tim (3rd, 1st), Robert ( 3rd, 1st, 1st) and Brad ( 1st, 2nd, 3rd) Luke (5th, 7th, 1st), Gabe (7th) , (Gary's sons) Max (4th,1st), Mitch (6th, 6th, 1st, 1st) Brock (5X 1st) (Tim's sons) Isaac (3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 1st), Caleb (2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st) Saul (3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 1st) Matthias (6th, 1st, 1st, 1st) Micah (7th, 3rd, 1st, 1st,) (Robert's sons) Coopers from Simon Kenton Craig (3rd, 1st), Brad (2nd, 1st, 1st,1st) , Kevin (3rd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st), Neil (5th, 2nd, 1st) Cousins Josh (3rd, 7th, 7th, 2nd) Austin (8th, 3rd, 1st), Kyle (1st) Merritt's, Stepp's, Jude's Walls' (I don't know who is brother or cousin) I'm sure there may be others that I have missed.

Here are some more stats comparing Semi State 1 and 2 Semi State 1 won 214 matches Semi State 2 won 206 matches. The most dominating Semi State weight class was at 113 Where Semi State 2 won 21 matches to Semi State 2 winning 9 matches. Here is where each Semi State faired in weight classes. SS1 157-- 19 to 11 190-- 19 to 11 150--18 to 12 165-- 18 to 12 175-- 18 to 12 138-- 16 to 14 SS2 113-- 21 to 9 126-- 20 to 10 106-- 16 to 14 132-- 16 to 14 Hwt-- 16 to 14 Tied 120-- 15 to 15 144-- 15 to 15 215-- 15 to 15 Maybe if I get time I will compare regions. Yes I know I am a nerd.

Thank you. I saw it from the opposite direction. This angle does not really show just how much of an arch Charlie had on this throw. He arched so far he was facing the mat before they hit.

Now c'mon I may not use them but I do have a fb. lol

Best throw of the tournament that I saw was Charlie McKune in his 3rd place match against Ricketts. Does anyone have a video or picture of that throw?
