IndianaJoe 6 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 As we start to shift our focus from the international styles back to folkstyle the preseason tournaments are on the radar.

Here is the information on this year's event on September 9th. http://indianamat.com/index.php?/articles.html/indianamat-hoosier-preseason-open/2018-indianamat-hoosier-preseason-open-september-9th-r820/ Registration is now open and we will cap the registration at 650 paid entries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

REscalera 189 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 KY with 3 in the finals. Deck brothers and Wheeler. Looks like they made sure not to have a KY final with Insko v Host in the quarters and Insko v Deck in the semi finals. They will be fun to watch compete during the season.

Bearcat 26 Report post Posted September 10, 2018 Nate, Thomas and Gentry are all 3 top notch kids on and off the mat that display humility, work ethic and give time to help others. Could be no better representatives of our state and sport. Congrats guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndianaJoe 6 Report post Posted September 10, 2018 As always Kentucky brings a tough crew up here every year. I think they even bring more kids that Michigan most years and we are about 45 minutes from the Michigan border. The Gentry brothers had awesome days, congrats on the titles and being the first brothers to win IHPO titles. Kentucky wrestling is definitely getting better every year. Thanks to all those that made the trip to the Hoosier state. Next year will be the 10th IHPO, mark your calendar for September 8th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrBaker 497 Report post Posted September 10, 2018 Also placing for Ky was Deprest, 4th at 223. What happened with Yost getting a DQ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charger 105 Report post Posted September 10, 2018 I think you mean Yost, but he didn’t get DQ’d.. he lost 2-1 to Insko and lost another close one to a top ranked Indiana kid (who Chase beat at Virginia Beach). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fat fingered typo. I swear I saw yesterday that it said DQ. Brackets don't say it now. That kid did have the top seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
REscalera 189 Report post Posted September 11, 2018 Whoa! #2 @ 126 beats #1 @ 138 #2 @ 132 beats #2 @ 126 #3 @ 132 beats #3 @ 145 It will be interesting to see how these results influence the weight these wrestlers go this year. Be 1 heck of a treat if G. Deck, Yost, Insko, wheeler and TKC all battle it out for a title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EAST 46 Report post Posted September 11, 2018 It's great we had three place first and a forth. Let's look at the tournament overall. I can only comment on what I saw. K. Kulmer I only saw one of his matches but he looked like a freight train he ran through the kid he wrestled. W. Andreoni can wrestle with any one he was had some great matches, two college coaches asked me about him. Several of the lighter weights from Trinity and St-X won matches. R.Morgan, M. Ocasio, C. Fink and J. McClintic both went 3-2. There was a huge improvement overall in the level of wrestling from our state. I watched several go 0-2 last year. As for the brackets I understand you can't separate kids from one state but at 141 all of them on one side is not good. In the seeding criteria it asks that you put which school or club you are with so they can separate those kids. So two at 148 same club meet in the quarters, so apparently that didn't apply. In the big picture our state is improving each year. Great Job Guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
