Got this a little bit with the IHSWCA Team State tournament. Right after the New Year and the weekend before conference for a lot of programs. Obviously, it isn't an individual event, but you do get to see the top guys from each class face off. Would be interesting to see a fully classed tournament though. In recent years, the IHSWCA has held a 1A/2A state tournament which occurs right after IHSAA state.

Once heard that Danny Hodge lived in a dug-out creek for a period of time... wrestling mythology rules.

I'm not old enough to have been around for the emergence of guys such as Cael, the Brands Bros., Kolat, etc. into college. Through miscellaneous interviews and articles I have heard stories such as Kolat at the Midlands in high school, but prior to the advent of social media, what was the national hype and opinions on these guys (and others) as recruits. Nowadays, with sites such as Flo, InterMat, and Instagram, everyone sees who the best are, where they train, where they compete, and their recruiting journeys. How was it back in the day though?

Chance Marsteller is the largest little person/dwarf that I have ever come into contact with.

Ned Shuck of Bellarmine wrestled for Jim Zalesky at Iowa.

Felt the same about Matt Finesilver to UMich a couple of seasons back.

Yes. Believe a situation that Bellarmine is just now coming out of into the SoCon.

Was always confused by the whole inconvenient pillar placement in wrestling rooms. I would assume they are for structural purposes? Think there could be a better location but I am certainly no engineer.
