STATE FINALS: Preview of all 14 weight classes

By E.
Shawn Aylsworth
Managing Editor
 
The 69th
Annual IHSAA Individual Wrestling State Finals are set for Friday and Saturday
at Conseco Fieldhouse, and if you aren�t jacked up about that then you must be
in a coma from shoveling snow.
 
I�ve gone
inside the numbers and, as HoosierAuthority.com�s resident on-staff wrestling
ââ?¬Å?expertââ?¬Â ââ?¬â?? I did actually manage to not get stuck that one time during the
half-season I wrestled as a junior, with the high point being my moral victory
over Technical Fall in a 16-2 loss ââ?¬â?? plotted out a look at what could happen at
Conseco.
 
Here ââ?¬Ë?tis:
 
103 lbs.
A year ago, Mishawaka�s
Josh Harper completed a perfect freshman season by defeating Edgewood
junior Chris
Lindauer, 6-3, for the 103
state title. With Harper moving up to 112, that leaves the door open for No.
1-ranked sophomore Camden Eppert (32-1 and fourth a year ago at 103) to fulfill
his destiny. Only trouble there is Eppert was upset for the New Castle Semistate
crown by No. 17 freshman Brandon Wright of Indianapolis Cathedral, meaning
Eppert theoretically got a worse draw at Conseco.
 
Not so. Eppert has only three other ranked
opponents in the top half of the 16-team bracket, and none of them are higher
than sixth (Merrillville�s
35-3 senior Wilson Williams, whom Eppert could get in the quarterfinals). Wright�s
bracket, meanwhile, has five other ranked foes, including No. 3 Evansville
Reitz sophomore Alex Johns (47-2) in a potential semifinal. That�s if Wright (41-5)
can get past either No. 7 Crown Point freshman Anthony Hopkins (36-3) or
ninth-ranked Columbus North sophomore Francisco Colon (47-6) in the lower
bracket quarters.
 
112 lbs.
Last year�s champion, Danny Coyne of Beech Grove, was a senior, but his 112
finals victim by a score of 3-1 ââ?¬â?? East Nobleââ?¬â?¢s Taylor March ââ?¬â?? was just a freshman. March has
moved up to 119, making Evansville Mater Dei�s No. 1 senior Sean Herron (43-2
and fourth last year at 112) the favorite, right?
 
Wrong. That�s because the lower bracket is
a meat grinder and defending 103 champ Josh Harper (35-0 and ranked No. 2 at
119) waits as a possible quarterfinals opponent ââ?¬â?? and heââ?¬â?¢s yet to lose in two
years. The winner of that showdown could get second-ranked Homestead junior Justin Wight (30-0) in the
semis.
 
The top half survivor figures to be either
third-ranked Warsaw
sophomore Justin Brooks (40-2) or No. 4 Cashe� Quiroga of Lawrence North (44-1).
Harper just beat Brooks, 9-5, for the Merrillville Semistate
title.
 
119 lbs.
Taylor March, the defending 112 runner-up from East
Noble, has to be considered one of the state finals� heaviest favorites at 119.
Ranked No. 1 and 39-0, the sophomore would face at most only one upper bracket opponent
with less than five losses by the time he reached the championship round. His
biggest pre-finals hiccups figure to be either third-ranked Perry Meridian
junior Brian Vest (48-1) in the quarters or No. 3 (at 125) Mishawaka senior
Nick Wiesjahn (37-5 and third at 112 last year) in the semis.
 
On the bottom, Columbia City seventh-ranked senior Eli Michel
(29-3 and eighth here a year ago) figures to battle either No. 6 Bellmont
senior Derek Nelson (37-7) or ninth-ranked Whiteland senior Matthew Fields
(37-1 and eighth a year ago at 112) for a shot at March. March beat Nelson,
8-0, then pinned Michel at 5:31 for the Woodlan Semistate
title.
 
125 lbs.
With Munster senior Eric McGill
ââ?¬â?? the defending state champ here and a HoosierAuthority.com contributing
blogger ââ?¬â?? having grazed on up to 140, that leaves the door open for this yearââ?¬â?¢s
only undefeated 125-pounder in the field, Bloomington South�s No. 1-ranked
Reece Freeman (40-0). Freeman finished fifth at 119 last year and figures to
roll through the lower bracket this weekend, with his stiffest test probably
coming in a semifinal bout with East Central No. 4 senior Joseph Hollstegge (38-1).
 
Up top, Valparaiso second-ranked junior Thomas
Churchard (43-1) figures to have it almost as easy, though a quarterfinal joust
with the 2005 112-pound state champion, Beech Grove fifth-ranked senior Ethan
Harris (35-4), could surprise.
 
130 lbs.
Bloomington Northââ?¬â?¢s Dustin Bruce ââ?¬â?? the 130
runner-up a year ago to Mooresvilleââ?¬â?¢s Alexander Warren ââ?¬â??
has moved up to
135, as have last year�s fifth- (Angola�s David Zimmer) and
eighth-place (Warren Central�s Josh Norris) finishers. That sets the stage for
a battle of East Central senior No. 1 Jacob Fleckenstein (fifth last year at
125) vs. Hobart
junior No. 2 Eric Galka (the 103 state champion in 2005).
 
However, that matchup of 46-and-ohs would occur in the upper
bracket semifinals, making for one whale of an anti-climax. The lower half, on
the other hand, appears to be wide open. Six of the eight wrestlers are ranked,
led by No. 3 Warren Central senior Chris Conte (40-6), No. 6 Tip sophomore Levi
Rutledge (44-2), and undefeated No. 21 Brandon Brown of Carroll (Fort Wayne).
 
135 lbs.
Last year�s runner-up, Hobart�s
Brennan Cosgrove, has moved up to 140. But the defending eighth-place
135-pounder is Warsaw
junior Matt Elvidge (40-2), and he�s ranked No. 1 here. However, Elvidge was upset
at last week�s Merrillville
Semistate
in the
semifinals and finished third to unranked Glenn senior Asa Ennis (31-1). That
monkey wrench means that 135 may be one of the most open classes this weekend.
 
Opposite Elvidge in the upper bracket is Castle senior No. 4
Caleb Schmitt, a potential semifinal opponent should he get past Zionsville
senior No. 9 Graham Youngs (43-1) in a possible quarterfinal. Angola�s 42-0
senior David Zimmer ââ?¬â?? ranked fourth at 130 ââ?¬â?? faces a potential lower bracket
quarterfinal bout with Floyd Central senior No. 3 Jake Missi (41-2), with the
survivor likely challenging Bloomington North senior No. 7 Dustin Bruce (14-3),
the defending state runner-up at 130, in the semis.
 
Toldja this was wide open.
 
140 lbs.
Defending state champ Andrew Howe of
Hanover Central moves up to 152, making Fairfield
senior No. 3 Rhys Canaday (43-0) ââ?¬â?? seventh here last year ââ?¬â?? the top returner.
Canaday should cruise into the upper bracket semifinals, where either Hobart junior No. 2
Brennan Cosgrove (42-3 and the defending 135 state runner-up) or fifth-ranked
Indianapolis Cathedral sophomore Gavin McGinley (39-1) figure to await.
 
But lurking on the bottom half of the 140
draw is top-ranked Munster
senior Eric McGill (39-3), the defending 125 state champ. McGill appears to
have one of the easiest first three rounds of any highly ranked competitor this
weekend ââ?¬â?? he faces No. 7 nine-loss New Albany senior Martin Woodrome in the
first round and possibly No. 8 Jennings County senior Bobby Willis (49-2) in
the semis.
 
145 lbs.
Last year�s runner-up, Cooper Samuels of Floyd Central, has moved up to 160,
making last year�s fourth-place finisher, Merrillville senior No. 1 Jamal
Lawrence (the only Hoosier ranked nationally ââ?¬â?? 11th at 152 by
Wrestling 411), the favorite. But Lawrence has
plenty of competition, not the least of which is a probable lower bracket
quarterfinals date with Plainfield
senior No. 2 Collin Carlucci.
 
But Carlucci (34-1) ââ?¬â?? one of four wrestlers
at this weight with only one loss ââ?¬â?? is still smarting from a 13-5 whupping he
took for the 145 Evansville
Reitz Semistate

title from Evansville Mater Dei senior No. 4 Nick Dewig (44-0). Dewig should
make it to the upper bracket finale, where he could face either one-loss Culver
Academies senior No. 3 Garrett James (46-1 and a disappointing third at the
Merrillville Semistate) or one-loss Greensburg senior No. 5 Michael Pittman
(38-1).
 
In other words, 145 is loaded.
 
152 lbs.
Last year�s fourth-place finisher, Ben
Davis senior No. 2 Cahmelan Porter, returns again and should have little
trouble reaching the upper bracket semifinal � where he should run into
virtually unbeatable Andrew Howe of Hanover Central. Howe (44-0) is ranked No.
1 and has lost only once in his three-year high school career ââ?¬â?? in the 130
championship two years ago to three-time state champion Reece Humphrey of
Lawrence North. That�s 142-1 if you are counting.
 
The bottom
half features perhaps the weakest bracket of the tournament. A pair of one-loss
seniors
ââ?¬â?? No. 6 Eric Henning of Carmel (44-1) and eighth-ranked Chris Dean
(42-1) of Northview ââ?¬â?? should meet in the quarterfinals, with the survivor
facing no higher than a 12th-ranked opponent for the right to try to
become Howe�s second victim in 147 matches.
 
160 lbs.
Last year�s fourth-place
finisher, Joe Wing of Merrillville,
has moved up to 171, but returning sixth-place 160-pounder Indianapolis
Cathedral senior John Schmaltz returns with a perfect record and the No. 1
ranking. The 37-0 Schmaltz should cruise into the upper bracket semifinal,
where Floyd Central junior
Cooper
Samuels (unranked despite a
stellar 45-1 record and a runner-up finish at 145 a year ago) or
Greenfield-Central No. 7 junior Caleb Freeman should await.
 
The lower bracket finds five Top 12
wrestlers, including one undefeated (28-0 Peru senior No. 8 Derrick Duke) and
three ââ?¬â?? Perry Meridian senior No. 2 Kyle Adams (48-1), New Prairie senior No. 5
Philip Oudhuis (38-1), and Greencastle senior No. 12 Chris Pingleton (43-1) ââ?¬â??
with one loss. Adams opens with Pingleton (only third at the Evansville Reitz
Semistate), while Duke starts off with
fourth-ranked Culver Academies junior Branden James (44-4), a disappointing
fourth at the Merrillville
Semistate
.
 
Should we see a 1 versus 2 Schmaltz-Adams
championship duel, the former has the upper hand by virtue of his finals
victory at the New Castle
Semistate
.
 
171 lbs.
Mishawaka�s Ian Hinton has moved up to 189, leaving a pretty clear-cut road for
last year�s sixth-place finisher, Evansville Memorial senior No. 1 Matt Powless
(47-0), to face Merrillville
senior No. 2 Joe Wing (43-1) in the finals. Wing took fourth at 160 last year
and has a relatively easy path to the championship, with No. 17 Frank Troiano
of Indianapolis Cathedral (45-1) possibly his biggest obstacle in the lower
bracket semis.
 
Up top, Powless has a tougher draw, with a
potential battle with fellow undefeated No. 4 Ryan Konrath of Jimtown (40-0)
looming in the semifinals. Also of note for Powless is a probable quarterfinals
date with Crown Point junior No. 8 Andrew
Szymborski (35-4), whom Wing beat for the Merrillville Semistate title and
whose mom has written a journal for HoosierAuthority.com (thanks, Diana!).
 
189 lbs.
Northridge senior No. 3 Joe Gibson (33-5)
and fourth-ranked Leo senior Chad Friend (37-0) finished sixth and seventh,
respectively, at 189 a year ago and are in opposite brackets this year. Friend
looks to have the better matchups in the lower half (just three other ranked
foes), with Evansville Mater Dei junior No. 5 Jake Schneider (39-1) appearing
to be his only threat in a possible semifinal battle.
 
Gibson, meanwhile, finds five other ranked
foes in the top half, including a probable quarterfinals match with top-ranked
Ian Hinton of Mishawaka.
Yikes. The 171 state champ last year and 171 runner-up in 2005, Hinton (44-0)
moves up one class and has lost just once in his last 130 matches.
 
If March is one prohibitive favorite at
119, then Hinton is the other at 189.
 
215 lbs.
The eight
placewinners from a year ago were all seniors, meaning somebody new will take
home the 215 title this year. (Carlos Mencia alert: DEE-dee-DEE!!). North
Central (Indianapolis)
senior No. 21 Luke Watkins (13-0) and Penn senior No. 3 Jeremiah Maggart (38-8)
ââ?¬â?? both moved up after placing fifth and eighth,
respectively, at 189 last year.
 
Unluckily for Maggart ââ?¬â?? who barely qualified after finishing fourth at the
Merrillville Semistate ââ?¬â?? the 215 lower
bracket is the only one out of 28 in the entire state finals where every
wrestler is ranked. And it includes top-ranked South Bend Riley junior George
Malone (42-0).
 
Watkins hardly
catches a break with five ranked opponents on top where, strangely, the two
wrestlers with the best records (Watkins and 37-1 Norwell junior No. 23 Hunter
Harper) have the worst rankings. Thus, it seems pretty wide open for who gets
to tackle Malone in the finals.
 
Heavyweight
Benton Central senior
Bryan Benner finished fifth here a year ago and comes to Conseco with a No. 1
ranking and a 46-1 record. That one loss, however, came in the Merrillville Semistate
semis to Mishawaka
junior No. 11 Randy Morin (42-3), who then lost in the finals to Glenn senior
No. 20 Derek Traversa. Benner could get another shot at Morin in the lower half
semifinal, but he will have to first get past second-ranked Perry Meridian
junior Chico Adams (49-0) in the quarters. (1 versus 2 in the quarterfinals ââ?¬â??
that�s some good seeding, no?)
 
Despite that low
ranking, Traversa (34-1) has by far the best record of the upper bracket eight
ââ?¬â?? and he doesnââ?¬â?¢t have to wade through Adams, Benner, or Morin to get to
the finals. Assuming he stays hot, Traversa would probably face Martinsville senior No. 4
Dustin Beliles in the semis. The prize? Wading boots.
 
That�s it. Six former
state champions, 22 unbeaten wrestlers, 33 one-loss competitors. The state
finals. LET�S WRESTLE!!!!

Champion blog: Munster's Eric McGill

As part of our ever-evolving
statewide coverage of all Indiana high school sports, we at
HoosierAuthority.com are proud to bring you the wrestling blog of 2006
125-pound state champion Eric McGill of Munster. Eric finished a
fantastic junior season at 46-1, including a 3-2 victory in the state
finals over Portage�s Adam Walters, and he�s back to take the title at
140 this year, where he�s ranked No. 1.

Here is Eric�s pre-state finals installment of the 2006-2007 season �

Hey wrestling fans, it’s Eric McGill back for one last wrestling
blog before the season is all said and done. Going into this weekend, I
am 39-3 and ready for a great weekend.

Second-ranked Brennan Cosgrove and I have wrestled six times, with
each of us winning three. (I am his only three losses, and he is my
only three losses.) We are both looking forward to the rubber match:
Game 7 to decide a state championship on Saturday night.

For all the fans in attendance, I hope that you enjoy the great
wrestling that is bound to take place over the course of the weekend. I
wish the best of luck to whomever you are there to cheer on.

Eric McGill
Munster HS

STATE FINALS: Six former champs lead the way on individuals weekend

From ihsaa.org
 
Four returning state champions from 2006 and two others that won titles
in 2005 head the field of participants in the 69th Annual IHSAA Individual
Wrestling State Finals this weekend at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
 
Two hundred twenty-four wrestlers in all ââ?¬â?? 16 in each of the 14 weight
classes
ââ?¬â?? will begin first-round competition Friday, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m. ET.
First-round winners will return to wrestle on Saturday, with quarterfinal
action beginning at 9:30 a.m. and semifinal matches to follow after all weight
classes have concluded. Consolation bouts begin at 5 p.m., with championship
matches under the spotlight scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
 
Two of the four defending state champions are from Mishawaka and enter the state finals
undefeated over the last two seasons. Sophomore Josh Harper, last year�s winner
at 103 pounds, enters with a 35-0 mark at 112 while teammate Ian Hinton will
attempt to make his third state championship match in thee years. He finished
as the runner-up at 171 in 2005 before winning that class last year with a 42-0
mark. This year, he�s 44-0 at 189.
 
Also returning with the hope of winning for the second year in a row are
Munster
senior Eric McGill and Hanover Central junior Andrew Howe. McGill won the 125-pound
crown a year ago and comes in 39-3 at 140 this season. Howe, like Harper and
Hinton, completed a perfect campaign last year by going 51-0 at 140. He�ll
begin Friday�s first round at 152 with a 44-0 record.
 
Two other former winners are back hoping to duplicate the success they
enjoyed in ââ?¬Ë?05. Beech Grove senior Ethan Harris won the 112 bracket as a
sophomore but fell in the 119-pound quarterfinals last season, and he�s
advanced to this year�s 125 state finals with a 35-4 ledger. Hobart junior Eric Galka brings a perfect
44-0 record into the 130-pound tournament this weekend. He won it all at 103
two years ago but was beaten in the first round of last year�s state finals at
119.
 
In all, 21 participants have made it to the state finals with an
unblemished mark this year.
 
One hundred and eighteen schools will be represented at the state finals
this year, with Evansville Mater Dei leading the way with 11 participants in
the 14 classes. Mishawaka
will be represented by seven wrestlers, while Bellmont, Indianapolis Cathedral,
and Perry Meridian each have six. Mater Dei and Cathedral each had four
individuals win their class in last Saturday�s semistate action, and both schools
will also participate in the Team
Wrestling State Finals
at Center Grove next Saturday, Feb. 24.

Tom Clark to be honored as wrestling official of the year
A licensed official for 23 years, Noblesville resident Tom Clark is this
year�s recipient of the Interscholastic Athletic Official Association Award for
excellence in the sport of wrestling.
 
Clark will be
honored in a special ceremony during this weekend�s state finals at Conseco
Fieldhouse. Including this season, Clark has
11 sectionals, nine regionals, seven semistates, and four state finals to his
credit. He is one of 12 officials working the 2007 individual finals.
 
Each year, the Indiana High School Athletic Association, in cooperation
with the National Federation of Interscholastic Officials Association,
recognizes and honors an outstanding official in each of the 11 sports during

Clark was nominated for this award by Dave Nicholson, sports chairman of
the Indiana Officials Association (IOA), one of 26 associations located
throughout Indiana
comprised of men and women who give up much of their personal time to assist in
providing meaningful and healthy activities for the student-athletes of our
state. This honor comes as a result of Clark�s
selection by a committee representing those 26 associations. Statewide, there
are almost 7,500 officials licensed by the IHSAA in 11 sports.
 
An 11-year member of the Indiana Officials Association, he has served as
an IHSAA rules interpreter for three years.

STATE FINALS: The individual tournament from a year ago

By E.
Shawn Aylsworth
Managing Editor
 
With the 69th Annual IHSAA
Individual Wrestling
State
Finals
set for this Friday and Saturday at Conseco Fieldhouse, here is a look
back at last year�s individual championships �
 
A funny
thing happened on the way to the
68th Annual IHSAA
Individual Wrestling State Finals last February at Conseco
Fieldhouse
ââ?¬â?? all the returning state champions lost!
 
Well,
almost all of them. Bloomington South�s Paul Young (49-0) wasn�t about to let
that happen as he defended his 160-pound championship with four easy wins, the
first two by fall.
 
But mucho
carnage occurred at 119, where a trio of returning state winners was gone after
the semifinals.
The survivor was Merrillville senior Javier Salas, last year�s
sixth-place finisher who ousted last year�s champion, Evansville Central�s
Anthony Williams, in the semis by a 4-3 count in overtime. Salas (40-1) then
pinned Norwell senior Blake Harner in 3:18 in the finals.
 
Nathan Harris of Beech Grove, the 2005 champ at 112, was upset in the 119
quarterfinals, losing for the first time in 77 matches. And Hobart�s Eric Galka,
last year�s winner at 103, lost in Friday�s first round.
 
The other
returning champ to not repeat was Perry Meridian 140-pound senior Nick Walpole,
who dropped a 4-2 overtime decision to the eventual champion, Hanover Central
sophomore Andrew Howe. Howe was the runner-up a year ago at 130.
 
Mishawaka
wrestlers, meanwhile, had a banner day as three individuals laid claim to state
titles at Conseco Fieldhouse.
 
Josh Harper, Ian Hinton, and Pat Day became the first Cavemen state
champs since Brad Harper won the 152 crown in 1998, and the trifecta
for coach Darrick Snyder also was
the most by the school in the same year.
 
Harper offered a glimpse of things to come by completing a perfect
freshman season at 47-0, taking a 6-3 decision from Edgewood�s
Chris Lindauer at 103. A year after finishing as the
runner-up at 171, Hinton returned to complete a 42-0 junior season with a 2-0
overtime thriller over Franklin�s
Phillip Glasser. And Day won at 215 with a 12-10
decision over Cody Johnson, also of Franklin.
 
Day was responsible for eclipsing one of the oldest state finals records
on Saturday afternoon as he pinned his semifinal opponent in just 11 seconds.
The previous record of 15 seconds had been shared by Wilford
Childers of Lowell in 1929 and Charles McDaniel of Bloomington in 1932.
 
Bloomington South and Merrillville
both had two state winners as well. Bloomington South, with its state-best 65
champions, had back-to-back winners in Kurt Kinser at
152 and Paul Young at 160.
 
Young captured a 9-4 decision over Columbia City�s Bryan Deutsch, the
152 runner-up in 2005, while Kinser (the runner-up at
145 a year ago), got it done this time around, eking out a 1-0 decision over
Perry Meridian�s Kevin Clem.
 
Aside from Salas at 119, Merrillville�s
other win came from 275-pounder Dexter Larimore in a 12-1 domination of Evansville
Harrison�s Aaron Lindenschmidt. The third time was
the charm for the 41-0 senior, who had been the heavyweight runner-up each of
the last two seasons. It was Lindenschmidt�s only
loss of the year.
