    Garren vs. Farrow....good stuff! Likes like a very solid card, overall. Lots of talented teams.

    Weights are from 2012 District meet. Don't know where they will be on Sat. Good luck to all wrestlers!
  • basementtrained
    Had a hard time with Troy and Westerville Central. Can anyone help?
  • basementtrained
    Missed a couple Beechwood Bangers also. Sorry to all i missed:(
  • cruiser_96
    basementtrained - heck of a list!!! (I dig the "THE GMHS")

    152: Kresovic (WC) just won the Jonathan Alder tournament. Troy had a few tough kids at Pickerington North's tournament. Maybe a heavyweight too! Those results are on baumspage. I'll check. Or someone else can check. Whatevs.

    This is always a great tournament!
  • basementtrained
    Just wanted to list returning state and district qualifiers that may attend and got carried away. figured you would like the THE. cant put them in under this crit. but a BIG shoutout to your Hammer.... Mr. Wright and your Anvil.... Mr. Sollack.. best of luck to both
  • 1prouddad
    Basement Trained- Excellent List! Thanks!

    So how about it Cruiser? Will there be the parade of champions? A little AC/DC pumping through "THE" GMHS gym? :thumbup:

    Also- have you lined up Justin Bieber for the Awards?
  • cruiser_96
    Sadly, Justin Bieber can not attend.

    And I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to do a "highlight" finals match! (Notice I didn't say spotlight! Jeesh! A kid could get hurt that way!) Run the 5th and 3rd place matches just before the finals!!!! That would be great!!! But we will have a parade of champions... Just not sure if it will be 1, 3, 5... Or just finalists!!!!!!

    And yes... AC/DC will be rocking the "Parade"!!! Hopefully, Brian and Angus will accept my request and be there in person, but if not, I still have dad4sports mp4 file.
  • bw133
    This was my favorite tournament of my career, besides the district and state tournament of course.
  • 1prouddad
    Thanks Cruiser. You really know how to put on a tournament!

    Too bad about the Biebs. Lol!
  • Gardens35
    Been there, met 3 chatterers/yappsters/huddlers, had fun.

    Most have grown out of that weight for this year though. However, those kids are still just as tough so wherever they land, it should make for an exciting weight class.
  • bluejacket
    Wow! Parade of Champions- AC/DC - I just may have to take this one in!

    - Not a Bieber Fan - LOL!
  • nykc
    You see that is the problem I have with these tournaments, how can you have a parade of champions but then say:

    "No Justin Beiber, No Nicki Minaj, No Jonas Brothers or Carly Rae Jepsen"

    That is just not right, get with the times grandpa!!!
  • cruiser_96
    THUNDER!!!

    Aaa-aaaaa-aa-aa-a

    I think it should be a bag piper playing the Marines Hymn like at Brecksville. But I'm partial to the marines hymn lol

    bluejacket-In terms of a regular season tourney, it is a very good one - some of the best schools from Central Ohio are there plus Beachwood and Troy bring in some very good wrestlers to add to the mix.


    Since your location says you are from Licking County, you will have to root for Licking Valley of course! :thumbup:
  • cruiser_96
    Line-ups are beginning to trickle in.

    I'm picking up the foam brackets today (24"x36", ya know!?). The pleci-glass fronts are ready. I have a few cuts left to make on the wood, as well as pre-drilling the screw holes for the angled connectors. Team and individual 2nd and 3rd place plaques are in. Medals for fourth are on-hand.

    Hmmm... I think things are shaping up nicely!

    1prouddad: Thanks for the kind words.
