• cruiser_96

  

  23 place winners... Not great, but not bad.
  
  Hopefully we can get some finalists, and a champion - or EIGHT!!!!!!!
• Maverick15

  Also if Wimer would have been able to participate there would have most likely been 4 placers at 120 from central ohio. Just reiterating how stacked that weight was at Darby.

  Congrats to Laney....From 4th in sectionals to state semifinals. WOW!!!
• cruiser_96

  

  Thanks. He's REALLY wrestling well. I thought he wrestled out of his skin at the district tournament. Maybe. But not by much. His first round match at the Schott was even with, if not better than, his semi and final at Darby.
  
  As always, a thing or two here and there to tweak, but that's the nature of a coach's eye.
  
  All in all though, I am pleased, impressed, and very proud of his accomplishments this year.

  As you should be Coach! He looks incredible right now.
  
  Also how about those Central Ohio lightweights. 12 out of 16 will place in the 4 lightest weight classes.

  According to the bottom half of all the D1 championship brackets, Davidson had a VERY good night.
• cruiser_96

  

  iGranby! Yes!!!!!! They are going to break the points record. They are even scoring in the D-II and D-III ranks!!!!!!! Too funny.

  I knew they were very good at recruiting, but to get 12 kids between the semis and the finals. Crazy LOL

  Would love to see/hear about his match with Assad. 5-4? Wow
• HilliardDad

  And Laney beats DeCesare (8-3) again in the conso semis, wrestling for 3rd place! From 4th in sectionals to at worst 4th in state. Again, I say, WOW!
• cruiser_96

  

  HilliardDad: I have uploaded about a dozen matches onto www.gohiocasts.com - search for the coverage "OHSAA State Tournament. It's on there somewhere.
• Lou Demas

  In my opinion Laney outwrestled Assad ,however Assad's strategy beat Laney, I wish the referee had made a caution call earlier and and forced Assad to open up,it would've been a different match..great match when Assad's had Laney's leg up in a single and Laney came down in Wizzer, thing of beauty!Ps I'm not saying it was bad reffing, I like when Refs stay out of match just that Assad did a great job of playing that fine line stalling or wrestling just enough to only shut down Laney's offense and earn him the win, great wrestling from both of them
• HilliardDad

  Found the match on youtube. I am glad to read Mr. Demas' summary, as he has much more knowledge and experience than I. My opinion before reading his was... less kind... to the referees.

  Yea....they gave out stall calls all weekend long like candy. Assad should have had his first caution with about 30 seconds remaining, not at the very end. Great video Cruiser......though I was watching Blair Witch Project! :thumbup:

  Wen the blood time hits, things get crazy!!! A bit of our coaching strategies get overheard but that's okay. I try to stay positive.

  No one noticed but you. Now were all gonna go listen! Oops! Delete! Delete!
• cruiser_96

  

  No worries. I just tried to keep him loose by making jokes about former Fisher Catholic wrestlers. Nothing big!

  Nothing original then? I'm sure he's heard them all by now.
  
  In all seriousness, or at least as serious I can be. Your boy wrestled lights out! It was awesome to see. Great job to you all!
