Basementbias Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I know 2 of our 3 state streeters are football players for Adams Central. Alex Currie and Blake Heyerly excel in both sports and are joined this weekend by fellow Baguba Logan Uhlman. Best of luck to our Flying Jets/BAGUBAS! Please list your representation to acknowledge their hard work paying off! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure he does but I'd need a Lutheran fan to confirm. I thought he was one of their stud backs in their runner up season or maybe he was on the line?

Those schools at the top are just really good. 5 hours ago, southend said: The same can be ask about Carmel. They are getting better each year. The Hendricks county rise now seems to be influencing them and Zionsville to get stronger. Wrestling didn't seem to be as big of a focus near Indy except for PM, Cathedral, and WC in the past as it is now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really like the new coach. I believe we had a half dozen or more wrestlers advance to semi-state. Most were underclassmen. 6 hours ago, southend said: The same can be ask about Carmel.

Parents keep these kids so busy during childhood years that there is only so much time for so many activities. Something has to give. Seems like kids lives are way too structured and scheduled anymore. Those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s had it way better than we ever could have imagined. We had INDEPENDENCE and FREEDOM. Kids today are prisoners of their parents demands Im thankful Im not parenting in todays culture. Edited Sunday at 11:37 PM by DT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Football and wrestling coach here - I will tend to agree with the above statement just in the fact that with Club Wrestling and RTC's now-a-days - the time commitment it takes to be an elite level wrestler is just astonishing and something I don't think many people realize. I'm talking State Championship material here, not just State Qualifier (which is still awfully tough) Now, bigger guys (195 +) can get by on sheer strength/athleticism - but in your "prime" weight classes, it almost takes a year round commitment. Life was definitely simpler not so long ago....and I'm not so sure we've made it that much better. Certainly have made it more expensive, that's for sure. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
