Hoosiertrip · 03-17-2008, 03:50 AM

Also, our 145lber, Cosgrove majored Vince Ramos 11-3. That's not a good thing, IU signed Ramos while Purdue got Cosgrove. I've been around wrestling a while like you guys and I don't see NCAA AA talent in Cosgrove.

Woods over Apland was a pretty big upset too!

And yet, Illinois still kicked some booty. Don't mess with the Prairie State!

Champ Kind · 03-17-2008, 12:08 PM

Indiana won the other dual, so it wasn't as dominating as you think!

Hoosiertrip · 03-17-2008, 11:17 PM

Mods, thanks for fixing the title I really screwed that up!

Indiana was also missing some of our best Seniors in the dual. At 130 Churchard would not have been tech'd, at the most majored...lol

At 135 Galka (Northwestern recruit) was not available, he's a 2x state champ. However, he probably would've been tech'd or pinned.

But in all honestly at 171 Samuels would have given Blanton a heck of a match. Cooper is a 2x state champ and 1x runner up as a soph. I know Illinois had some kids missing as well so my argument doesnt really hold up that well.

Yeah, I don't know how valid it is without BJ Futrell, the best wrestler in the state, IMO.

MATCH OF THE DAY
Conrad Polz (175-15, 3x IL STATE CHAMPION) vs Andrew Howe (192-1, Multiple time IN STATE CHAMPION)
1st Period:
Polz starts out on the offensive and gets a takedown 22 seconds into the first. Howe gets an escape quickly and the period ends with most of the shots being taken by Polz.
2nd Period:
Howe goes down and gets an escape immediately. He has one of the best standups I've ever seen on the high school level. Polz continues to work offense but Howe starts to look more comfortable out there and starts working some of his own. Some nice scrambles but no more scoring period ends 2-2.
3rd period:
Polz goes down and is riddin for a while. Midway through the period he gets an escape to go up 3-2 but does a lot of backing up while Howe is relentlessly attacking. Polz gets hit for stalling. Howe gets in deep on a shot and SCORES with 25 or so seconds left. Polz is down and doesn't work for a standup just keeps trying to hit what looked like a roll to initiate a scramble but can't escape. The match ends 4-3 in favor of Andrew Howe. Very exciting match to watch hopefully these two will battle again in the finals of Fargo.
