Just for an update, the Waverly-Shell Rock Go-Hawks are sending 13 wrestlers to state out of 14 weight classes. 11 champions, 2 seconds, 9 pins in the championship round, including Eric Thompson (ISU recruit).

Why did they move the State wrestling tournament up so early?

**clone2011** · 02-10-2008, 10:39 AM

so Wells Fargo could bid for NCAA [and other big] tournaments

Waverly should win the whole thing. Happy to see my high school (Indianola) place ten wrestlers in the tournament. Eight of them will be back next year.

Thats amazing that they are sending 13 guys. If they don't win the title there is something wrong.

I feel bad for the one guy that didn't make it.

You're an IHS student?

I'm an IHS alum.

Did you notice how the DMR didn't have an article about Inidanola winning the CIML title?

They must be a bit bummed though, I know the goal was to advance all 14, oh well thats life.

They can't win 'em all. Must be tough for them. Look for IC West to get 2nd and CR Prairie to come in 3rd. State wrestling always has big time upsets and it won't be any different this year.

**c'mon tank** · 02-10-2008, 03:25 PM

Don Bosco sent 12 in A.
Going for a three titles in a row.

Is Waverly going to fit all those names on the back of one shirt?

Wow didn't realize how many of us Indianola natives are CF posters!

Lewis Central also always has a strong showing at state, and they sent 8 to Des Moines this year.

Are you kidding, where else would we be? Small town school having to compete against the big schools and getting little to no respect even after competing well. Then off to Iowa State where the whole process is repeated. You're probably a Cubs fan in baseball, and cheer for the underdog in football. Quite the lot we picked in life. Worth it when we overcome and win though. Go Indians in the state tournament, and go Cyclones at nationals!!

Let's go Columbus! We haven't won a state championship since 1999, but we were pretty dominant before that. We sent six wrestlers, and three have a legit shot at winning, including one sophomore that beat the 1. from illinois and the 1. from Misouri.
