First Session starts One PM Friday Dec 7th---- Quarterfinals are 10 AM Saturday Dec 8, & Semis are about One PM. Finals 6:30 Saturday evening.
Prior to the Finals coach MIKE MILKOVICH, one of only 7 high school coaches in America ever inducted as a Distinguished Member in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, will be honored with the IRONMAN Legacy Award. Mike is coming up from the Florida Keys
where he resides to receive the award and to meet & greet old friends, wrestlers, coaches and fans. From talking to him, I think Mike will be at Walsh Jesuit both days Saturday and Friday.
All session passes go on sale November 5th
for $25 each at Walsh Jesuit ADs office during school hours. No Finals tickets sold at that time.
No phone orders or email orders
. All other session tickets available at the door the day of the tourn.
If you send check/money order for a FEW passes to AD Walsh Jesuit hs
, 4550 Wyoga Lake Rd, Cuyahoga Falls Ohio 44224 with self-addressed envelope, by third week of November the Walsh AD will fill your order-- this is for all session passes only, at $25 each. (Schools entered in the Ironman are urged to put their orders for all session passes in asap for their boosters and parents.)

Dan,
no Welch, his dad says football is interfering, he goes both offense & defense on very good team and playoffs in Calif go into mid December--- but i am guessing reality is after 2 year in Ironman he is looking elsewhere, word has it he has been invited to wrestle in the Midlands quite an honor for high schoool kid, so that means he has outgrown high school wresting.
we wont have the Calif reps we have had the past 2 years, in those 2 years we have had a handful of big names but wont be the case this year--- good wrestlers but no Welch, Novachkov brothers, Billy Murphy.
but overall caliber should be as strong as the last few years, which means outstanding, and deep with not alot of fluff--- alot of teams only bring their best kids as u can see from the numbers in parentheses, so the tough comp in many wt classes begins in round 2 Friday..

seeding done Live and on website www.walshironman.com the Tuesday prior, by later Tues night Dec 4,---- until then its all speculation who will be at what wts so makes it hard to project matchups. i think viewers can anticipate some though.
a Biggie: at 135 # 1 Colin Johnston from PA, the Fargo junior national champ vs # 2 nationally Collin Palmer of st Eds.

alot of depth in most wts, that will be revealed when seeding is done Live.
btw Uintah Utah 103 is
FEMALE Junior national runnerup
and state 6th placer a junior Candace Workman.
Palmetto Ridge Florida has a kid
at 140 Richie Dehnz who i believe has won over 100 matches in a row.
At 189 watch out for Joe Buddi of Kaukauna Wisc who was 51 & 0 last season.
will be some very serious wrestling in 2nd round Friday. Last year Mitcheff 2 & out on Friday. Will happen again to somebody.

Hey Bob,
I read that an all-session pass is $25? Right after that is says so Finals Tickets will be sold at this time? I'm assuming you mean the all session passes don't include the finals tickets? Whats the best way to go about getting finals tickets? Thanks a bunch.

----------------------
Eric,
the All Session Pass DOES include the Finals----- it is the only way to guarantee a fan can get into the Finals which in recent years are sold out just from the number of all session passes sold in advance-- in other words, the number of passes sold in advance meets the fire marshall allowed maximum crowd for the Finals, so no individual Finals tickets are sold.
i just didnt want anyone making the trip all the way to Walsh Jesuit thinking they could buy Finals tickets.

Eric,
passes will be available for a few weeks imo, so go at your leisure--- i would say by at least mid November no problem. Hard to tell since teams entered are in process of ordering right now.
i think passes will go faster than ever, new teams like Uhrichsville & Wadsworth bring alot of fans.

no idea Hank, once seeding done will see -- from 112 thru 160-- state runnersup and state 3rd placers seeded 10th and lower.
don't know alot of top kids exactly what wt they will go, early in season may not go their certified wt, so cant project. A few biggies perhaps:
...at 135 Colin Johnston vs Collin Palmer, AWN # 1 and # 2.
...at 112 all those monster 103s from last season moving up, several fargo national champions, David Taylor, Jamie Clark, Sammy White, Jerome Robinson. Goes for 119 too where i think Logan Stieber will be.
...at 160 Meade vs Cubberly who beat him in fargo.
...at 152 Mario Mason vs Coby Boyd.

There will be some great battles all around at Ironman in every weight class.
103- Clark who looks like he will be back down at this weight could win it in a great match over Stieber. I would love to see a Stieber vs. Sako battle too.
112- This will be a meatgrinder of a weight just with Ohio talent alone. Taylor leads the charge here with Mitcheff, Clark/Sako, Robinson, Tessari just to name a few.
119- This could be one of the toughest weights in the tournament with Logan Stieber, Sam White, Ben Sergent all just from Ohio. Throw in Villalonga and some other tough ones and you have a murderous weight.
