So would any Mount Carmel/Lawrenceville/Robinson/etc wrestlers be considered for All-South wrestling?

So would any Mount Carmel/Lawrenceville/Robinson/etc wrestlers be considered for All-South wrestling?

The "ALL-SOUTH" teams are sponsored and selected by the Southern Illinois Coaches Association. Only athletes from schools belonging to the association are eligible. To the best of my knowledge Mt. Carmel, Lawrenceville, and Robinson a not members of the SICA. Illinois players selected to play in the Southern Illinois vs Western Kentucky All-Star football game are also chosen from schools that are members of this organization.

I'm sure if Mt. Carmel, Lawrenceville, or Robinson wanted to join the SICA, they would be welcomed.

There should be something fun for the kids such as a dual between the 1A and 2A team.

That would be fun, but since underclassmen are included, I'm pretty sure it would be against IHSA rules. Only seniors may participate in an all-star competition.

That is a myth.

2A-106-We would love to have him but Brandon Tennyson is from Marion.

I believe the coaches of Southern Illinois should try to work together to make something happen for these seniors, if your a wrestler from Chicago things are made easier.

[Mr. White]

I believe the coaches of Southern Illinois should try to work together to make something happen for these seniors, if your a wrestler from Chicago things are made easier.

It depends on what you are talking about. If you are from Chicago area it is easier to get elite training, it is easier to find quality training partners, but it is not easier to qualify for sectionals or state or even make varsity.

[IndianNation23]

I agree with you 100% but by saying things are easier I'm saying with that wrestling is huge in northern Illinois where it's all basketball down here so there's more support by the schools, and there's more all-star dual opportunities and these seniors deserve to be able to do this.

[RAMbunctious]

That is a myth.

3.120 ALL-STAR PARTICIPATION
3.121 No student at a member school shall participate on an all-star team in basketball,football,soccer or volleyball during the
student’s high school career until completing their interscholastic athletic eligibility in that particular sport. A student
may participate in no more than three (3) all-star contestsin a sport.

True that this by-law only specifies football, basketball, soccer, & volleyball, but I would want to see written approval from the IHSA specifiying that it was ok, before I would allow an underclassman to wrestle in an "all-star" dual. After 41 years as a high school coach in Illinois, I have learned to only trust written verification from the IHSA about specific situations. To say I don't always trust them with the gray areas would be an understatement.

I had this confirmed with Gannaway when I was looking to put on an all-star event, but I agree, I would get it in writing before actually going through with things.

It's already been happening. Wouldn't the dual teams that go to the Scholastic duals, Disney, Virginia Beach, etc be considered all star teams?

[RAMbunctious]

Technically, I would think so. But as I said, there seems to be a lot of gray area here. What about AAU basketball teams and volleyball teams in the off-season? Since wrestling isn't specified in the bylaw, one could assume it is exempt. But assumptions can get one in trouble. I would still want it in writing.
