1Team1Goal Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I used to want to see someone dethrown Harper just because I tend to side with the underdog. However, the more I see him struggle this year the more I see myself pulling for him. It will come down to who he faces next week if I end up pulling for or against him. Either way he is a very talented individual and a great representative of Indiana wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoilerUp Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think he has brought good attention to Indiana wrestling especially with his article in ESPN so I am pulling for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice135 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Although Porras controlled him last night and looked very tough, I think Harper will get revenge Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greek_wrestler Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 harper will not win 4 state titles he should only be a 2xer right not but heron from E-ville MD got quite a hose job couple years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowawrestlingfan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Harper always seems to pull off the close matches at state. I think he will be a 4x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booker T Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 harper will not win 4 state titles he should only be a 2xer right not but heron from E-ville MD got quite a hose job couple years ago Another case of the woulda, shoulda, couldas :.....Dont degrade the kids achievements by saying "If this kid woulda got the right call, he woulda blah blah"... Harper earned every blue medal he has, and if he gets another one this year, he sure will have earned it having to go through a very tough Frankie Porras as well as a few other tough kids Im thinkin he's gonna pull it together and seal the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schaeferboy06 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 If it's not Frankie Porras, I believe Demarcus (sp.) Spencer will put up a good fight at 130 next weekend.. My money is on Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hic42 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I know i'll be pulling for harper. He will pick it up next weekend. It seems to me that the kid is the most hated 3xer and he has never done anything unsportsmanlike yet from what I have seen. Even when Jose Escobedo was giving crowds the finger, people were still cheering for him. He was nowhere close to accomplishing what haper has done this far.

tspray1 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I thought it was odd for people to call for stalling when the other wrestler never came off the hips.. I know his style of wrestling isn't liked but heck ... you have a guy tying up a double wrist ride and covering your hips with no attempt to turn that is just as much stalling as is the guy with his head on the mat. I kept hearing how the kid is injured and is still wrestling. That to me is heart. Watching him throughout the day, I feel real bad for him because it was my perception that he is a quiet, and to himself type young man. Good luck to Him Tim Spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid always finds away to win I got my Money on Harper i agree i think harper drive of this feeling that the whole gym is against him for the past 2 years it has seemed like mville and conseco the whole place seems to have been against me its very impresive how he has keep his cool with the boos at the end of the day he is still a three timer and has a very good shot at the historic 4x status good luck to both wrestlers next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontherise219 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Who gets all this misguided Hate when Harper Is done with Indiana Wrestling? For everyone who was Booing him if your a father, Mother Coach or friend of a wrestler a crowd could make you the person who is boo'ed. I think that is a tough thing to handle for a kid 14-18.

That Guy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i do not think most people boo him. at state i feel it will be a different story. Think they wrestled at the ville where frankie obviously had family connections and a huge following as well as hobart who has been a power and brings a lot of fans. Two huge cheering sections not 10 minutes form the high school. The cheers will always go to frankie. I believe correct me if im wrong but harper defiantly had crowd edge at al smith.. just an observation idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The Gym at Mishawaka Sounded pretty loud when Harper was put to his back by Cashe. I was not there but I was watching it live on Broadcastsports and the camera was shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
