hogleg Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The big freak of nature at 215 from Gibson Southern back in the 90's (?) pinned everyone he faced that year I believe. Can't think of his name off hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 In 1998 at 215 the beast D.J. Radnovich of Gibson Southern pinned everyone at state. He was one of the scariest people as far as size I've seen on the mat (seemed bigger than Chalfant but a weight class lower). His first round match was the only one that made it into the 2nd period. I'm guessing he pinned everyone or almost everyone else through the rest of the tournament series but my memory is to fuzzy to remember that far back.

beachbum21 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think I heard that he pinned everyone his senior year except 1 person. Not sure if that is true but he was totally amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogleg Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think I heard that he pinned everyone his senior year except 1 person. Not sure if that is true but he was totally amazing. He won something like 41 matches that year with 40 pins. The one match was either a forfeit or default if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatChick76 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Radnovich was the only name that came to my mind too. I was asking this same question this week-end when Raley almost pinned his way through Semi-State. Radnovich was a BEAST...I would have run if I saw him coming. Talked to him a few times...super nice guy, didn't seem to go with his "wrestling persona" at all...lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb71 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Glad you guys remember our stud State Champ DJ. As a former GS wrestler myself it was awesome seeing DJ pinning everyone en route to an undefeated State Championship. He was a beast that weekend and did pin every opponent. Coach B. (twigt) will be able to confirm if DJ pinned every foe from Sectional thru the State Finals but my $$ says he did. DJ was a very nice kid and I saw him last year and he's still huge. He was awesome to watch wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oz curls Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 DJ pinned everybody but Ian Spearman from Southport that year, i know it was at semi-state and think the score was 3-1 or 3-2 cant remember that was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. I believe the score was either 3-2 or 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaroundfan165 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Not 100 percent but I think DJ Radnovich did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin189 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 What about Dexter Larimore. I think he pinned everyone but Aaron Lindenschmidt in the state finals. He beat him 12-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard rumors he was benching like 425 or 450 while still in high school. Not sure if that's true. I remember him going to a small-ish college and having some success at heavyweight. Can anyone recap what he did after high school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondpocket Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 i'm pretty sure Bubba Dickerson .. heavyweight from new castle pinned everyone at state.. back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theckman Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Pinned through state series - sectional -regional-state 1974 Sam Lamb (Evansville Bosse) at 132 lbs. theckman can confirm. LOL.....sorry, but Sam didn't pin all of his opponents. There was a wrestler from Mater Dei (? Rust) that Sam beat on points in the sectional finals. Sam had an outstanding match against defending state champ Steve Kinser from Bloomington South in the regional semifinals that ended on points, too. I'm pretty sure he pinned all the others, though, including Rust in regional finals. The person he pinned in state finals was Dave Walpole who went on to coach Decatur Central.
