ENoblewrestling Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Who is the greatest wrestler to ever come out of the Fort Wayne semi-state. I was debating this with a friend of mine the other day and thought it would make an interesting topic. We figured that either Anton Talamantes or Tim Myers would be one and two. We very well could be missing someone though. Anyone else in the argument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwilly Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Josh Hutchens from Plymouth often gets overlooked. Not sure what he did after HS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going by high school resume, I'd have to think Anton is #1.

warsawwrestling Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Warsaw used to go there. Did Walwasee? You have Darrell Carr if so 3 x AA one of them he was the champ, while at Manchester College. Also 1 or 2 matches from going to Olympics, I believe if I remember right.

ENoblewrestling Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 It looks like David Palmer from Delta went 2, 1, 1, 1. Does anyone know the story on his freshman year? Was he like a 1 career loss guy or anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exactly126 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Plymouth was in the Ft Wayne semi-state in the early 80's. David Palmer has my vote. 1 loss in state finals and {if I remember right} bumped up and got a 2nd loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
