0341 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I know Howe tech falled everyone a couple of years ago, but what are some other dominationg performances. They can be for a year or career, one that stands out to mewas the individual who pinned all of his opponents in three years at state. I can't remember his name, but I am sure ancient elder could shed some light on his name. I would love for some of the older gentlemen on here to shed some light on some of the finals memories from the 80's and prior. These kids could learn a lot about the history of our sport in Indiana from you gentlemen. Thanks in advance for everyone's thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0341 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Where was he from, thats impressive for sure. I wish there was somewhere we could get information from past state, and I am aware of the information available on coaches board but it only goes back so far. When I wrestled in the early 90's I recieved a book that had the entire history of the state tournament and after loaning it out to numerous people at work I no longer have it, would be nice if anyone knew if these book was still published and where could I find it.

He was a beast of a man for sure. Gibson Southern. He also had a 4 second pin that year as well. Just grabbed the guy off the whistle like a rag doll and set him down on his back.

wrestling23 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 1938 - Ray Frankowski, 1936-38, won 3 state championships and pinned all 10 of his state finals opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Douglas Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Josh Hutchins from Plymouth 1993 didn't give up a single point at the state tournament. The next year he beat James Torres in the semis and Greg Larson in the finals, both won state the next year, Larson over Tim Meyers of Bellmont.

Biggest MFer I have seen in person in a long time. Solid 215 with about 3% bodyfat. The guy was a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlock37 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm not sure but didn't Jermain Brooks (Northrop) destroy everybody at state his Senior year (1991) when he won it ? I think all 4 were pins ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Wasn't his finals match a back and forth match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a while ago and I remember he seemed pretty dominate ! It seemed once he slammed you and had you ! You were pretty well done ! I believe it was the same move he used on McClain ! But if I remember he pinned all 4 opponents with the same move ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Jermaine Brooks also didn't destroy Brian Funk of Cathedral at 160 in 1991 in the quarters. I believe it was just a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice135 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I remember seeing Radnovich in 98 and he was a beast hands down. I remember hearing at that time that during the season he pinned everyone he faced except for an injury default and possibly one tech. I am not for certain, but someone else on site could correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I didn't know for sure. Like I said I could be wrong. He seemed dominate, but at the same token it was back in 1991 and my memory isn't the greatest. I was trying to throw a name that isn't obvious (Ellis,Howe,etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazergrapler83 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I don't know how dominating he was, but i always enjoyed the intensity of Reece Humphreys from Lawrence North. Even his freshmen yr he was exciting to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice135 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Anton Talamantes pinned three of his four opponents at state(189). What was also impressive was he won state his junior year at 215. Alot of weight to cut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of weight to cut! Yea he had to run from DJ Radnovich to win that 2nd state title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice135 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah RankingsGuy you have an argument, but Talamantes was already a champ not Radnovich. I don't see why a state champ would be duckin anybody. I would like to know if earlier in their careers they wrestled. If Radnovich wrestled 215 his junior year he would've lost. Anton was undefeated his junior and senior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
