TCWrestling Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I was curious who has had the most losses at state. I'm not trying to critisize the kid because he obviously stepped it up at the right time, just curious as to what the number is. I know there is someone who has 20 losses this year. Has there every been anyone with more losses than that? Also how about a wrestler who had a losing record at state? Has that ever happened before?

hogleg Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Can't think of the kids name right now, but in 1996 (?) a 119 pounder was right around .500 going into Friday night. He was from an Indy area school (Decatur Central) if I remember correctly. I think by the time he graduated he either won state or placed very high. I think he had an older brother who was pretty darn good as well. Help me out here guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
