Who is the Greatest Hoosier Wrestler to Never Win a State Title?

I'll "throw" out John Boes from Princeton.  2x runner up ('89 and '90).  He gave a lot of frequent flyer miles those two years.  Lost to Keith Davison in '89 and James Starks in '90.  He threw Starks a few times in that match.  The last one, he threw him to his back, but Starks managed to reverse him straight to his back and got the pin with 1 second left in the second period.  Exciting match.

If there had been a 215 lb class duting his school years, Damon Hummel from Rochester probably would have won at least 3 titles. 

 

I thought Hummel was only ay HW for 2 years and was at 189 for 2 years? 

 

 

I would say Jeff Pease from Muncie Southside.  His National qualifications are outstanding  and he had some real good success after high school.  Had a bunch of bad luck during high school.  Broken leg his senior year, illegal slam call one year.

Has there been anyone else mentioned that was a double Junior and Cadet National Champ ? If not, I'd say Pease wins this argument hands down.

I am going with my good friend Damon Hummel.  If I am not mistaken all state football- went on to play college and all state track and field.  If you read this D let me say well deserved.  And if you dont know who this is, just remember junior olympics in tennesee and hanging at BSU!

AJ:

 

                You are right about Hummel's weight classes during his 4 years.  However, I'm sure he had a hard time making  189 and would have been at full strength at 215, had there been a 215 lb class during his high school career.

Dan Bedoy Also could be up there was a double National Champ( freestyle and Greco) and was OW in Freestyle. Lost his Jr year to a knee injury was a runner up as a senior

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Pease win both styles as a Junior and Cadet? Not trying to trash Bedoy, just advocating Pease.
