Willie_Half_Nelson Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Which wrestler at the individual state finals wrestled most like a honey badger? Is there someone that stands out in your mind who was ferocious and just didn't give a crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Spires Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Quincey Richey fits that criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenadier2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Quincey Richey fits that criteria. Agreed! Had the pleasure of watching him all four years of high school since our team is in the same sectional. Incredibly physical, even more so than his brother I believe. It is a style that will compliment him well in college if he decides to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenadier2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I dont think he meant it in a good way. Take it for what its worth. He had a tough time in the third place match, and I'm assuming the people that never watched him wrestle before that will only remember him in that light. I'm just saying, there was much more to his career than that final match and it is sad people will remember him in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I hate to say this, but Richey was DQ'd from the consolations as a freshman from breaking another wrestler's fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenadier2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I hate to say this, but Richey was DQ'd from the consolations as a freshman from breaking another wrestler's fingers. There have been a few occasions, such as this, that can be attributed to a mean, physical style. I'm just stating there was more to his career than these situations. I'm not saying that his actions in these instances weren't uncalled for I'm just saying that they happened on the biggest stage in high school wrestling so people can't really judge a kid when they've only watched him wrestle a handful of times. I also believe when kids are known have this certain style, not just Mr. Richey, that officials are much more liberal when giving out penalty points. Example: Many people, myself included, think that one or two of those points awarded in over time were just him having a record for being aggressive and weren't really warranted.

only davit Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Petrov's new nickname should be Honey Badger. He got after it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I dont think he meant it in a good way. It wasn't meant in a bad way though... I just saw him at state and noticed he was vicious. And agreed about Petrov. Even after taking a big lead over last year's state champion, instead of stalling he keep wrestling hard and pins him.

xbrick132 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Petrov's new nickname should be Honey Badger. He got after it! I would agree.. That kid was a bad a$$. The Honey Badgers got nothing on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
