MD92 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Stein should be on that list. Stein is from Princeton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcorntr Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Stole my thunder. Good call on Sam Lamb Chuck...blast from the past! One tough (mean) dude! Having taken a few losses from Craig Macke I will def vouch for his place on this list. For the sake of arguement I will also vote for: Conner Zuber- 3x SQ, 2 x State Placer (I took too many bumps and bruises from this standout!)

BrendonKelley Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Stein is from Princeton. Correct. i was just assuming, from this area. But i think blake ruegar may be on the list as well. just for the pure fact that with the way the 152 weight class went down, he may have won state if it hadn't been for Farmer beating him. i think if ruegar would have made it to state, he would have won.

Merry Christmas Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am assuming you would count Castle wrestlers here? They do wrestle in the same conference as all the Evansville schools. If so, I would add the Welch twins, Thad Oldham 2x State champ, Pat Mayes State champ and runner-up with maybe one of the most dominant senior years ever, and Matt Deters. Greg Schaeffer -MD, John Dehaven -MEM, Craig Macke - MD, Dustin Nosko - MD, Craig Weinzapfel - MD, Blake Maurer - MD, Matt Coughlin - MD, Clint Happe - MEM, Anthony Williams -Central Im not sure we could break them down by weight with the changes but i would take these 14 in a reasonable order by weight up against any team.

Merry Christmas Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I did a little more homework (not much more), and here would be my All Evansville (SIAC) team with current weight classes. 106- Alan Grammer (Reitz) 113 - Craig Macke (MD) 120 - Greg Schaeffer (MD) 126 - Anthony Williams (Central) 132 - Darren Grimwood (Harrison) 138 - Craig Weinzapfel (MD) 145 - Thad Oldham (Castle) 152 - Dustin Nosko (MD) 160 - Matt Coughlin (MD) 170 - Doug Welch (Castle) 182 - Chad Welch (Castle) 195 - Blake Maurer (MD) 220 - James Brimm (Central) 285 - Pat Mayes (Castle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUBjj171 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I would throw Caleb Schmitt up there. Deters and Mayes are a definite. Doug and chad welch wrestled at 152 and 160 btw The problem is that some guys won titles at a couple different weights. I feel like blake maurer would've rolled over some guys no problem, so where do you list him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be more of a dream team, rather than the best at their respective weight(s). I have Maurer at 195. He obviously didnt wrestle there but I would suspect he would be just fine.

boilergrappler Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I may be a little bias but, one addition to the list would be Alex Johns Reitz grad 2009. At the time of graduating he was 8th all-time in the state in career wins. 197-16. Three-time state placer ( 6th, 3rd,3rd) Two of his losses at state were in the semis to two-time state champ Brandon Wright. Three-time Semi-State finalist and a two time champ. Three-time regional,sectional, and SIAC champ. NCAA DII Nat'l qualifier his freshman year, redshirting this season and has two more years of elgibility. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWINfan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Sam Lamb, John Jeske, Bobby Claybrooks, Alan Grammer, Roger Reis, Darren Grimwood, Steve Noriega, Anthony Williams, Marlon Flemming, Darren Happe, Levi Grant, Bobby Stone, Sam Lahonis, Matt Powless... just to name a few non MD guys You just brought back my childhood! Let me see how many I can remember.... Lamb - Bosse? Jeske - North Claybrooks - North? Grammer - Reitz Reis - can't remember, when did he wrestle? Grimwood - Harrison Noreiga - Central? memory is foggy on him, but I remember the name Williams - Central Fleming - ? no idea Grant - ? no idea Happe - Central? Stone - ? no idea Lahanis - Bosse Powless - Memorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstemv81 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Roger Reisz, Reitz, 1978-82. 2x runnerup to David Palmer. Steve Noriega, Central, 1977-81. State champ at 98, I think. Happe was Central I think - permanent opponent of McDonald, MD. Bobby Stone, Reitz, 1973-77. 3rd at 105. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were wrestlers in SIAC that beat some of the people on this list, there are a couple of of old timers that should be on this list, Chip Elderkin should be on this list at 106, Harp from Reitz Tom Zenthoefer a couple of Boots from 70's, Reitz had more than I can remember Brady French comes to mind Central had a few. Someone needs to find someone that kept the newspaper articles from over the years and we can sit down drink a beer(if you are old enough) and make a list of the top three for each weight class.I think the list would be different then what is posted because there have been some really good wrestlers out of this area that are forgotten due to the recent influx of good wrestlers to come through.

gstemv81 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 That list goes back 30 years with two of those names - Alan Grammer and Darren Grimwood. The hardest part would be fitting in all those great light weights. Grammer plus Jeff Harp and Chip Elderkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
