Coach Brown Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 There are several wrestlers that are All-Americans: Micic, Boston, Brooks, Ayersman, McKinley, and others.........Great Job Wrestlers.........and coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth34 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 There are several wrestlers that are All-Americans: Micic, Boston, Brooks, Ayersman, McKinley, and others.........Great Job Wrestlers.........and coaches I noticed the same thing. Indiana had guys littered all over the place up until 145. Then I think only Sliga in the top 7 weight classes. Also: Todd, Molloy, Petrov, Jackson A pretty big honor for Tsirtsis. Especially to win over a guy like Massa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILUV2PIN Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Now I want to know, who is going to be Indiana's next BIG TIME wrestler like Tsirtsis was. I don't really think we have anyone of that caliber right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpd096 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Speaking of the future... My "call out" for the next great Indiana wrestler: NICK LEE, Mater Dei. He will immediately challenge for a state title as a Freshman and "could" win 4 titles. He's that good. You heard it here first. BTW, he's only a 7th grader right now and competes against High Schoolers at National tournaments...and wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butt Drag Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 There are several wrestlers that are All-Americans: Micic, Boston, Brooks, Ayersman, McKinley, and others.........Great Job Wrestlers.........and coaches Interesting, Boston and Micic, are #4 & #5 at 106. I think these are two very good wrestlers with great futures, and have done well nationally on Cadet level. Would be a fun exercise to see how these two would have done against the outgoing 2012 Senior class that made up the 2008-2009 that were all 103 lb Freshman up through 5 weeks of the state series as Freshman or Sophomores. I think some of these guys would beat Boston or Micic. I don't see Boston or Micic beating Ayersman, Campbell, Phillips, or Petrov in their first two years - in folkstyle. Further look at the combined 4 year career of that 103 lb Freshman class is quite revealing to just how tough the guys in that weight class were. It would be hard to find a weight class with Freshman that turned out such a buzzsaw for 4 years that produced 7 individuals who won championships, and another 2 who were 2nd: 2008-2009 INDIANA 103 LB Freshman Class Group Career Win % 95.3% % Combined Career Record (1724-84) Undefeated seasons: 8 STATE TITLES: 11 State Runner-Ups: 5 STATE Finalists: 16 Guys who won at least one State Title: 7 Top4 Finishes: 22 Kyle Ayersman ?

Also: Todd, Molloy, Petrov, Jackson A pretty big honor for Tsirtsis. Especially to win over a guy like Massa. Agree - also, surprised by Jackson #14 at 138, and Ayersman #15 at 126, and Tanner Lunde. Those weight classes must be stacked because after 'Baby T-shirt', they are the best three prospects out of Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nittanylion Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 No disrespect Mr. Ayersman, plenty of us think that Kyle is a very good wrestler. However, Micic and Boston have had much more success than the 103 lb group from 2008-09. Did Kyle ever win Fargo as a Cadet like Micic. or place second in a VERY tough 103 lb bracket at Flonationals like freshman Boston did. Statistics are an interesting thing, but your stats compare in state matches, not national results. Hopefully, these wrestlers will prove Intermat wrong at the next level. Best of luck to all these fine young men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No One Famous Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Unless I missed it, I was surprised that his accomplishments at the OTT qualifier was not mentioned. I can not remember a HS senior (from Indiana) wrestling such a tough spring schedule. VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
