brizzit Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Curious to know what the record number of first period falls in a season is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB145 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's hard to think DJ Radnovich wouldn't be somewhere on top that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest Wrestling Fanpage Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looking back it seemed Lance Ellis had alot of 1st period pins, don't know how many but he has to be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider85 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Would have to believe that Sliga would be way up this list also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornton Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 This has to be Lance...155 falls in 177 matches...must be a bunch in the first 2 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The lateral leads to the over/under on your back. The most imposing pinning combination out there. Even my fat arse can fight off a headlock for 2 minutes, but not the over/under. The over/under lock is so flush it doesn't allow for many people to roll out or fight off. I wrestled behind Lance my freshman year. Watched every match of his senior year with passion. He went toe to toe with Paul Sullivan (Beech Grove) a few times, but he crushed just about everyone else and mostly 1st period falls. Wish some youngsters got to see that hip torque. It was legendary and damn pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overtime Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I believe back in the 80's tech falls were counted toward that 155 number Lance puts up. 155 "Falls" was a national record at one point. Still OMG! 155 out of 177. Ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donniebaker Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not to get too far off topic, but he was almost a victim. Friday night he was tossed to his back and won by a point. Them went on to win his forth. I know almost is horse shoes and hand grenades, but it was close. The story I heard is that time ran out as he fought off the fall. It can happen to the greatest at anytime. That's why this sport is the greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance is one of the greatest for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Lance's closest match was at Tech HS in the Indiana's Finest Dual Meet Tourney 1989: Mater Dei, Beech Grove, LN, Delta, Cathedral, etc. Lance was down the whole match. It was about the 4th time he and Paul Sullivan (Beech Grove) had wrestled. Paul wrestled him perfectly. From without on his feet stalling out neutral and keeping the match in referee's position for the remaining 2 periods. Lance snuck out a reversal (if memory serves) with seconds to go in the match. I think it was 3-1. Someone correct me. The match you are referring to on Friday night at market Square was the Mater Dei kid. Was it Elderkin? I don't remember it being that close at the end, but he did get taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis only won 3-2 in the state finals his sophomore year and didn't score an offensive point (2 escapes and a stalling point vs. John Faurote's takedown). That has to be up there for closest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember it being that close at the end, but he did get taken down. It wasn't Elderkin for sure. Chip graduated in 86 when Ellis was a Frosh. In 89 he wrestled David Nosko from MD in the semi's. Pretty sure Dave was the only one that Ellis didn't pin at state in 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICfan Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I got pinned probably 15 times my freshman year and most were in the first period. I think I got you beat. I think it was 20 pins. My little firecracker of a 90 lber went after it only to get pinned a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 What about this one, I went 0-2(maybe had a forfeit) at a tournament and got 4th out of 5 wrestlers. The fifth place kid beat me the first round. #winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
