4-pin Champions


Po-Tweet

Recommended Posts

I believe during Cash's interview he was asked about being only the 5th (maybe 4th) State champ that pinned all four opponents in the finals.

 

I don't know if that stat was correct or if I even heard it correct, but seems bizarre if it is true, that 3 wrestlers did it this year (2 juniors)...

 

Can anyone confirm?

 

It seems that an argument could be made for 2015 state champs as being the most dominant as a whole...

If I heard right (and if their info is correct) Cash was the 4th and Rypel the 5th to pin all for opponents.  I know James Dickerson pinned all of his opponents in 1995 on his way to the State Championship (if I remember correctly it was three in the 1st period and one in the 2nd period...his time on the mat to win it all was probably the shortest ever).  I thought D.J. Radnovich pinned all four of his opponents as well.  I am not sure who the 3rd person would have been.

Miles Nilson - Winemac 1986, had all pins. Not sure of the times

Impressive - that means it happened 3xs before Saturday and then 3xs in the same finals, 2 of the 3 could do it again next year...

I was thinking Radnovich also, but maybe his semi-finals match wasn't, not sure....

 

Man...I had 3 going into the finals my junior year, 2 first periods and a second period...I think I had 4 first period falls in 2 years.

 

DJ did pin all 4 opponents in the State Finals.  In fact, he pinned all but 1 opponent (semi-state I believe) that year.  His performance in the State Finals was one of the most impressive I've ever seen.  I'm not sure any of the 4 matches lasted longer than the 1st period.

Here is the List for the 4-PIns at the State Meet. And I know I am missing at least 1 other.

1931 - 133/132 lbs - 16:45  - Ross Hazel - Bloomington

2015 - 138 lbs - 12:36  - Tommy Cash - Lawrence North

1929 - 145 lbs - 20:20  - Oldum Gillum - Bedford

2015 - 195 lbs -   6:42 - Blake Rypel - Indpls. Cathedral

1998 - 215/220 lbs -   7:40 - D.J. Radnovich - Gibson Southern

2011 - 215/220 lbs -   9:19 - Trey Reese - Indian Creek

1995 - 275/285 lbs -   9:36 - James Dickerson - New Castle

2015 - 285/275 lbs - 14:55 - Shawn Streck - Merrillville

 

The one I don't have is Ray Frankowski - Hammond High.  3X Champ in 1935, '36, '37.  He wrestled 10 and pinned all 10.  One year he won 4, but I don't have the totals.. . . . and NO I'm not that old.

Tommy Cash's is particularly special me because of the weight because the five other newest entries are 195 and up. This is the lowest weight class to do it for 80 some years. Kinda cool

 

Except Miles Nilson was lighter 29 years ago... Still very cool

You seem to have access to some great archives.  How long has the State finals format been a 16 man format?  I am pretty sure it used to be a 4 man and an 8 man format.  

 

Were the 4 pin champs from the 30s all in the same tournament? 

 

I am trying to see where the interviewer came up with the stat that Cash was the 4th.

Does Streck or Rypel have a shot to break the record for most pins in the State finals?  That would be an impressive career feat...

 

Blake had 3 pins last year...

 

Streck had 1 pin last year..

Yeah, but when he wrestled it was like boxing in the 1900s. You wrestled till someone got pinned. Sometimes matches lasted 3-4 hours. The next day both guys would attend school, practice, and work a full shift at the steel mill.
