ontherise219 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) First of all congratulations. I'm pretty sure that he was the lowest ranked guy to win a state title since indianamat has started.(sometimes ranking really don't mean anything). You put together a amazing run congrats to Eli and the entire Monrovia family. The question I have is when is the last time a guy lost in the regional and won state next year? Every kid out there who needs motivation for next year doesnt have to look very far.

Every kid out there who needs motivation for next year doesnt have to look very far.There may be someone a little more recent, but I know Jeremiah Harvey won heavyweight in 2011 after being knocked out at regionals the year before. Aaaannnnd I know this could seem like all talk... but I remember looking at the rankings mid season and being surprised Stock wasn't ranked higher. Though I wasn't expecting that fantastic run. Congratulations to him, he was totally locked in at state. dangood1 and Mr_Coach_Kline 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangood1 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 At tourneys, he gets better as the day gets long. Really started to see it at Indy Nationals last year. Those 4th, 5th, etc matches of the day are always his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Coach_Kline Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Played college ball with Harvey, great kid! Fortunately the Jimmies got to sit next to the Monrovia clan and Stock family. To have two kids place and one being a champ is kind of a big deal! Do they play football or any other sports? dangood1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangood1 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yes football. Eli turned into a beast at linebacker this season. I really think it helped his confidence goto another level. Mr_Coach_Kline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Coach_Kline Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well Kenny Kerrn just decided to go to Trine to play football. College football coaches LOVE wrestlers!!! Wasn't sure where he was looking but those small town kids are always animals at the next level, like they've got something to prove. It's beautiful!
