Wrestlingfanatic Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 With season just around the corner, figured we could look in the past and ask who are some of the best wrestlers to come up short? Whether it be from making it to state entirely or just short of a state title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Moore Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'd like to think Nathon Walton from the Burg is definitely on that list. Runner-up senior year, takes third the year before. Loses a close match to Lucas Davidson in the semis that same year. Coach Seymour, FCFIGHTER170 and Kyle Ayersman 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is still a conversation. This brings up the old side argument of later achievements proving it vs. achievements at the time. Don’t get me wrong Riley had some solid HS achievements and losing a close final to a stud like Bobby Steveson is definitely worth throwing his name into this debate. But, I’m just saying there are two different ways to look at these achievements which I would say keeps the “conversation” open. piscis1956 and EliteAthleticClub 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
