Bigtoe19 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Here is one that everyone is overlooking. I have followed this Sport since my days watching Bryan Bailey Dominate at our HS of Martinsville. This wrestler was over looked cause of the Highly successful guys in his years. Win you finish under the Lights with guys like Tsirtsis, Escobedo, Maurer, Coughlin, Humphrey, Elkins you are a very talented wrestler. Not to come out as the top guy on that Podium says a lot about Indiana Wrestling. The HS Carrer that CHARLIE PINGLETON has was great and should be considered a Top 5 to come up short. Great Family and away of him back in those days. BT19 TeamGarcia, FCFIGHTER170 and Rugger44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he ws a national champion in college as well and fought that sickening C word like no other..R.I.P to Charlie dude ws an absolute animal..I'll never forget how he'd be take ppl down cut them run bk to the center and make his victims walk bk to the center because he KNEW the rules are enforced to make you always force the action bk to the center and he would let them walk bk into blast doubles and Hi-Cs if he chose not to pin em.. Another 2x runner up that had state champion pedigree like no other! Edited November 14, 2019 by FCFIGHTER170 Rugger44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayruss Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 You can’t have this debate without Craig Macke. And with all due respect to B James, Macke isn’t getting pinned his senior year by a frosh. Macke has the unfortunate distinction as the best to never win it by body of work. Can make a decent argument for Alex Dolly. FCFIGHTER170 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugger44 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I have to say Thadeus Douglas needs to be on this list, he beat a few guys mentioned on this thread, as well as a 2x all American out at Fargo. At 98 pounds, he was giving up some weight. Lost to Sheets in the semi’s from what looked like a bad call from my seat. Pound for pound the baddest around.

That’s interesting, the ref spoke to his coach the next season and told him that it was the worst call he has ever made and he got caught up in the moment. Maybe you had terrible seats?

Randy Baker ws an animal..I remember Ben wearing a shirt with a photo of him broke down after that match.. I seen him wear it at our dual with Richmond back in the day.. needless to say he didn't let history repeat itself and won a state title and ncca All American at Purdue. That picture and headline were the dirtiest I’ve ever seen a local paper do a kid.... and Ben made a freakin t-shirt out of the thing and wore to warm-up in. That was the craziest come back I have ever seen in my life. Baker was down 5 with 25 seconds left and gets escape, takedown, cradle to win by one.
