Please list or talk chat about any past Black state champs or wrestlers from you school or program. Indiana has had numerous dominate Black wrestlers that got their hands raised last at the end of the season. Some from my past coaching experience: -Michael Tiger Johnson-Jones -Brandon Wright (4 x Finalist, 2 x champ) -Deondre Wilson (2 x undefeated champ) -Katrell Moss -Trent Pruitt (State champ to Jimmy Tonte) Additionally, we have had two 4 x State Champs of color. Best of luck to everyone competing this weekend. Hard to not mention the Leavell’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts! I believe it was Schneider who placed in the state but unfortunately ran into Brimm along the way starting in sectionals! I remember Brimm hitting the 360 ankle pick on him!

Jim Ledbetter was an outstanding mentor to many in both his coaching and officiating. I loved watching the interactions with his guys and with younger referees. Such a father figure type with constant pieces of simple, gentle truth. Dan_Williams and horseofadifferentcolor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PreparetoWin Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 From back in the day Hill, Brimm and J. Leavell were all fantastic wrestlers and great opponents. I had plenty of battles with Hill and Brimm at the youth levels and James won his first title the year I took 3rd. If my memory is correct Brimms dad was a great coach he was at every tourney and match with a kind word and big smile for everyone. Was able to run into J. Leavell a couple years ago and we were able to catch up, and still one the best dudes you can meet, always laughing and smiling.
