All-Time Teams (Through 2021)


Recommended Posts

I used to do this topic on here a few years ago, and wanted to bring it back to see the all-time best lineup for some particular schools in Cathedral and Perry Meridian...

 

Weight Class | Name | Best Finish (Career)

 

Cathedral

106 | Evan Dickey | State Runner-Up

113 | Lance Ellis | State Champion

120 | Brandon Wright | State Champion

126 | Zeke Seltzer | State Champion

132 | Breyden Bailey | State Champion

138 | Logan Bailey | State Runner-Up

145 | Jordan Slivka | State Champion

152 | Vinny Corsaro | State Runner-Up
160 | Brian Harvey | State Champion
170 | Ben Harvey | State Runner-Up
182 | Blake Rypel | State Champion
195 | Ben Stewart | State 3rd
220 | Matt Hasbrook | State Champion 
285 | Wesley Bernard | State Champion

Not listed: Zach Melloh, Tyler Willis, Elliott Rodgers, Lukasz Walendzak, Jacob Obst, Holden Parsons, Alex Mosconi

 

Perry Meridian

106 | Toby Billerman | State 3rd

113 | Alex Cottey | State Champion

120 | Sam Fair | State Runner-Up
126 | Jared McKinley | State Champion

132 | Matthew Koontz | State Runner-Up

138 | Brandon James | State Runner-Up

145 | Cody LeCount | State Champion

152 | Nick Walpole | State Champion
160 | Kirk Johnson | State 3rd

170 | Noah Warren | State Champion

182 | Jake Masengale | State Runner-Up

195 | Tristen Tonte | State Runner-Up

220 | Nate Moore | State Champion

285 | Chico Adams | State Champion

Not listed: Donte Winfield, Frank Hammond, Brett Johnson, Brooks Davis, Brian Vest, Jacob Tonte, Kevin Clem, Eric Aue, Ngun Uk, Cornelious Elliott, Brayden Lowery, Logan Cooper, C.J. Martin, Riley McClurg, Nick Bova, Gill Journey, Shaun Richardson

 

In a hypothetical dual meet, I have PM winning a close one.

 

Dickey over Billerman MD 4-0
Ellis over Cottey Dec 7-0
Wright over Fair Dec 10-0
Seltzer over McKinley Dec 13-0
B. Bailey over Koontz Dec 16-0
James over L. Bailey Dec 16-3
LeCount over Slivka Fall 15-9
Walpole over Corsaro Dec 16-12
Brian Harvey over Johnson Dec 19-12
Warren over Ben Harvey Dec 19-15
Rypel over Masengale MD 23-15
Tonte over Stewart Dec 23-18
Moore over Hasbrook Dec 23-21
Adams over Bernard 23-24

 

You can argue whether or not at 145 Slivka gives up a fall to LeCount, but LeCount in 2014 at 145 did in fact pin both Tommy Forte and Ben Harvey and pinned 2x champ Jake Covaciu the year prior, while en route to repeat Slivka did give up a major to Donnell Washington earlier in the season, so I’m going with the bonus on LeCount’s side.

Had to reach out to a Cathedral historian 

he shot me this text. Cathedral has a pretty strong squad. 

 

1992 Jason Terry 2X Champ, 4 Time placer at 103/106.
1998 Eric Sakon

1995 Pleak lost like 10 matches and placed 4 times.

Andy Cope was an undefeated heavyweight champ.

So many more. Darrick Brownlow. Gene Boyd. Missing a bunch of champs.

I had to do a pretty deep dive into our history to get a good all-time roster for LaPorte but I think I have something now. There are some good wrestlers for LaPorte that wrestled way long ago (we had two state champs close to 100 years ago) but I won't include anybody that wrestled longer than 41 years ago (1980 is the cutoff)

 

106: Ashton Jackson | X, 1st, --, --

113: Jason Milton | X, X, 5th, 7th

120: Ian Barclay | X, 5th, 8th, 5th

126: Ron West | X, X, 3rd, X

132: Mark Scott | X, X, X, 1st

138: Mike Bartley | X, Qualifier, 7th, X (I almost made it on the list :( )

145: Guy Corbett | X, X, X, 2nd

152: Jeff Henry | X, X, X, Qualifier

160: Joel Baker | X, X, 5th, X

170: Vincent Stigler | X, Qualifier, Qualifier, 1st

182: Jerry Jackson | X, Qualifier, 1st, 3rd

195: Matt Graham | X, X, 7th, 1st (Gave up no takedowns his senior year I believe)

220: Kyle Simpkins | X, X, X, Qualifier

285: Landon Blackburn | X, X, X, Qualifier

 

Luckily, Indianamat has a page with every team's history, so this list was a lot easier to make than I thought it would be. Overall, we have 5 state champs on this list, and only one runner up, so when we do get people under the lights, it's probably good to bet on us.

I know technically Baker had a better record and a higher place--but that iconic Billy Naegle Friday night throw (plus the Greco AA status) puts him on your list for me as an outsider looking in.

With the help of Coach Currie, here is the All-Time team for Adams Central modified to use today’s weight classes: 

106 Troy Roe: 1,4,5,Q

113 Lynn Fiechter: 2

120 Ray Ashley: 2, Q

126 Mark Griffiths: 2, Q

132 Leroy Striker: 4th

138 Andy Bertsch: 2, 3

145 Jim Marbach: 3, 3

152 Tony Currie: 2, 3, Q

160 Jeff McCullough: 4th 

170 Kaine Luginbill: 4, Q, Q

182 Jack Bertsch: 4th 

220 Ryan Wolfe: 5, 5

285 Brian Werst & Josh Stetler Q

 

Plus the following place winners: Mike Gremaux: 4th, Gregg Snyder: 4th, Q,  Todd Yoder: 4th, Q, Denny Schwartz: 4th, Q, Q, Eric Hunter: 4th, Tyson Bercot: 3, Q, Q, Trey Schultz: 8, Vince McAfee: 6, Hunter Bates: 8, Logan Macklin: 5, Q, Alex Currie: 7, Q, Blake Heyerly: 8. Then the following 2X Qualifiers: Lonnie Chamberlain, Ethan Fiechter, Jarrod Schwartz, Cody Walburn, Anthony Moser and Logan Moser. Add to that, there are 20 one -time qualifiers.

 

Maybe not all the champs as the “Big Boys” but not too bad for a 1A school with less than 200 boys (some have to play round ball)

Here is my best attempt at a lineup for Bellmont

106-Brent Faurote (86-7) State Champ

113-John Sheets (189-9) State Champ

120-Jason Baker (137-23) State Champ

126-Tim Myers (155-7) Two-time State Champ

132-Paul Gunsett (141-11) State Champ

138-Matt Irwin (164-13) State Champ

145-Paul Baker (117-11) State Champ

152-TJ Hays (149-14) State Champ

160-Bryce Baumgartner (141-21) Four-time state qualifier

170-Randy Baker (164-12) Four-time placer, Four-time Al Smith Champ

182-Chris Mahlan (112-10) State Champ

195-Billy Baker (128-17) State Champ

220-Daniel Meyer (112-19) 3rd, 4th place

285-Bill Schultz State Champ

 

There would be some nasty wrestle-offs between Myers, Gunsett, Irwin and Paul Baker. 

 

Left out: Phil Lengerich-State Champ 1969, Nick Koons 3x 4th place (142-19)
