FCFIGHTER170 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Mendez falls in the finals in March 3 best of 3 by inj def I believe.. He was in 2 wars with Northwestern All American Chris Cannon they both had a match a piece.. Still no word on the inj but I hope Jesse is ok... Cannon teched Bryce Merideth on his way to the finals to put into perspective how tough Cannon is and Jesee being 3 years younger was right with him and is nothing short of a phenom... Also Davison Teched Cassioppi at HW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeTheShot Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Honestly, Jesse Mendez is becoming the Chuck Norris of Indiana wrestling. Jesse just beat _______. Insert any name and I would believe it. He is at another level. Hope his injury ends up being something minor. I can’t wait to see how the rest of his summer goes.

navy80 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I love how he went up against the older and more experienced competition. He isn't afraid to lose and I love that mentality. Can't wait to see where Mendez goes to college! He is a program changer for the Purdue's and IU's. If he goes to Iowa or Penn State, he'll fit right in.

If he goes to Iowa or Penn State, he'll fit right in. He reminds me if young Aaron Pico, regardless the age difference, he's game every time he steps on the the mat.. Plus he beat The monster Cannon after losing the first match, that right there shows his indomitable spirit, he's imho got the best chance at being a olympic champion, more so than any past Wrestlers our states produced... I have been telling my old school wrestling buddies who came up with Vega and company and when I told them few years back he on pace to be best our states ever seen they were a little reluctant to believe it. .FF to now and They both called me this weekend (Nathan pickle And Jeremy Motl aka state PLACERS in the 90s) and told me that I wasn't exaggerating and he's better than they could've imagined.. He's the kind of talent that you can without a Doubt refer to as never in a match that's too big and sticks to what he does best and isn't phased by his opponents age, experience, or accolades.. He shows up every match better than he was the match before and that's super rare.. jwilly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
