navy80 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) The best one of all... 2003 Maurer vs Dolly in Overtime!

I saw it on YouTube though, and the way Conseco looked in that video was so cool. The entire crowd was black and the only thing lit up was the mat and the wrestlers. It looked like a final battle scene out of an anime. These days, the crowd is much more visible due to the new LED screen in the arena. The lack of brightness added to the match for me.

hogleg Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Josh Birge of Frankfort over Labo of Vincennse Lincoln in 1998 for the title at 112 Rickie Clark from Brownsburg and Robert Samuels from Lawrence North in 2017 at HWT. I just wish the lateral that Samuels threw was caught on this feed Edited December 30, 2021 by hogleg sslaymon, Paycheck141, 5_CrossFaced and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandgold Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 I’ve also been told Andrew Howe vs. Nick Walpole from the 2006 State semifinals was possibly the best one takedown match ever. oldfat119 and FCFIGHTER170 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short Jay Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I always enjoyed the matches when our wrestlers earned their way onto the podium. As a spectator that Clark vs Samuels match was a blast. Edited December 30, 2021 by Short Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontherise219 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Chad Red vs Nick Lee was a match that lived up to the hype. There wasn’t much middle ground you were either a Red fan or Lee Fan. The match was amazing then those guys went on to have amazing careers at the next level. Campbell while on the losing end of 2 matches. Had 2 of the best that match against Ayersman then the next year against Petrov classics Petrov vs brooks at the semi state when they were juniors was a great match lots of high level scrambles Cricket21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Still Petrov vs. Campbell for me. So much action out of two seniors who had been so close before laying it all on the line for their first title. gsmith58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForemanMA Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Tony Abbott and Paul Troupe. Troupe came Greco/FS Fargo champ. Abbott gets a takedown with 2 sec left to win by win by 1pt. Dwilly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1prouddad Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 One of the loudest I've seen was when Austin Bethel(MV) beat Lee(BB) at semi state. It was a huge shocker as everyone was anticipating a Nick Lee vs Brayton Lee match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaner2 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Circus 1987-ish..., Jeff classic...Upper weight Jeffersonville wrestler (maybe 189, not sure, memory is sketchy)vs Lville Moore (Still Sketchy, but it was a L'ville School) wrestler, handshake and attempted hug over a grueling match turned into mayhem on the mat, sidelines and stands. I was a 10th grade grappler and not a very good one, just taking it all in...kinda. TripleB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugger44 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Blake Maurer vrs. Alex Dolly 2003 state finals. The place was rocking. Maurer was as clutch as they come! 25 minutes in is the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grappleapple Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The Brendan Campbell finals were awesome, although I was rooting for Brendan because he worked a lot with my sons. He was a phenomenal wrestler. I also loved the hype of the Red/Lee match and then the surprise match that I didn't expect to be an instant classic was the Samuals/Clark showdown.

CoachJones Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I’m the token old guy now-a-days; so all the matches pre 2000 have to start being brought up. 1995 and 1996 Finals provided some of the best wrestling collectively for any style. Multiple matches during these two finals could be considered for best match in any fans eyes. 100- Greg Schaefer vs David Combs (7-5 OT) 126- James Torres vs Jay Yates (4-3) 134- Greg Larsen vs Tim Myers (7-4) 152- James Leavell vs Vernon Cannon (3-1 OT) Rubber Match Cannon beat Leavell in Marion County Finals…OT Match Leavell beat Cannon in CSAC…1 point match 171- Will Hill vs Dan Pleak (3-1) 1996 Finals 103- Leroy Vega vs Ryan Schoettle (4-3) 112- Nick Hull vs Scott Hines(5-3 OT) 119- Steven Bradley vs Vince Sessa (3-0) 125- Jason Baker vs Scott Schaefer (7-6) 135- Eric Kerkoff vs Andy Bertsch (3-1 OT) 140- Gabe Cook vs John Hardy 160- Nick Mayer vs Derrick Miller (3-1 OT) 215- Chad Buntin vs Anton Talamantes (4-2) HWT- GoGo vs Aessa (4-3 2nd OT Criteria) Dwilly, FCFIGHTER170 and MattM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
