Thor Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Andrew Davison is the biggest one I can think of. Can't imagine there's too many nationally ranked guys losing on Friday night. maligned, FWwrestling1996, gogoplata89 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUSKEEWRESTLER Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Sinkovicks getting pinned like that might be the one that will always stick out in my mind. Paycheck141, Cricket21, Jayruss and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyGonzo Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 From 2001: Curt Schleibaum, Seymour def. Rickie Elkins, Portage, won by fall, 3:19. I believe Elkins was up a couple of points before getting put on his back in the pinning sequence. Elkins was Nationally ranked and a returning runner-up from the previous season... One week later, at team state, he beat the State Champ Allen Weinzapfel 8-3 I always put him in the discussion for the annual "Best to never win state" topic Coplen187, Butt Drag, Cricket21 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paycheck141 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Ryan Jankowski from SBSJ was 46-1 Semi-State champ in I believe 2014 he had defeated the champ from that year at 182 Damian Chambers (Edgewood) the year prior but lost Friday night to someone from Southridge or Southport pretty big upset in my opinion.

Coach King tells the story of that match every year before the state series. Spladled him not once but twice!

Coach Brobst Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 6 hours ago, Thor said: Andrew Davison is the biggest one I can think of. Can't imagine there's too many nationally ranked guys losing on Friday night. Yes, Spencer Irick of HSE beating Andrew Davison (#1 in state and nationally ranked) was for sure the biggest one in recent history. Irick went on to place 3rd after getting 4th at Semi-State. Caught fire at the right time. jcs12402, Cricket21, Paycheck141 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Peck Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 In 1990 my wrestler Kirby Kirkpatrick had placed fourth in the Semi-State and wrestled Jeff Jorge of Munster. Jorge was undefeated and was being recruited to wrestle at IU (which he did). Kirby was a HUGE underdog, but Kirby beat him by a decision 4-3.

wwatson Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Friday night 4 over 1 Bailey Schober of Greenwood down 3-2 in the 3rd period and throws Blake Denton of Twin Lakes in a headlock with seconds left to win 6-3! quinnsDAD and HawkinIndy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the headline match of that weight class, but many were upset because they ended up in the same half bracket and would’ve been a semifinal match and not a finals match had Davison won.

One week later, at team state, he beat the State Champ Allen Weinzapfel 8-3 I always put him in the discussion for the annual "Best to never win state" topic Come on man you stole my thunder. Elkins built a lead on being better on his feet in the 1st period (maybe 4-1), but then ended up with choice and picked down. Someone forgot to tell him that’s not the best decision to make vs. a nasty pinner in Schleibaum. The cross face cradle was his go to but when that didn’t present itself Curt hammer locked him and got a tight turn. The moment Elkins, who was already battling some back stiffness, choose down I turned and said that decision is going to cost him this match.

It's not. But, the scoring is there and you were really close (close enough not to change your greater point). Sink was up 12-1 and 14-4 in the 3rd period before Alex Johnson got a reversal and then the fall with :11 left. I remember it was crazy! Of course, Johnson finished 6th and then was "rewarded" the next year by injury defaulting to 4th at SS and then drawing Chad Red after Bracket-gate on Friday night. Johnson had one loss in his Senior year going into SS. Jayruss, Cricket21 and MUSKEEWRESTLER 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TysonNisley Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Codei Khawaja of Floyd Central was also nationally ranked last year and lost to JJ Braun Friday night. That's a pretty big upset that's a little more recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
