But all around it is definitely Nick Lee HS only, my vote is Maurer. But you could make an argument for Matt Coughlin if you include national credentials while in HS. 2-2-1-1, Fargo champ and NHSCA sr national champ.

maligned Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Goshen: Our only champ was Dave Edlund in 1974--50 years ago this season. Also 3rd his sophomore year. (Bonus points for having 2 sons at state later.) Best I ever watched was Joe Piwoszkin, our only 3-time placer. Dropped a last-second semi-final decision in 2004 to all-time big-guy great, Chris Kasten, for his only loss that season. Shout-outs also to Gerardo Quiroz, Schuyler Barkes, and Jim Hoke, who are the other 3 in my 35 seasons of following high school wrestling that could have won state on the right day.

Also, not listed above was Nick Bova who was a three-time state medalist in high school and a two-time NCAA Division III All-American for Wabash College. Looking at it, Brandon James might be the most accomplished in all seriousness. He may have never won a title, but he was our first four-time medalist (3, 5, 2, 3) and he placed at every major tournament in the United States. He is also the only Indiana wrestler to defeat Chad Red during high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bag of Hammers Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Center Grove: This one would be hard to say without a little research. I believe Charlie Larocca with his 2 state titles would have to be the answer. They've had many state champions but I believe Charlie is the only multiple champ. Drake Buchanan Hayden Watson Brayden Littell (undefeated) Sean Mappes (undefeated) The Yates Brothers (can't remember if any were state champs or multiple state champs) Ron Gaskins It is a program with a rich history and its continuing to get better.

I do not know the specifics, but I believe Cody Lecount beat a list of studs when he was in high school, some from out of state. I would bet someone else from Perry has that info. I think most accomplished is still very subjective, so there will be differing opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_glass Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Lake Central: Undoubtedly Kyle Ayersman. Three time state champ (2010, 2011, 2012) and took third in 2009. 193-2 overall career record and I believe a four time Al Smith finalist with three titles.

Tom was a regional champ coming back again in the same weight as May in 1976 (regionals directly into state during that time period), but he didn't place top 4. I tried to look in a couple places, but I'm not sure what happened to him that year at state. gsmith58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Brobst Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 HSE has a few options: Jack Chastain is the career wins leader and Qualified as a Sophomore, took 5th twice Austin Holmes qualified 3 times and won 2 4th place medals his Sophomore and Junior year. He’s second all time in wins. Matt Irick likely would have been the guy had he not been hurt his Junior year. 2 time qualifier, 5th placer. Jake Simone was a headlock and a bad draw away from maybe being the guy: Sophomore year he’s ranked top 4 in state, Regional Champ, up 6-2 on David Pierson in ticket round, in on another single, the patented DP headlock takes him out. Junior year, wins 8th place medal, Senior year, ranked 4th, loses to Eldred of Westfield 2-1 in Regionals, Eldred takes 2nd that year to Seltzer, who you guessed it, was Simone’s ticket round match that year. Awful. As it lays: Andrew Irick is likely the guy. 2 time medalist in his 3 years as a starter taking 4th as a Junior, runner-up his Senior year in 2020 after a Semi-state title. Only 2 time qualifier since then has been Max Broom, who never medaled but is the career leader in falls and won more matches with only one move (cradle) than anyone I’ve ever seen. Got a crop of 7th/8th graders that have as much if not more credentials coming in than any of those guys.
