It's been so long, I don't know which one it was but his battle with May was my introduction to serious wrestling. Yes May was a tough sob. Gaskins was the man at that time also Little man syndrome for may. A side note. May could not break into the Bloomington south lineup his freshman year. People don’t realize the talent Bloomington south possessed at that time. Honestly it reminds me of the penn st dominance now. Everyone hated south. I think May would have been a 4 timer easily. He trains with the iu team camps every year. gsmith58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinedad Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I don't go back too far for this, at Warren Central it would be either Brandon Wright, a 4-time finalist, 2-time champ, 2-time runner up, or Danny Williams a 2-time champ and 3-time semifinalist. Brandon earned 2 runner-up and a championship at Cathedral. buttler73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's probably the most accomplished wrestler from Indiana. Olympic Bronze Medalist 4x World Championship Medalist I think this was asked because the OP clarified it was for high school: As great as she was/is, not in the conversation, IMO, if limited to HS.

GrecoCoach Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 17 hours ago, Coach Brobst said: 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. Hoping for that first champ in the next few seasons I can add some older options for HSE to your list... Brent Farrell - qualifier and 2nd in 1996 to James Brimm Spencer Irick - qualifier and 3rd in 2016 with memorable upset over Davison on Friday night. Pat Robinson - 3rd in 2010 with close battles to the champ and runner up that year Austin Neibarger - 8th and 5th in 2013, but the 8th place was for Cathedral freshman year Thomas Pompei - 6th in 2006 and now head coach for Indiana Tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was narrowing it down to 2 time qualifiers at minimum for "most accomplished", though all of these guys have an argument for "best" wrestler in HSE history. Spencer with only 1 medal, but that huge upset definitely crossed my mind. Hadn't realized Farrell qualified his Junior year, he'd be up there for sure. His kids were no slouches either (JD took 3rd for the Tigers and then Crew was a 4 time Regional Champion at Frankton). P-Rob is one of my favorite dudes in the sport, NCAA Qualifier at Purdue after his late blooming Senior year for the Royals. Neibarger was awesome. Really fun, but as you mentioned only won one medal at HSE. Pompei may qualify as most accomplished Royal in wrestling for career totality for sure when you add in his collegiate time and his coaching as well. I wasn't here for it, but according to Coach Rypel here who got teched by him his freshman year, John Tatom was the best 160 pounder in the state his senior year before tearing up his knee. As it is, he also placed 6th once for HSE prior to his career ending injury. Long story short, HSE has been way too good for way too long without having a champion. Gotta get that monkey off our back in the next 5 years. Edited February 23 by Coach Brobst Lawdiggity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
