So would you say Nick took Jaydin to the woodshed this time? Asking for a friend.

What a relentless effort and career!

I’m not sure where Nick Lee ranks, but he is stellar. Taking in high school and college career combined it seems pretty obvious that Andrew Howe is number 1. And he might have earned gold if not for Burroughs. There is a strong argument for Parris being top 5 given his high school, college, and international accomplishments thus far- and if it weren’t for Gable he is easily a national champ, possibly 2x over. As it sits right now I’d go 1) Howe; 2) Escebedo; 3) Nick Lee; 4) Parris; 5) Tsirtsis. But you still have a lot of great talent out there that may finish their college careers out and enter that top 5 category: Joe Lee, Brayton Lee, Chad Red (assuming he uses a 5th year), Micic, and Davison. Please forgive me, I know I am missing some top notch talent. And you can’t forget Reece Humphrey if you take high school and college career combined.

My wife asked me if I had money on the match since I was moving around so much. No but when you’ve seen someone work at a craft since elementary and have had several good conversations with his dad over the years you have a little more vested interest in the outcome.

I think our states talent at the next level is getting to the point that we can start having two categories. The best HS wrestlers in state history? As well as, the best college/International wrestlers in state history? Some may overlap of course.

Sorry, I was too busy choppingwood and carrying water last night to respond. #1 with a bullet. No recency bias.

Galbe is scary good. He is Tier 1 by himself. Mason is Tier 2 all by himself. Tier 3.. everyone else.

I got him in my top 5 with Angel, Jason, Howe and Stevan

You thought right, it IS Nick’s year

Not Indiana related, but I thought this was interesting... Nice work by these young men. Largest Seed to Finish differences

That inside trip in OT was a thing of beauty

I was giving my old Army buddy a hard time, he’s a huge PA homer. I said since Nick has beat Seabass twice and Seabass owns 2 wins over Spencer then Nick is clearly THE best Lee......transitive property!!

And NEW 141 POUND NATIONAL CHAMPION, NICK LEEEEEEEEE! So happy for him and his family.

Can't remember being so vocal for a match. My wife, cat and dog were all looking at my like I was nuts!! Congrats Nick Lee, National Champion!

Great kid from an awesome family. We really enjoyed getting to know this kid and watching his journey so far! We will be following you champ! The Brewers

Of course we can all have our own opinions, but I think you find yourself in the small minority calling this match a "taking to the woodshed" type of event. For the record, I think that statement is 100% wrong. As you can see, for you to imply Mr. Nick Lee was 'beat down' in a wrestling match with a 6-5 score could be considered blasphemy in certain circles.
