I see his picture on the wall of fame every time I go to CG.  Couldn't remember his stats.  Impressive.

It might be Gaskins:


Ron was 3rd, 1st and 1st his final 3 seasons.

EMD- High school only it would be Blake Maurer. But all around it is definitely Nick Lee

Damon Hummel was getting it done back when there was not a 215 weight class.  If there had been, I think you can make the case that he would have been a 2x state champion.  

Since this was the year of the firsts!!
 
Rossville - Noah Weaver
Garrett - Chase Leech

I assume you mean just during their high school career?  Otherwise (and I know you know this), Jason Tsirtsis also was a 4 timer for CP (though with 2 losses) but also was an NCAA champion.

But what you are referring to is calling for injury time during a stoppage. That is a lot different than calling for an official to stop live action for injury time.
 
It is my understanding that in tennis, a player can't turn to the official and call time-out in the middle of playing for a point. If they are injured during play, they have to play though it &/or concede the point & can only then call for injury time during a stoppage.
 
There is a big difference between a wrestler calling for injury time during live action verses calling for it during a current stoppage. It is still against the spirit of the rule if there is no injury, but a big difference just the same.
 
And just FYI, it is in the NFHS wrestling rules that it is unethical to call for injury time if there is no injury. So any coach who would teach using the one allowed injury timeout without penalty as being smart or strategic is without a doubt wrong & unethical.

As always send me any openings

Angel and Lance Ellis.....my picks.  Neither of them would strike you as dominating by looking at them, but they were so smooth, and had great internal wiring.  Simply amazing.  

This is what I've been talking about for years. When was the last time the champ and runner-up team came from the same place. Throw in a very good Avon and a bunch of "small school super teams". Zero place to hide and good kids absolutely get left behind in that regional. 
 
Also look at the numbers and then realize that Franklin Community should be in that regional. This was the first year they weren't. Annnnnn wow o wow they suddenly have 9/10 semistate qualifiers. Franklin has always been good. It's just a meat grinder of a regional. 
 
Everyone complained about how the Perry regional got altered and the good teams that got added. (Those teams are great btw) and still with the added teams it still didn't get to the level of Mooresville (minus a good team) 
 
The crown point regional is tough because Cp is in it. The Perry regional just got tougher. But they still fall short of Mooresville by a lot. It's honestly kinda ridiculous the ihsaa let's it continue. Yes it is a soure of pride for those that have to deal with it, but that doesn't always make it right or fun.

Stud. To say the least

Showing my age here....... Early 80's Delta's David Palmer was a beast for a couple of years or maybe even more. He was totally dominant and untouchable. I believe my high school had a very good wrestler that was beaten by him two years in a row in the State finals.

Man ! You guys are amazing with your first hand memories. And pretty old……..

Christian Carrol 

Schaefer beat Rioux a few times, didn't he?
 
And Henderson beat Larocca.

When a wrestler has beaten an opponent time and time again - then drops the match when it is under the BIG lights on Saturday night. I'm not talking when the series goes back and forth - I'm talking when said wrestler has beaten other wrestler every time (but it's always been close) - but then drops the most important one. I know this happened this year with Schaffer and Rioux ...seems like I remember there being a Floyd Central/New Albany scenario that was similar a few years back. I'm sure this happens quite a bit - what are some that pop into your head when thinking of this scenario?? 

This was a year or two ago 😀, but Hardy-Princeton over Williams-Ev Harrison always comes to mind. Undefeated Williams had 3-loss Hardy's number until they were under the lights.

Every year for the last fifty (that is about my length of recollection) people always gripe about misuse of injury time.  I think that sometimes injury time is abused, but there is nothing to be done about that except maybe scoring one point any time an injury time is taken when the Official determines a score is imminent.  Other than that I fear we begin to penalize a kid who is injured and that should not happen.  I thinik most coaches, if they wil admit it, have had a kid who faked it to get a rest.  I remember once back in the early eighties when my guy was wretling in the Regional and in the middle of a flurry he began to scream.  The Official stopped the action, and I quickly moved to him.  I told him to lie still and asked him where he was injured,.  He looked up and said, "I'm not injured coach I just need a break."  I wanted to kill him, ir was embarassing eventhough no one knew.  I told him to lay there until I helped him up.  I got him up and had him walk around, and then he went back to wrestling.  The "break" did not help as he got beat fairly soundly.  THe next week at praxctice I made him run each day.  He asked why and I told him it he needed a break during the match he must not be in shape.  There may have been others, but nearly as blatant.

So between Mooresville and Perry 9/14 champs 64% and 12/28 finalists 42% and 36/112 placers 32%

When have we ever wanted to be compared to other sports? That's how we ended up with no wrestlebacks. 
 
For the record I honestly didn't key in on any injury calls this weekend I thought were gamesmanship. I was just stating I have been seeing it a lot recently and feel we need to do what we can to minimize and curb it as much as possible. Personally, I had a wrestler who got a bloody nose every match and we were never able to use our conditioning to break an opponent which drove me nuts, I can't stand breaks in the flow of the matches but that is the style I enjoy watching and coaching.

Lance Ellis, had over 150 pins in only 177 matches.

Joe was essentially a starter for PSU for one season.
 
Both he & Matt Lee are still currently on the roster as a Senior & Junior. Neither can manage to break into the lineup. Joe is listed at 174 which is manned by 3X NCAA Champ Carter Starocci, and Matt is listed at 165 which is currently being filled by RSFR Mitchell Mesenbrink - PSU's newest phenom.
