Drew Hildebrandt.

4-time placer, champ. 2-time NCAA D1 AA.

Drew Hildebrandt and Jake Sinkovics met 6 times in 2012-13 alone (dual, conference, sectional, regional, SS, and State). Also, they missed each other by one match at Al Smith.

Yeah…last year he lost to the 1st 2nd and 3rd place finisher and this year he lost to the 2nd and 3rd place finisher.

And beat state-ranked #1 last year and state-ranked #2 this year.

157: Jeffery Huyvaert New Prairie 

Huyvaert is 98-5 in his young career, and he doesn’t have a loss to anyone less than 2 years older than him. That shouldn’t be an issue his junior or senior year.

Didn’t Camden Eppert and Brandon Wright meet a ton of times? Or am I off base because every match was memorable?? 

Kobe Woods and Denzyl Prentice are two of the most fun-loving and hard-working people I’ve ever been around. It was an absolute pleasure.

Correct...Harper got reversed with 23 seconds left which put Halfacre up 8-7 and then Harper asked for injury time for the 2nd time in the match.

Sitting with the NP crowd, I can say not one NP fan was surprised with the result. Which is 100% credit to Halfacre and in no way a knock on Harper. 

If you’re a sardine, Penn’s is great!

I would have to say Shane Perkey putting Angel Escobedo on his back was the loudest I have personally ever heard it.

Putting him to his back is putting it mildly. Perk about ripped his head off!

The South Bend city schools have not had a state qualifier since 2018.

 

A real-life modern-day tragedy.

Mishawaka does a great job!! Finals are usually pretty intense, and they keep control of it! (With plenty of security/police on hand)

Tommy Forte, Mishawaka, was a 4-time semi-state champion.  

Could it possibly be that they want to lock you into their building for an hour with nothing to do? Around dinner time? With the concessions open??

Mason Parris.  Just a single loss in the state semi-finals to the champ at 182!  Match came to the final seconds, if I remember correctly. 

You do remember it correctly. And it was absolutely beautiful

I think you’re vastly underestimating how hard it is to ride in college. 

Love this! Well said!

My buddy, Derrick Whitbeck, was 6th Alex's senior year.  Took Alex to OT I believe in the regional and wrestled him very close in the Al Smith (I think lost by one.)

That regional title match was insane!

Have you met Brad Harper?

I said “not all,” meaning some certainly are. I won’t identify them individually.
