Ferguson jumped out to a big lead and dominated the 1st 2 periods, leading 13-2. Ferguson ran out of gas and Reitz made a mad comeback, but it wasn't enough. Ferguson, who had been out most of the year, won 17-13 over the reigning State Champ (106). It was a helluva match and would definitely be on my list of favs.
Off the top of my head, I would add....
- 2015 182 lb Semifinal match with Frosh Mason Parris losing a 11-10 decision to Undefeated Senior Chase Osborn. IMO, if that match lasted :20 more, Parris wins.
- 2015 138 lb Semifinal match between Joe Lee and Brandon James - Lee winning by fall
- 2017 285 lb 3rd/4th match Robert Samuels 12-11 over Rickie Clark. One of the most exciting 285 lb matches ever!
- 2017 Quarterfinal and Semifinal matches with Kyle Luigs. In the QF, Luigs beat Jeremiah Reitz 6-4 SV1 and lost 6-4 in the Semi to Breyden Bailey. Both matches came down to the end had close calls that could have gone either way.
- 2018 Quarterfinal at 113 - Blake Boarman wins 8-6 SV1 over Brayden Lowery. Boarman, wrestling with a bum knee hurt in the SS Final, gutted out a tough, tough match. Both would become State Champs in 2020.
