    Randy May was a 3x state champion in 3 different weight classes. And undefeated. During Kay Hutsell’s run of state championship teams.

    It might be Gaskins:

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

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

     

    Gaskin's brother was very good too. It's been so long, I don't know which one it was but his battle with May was my introduction to serious wrestling.

    Sometimes you gotta say things to make them remember you by . I guess it’s been a while for some . Poor posters wanna take everything so Serious. 

    Sometimes, it is difficult to know which is which. Are you suggesting that Thrine won't score? That sounds 'Serious.'  As someone else said, if I was forced to bet, I'd place money on Jake, but holding Thrine scoreless might shock me more than the Frazier upset.

     

    In all 'seriousness,' did you pick Thrine to beat Frazier?

    Margin literally means nothing. Huyvaert been dominating all year and just lost to Zar Walker who was having matches with one point margins against unranked wrestlers. Stop glazing.

    This!

     

    I could see either kid winning in any fashion. The idea that either one is a lock is silly. Maybe one blows out the other, and in hindsight, it's clear as day, but it's not at this present moment.

     

    I thought Frazier was a lock...turned out he wasn't.

  4. To this day, I can remember Bradin wrestling with my son in the CIA room on Sundays. The Daniels would drive him and Blayne over for practice. 

     

    My son is several years older than Bradin, but Bradin always gave him fits. I can recall chuckling when my son would come over from a break saying something like 'He won't quit." To which my response was, "You're right, and you're going to need to beat him off with a stick."

     

    Watching his final match on Saturday against Rowles (who is a headlock waiting to happen) reminded me of that. The kid does not give up.

    21    Jay County High School
    22    Columbus East High School
    23    New Prairie High School
    24    Jeffersonville High School
    25    LaPorte High School
    26    North Montgomery High School
    27    Center Grove High School
    28    Bloomington South High School
    29    Southport High School
    30    North Posey High School

    Having Bloomington below New Prairie, New Pal, Jay County, LaPorte, North Montgomery, but ever so slightly above North Posey (no disrespect intended to those schools), indicates the AI was trained by researchers on the south end of 40 years of age who forgot to feed it the IHSAA Record Books or IndianaMat as sources. Bloomington should be close to the top. And I agree with the Muncie South reference (1974: Smith, Holmes, Pritchard, Evans.)

     

     

  6. Jake's a strong case for certain, but the freshman Thrine taking out a national-ranked senior has to be right there. Prior to Saturday night,  would anyone have been surprised if either Jake or Ashton won another title? I would bet the most ardent Thrine supporters thought it would be a big lift to beat Frazier. That is not to say no one thought it was possible, only it was less likely.

     

    If what Thrine did isn't the definition of "Outstanding," I don't know what is. That's not to take away from either Jake or Joey they were great. 

     

    While I'm at it, has any of the other freshman phenoms taken out a national-ranked wrestler in the finals?

  7. It's a tradition. Darn, how I miss those days (and nights) ;)

    Just seen almost 1000 wrestlers for Indy nationals. What a disgrace. That’s a 2 day tourney crammmed into one day. No respect for the working man getting up on Monday morning at 1:30 am for work. We will get one match in for 50$. Cmon man!

     

  8. I don't know that the pictures/video are a fair comparison; timing is a big part. The New Castle crowd thinned out considerably towards the end. It was still a good crowd, but nothing like the first few rounds. If I'm not mistaken, the image of Evansville was in the finals. These appear to be in the earlier rounds. 

     

    That said, New Castle is a great environment.

    I don’t doubt it and pictures can be deceiving. Wasn’t saying one was better than the other, just showing the cool experience at NCSS while people claim gates may be down everywhere due to streaming. This 10 second video clip from last weekend of the New Castle Fieldhouse crowd is pretty cool:

    From the 70’s:

     

    Bud Palmer 

    IHSAA. Q, 1, 1, led Muncie North to team state title (and a team state runner-up)

    NCAA D1 2, 3

    Junior Greco Roman National 1st

     

    Ralph “Jigger” Smith

    Q, 3, 2, led Muncie South to state team title

    I'm not sure that these guys went through Fort Wayne (New Castle), but love seeing them out there.

     

    Opps, missed the correction further up...

    Do that many people think she will make a run under the lights like the topic mentioned?  


    I see your point on 'make a run to the finals.' That makes sense. My focus was on Darkhorse aspect which implies, to me, out of the top ten. Would anyone be shocked to see her make the semis?

    She will have to get through Horn and Bollinger first.

     

    One never knows with the draws. Aren't all three are coming out of different Regionals; I would expect, worse case scenario, a three. She certainly could overcome that. I mean, she did just win Al Smith. Not to mention, she's a State Qualifier who held her own with a very good State Runner up.
