Not Andrew Howe or Angel Escobedo?
 
Back this winter I put together a list of the best wrestlers of all time. I put in values for placements at state, college, and world level events. Some are a little arbitrary, but it's a good list of GREAT wrestlers.

Watching the WTT last night - my vote goes to Sara Hildabrant. She has here game together! Tough on her feet - might be the best in parre tere of both men and women! She mauled her way through! I say she wins worlds !!

Unfortunately for the state of Indiana it looks as if we will lose Katie to Colorado Springs. It's a great opportunity for her as she has played a vital role in women's wrestling not only in the state, but the country. Congrats to Katie on the new job!

Thank you for all the time you put in to figuring this out.  I can't imagine how time consuming it is.

IndianaWrestlingGuy is Ryan Hasbrook from Cathedral.  He is obsessed with Brownsburg Wrestlers.  They find him hilarious, but also say his focus on them as high school athletes makes them uncomfortable.

Yeah 2022 crown point is better than 2003 mater dei I think was the final verdict no need to ever have another team debate again 

Why is this being held the same weekend as Frosh/Soph State?

Deondre Wilson won a title in his third year. He beat some hammers on his way including two-time champ Drew Hughes. Then his senior year beat Brandon James who is in the conversation of the best to never snag a title.

Luckily my state pick'ems were at least respectable....
 
If there are missing totals for a specific person please tell me. Sometimes people put in different names or misspell their name for the entries.

I would highly recommend a Flo account.  Well worth the money.
 
With Flo you can watch 4 mats on the same screen.  They will cut the screen in 1/4ths for you.  Great for state if you cannot make it.

For all of my MD friends out there, #BringBackTheTights

Bburg Black Panther singlets get my vote for best of the weekend. Well done. Wakanda Forever.

Macke is the perennial winner of best who never won it, and Brandon James has a stake there as well.

I don't see Weinzapfel being a coin flip, he was a 2xer who should have been a 3xer had the ref called the pin on A.T.
 
He may have even scored bonus in this match. But, CP deserves ALL THE credit tonight and going forward they scored an ungodly amount of points.  

Kid just started wrestling a couple years ago and now a State Champ.  Great story and congratulations young man. 

Jendreas CP 3-0
Williams Tied 3-3
Cruz CP 6-3 (flipped a coin)
Macke Tied 6-6 (One of the best ever not to win; blocked by some all-time greats)
Coughlin MD 9-6
Mendez Tied 9-9
Lehman MD 12-9
Weinzapfel MD 15-9 (tough call - flipped another coin)
Nosko MD 18-9
Wildeman MD 21-9
Maurer MD 24-9
Clark MD 24-12 (close to 50-50)
Clark MD 24-15 (definitely not a given)
Begley MD 24-18
 

Definitely see bonus from Maurer and Mendez, though Scott might keep it to a Major.  Lots of swing matches, but looking at the lineup I see MD winning most of the time.  I'm guessing I'll be in the minority here.

I have it coming down to Heavy 28-25 CP and the newly crowned best Indiana team to ever do it. I adjusted for eras as well, and being a guy from Evansville this was hard to admit. CP gets the nod. 

Who wins / what is the score?
 
103/106 - Bittner (SQ) MD v Jendreas (2nd) CP
112/113 - Williams (6th) MD v Nowaczyk (SSQ) CP

135/138 - Scott MD (3rd) v Mendez (1st) CP
140/145 - Lehman MD (SSQ) v Tattini (SQ) CP
145/152 - Weinzapfel MD (1st) v Goin (1st) CP

160/170 - Wildeman MD (1st) v White (SSQ) CP
171/182 - Maurer MD (1st) v Cruz (2nd) CP
189/195 - Coughlin MD (SSQ) v Clark (5th) CP
215/220 - Unfried MD (SQ) v Clark (4th) CP
275/285 - Schwartz MD v Begley (SQ) CP

Also what is several of the IN region kids that attend IL schools (mostly Mt Carmel) stayed in state.  They would likely end up resulting a couple more CP state placement caliber kids. 

I’m a couple weight classes away from locking my picks in.  I like to see some head to head and common opponent results before making a educated decision.
