Doug Dick Warren Central '93. His sophomore year, he had an outstanding season at 103 and won his regional. He drew the loser of regional matchup Jason Terry-Marlin Stewart, both state champs, in the ticket round at NC SS, losing a close one. Junior year at 119, another great season, Marion Co champ, and he severely separated is shoulder in the regional final. Senior year at 125, again dominant season, won Marion Co again, easily beating in the finals the guy who finished 3rd at state that year. Tore multiple ligaments in his ankle a couple days before sectionals.
Doug beat multiple state qualifiers/placers at his weight all 3 years in high school. (Back then, the freshmen were at the Jr High in Warren Township.) While not yet a title contender at his weight as a sophomore, I think he was among the top 8, and no doubt top 16. He WAS good enough to compete for a state title as a Jr and Sr. That is not just biased speculation if he wan't hurt. The state champ at Doug's weight Jr year was MIke Daily of Batesville. I wrestled Daily 6 times the previous summer in freestyle and greco splitting 3-3. The next year Lee Marks of Hammond won Doug's weight class. I was 1-2 against him in freestyle. So I know how good the best at his weights were, and I know how good Doug was, because I wrestled him almost every day in practice. He was right there with them.
