You are correct on James winning; Vernon was runner-up. For all the old guys out there...Indiana had a ton a kids place that year and score very well in the Nationals as a team in whole?? 2nd Place I believe... I have always been told that it was the best High School National team Indiana has ever brought to senior nationals and agree whole heartedly. I'm having trouble verifying the placement of these Kats and who was officially on the team...some bad dudes man!!
Also fun fact...at NHSCA Senior nationals Decatur Central became the first school in the nation to have 2 individuals in the finals....James Leavell and Chad Kerr
1995 NHSCA -Indiana Team
Champion-
James Leavell
Runners-Up-
Chad Kerr
Vernon Cannon
Chris Snyder
Pat Mayes
James Torres (Questionable....can't remember if it was a 2nd or 4th and I am getting conflicting reports from sources)
Who else on team and results? Got to be some dudes that know this
Will Hill ?
Pleak?
Nowak?
Yates?
Happe?
Larsen?-
Cassidy?
McDonald?
I do know Tim Myers did not go...that probably would have helped!!!
But to correct a few things mentioned above on the quoted post and solidify some prior posts....
James and Vernon wrestled 3 times that year. Vernon upset James at Marion County. James returned the favor at CSAC with a win. They did not meet again until State Finals, James won the rubber match.
