Love Cash, but he got Lucky Joe Lee knocked off Brandon James, and caught Lee as well. He was a gamer though.

This was already a whole thread back then. But if you really want to go into it, yea who knows what could've happened after Tommy would've been up by 3 points after he took a shot and went straight to a half (didn't know shots and halves were considered catching moves) but that's how it happened and the ref called a fall.

You are missing Tommy Cash and Blake Rypel both did it the same year as Streck

This is Justice Cash and after losing 4 times at semi-state I am coming on here to share the story that I never was able to share after winning a state title... The dog tag in the picture has been in my shoe for every wrestling match since Amante Young's death... He was a brother to me and there was nothing I wanted to do more than win a state title for him and his memory. He died tragically in a car crash a few months after winning a state title in Michigan. For those who knew Amante you would know he was one of the sweetest, joyful, and kind hearted people you've ever met. He was always smiling and brought so much joy to others, he always had my back, and he always wanted to make himself better. His home life was never amazing but he still was always trying to make money to give gifts to his whole family during holidays and other occasions even knowing he wouldn't be getting any from his parents at times. He always wanted to help people and he never acted like he was bound to be unsuccessful because of his home life, he found ways to make himself better and others around him better. I could go on and on about how amazing Amante was as a person and a wrestler and about how much he meant to me and so many others, but here is the end and the end of my high school career. I would be so grateful if anyone who reads this would mention his name in my place after winning a state title this year because I have failed to make it there for him myself... Thank you...

Does Evansville semi state have an extra pound allowance?

I think the craziest match would be Colton Cummings and Jarred Brooks they had similar wrestling styles. Would be surprised if that match didn't end up bloody... 

There is around 70 ranked wrestlers all from Indiana at the Al Smith this year and MD has 30 something from Indiana and 75 total. With some of the Kentucky kids being ranked in the 20s. We all know Indiana is there better wrestling state so I will have to say Al Smith easily is more competitive

Race Stewart at 285 from Bloomington North is gonna turn some heads this year

I know it is a bit early in the season still but anyone have some early dark horse predictions? Ranked 9-16 or not ranked at all.

Jeremiah Henderson (Lawrence North) over #12 Cade Meier (Bloomington South) 6-5

Then it seemed like Meier got DQed for the rest of the day

Mooresville Holiday classic is still tough but sadly have lost a couple of good teams to out of state tournaments or Al Smith 

With season just around the corner, figured we could look in the past and ask who are some of the best wrestlers to come up short? Whether it be from making it to state entirely or just short of a state title.

Bloomington North takes Ben Farmer as their new head coach over Tommy Cash.
