Mendez gets it done! Awesome scramble at the end! Great match

Whose your schools most accomplished wrestler
Coplen187 replied to bluemonster's topic in High School Wrestling
If he wins 3, I count his ND title and count him as a 4 timer. A freshman Cressel vs a senior Goin... who's to say -
Alex Dolly vs. Derrick Whitbeck IV. #stallcamp

Nominations for the IndianaMat Poster Hall of Fame

Best greasy burgers and soft serve sherbet in the state, plus no traffic. Don't feel bad for him. They are living the ECC semi-state dream. -

If this post were made 2 weeks it may be accurate. You should wrestle Chase for the title. -

Neat to learn Jeffersonville has some Greco history. Ben Land makes even more sense now. -

I agree. If the answer is best, he is it. 215 existing the year after he graduated is as tragic as Ball State (where he played varsity football all 4 years) eliminating wrestling in 93'. Not sure he would have wrestled there, but he never even had a chance. -

Rochester is interesting as the top 3 in my opinion come down to all heavyweights. Damon Hummel 94' https://indianamat.com/index.php?/wrestler_detail.html/graduated/damon-hummel-r4350/ SQ 189, 2nd 189, 2nd Hwt, 3rd Hwt Brady Beck 24' 6th 220, 7th 220, 5th HWT, 2023 IHPO Champ, Rochester all time wins (164) Marshall Fishback 22' Rochester’s only state champ It depends on what metrics you value most. I think Marshall takes it. Honorable mention to James Samuels at HWT. First Rochester wrestler to win the Al Smith beating Mike Pinter in 2001. Hopefully in 2 years I change my answer to Brant Beck. -
I think he is going to be an Indiana legend after his college career is completed. Always scoring. Has a great collegiate wrestler mentality with the skill to back it up. Hot take for New Prarie guys: he equals or slightly bests Christian Carroll in NCAA AA's if he wrestles in college to completion.

Absolutely dominant! He was incredible to watch. I hope having ND connections we see him wrestle club and then Fargo this summer.

TRC - 9 5- Rochester (106, 126, 165, 215, & HWT) 2 - Manchester (106 & 215) 1 - Maconaquah (175) 1 - Wabash (190)

And none of the top 4 are at new castle or Fort Wayne. Not sure why its worth throwing shade at the ECC SS. Some Fort Wayne area schools are lucky they moved Rochester out. They'd possibly see a three-peat SS championship as a 1A. Region wrestling is legit.
-
I was hesitant, as I am biased, but yeah... I saw 4 points that should have gone Beck's way. Great match though. Hopefully we get round 2 in a week. Edit: I also saw a ref fall down. Pretty funny. 2 minute mark @ 157 semifinal at FWSS between Clouse and Russell.

That's 3x D2 All-American, Michael Jackson. Used to love watching him and Derrick Whitbeck battle. They wrestled 3 times MJ's senior year. He was one win away from being a National champ for the Greyhounds, twice. He was good! Edit: should have scrolled down. Y2 beat me to the praise.
-
Harley Hiner, Southwood. I think his kid(s) wrestles now. Not sure because they don't seem to have have mustaches. Honorable mention for the toughest Michael Jackson to ever live. Culver 01'.

Thanks for this thread blueandgold. Was hesitant as first because it has a bad connotation for the "can lose to anyone." But, a lot of of us know some straight up badasses that didn't do well in the state tournament. Beat by some surprises and surprises that turned in to known names. I'd like to add Rocky Burkett to the list. Lorne James (Culver) at sectionals every year and Cassidy Wilson (Oak Hill) at conference every year. If you could make his nose bleed long enough, you won. Doing well though coaching at Northern State University I understand. Just like his coach. He's way better than how he did on paper in high school.

Matt Carpenter from Rochester, 99-03.

It makes a huge difference in viewing Regionals like Mooresville. You can flip back and forth writing numbers on half those guys. Really let's you know which matches to watch for.

Girls, but my statement is in the context of Gabe posting this: From the 2023-24 Winter Bulletin: X Pairings and Seeding 5. Coaches should strive to keep open minds when seeding assignments are being decided. The main objective of seeding is to have outstanding wrestlers separated in the brackets so that they will not meet each other until the finals. Seeding shall be based upon the wrestler's proven ability and not upon the desire for unwarranted advantage. Seems to me this is the exact kind of situation this consideration was made for.

She got pinned in 52 seconds by Lilly Gerald from Rochester during the regular season. I recognized the name when I was going through brackets and I was kind of confused to see her with a 10-0 record. I guess I thought those losses counted. They should IMO, with the goal being the best 2 in the finals, not record parity.

Most Finals Appearances Without a Win

Marshall Fishback took Rochester off this list at Westfield's expense in 2022. Had 3 runner ups until. Platanov came closest most recently for Westfield, losing in OT-2. -
