Randy Baker won it 4 times for Bellmont. I think that he might still be the only one to accomplish that feat.

Tough call! Tsirtsis broke the #2 guy in the country, halfway through their match. I don't recall Howe doing that as a HS wrestler. Although, Howe just did not give up points, so it's hard to say if Tsirtsis' seemingly unstoppable offense would defeat Howe's seemingly impenetrable defense. It's a tossup! One thing that I think people need to remember though, is that the fact that Jason lost twice in HS, and that Andrew only lost once, isn't relevant. We are talking Senior vs. Senior. Freshman year comparisons should only matter if we are talking about who would win when bother were Freshman.
-
I agree with your analysis of the two. I do have a question for you, regarding Jason. Is he more polished in terms of scoring from bottom, against high level competition? Alex was great on his feet, as a college Freshman, but struggled from bottom against anyone who was good on top. Can Jason score from bottom, no matter how good his opponent is on top? My guess would be yes, but I haven't seen him in those situations enough to say for sure.

Impressive match by Hiestand!
-
It wouldn't be close at all!
-
Jason seems well prepared to wrestle as a true Freshman, in terms of Neutral and Top. I haven't seen signs that he will struggle on bottom as Alex did, but if that is a weakness of his, a redshirt year could help in that department. It would have helped Alex.

Holy crap! JT beat Caldwell! That is a huge victory for him!
-
WOW! That is crazy! When you look at it from the first angle, it looks like he's flat on his back, and that the ref should be checking for the fall. The other angle looks like he's nowhere near near fall criteria!
-
The Center Grove kid who ran was Schoettle, against Lovejoy on Friday night. It was ridiculous! The ref should have had the guts to award the points that he had signaled for the stalling, although, the Luers coaches should have contested it better at the end, too. The CG coaches share the blame for that, and for how they acted afterwards. No class! If I remember correctly, thos same coaches screwed up the seeding at the Al Smith, by their behavior in the seeding meeting.
-
So you are saying that a wrestler who beats another wrestler in a 3-2 match is nowhere near as good as the wrestler he defeated? How is that logical? It would be one thing to say that about a wrestler who was dominated in a match, and then fell into a pin fall win, but to say that about someone who wins a 3-2 match is ridiculous!
-
I don't have a dog in the fight, so I will be rooting for the wrestler from my SS. Good luck to Hayden Lee!
-
From what I heard, it sounds pretty accurate. I also heard that Anton cut in preparation for wrestling in college, since he wasn't going to be a college Hwt. He definitely didn't do it to duck Radnovich.
-
Weight Class?
-
I don't believe this to be correct. I am almost sure that they started at SS. Bolden(South Side) wrestled in the New Haven Sectional/Snider Regional. Talmantes(Northside) North Side Sectional/Carroll Regional. The didn't ever wrestle in the SAC finals, because Bolden got screwed in the seeding meeting, and he was the 4th seed, wrestling Talamantes in the semi finals.
-
Will be praying for both of them, and their families!
-
While I am in favor of wrestlebacks, and if any level deserves them the most, it would be SS, I can see the counter point to having them there as well. Under our current system I have seen wrestlers come in as a 3 or 4 seed and knock off two favored wrestlers to make it to State. It doesn't seem fair to tell that same kid that instead of taking 4th place, we are now going to give someone who lost earlier another shot, at his expense.

If you weigh in for the 138 class, but weigh 132, can you ...
hammer replied to MadHtsWrestler's topic in Past Discussions
Just for clarification, if you weigh you kid in for the 138 class and he misses weight, is he only eligible to wrestle 145, or is he eligible to wrestle 152, also? -
Charger Dad, you just posted something very close to what I was in the process of posting. There is nothing wrong with celebrating at the conclusion of a match, as longer as you are not being disrespectful in doing so. I can respect the wrestler who chooses to or not to display some emotion at the end. I did it as a wrestler, when winning matches that were big wins(big for me), and as a coach, I had no problem with my wrestlers celebrating in a respectful way. It didn't work out this way in the end, but as huge of a dominant victory as Willis had, over a top level opponent, that momentum could have carried his team to win some matches that they wouldn't otherwise win, and find a way to pull off the big upset.
-
You are likely the only one who does!
-
Wrong! If you win Friday night, lose first thing Saturday morning, lose in the first round on consolations, and lose the 7th place match, that would be 3 losses in one year.
-
I agree that it was a classless statement.
-
Didn't Stevenson beat Goldman a week earlier? 7-2, maybe? Sliga might have beat Goldman in a given match, or he might have lost to him. When guys are on similar levels, either guy can win on a given day.
-
To play devil's advocate a little to this post, I remember a Top 10 Warren Central team that didn't have a FB player in their lineup at all. Hard to say that their upper weights weren't as dedicated as their lightweights and middleweights. If I had my choice, I would have kept the middle weights as they were, and added the one upper weight class. Could have eliminated most need for tie-breakers, because of the uneven number of weight classes.
-
I would also vote no, but I would disagree with your first point. Couldn't that scenario happen if that 8th grade stud is a 9th grade stud, instead?

We need some excitement...Pre pre Season Rankings
hammer replied to Mr Freeze's topic in Past Discussions
I agree. If he's planning to be a 197 in college, it makes sense for him to go 196. He'd be a strong favorite at any of the weights from 182-220. Maybe he'll select a weight class based on where he can find the best competition?
