    Whose your schools most accomplished wrestler

    Goshen:

     

    Our only champ was Dave Edlund in 1974--50 years ago this season.

    Also 3rd his sophomore year.

    (Bonus points for having 2 sons at state later.)

     

    Best I ever watched was Joe Piwoszkin, our only 3-time placer.

    Dropped a last-second semi-final decision in 2004 to all-time big-guy great, Chris Kasten, for his only loss that season.

     

    Shout-outs also to Gerardo Quiroz, Schuyler Barkes, and Jim Hoke, who are the other 3 in my 35 seasons of following high school wrestling that could have won state on the right day.

     

     

    IHSAA state champion at 185 pounds (’78)

    IHSAA third-place finish (’76)

    That would be a big lawsuit waiting to happen. No referee should be put into a situation to determine if a kid is hurt or not. 

     

    The simplest solution is do what college does and give the opponent choice of position. It's not a penalty, but gives the opponent an advantage.

    I saw this at the State Finals in 2011, when an opponent took so many "breaks", that the referee started giving the other wrestler position choice. So it's already happening...

    1968 145 lbs - John Campbell (Jimtown) 


    To my knowledge, it was his only state finals appearance.

     

    John didn't make it out of the Fort Wayne Regional in 1967. Mike Magyar did win the regional in 1967 and placed forth at state...

    The easy way in life to put it .
     

    Unfortunately unexpected life events puts you in positions that you don’t wanna be in . (Job loss,  job relocation, divorce, separation, death...  I can go on & on)  Happens to everyone at any giving time in life. Just gotta try to make the right decision for your family . 

    Unexpected life tragedies are not what I'm talking about...

    It’s been nearly 6 months since I had a heart attack: here is an update.  I’ve lost 30 plus pounds so my everyday weight is around 170.  I’m still not in the best shape but I can do 20 push ups and I even hit a back flip.  Doc says if I come in on September 19th with my continued improvement: he would clear me to wrestle.   It looks like there may not be a season.  If not and I’m cleared:  I challenge Caleb Clause to meet me at a scratch weight of 155 on Kwanzaa.  We can do a best of 3.  First Match in Elkhart: Second and Third if need be in Fort Wayne.  $500 dollars to the victors charity. I’ll put the money up.  The balls in your corner Caleb Clause.

     

    Where at in Elkhart???

    This Corona Virus stuff is starting to wear on me.  I have been doing some thinking.

     

    Who would you have on your school's all star team (A and B squad) using the current weight classes? 

     

    This is mine from Prairie Heights. Some of these guys competed at these weights, some were from back in the day at different weights.  Having said that, I bumped a few into classes and had a few others cut. Let's see some of your teams.
