J-Biceps

Yes it did. Macke lost to Dustin like 10-5. CP tech falled Nosko (who won state that year) very quickly and Craig Weinzapfel beat David Erwin.

Nathan Golembeski of Providence, ranked #1 and spladdled first round of regionals.

For anybody looking to pre-game, the great J-Biceps is currently boozing it up at Tom Tap at City Market. FYI.

There's always a great chance for a sighting at those spots!

Has anybody listed what the actual financial figures are for this event? - Costs for Ft Wayne Col. vs Pepsi vs Convention Center, etc. - Revenue from previous years/expected revenue this year - Any other additional costs for putting the event on It could help if everybody had the same information.

I went and watched this dual, here's what I remember: MD only won 4 matches. Matt Coughlin won a decision, Craig Weinzapfel beat David Erwin, who was highly touted at the time, by decision, Sam Wildeman won a decision and their HWY Schwarz won by pin. Final score was something like 39-15. Macke lost to Dustin Schlatter by 5 or so. He kept trying to hit a jap throw and Dustin would just counter it and take the points. Dustin Nosko (who won state that year) was teched quickly by CP Schlatter. I'm thinking early in the 2nd period. Maurer lost to Joe Dennis, as mentioned earlier in the thread. This one was tied with about 6 seconds to go and Dennis fired off 3 rapid shots in a row and nailed the last one at the buzzer for the win. Unfried, who placed at 215, was man-handled by Jason Marshall. This guy was a vicious brute. Pretty sure he injury defaulted Unfried and several other opponents that evening. Very aggressive and physical.

The finals match lacked action, but Coughlin roasted the rest of the competition. Coughlin torched Matt Dragon who lost by 1 point to Metcalf at the Dapper Dan that year. Bracket also had Joey Ecklof, John Bonilla-Bowman, Andrew Flanagan...in addition to Dragon and Morningstar. Coughlin was on top of his game at this point. It would have been awesome to see him against Schlatter or Metcalf that day, before all the battles with his weight held back his college career.

Sophomore year he lost in the finals to Aaron Clark, who was a monster that year. Macke beat Clark the following week at Team State...but alas no individual titles were in the cards.

They got beat pretty bad by Graham. MD handled everybody else they faced, that day. The final against Graham was 39-15. MD won 4 matches: Matt Coughlin, Craig Wienzapfel, Sam Wildeman, and their HWY won by pin. Craig Macke lost to Dustin Schlatter, Dustin Nosko was teched by CP Schlatter(Nosko won state that year), and Maurer lost to Joe Dennis on a last second takedown (they were tied at the time).

I may have it buried somewhere. I was there, and based of memory the final was something like 39-15, with MD only winning 4 matches (Matt Coughlin, Craig Weinzapfel, Sam Wildeman, and the MD Heavy (Schwarz?) actually got a pin). Macke lost to Dustin Schlatter, Dustin Nosko was teched quickly by CP Schlatter, and Blake Maurer lost to Joe Dennis.

FYI - it is St. Paris Graham. They finished 3rd in the nation that year and had such notables as the Schlatter brothers (Dustin and CP) and Joe Dennis, etc.

Hah, where'd you get that from? Liam Neeson is playing Hannibal, not Leslie Nielson!

Yes, Donahoe beat him during the season the year Donahoe won nationals.

Yeah, Angel has never beaten Donahoe or Nickerson in college.
