1996 New Castle Trojans.. Ranked top 20 in the country, Sent 8 to state with 6 placers, should've been 9 and 7 had defending HW state champ Dickerson not passed.. Lost to EMD at in Dual Team state finals in a close one , and had to bump around line up with Bubba's absence.. That senior class in 4 years went a staggering
38-2,41-0,42-0,46-2 with 46 dual meet wins still being a state record if I'm not mistaken.. that 96 teams losses came to EMD and Chesterton (missing big chunk of starters from Internal disciplinary repercussions and SAT testing vs Chesterton)
Compiling a 167-4,3 semi state titles and 2 team state runner up finishes and IMHO one the better teams to not win the state title .
