  1. CHAMPS IN BLUE Wrestlers with best chance to make it to state are 120-Cash 126-Hunt 145- Webb 152-Aydelott 182- Dull 182- Hendrich WEIGHT NAME SCHOOL WINS LOSSES Gardner is the clear favorite but look for Stephensen and Meyerholtz to pull the upset. 106 1 Gardner EDG 26 4 2 Stephenson THS 25 7 CHAMP 3 Meyeholtz SR 35 7 Sec Champ 2016 4 Hays BS 14 18 5 Eckstein JA 18 7 5 Crews THN 14 11 Mikulich is a relative unknown but is having a stellar season and will battle Wilson/Graber winner for a regional title. 113 1 Wilson WA 26 5 2 Mikulich BN 23 4 3 Orman EDG 20 11 4 Meyeholtz SR 30 11 Sec Champ 2016 5 Rohbrach WV 24 2 CHAMP 6 Bays THS 13 8 Cash has deep roots in Indiana wrestling and should win fairly easy. Can Riddell punch his way through Koening, Sullivan, and Webster for a shot at Cash Money? 120 1 Cash BN 27 7 2 Sullivan EDG 21 6 CHAMP 3 Koening THS 25 6 4 Riddell CC 31 4 5 Graber WA 25 8 6 Webster THN 22 9 Hunt is a seasoned vet and should cruise baring any upset from Cook. 126 1 Hunt BS 24 9 Sec Champ 2016 Reg Champ 2016/15 SQx2 2 Cook NV 26 4 3 Lane EDG 18 12 4 Schroeder SR 30 9 5 Tussey OV 22 3 6 Arthur BN 18 11 Smith is a move in from California I believe and has fit right in. He should cruise to the title. 132 1 Smith BN 33 3 CHAMP 2 Deckard EDG 8 2 3 Balsmeyer SR 34 9 4 Bartholomew PA 28 9 Sec Champ 2016 5 Hensley BS 7 9 6 Sage CC 17 12 This could be the deepest weight but Blubaugh comes out on top. There is no clear 2nd place after him though and anyone from 2-8 can take it. 138 1 Blubaugh BS 29 6 Sec Champ 2016 Reg Champ 2016 2 Bradburn EDG 19 12 3 Foster NK 31 1 4 Cook NV 21 8 5 Dearing SR 29 14 6 Inman BN 22 13 7 Terwiske JA 17 15 Sec Champ 2016 8 Stroud PA 20 7 Webb dominates with everyone else fighting for second. Look for Wigand to battle Heckman for a chance in the finals. 145 1 Webb BS 30 4 2 Heckman EDG 24 9 3 Wigand JA 23 8 Sec Champ 2016 4 Fleck FP 28 7 5 Kane SR 24 10 6 Dooley WV 19 7 The second toughest weight class here. Aydelott is the clear favorite but look for Dalton and Schank to give him everything he wants in the finals. 4th place is up in the air with several quality wrestlers. 152 1 Aydelott EDG 26 3 Sec Champ 2016 Reg Champ 2016 2 Schank SR 37 5 Sec Champ 2016 3 Dalton BN 30 5 4 Burton PA 33 3 5 Heading NV 23 7 6 Sollars WV 15 9 7 Kirk MI 14 3 8 Presson BS 17 15 The most open weight class…I can see Wampler BN #8 or Bedford THS #1 winning it. Look for the young Bohnenkamp from Mitchel to make some noise! 160 1 Buford THS 13 3 CHAMP 2 Bohnenkamp MI 27 4 3 Miller SA 34 5 4 Smith WA 21 6 5 Weber NK 25 5 6 Minor NV 18 6 7 Ross BS 14 18 8 Wampler BN 18 8 The second most open weight class. There is no favorite and everything is up for grabs. Murrell THN has a pretty good practice partner so he gets the edge. Schlegel has 11 losses but wrestles one of the toughest schedules in the state. Nunamaker has the tool to win as well. 170 1 Murrell THN 22 9 2 Schlegel BS 22 11 3 Nunamaker SR 32 8 4 Creasy WV 16 2 5 Raye SA 31 5 6 Slone MI 25 3 7 Johnson WA 21 13 8 Shahrani BN 19 13 9 Flynn JA 20 10 Dull and Hendrich will battle for the umpteenth time! These two are head and shoulders above everyone else. Last year Hendrich won sectionals and regionals but fell by 1 point in semi state semi finals and then lost to Dull for 3/4. Dull ended up taking 5th at state. Dull has a UTB win over Hendrich this season that was on a buzzer beater! 182 1 Dull THN 28 0 5th at state 2 Hendrich NV 26 3 Sec Champ 2016 Reg Champ 2016/15 SQ 3 Williams WA 21 13 4 Coldren EDG 17 8 5 Carter SR 27 10 6 Slaughter MI 20 8 Michel should roll through sectionals and regionals but has several quality wrestlers who look to dethrone him. Open weight after Michel. 195 1 Michel SR 40 2 Sec Champ 2016 2 Brown MI 27 3 3 Holland THS 20 12 4 Barclay THN 22 7 5 Hardy NK 21 5 6 Smith BN 19 12 Rivera and Allgood are battled tested against tough competition but Wade only has 1 loss and is a defending sectional champion. Vegas would have trouble picking this weight’s winner! 220 1 Rivera THS 25 4 2 Allgood BS 17 6 3 Wade MI 25 1 Sec Champ 2016 4 Wilson EDG 18 9 5 Hollen SA 28 9 6 Chistenbery THN 13 10 Moshak looks to be the favorite but as we know with HWT’s, anything can happen! 285 1 Moshak THN 25 5 2 Hillenburg BS 18 11 3 Heady EDG 19 10 4 Deford OV 18 8 5 Kramer SR 32 10 6 Nuckels NK 18 5
  2. Brought to you by EI Sports By JEREMY HINES Thehines7@gmail.com Randy May’s name deserves to be in the mix when talking about Indiana’s all-time best wrestlers. May went undefeated as a sophomore, junior and senior at Bloomington South High School in the 1974-76 seasons. He won three state championships during that span. Perhaps the only thing keeping him off the podium his freshman season was that he was too small (he weighed right at 84 pounds), and he was behind the brother of three-time state champion Jim Cornwell for a spot in the varsity lineup. “I was just too little to make the varsity team,” May said. “My coach, Kay Hutsell, had already won four state championships as a coach. Bloomington had a tradition back then like Evansville Mater Dei does now. And it was almost as hard to crack our varsity lineup as it was to win a state title.” Hutsell had coached Bloomington to team state championships in 1969, 70, 71 and 72. During that span Bloomington had seven individual champions. In 1973 Bloomington split into Bloomington North and Bloomington South. Hutsell became Bloominigton South’s coach, and led them to another state championship in the 1973 season. That season May lost just one time in the reserve matches – to a varsity junior from Owen Valley. “I got beat by him,” May said. “It was a good match. He ended up being one win away from going to the state tournament.” May hurt his back his freshman year and coach Hutsell sent him to help coach the feeder system at Smithville Middle School. “I was mad,” May said. “I wanted to be with the team. I had so much energy for the sport. Eventually coach let me travel with the team on dual meets. That was a privilege. I got to be on the team bus with everyone and I was sort of brought up under their wings. I was with guys like Marty Hutsell and Doug Hutsell (both were two-time state champs).” May knows living in Bloomington when he did was the best possible place for him to grow as a wrestler. He vividly remembers being allowed to go to Indiana University during their clinics and camps. “I had great coaching,” May said. “Everyone thought I would one day go to IU. I was able to go there anytime I wanted and I was able to wrestle kids from all over the country that came in for the clinics and the camps. “In 1975-76 money was very tight and there was a gas shortage. I’d drive to IU after I got off of work and I’d go to one of the wrestling clinics where kids would stay for the whole week from across the country. You would get a new batch of kids each week.” May would bet the kids that he could take them down. If he took them down, they had to pay him a dime. If they took him down, he would pay a dollar. “I took all their candy money,” May said. “That always paid for my gas.” May dominated his foes on the mat during the high school season much like he did at the clinics. He never lost a varsity match. After high school he chose to wrestle at Cleveland State University, which at the time was a national top 20 program. “I had dreams of being a four-time National champion,” May said. “I had my whole future mapped out. I wanted to be an Olympian and then I wanted to coach wrestling.” Things didn’t work out as May had planned. He developed a debilitating disease that changed his life course and took him away from wrestling. He was only able to wrestle one college match. “The disease shuts down the central nervous system,” May said. “It can kill you. But I worked my ass off. They told me I should have been on bed rest, but I didn’t stop working. When I couldn’t stand, I’d pull myself up. I still went to practice every day.” May eventually realized his wrestling career would have to be over. “I was walking with the aid of a cane at the time,” May said. “I was struggling with guys that I knew I should have been able to kick their ass. I wrestled one match against a four-time state champion from West Virginia. He took me down and I said, ‘you have got to be kidding me’. I came back and tied the match and won on riding time. But I knew I wasn’t myself anymore. I knew wrestling was over for me.” May had to refocus his life goals, and his career. He didn’t want to coach the sport he could no longer participate in. He now runs a business in underground utilities and lives in Florida. His son, Randy Jr., took up wrestling in high school and quickly found success. “He was a natural and I loved watching him,” May said. “He took fourth in state his junior year and as a senior he was ranked No. 1 and got very sick and ended up finishing sixth. He won over 100 matches and I was at his practices every day. The team won state his senior year and I was able to travel with the guys.” Six years ago, Randy Jr., passed away. May has suffered more than most his age. But he remains positive. He credits his outlook on life on his upbringing. “I was brought up with a good work ethic,” May said. “We had tasks and chores. My parents wanted them done right. I’d complain, but then I realized if I worked hard and did them right the first time, with a good attitude, I was going to get a reward. I could go play in the woods or go swimming. “I guess I carried that attitude over into life. I always try to have a good work ethic and a positive attitude. That will make you successful in anything you do.”
