Well, that battle between the seven (who were not a given) for the 4th place spot proved illusive for my grandson. Close matches, one in overtime, separated him from advancing toward the podium. Got one more year to reach it. I think his weight only had one Sr so he’s likely to see them all again. It’s the nature of a great sport.
bigfug, when my two sons wrestled it was at Westmoore. If your program was advancing 5 -7 wrestlers on to State that was considered a healthy program. In 2000 there was more parity. We contended well with Broken Arrow and Jenks. I think we lost to Broken Arrow in Duel State by one match. That was all under John Finn and Mark Peck. Good to see their quality of coaching so good 24 yrs later.
We know partners are everything in wrestling! Consider that Edmond North advanced an entire line-up! Imagine the partners!!
Our program (that I won’t name) advanced one wrestler. Placing under those circumstances is what I’d call ‘overcoming some odds’! Keeping momentum for any program requires some intentional dedication starting with the Athletic Director. I’d like to see ours used for a throwing dummy in a college room!
Yes, but back when I coached HS wrestling there was nothing more humiliating than for a young boy to get his ass whipped by a girl, not an ounce of manhood left in the boy that physically got beat by a girl… Glad to see separated sports.
Congrats to The Nevada state champion granddaughter.
If you don’t mind me asking weight and class?
Mine was 150 in 4A.
I only ask because 4A is loaded this year.
Man do I know how that goes. G’son ended up seed #8 because of a late slip at the qualifier.
