Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Bes NON state champ

How about Charles Knox or did he win one?

Egg:

I definitely remember Marstellar- he was STRONG, but not quite as strong as Glick. I am pretty sure Brett took 5th that year. Another stong one from 135 that year was Kelly Stoppel from Scott City (my 1st high school match). That guy looked like he was chiseled from a solid block of Marble. I guess you could say I earned my dues wrestling those guys every stinking tournament and dual my freshman year!

I am biased, but I think that Derek Ross, Dylan Loyd, Trevor Richard of St. Francis are three wrestlers that could have won multiple times. They did have problems with the big matches, but they were very tough, and wrestled nationally. All three of them are wrestling in college, two at Hays and one at Kearney. Between the three of them there are 5 second place, 5 third place, and one fifth place finish.

What about best wrestler to never place at state?

or the best wrestler never to have wrestled!

maple doesn't count, he still has a chance to win state, still in high school.

nick figge from turner. did he ever win it?

Twink,

More than once your Freshman year I was SINCERELY fearful that you were going to get hurt. There were some beasts that year at 135. Smith Center had a real good, strong kid that year also.

Egg/Dad

I'll throw my support to Dave also.

i dont think figge even placed as a senior

"never to have placed" There was a kid from desoto name Lahey, who was like a national champ/kids champ several times as a kid but quit as a sophomore

Also, Manny Moore(Topeka), Quintyn Bolay (Goddard)

Brandon Terry, Dusty Klein, Nick Budig,Loren Beek, Brandon Terry was a division 2 aa for Nebraska Kearney wrestled to a 4th place finish with a blown out knee as a senior and 3rd as a junior

Tell you what, Byan Roberts of Turner was pretty darn good he just couldnt get by Beeson of Ark City. Nobody else could either but they wrestled (i think) all three years in the finals. Both were national placers later on in college.

Dusty Klein of Oakley WAS a State Champ in '94

Westfahl, Beeson and Roberts only met twice in the finals, Brian's sophmore year he wrestled Jerome Hernandez from AC. Also I do believe that Brian placed in college but Beeson did not.

some others that were unefeted and lost was luke page,troy rietcheck, ryan becker. Jeff Carlson matt davidson, jeff dannenberg,justin montgomery ryan washburn corey scott to name some more

Hey Beeson, which Beeson was it that won it I think at Central Oklahoma or was that Beeson related to the Ark City Beesons. Since you are a Beeson I am thinking you are the person to ask

Same Beeson, that was me. I wrestled for Central but never placed, but I like the outcome of your story better.

Hey go with it lol. A bad memory is sometimes better than the other way around lol. You were darn good though, I didn't ever coach against you but saw you wrestle many times. You were a tough critter. I had so much respect for all of you and certainly for your coach. It was one of the reasons i was glad we went down to 5A because it gave us a chance to wrestle against Ark City. It was a privilege.
