Very cool. And, who are the opponents for these young men? I have heard of this "Dapper Dan" but do not know what it is about.

Did Cotton lose about 8-9 matches in his freshman year but then has only lost once or twice since then? Who was the last to beat Cotton in HS and what was the score?

Just curious.

Thanks.

As a Freshman, Cotton went 28-9 and won the State Title at 145 with a 6-5 decision over Thibault from Maize. He then went 31-2 and 31-0 for his 2nd and 3rd Titles.

Thanks Chief!

Did he lose to some Iowa kids/OK kids his junior year or something? I know some KS teams travel out of state for a few tourneys.

Apparently he was beggining to put it all together towards the end of his freshman -- peeking when it counted most.

I think (but may be wrong) that Romero's last loss in high school was to Lance Roe of Norton in the Semis of Newton in 06. It was a fantastic match that went to OT (that may have been the 1st loss of his sophmore season though).

Has Cotton ever wrestled Haynes from Oak Park?

I know this Summer they wrestled a Greco match at Southern Plains. Haynes won!

I don't believe they have ever wrestled a folkstyle match!!

Yes, Romero has beat Brent Haynes In Folkstyle, Romero knocked Brent Haynes out of the NHSCA Junior national tournament last year on the back side and im not sure, but i think Romero also beat him in freestyle

Wow ... absolute "brain fade" and I was even at the event!!

... of note in that tourney, Romero lost two matches both on a referee's judgement!

Oh snap!

How about his last loss during the High School Season. Was it really to Lance Roe of Norton ?

aldon you weren't sure. the only time romero has beat brent was in o.t. at jr.nationals. brent beat him in folkstyle at lee summit christmas tournament their freshman year and in freestyle one or two times and greco last summer. but anyway congrats to romero on selection.

The last time they wrestled in freestyle was in an exhibition match between there sophomore and junior years in lenexa and i believe romero won that match..

nope

Yep.. but they are both great wrestlers so im not trying to take anything away from Brent. Oh well anyways congrats Romero.
