Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Best kid never to win a state title

Dan Gentzler aka the runner up! His kids pickup for his slacking though. Congrats Jake 112 State Champ

yes it is!! sorry so late!! lol

I would throw Dylan Loyd from St. Francis in the mix. Dont remember his placings but beat a lot of good kids in his high school career.

Brandon Pfeifer from ellis and Kevin Hadley from Phillipsburg have to be in the mix. Both were 3 time runner up 3 years in a row.

Bryce Bahe Goodland, 6th,2nd (Lost to Tovar from Abilene in O.T. Sophmore vs. Senior) 2nd,3rd.

Mike Howell went on to becoming a 2 or 3 time DII national qualifier.

Hadley was a 2 time runner up 6th as a sophmore Englebert beat Samulson in the finals at 45 that year. I would throw the names Jamal Davis from Lyons, Scott Wise from Plainville Matt Davidson from Smith Center Jeff Dannenberg from Osborone Blake Thybault from Osborne, and Brock Huchison from Smith Center Trent Vaneaton from Stockton Troy Reicheck from Hoxie all pretty good names

Jordan Meyer from Sabetha, Fr. Did not qualify Soph.Qualifier Jr. 2nd. Sr 3rd. undefeated all year until he lost to Engstrom in the quarter-finals at State and fought all the way through the backside to defeat Engstrom for 3rd.

Aaron Meister? Finished I think 5th as a Senior, went on to become a NJCAA champion?

Dustin Bahm of Ark City 2x runner up to Temor Terry.

Michael Scott from Heights 1999. 2 or 3 time state runner up to Spaulding. If I remember right in 1998 and 1999 he beat Spaulding at regionals but lost to him at state

Brandon Pfifer was a 3x runner up from Ellis. I know he lost to Nate Lawrenz from Herington 2x in the finals.

Derrick Weller would have to be thrown into the mix. 2nd, 4th and 3rd at state and in his career has beat numerous state champs.

Aaron Meister won it his senior year

I would say Michael Scott has parlayed his tribulations on the mat into a successful career and life.

He is currently the focus of a TV documentary where he is the Regional Manger of Sabre Paper Company formerly Dunder Mifflen. He also opened his own paper company for a short time under the title of Michael Scott Paper Company.

He is quite the jokester telling innuendo laced "that's what she said" jokes.

Here is a bio for Mr. Michael Scott.

Aaron Meister I believe was 5th twice in 4A. NJCAA Champ, 2x NCAA DII All-American.

Doug Knoll from Osborne was a 4x state runner up back in the 70's. Lost to a different guy each year. I think he had only 5 losses in his H.S. career or something close to that. Frewen from Sainty beat him one year in the finals. That might have been the year Sainty qualified 4 guys to state and they all won it for runner up team finish.
