Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Your School's all-time all-star team

I believe Nate Blevins won a state title his senior year: I may be wrong, though.

Havent seen a Norton team yet, and I would be curious to see a Campus High team

Blevins was a two time runner up but a four time placer I believe

You are right: Nate Blevins is a 2x runner-up.

I'll never forget how he reacted at kids state in 1998 after he got beat out....it was a sight to see. Not trying to take anything away from his achievements: it was just astonishing, yet extremely funny. It made me feel better about getting beat out, too.

I wanna see Derby, Turner, and Bonner I heard Bonner used to have Killer Wrestlers.

Well i have asked for Norton, Campus and i would like to see a Beloit team as well, since they had the killer teams of the 80's

i made a feeble attempt at Clay Center's.

275- the only weight that i couldnt find a champ for. maybe someone could help me out here

Here is my attempt at a Norton Line-up. In some weights there were too many deserving wrestlers, so I listed more than one. This is a pretty salty group from top to bottom. I left out many 1x champs and multiple placers, just due to room and the time! I also have each wrestler at a weight class they WON at least one state title, but it may not be their senior year.

One interesting note is Kurt Hahn who I have listed at 145. He was a champ at 112, then the next year won it at 145. That is a huge jump, does anyone know of a larger jump for a wrestler to make and still win state in consecutive years?

Coach Twink,

You took on quite a job wading through 70 years of Norton Wrestling history. Can't dispute any that you included, but would also offer up J.D. Hand for consideration at 145; multiple state placer and 1x champ at 145.

Quentin Horning, was however, the stud of studs.

If I remember correctly, Jon Dong had beaten Kendall Hahn at state in '89 for the championship and Kendall returned the favor in '90. Kendall also beat Dong in a GREAT match in the Pburg Panther Classic in '90.

Kent, Kyle and Kendall Hahn are all brothers and their uncle is Richard Wyatt. Richard's son Shane was a state champ at 185 in the early 80's. Evan Whitney, on your list at 135 is a cousin to the Wyatts and Hahns.

Good job!

See you Friday night in Norton.

Egg,

I definitely can't take all the credit- fortunately the wrestling scrap book Coach Johnson puts together each year helped alot. I had all State placings since '97 at my disposal.

Can't wait to get there!
