Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School The best match you watched all year was between who?

Some matches from Goddard....
Tommy Edgmon vs. Ben Ashmore @ derby..
Russ Freeman vs. Luke Silvers ...last year in texas...russ totally dominated him...
Brad Traina vs. Bishop Price ...semi's at state this year...ALOT of scoring from traina...
and my personal one would have to be..
Me vs. Deshazer @ BVNW tourney...

don't leave me hanging dude - how'd you do against DeShazer and how'd Edgmon do against Ashmore? ;-)

Well at the Derby tourney Tommy lost to Ashmore 2-1...He let him up in the 3rd in hopes of getting a takedown...

At the BVNW tourney I lost 3-1...a lot of good offense and a couple takedowns going out-of-bounds...

I'm going to avoid the Goddard matches, because there were too many that I loved watching.

At the Senior Classic I thought Naccarato was a BEAST! He got about a 1 inch gash above his eye. Blood was everywhere! His dad came on the mat, saw the rip in his son's dome, and says "Oh, he's fine, just tape him up." Justin acted like it was nothing more than an inconvenience and proceeded to beat a very tough opponent. I probably would have passed out from all of the blood if it were mine. Tough Kid!

I thought the Roe v. Cotton match was one of the most action packed of the year. It could have went either way on several flurries. Two studs for sure.

in kids wrestling it was cox vs. furches at state.... in high school it was deangelo brooks vs. chris sheideman at the atchison tourney

back to Goddard matches- Tanenbaum vs. Freeman at states- an amazing overtime match that Tanenbaum somehow willed himself to the win

Blake Long and Boaz Beard at Derby was pretty good as well, at least one of those that still sticks in my mind.

At the BVNW tourney I lost 3-1...a lot of good offense and a couple takedowns going out-of-bounds... [/QB][/QUOTE]

Wow, good job man. So, you avoided the dreaded and feared headlock?! ;-)

well I wrestled him three times this year...first match up was 5-1....its was 3-1 with 30secs left and i went for a desperation takedown and got taken down myself...second was at bvnw...then our last match up at goddard i got thrown in a headlock....was on my back for 1:30 in the first period...then went on to loose 11-1...so i avoided it 2 outta 3 times..

Yea that was a great match...I don't know how Tanenbaum scrambled outta those last couple takedown attempts by Freeman...

Who is DeAngelo Brooks (what school?) Also I think if Elliot is mentioned in any match it has to be Elliot v. Allen of Clay Center at State.

Sutton-Kearn vs Strawn in the state finals

and, where is the net video of it? I guess someone predicted correctly when they say it wont be available . . . Darn. I was in Wichita.

Deangelo Brooks is Kansas City Shlagle's 140 pounder

at the silver lake tournament in the finals corwin(sl) and a kid from clay center. a good double overtime win by corwin. he started out on bottem and got an escape with like five seconds left

I don't know if they would be classified as the best matches, but as someone that had to sit in a chair watch them, they certainly were the most exciting as a coach were the matches between Remington's Sophomore Cameron Motter and Bluestem's Senior Jeremy Vancil.

Vancil won the first go around 2-2 in double overtime and Motter won the next two 4-2. Though the low score may not indicate it, all three matches showed some aggressive wrestling. Motter ended up a regional champion and Vancil ended up taking 4th in the state at 3A-1A, so both wrestlers had outstanding seasons. The mutual repsect that these two have gained for each other is impressive, and in a lot of ways that what wrestling is about.
