madcat11 423 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) The Monroeville 4 minus Logan Stieber. Hunter Stieber 6th, 3rd, injured. Beat the defending champ Russell as a true freshman and with the body of a child. Probably “shoulda,” won his sophomore year, but Port upset him, “woulda,” won his junior year but he was hurt and “coulda,” won his senior year (yes in a bracket with Rutherford), but still hurt. Cam Tessari was 4th as a true freshman then got into some trouble. Sounds like he eventually turned things around. Chris Phillips was a 4x Ohio State Champ, traded wins with Ed Ruth in HS. Didn’t quite make it to college wrestling. Edited March 25, 2020 by madcat11 6 TobusRex, TheOhioState, Ohio Elite and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLS62pa 49 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 I was always very impressed with Ben Whitford. Thought he would have had success. Has had some success in US freestyle competition. Thought the same about Destin McCauley. He ultimately had a decent D2 career, but I thought he would have been sure-fire D1 top dog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t quite make it to college wrestling. I was very excited to see what Phillips could do in college after watching his amazing HS career, but we never had the chance. I honestly at that time, having wrestled HS in Ohio and following Ohio wrestling intensely, originally thought Logan of the whole bunch might burn out by college. Boy was I wrong!! 2 stp and TheOhioState reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shieldofpistis 155 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 I thought after Moore's freshman year he most likely would be 3 timer. The way he wrestles Cox as a freshman was impressive. Moore's sophomore year he gets upset. His junior year he wrestled outstanding.. he just ran into better wrestler 3 times. 1 madcat11 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ExBSUfan 53 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 Chris Owens. I believe a sickness or injury didn’t allow him to compete his senior year. And as a 2nd and 3rd placer at NCAA’s he would have been a contender to win it all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Corps 164 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 My son was a Fargo and Folkstyle AA behind Devin Peterson a few years during high school. Devin was a high-level talent and many thought a lock to do well in DI. He got in some trouble his senior year and I think he wrestled in DII/III. He always carried himself well at tournaments and I never heard a bad word about him. I hope he’s doing well. 1 BadgerMon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HokieHWT 592 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 I should have skipped college athletics and stuck with my passion of architecture. The first year of Architecture at VT is all you take and the class ran all day and through practices. I’d be happier and would have only spent 5 years in college instead of 11 1/2. 2 BadgerMon and GockeS reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bozak2018 42 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 Blake Maurer. 4x Indiana state champ had his career cut short at Ohio St due to injury. Matt Coughlin, IU. Won everything there was to win as a senior. Won Fargo, beat Morningstar at Sr Nationals. Was an AA at IU his RFr year and that was it. I think I remember him trying to cut tons of weight. Was 160 as a senior in HS and was trying to make 149 at IU if I remember correctly. 1 Thor77 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
