Aren't the classes determined by school enrollment and not individual talent? Just because he wrestled in a lower class does not mean he didn't beat some quality wrestlers to win the title. He weighed in, he wrestled, he won. Enough said. Quit downplaying a great achievement!

How do you read people's mind so well? Miss Cleo in disquise?

Give us a name or at least a school and weight class.

Wow, I didn't know he went to OSU. I beat him in the KOB when he was a sophomore and I was a senior. I did know he won state his senior year but I didn't know he wrestled in the Big 10. Damn, I was better than I thought. :-D

If the above statements are true than Matt Fahy won MS state as a 4th grader? That's unreal. Who beat him in '07 and '08?

Yeah, but he's been working hard. Even running several miles on the weekends!!

You might want to spend a little more time concentrating in your English class because even state champs have to be academically eligible.

How great would it be to have these two in a Big 10 Final?

In the late 80's and early 90's, Western had some very good wrestlers with 3 State Champs, at least 4 runnner ups and probably 10 or so top 6's. This was when it was a district and only 16 went to state and top 6 placed. We also tied for 5th as a team in 1988 and again in 1993, I believe. The State Champs and Runners Up to the best of my knowledge are: Tony Bowling - 1st 1988 Chad Conway - 2nd 1988 Earl Smith - 1st 1989 Daron Britain - 2nd 1989 James Elliot - 1st 1991 Tim Hardin - 2nd 1992 Kevin White - 2nd 1993

Also a running back at U of L, I believe.

These results should probably win 99% of the time. It had to be a weird tournament.

Don't look so forward to the rematch that you get beat in the quarter's or semi's. One match at a time and NEVER underestimate your opponent.

It sucks when the best two don't get on opposite sides of the bracket. The top two deserve their chance under the lights.

Jim Southard (Flick) who coached at Western for about 30 years then later assisted at Desales. Western had a great program in the late 80s and early 90s. One of the few teams in the county who could hang with Trinity and St X. We even won the JCTC in 88.

Sullivan had 235 consecutive. I assume that's from last loss at state in 8th grade through state finals senior year. He was unbeaten in grades 9-12 until State Finals loss. So Fahy would be doing great to get to 240.

I hope it's not a familiar hairdo.

Nice post. It sounds like you have a long and illustrious life ahead of you. Good Luck.

If any other # 1 beats #2 by a score of 10-2, would everyone have the same feelings? This is to point out everyone's expectations of Courtney. Everyone expects domination every time out no matter the opponent.

fake right, shoot left fake left, shoot right fake lock up, shoot middle

Anyone that can achieve their goals at 18 years of age, can achieve their goals at 17 years of age with hard work and determination. Whoever you are talking about needs to bust their ass in the weight room and more importantly, the matroom and get better. To ask a kid to sacrifice a year in school just to satisfy a parent's or coach's ego is just plain rediculous.

'Atta boy Cody!! What were the consolation finals?
