Yeah, I think Ploesser grew him in his secret lab at the basement of the school. He was hatched not born hehe :-D

and I wont be a homer and say Livingston is the better.. Hell, Bruce Stepp beat 2 really good wrestlers in the Grubbs brothers

Yeah but I say Put one at 215 and the other at Heavy.

If Trice would have been given the chance to complete 4 years of high school, than he would be in the same conversation as Carr.

trying to find were someone called you wusses...unable too Also cant speak on behalf of anyone elses post, so ill just stick with mine. Hopkinsville is 2nd on your champion list at state but has been unable to get out of this pathetic coaching slump after Ploesser retired. But hopefully now that Ennels, Pinner, & Diaz are there, just maybe the program will return to those glory days. Wrestling is un like any sport, it takes a process (maybe 3-4 years) to get back on track. It all starts with those young ones, so hopefully can come back just as strong as ever.

I agree and please dont say that im being bias... Its just one ...well 2 mans opinion :wink:

The only reason Hank doesnt come up more, is because of the Horn match his senior year. Hank doesnt lose that match if he is 100% healthy, which by the way he was in their rematch at the blue grass games when he beat Horn.

or by looking at some of you old post, you are a big Woodford Homer. No worries mate, great program as well you should be. :wink:

Dang dude... Hit a nerve.. Drink to much coffee?? Oh I get it, you where there and saw it for yourself.. No? You just dont like WKY? No.......hmmmmm dunno then..

There will be much debate on this topic and many wrestlers can be left out due to people not being lucky enough to watch them at their peak or just plain bias towards WKY or NKY. Overall KY has put out some monster wrestlers and not all chose to take it to the next level or chose to play soccer or football at the next level ( Ian Horn, Miguel Merritt) or got injured along the way.

Dont know about now, but as far as old school, Jeremy Rhodes was as stong as an ox for his size. Of coarse Livingston Merritt was as solid as they came, and of coarse the lil power house Tendi Charsika :? spell

And WKY could possibly have more... Willie Ennels 3X champ 2nd at the High School Nationals his Senior Year. Tom Lee, Grady Petterson, Shawn Smith, Miguel Merritt

what list are u lookin at??? Livingston Merritt and Jarod Trice are on there

Just a simple question.. are you for it or against it.. Shouldnt you at least try to keep the top guys as far away from each other as you can, so that it makes for a great finals not a great semi-finals. Ive seen a few less than great wrestlers make it to the finals in my day because of an easy part of the bracket and a real tough second part. Just a simple question guys.

yes you are correct. the 2 X Alabama undefeated state champ was pinned by Miguel Merritt

yeah Smith also was undeafeted the year befor and ended up a 2X champ... If my memory is correct Dunn pinned one of them early in the year.

Petterson was 2X state champ and undeafeted the year before.

Thats what I was thinking as well

Chistian County

Every one wants to beat the best... Do it why you can cause I dont see them staying down for long, and I never can imagin them dropping as low as Hopkinsville and C.C. has since their dominant years. They are the team we love to hate, but just like Mater Dei. God I cant stand Mater Dei !!!

Yeah Petterson was grabing his groin area at the Woodford bench, and laying on the mat in and un-sportsman like way. Talbolt was a beast that year! The kid from Conner was the biggest 119 I ever seen that he beat in the Finals.

I agree. Tiger Tourny was never the same after that. St X replaced Woodford in the years after and Grissom still showed up.. But the atmosphere wasnt the same

Tony Harris.. He was a long time Hoptown Assist. now over at Christian County. He starts the base for a good middle school foundation so they will be ready for the Varsity. The assistants dont always get the glory, been Tony deserves some. The only man that I've ever seen work a full time job , 2 or 3 part time jobs at the same time and still have time to help his program. Thanx a million MACHINE!!!

Jim Ploesser !!!!! :-) Dominated mid and late 80's and early 90's. Faught off cancer twice!!! ENJOY RETIREMENT JIM

I do see your point, but Livingston acctually took 1 loss his senior year at 275. Where at 215 he was so dominant his 10th and 11th grade years. but I do see that you would have to make room in other weights.
