Region 1 All-Decade Team

Recommended Posts

Figured since the season is over we can start doing nostalgic stuff again as we wait for next season to start up. Something I don't believe we've done yet is create all decade teams for the historical regions. This may get a little messier as we go further into the past but this can be for that solid core of Caldwell County, Christian County, Hoptown, Fort Campbell, and Union County with the occasional Paducah or such stud thrown in.

Since the decade I competed in was the 2000's I figured I would try to cover the 2000-2009 team. I moved weights around a bit to try and get two guys per weight class. I did my best to pick the weight they had the most success at but some may be in a more meh spot. I feel like I missed some guys from say pre-2006, and did my best to not have a 2007-2009 bias. I would do write ups but I don't think it fair to write about some of the older guys when I never got to see them compete.

Be sure to mention any deserving names I missed, or ask why I put in one guy and not another. Or even better leaving the Region 1 glory years of the 80's and 90's to one of you all. The era of such legends as "Fat Man" Merritt, Dave Richey, and the elder Ervins.

IMHO the 2nd team 119 should be Anthony Smith- 2000 state runner-up, you should flip the 152's Walls a state placer versus Ervin a State Champion, and your 1st team 140 should be James Lett State runner-up 2001.
