grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted May 14, 2018 Ok I was bored, i started wondering who the all times greates would be per wt. class. I thought it would be easier to find the region all time greats first. This it the weight classes by year (I know. I'm a nerd) Weight classes by year 1964-68 1969 1970 ^1971-87 1988-94 1995 1996-2001 *2002-11 2012--- 95 95 95 98 103 100 103 103 106 103 103 107 105 112 106 112 112 113 112 112 115 112 119 112 119 119 120 120 120 123 119 125 119 125 125 126 127 127 130 126 130 126 130 130 132 133 133 137 132 135 134 135 135 138 138 138 145 138 140 142 140 140 145 145 145 155 145 145 151 145 145 152 154 154 165 155 152 160 152 152 160 165 165 175 167 160 172 160 160 170 180 175 185 185 171 185 171 171 182 Hwt Hwt Hwt Hwt 189 215 189 189 195 Hwt Hwt 215 215 220 Hwt Hwt Hwt So as not to have two wt. classes from a single year represented. I came up with these wt. Classes for this poll. 1. (95-100) 2. (103-107) 3. (112-115) 4. (119-123) 5. (125-127) 6. (130-134) 7. (135-138) 8. (140-142) 9. (145-151) 10 (152-155) 11. (160-167) 12. (170-180) 13. (182-189) 14. (215-195) 15. (220-Hwt) (Until 1988 max in Hwt was 250lbs) Who do you nominate? We can use the current regional alignment. Since I'm a NKY weirdo we will use this one for region 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted May 14, 2018 I will start it off with my first two. #9 wt class (Robbie Clarkston) Conner 4 timer last title at 145 #15 wt Class (Austin Myer) Campbell Co. 4 timer 220. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch 178 Report post Posted May 15, 2018 I would have to agree that Austin Myers is number one since he won 4 regional titles at 220. People feared him. I wouldn’t have wanted to wrestle him. Region 6 has historically been the toughest region in the state. We have had some dominant kids that come out of region 6. I will only speak on the last 10 years. Garth yenter, Sean Fausz, Clay Brown, Kevin Cooper and Casey Cornett come to mind. They all have multiple state titles and we’re fortunate enough wrestle D1 in college. Casey and Fausz have multiple placements at National Events The next group from region 6 in my opinion is Tanner Yenter, Brady Wells, Ryan Moore, and Mason Smith. As far as the success outside of the state from region 6 it has to go to Austin Myers 3x NHSCA champ, NHSCA runner up, Flo Champ, multiple Fargo AA’s. Ryan Moore would be a close 2nd. 4x NHSCA placer, 3x Flo Placer, Fargo AA. Call me homer but I will throw Mason’s name out there for success outside the state. 2x NHSCA finalist, Flo Nationals AA, Cliff Keen preseason nations AA. I would love to hear some more names. I can tell you all these guys were fun to watch but my family goes way back to the 80’s as far as following wrestling. I have a brother that is 8 years older and I grew up with all the tough wrestlers from Conner in the 80’s. They would all hangout at my house and I thought they were tough as they come. So for any old timers I’m sure you all remember Todd and Troy Cole, Jay Hargis, and the rest of the beast from Conner. I still joke with Troy that this generation of wrestlers would have kicked their butts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted May 15, 2018 Early 80's Conner and Boone battled. (Boone) Joe Archer, Mike McDaniels, Kevin Robb, Andy Mulcahy. Strawn Nutter. (Conner) Robbie Clarkston, Kelly Stickrod, Todd Cole, Troy Cole, Jeff Lawrence, Matt Shotwell. Late 80's became a battleground between Conner, Campbell, and Simon Kenton. (Conner) John Wyan, Rob Madden, Pat Martz, Craig Burtleson,(Campbell) Matt Shearer with a strong overall team not many super standouts. (Simon) Jamie Baugh, David Fuehner, David Barns, With other solid kids on the team. All these names need considering. Mostly Strawn Nutter, Robbie Clarkston, Troy Cole, John Wyan, Pat Martz, David Barns. (no particular order). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch 178 Report post Posted May 15, 2018 I thought of a few more names that were dominate in Region 6. Mike and Matt Lee. They were wrestling varsity at an early age for a very tough Simon Kenton team. Logan Erdman was one of the most talented wrestlers I have ever seen. Man I loved watching him wrestle.

dutch 178 Report post Posted May 16, 2018 Frank was during my time. I remember the talk was always frank vs Dion Washington. I believe frank beat him twice. Frank was probably giving up 50lbs to most heavies, but was to fast for most of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
