(I beleive only in the NKAC). He prefered wrestling the big guys. I can only remember 1 guy he never defeated at 215 or lower. SK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will say that all the people you mentioned were great wrestlers that had a shot at winning a title. I would add to your list Chris Sullivan, Gary Jennings, Cody Moy from prp, James Badgett(BC), Justin Medlin(Western) to name a few that came up short.

He then transfered to PRP and was ineligable to wrestle his senior year. And, I must say, the names old140 added were some good ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

archibaldhumperdink 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Shetler from South Oldham in 98 couldnt have been that good I beat him at state by pin in the first period and I only wrestled two months of my life before state my senior year. Not that I am awsome by any means ...right the opposite actually thats my point. Maybe he was injured or something because I think he screamed in pain when I pinned him. Then the refs may have stopped the match after that, so I dont know if I got the pin or they stopped the match... But the ref slapped the mat and seemed as though I pinned him. I only got 5th place too so I dont know if getting beat by a no body who learned three moves before state makes you one of the all time greats. I dont know maybe he was. Hey maybe I was one of the greats....uhh definatley not. Would have been cool to learn more moves early on as a freshman at least or something. Athletic ability only gets you so far. Not to mention I wrestled like I was fighting just no punches. Took every match personally. I wanted to destroy opponents and I think that mean streak is what got me through. Again maybe he was previously injured before the match who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MatMama 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Just thought of an interesting fact some of the folks new to KY wrestling may not know. If you've followed UK football, you know senior defensive tackle Myron Pryor. Here's a fairly recent link about him: http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/011409aad.htmlWhat you may not know, however, is that Myron wrestled for Eastern High his freshman and sophmore years and started the season his junior year. He couldn't make weight, though, and ended up dropping out. At the time heavyweight was 275 max, and Myron weighed around 285. Myron could bench press more than anyone at Eastern then and now, and he was also very fast for a guy his size. He just manhandled the guys he wrestled.Since Myron got recruited by KY and is likely going to the NFL, he didn't need wrestling, but it's fun to think of what might have been.
