userdaddy 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 IMO thats crazy for u to say that.... He only lost to Carr (twice) his senior year. The 1st match Carr was clearly stuck (but thats another thread, look it up if u wish to debate) But Tinsley for sure belongs on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 I can think of someone but I doubt anyone would agree cause his only big wins were against a Sophomore Aaron Carr, a Junior Andre Zeppa, and a split series with Jake Wempe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking more along the lines of top 10 that have never won state and he wouldn't make my list there. But everyone has their own opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestling Dad 99 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 He was a good wrestler but not deserving on this list. He had 1 or 2 good throws per match, then usually ended up getting worked on the mat.I don't agree. He won the Mater Dei tournament against very, very good competition. During that time frame teams came from Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and the best in Indiana. I agree he was not a great wrestler on top, but he had a very quick standup and escape. His conditioning was a bit suspect, but Andrew Tinsley was one of the better wrestlers to never win state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't put him in the same category as some of the others on this thread (Josh Cooper, Daniel Thunneman, Pat Banks, Todd May, Dion Washington, Mark Richardson).

tc125 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 ive said it before, but ill say it again. to me daniel thueneman has got to be the best to never win. i mean was he a three time third placer? losing to the guy that won it those three times? he was a hell of a wrestler, and the only wrestler i can ever remember watching wrestle courtney and wonder who was going to win.

Statistically he might be the best but three 2nd place finishes seems more prestigious obviously because it's a step higher on the podium.I think it was Nelly's song that said "two is not a winner and three nobody remembers". Lol it's kind of true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly couldn't predict who was gonna win between the two. I'm pretty sure Banks was the last KY boy to beat Courtney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeus 117 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 I thought Theuneman beat Courtney during Courtney's sophomore season once, maybe at the South Oldham tourney? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tc125 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 i dont know if that is true jpizar, it seems i would remember if courtney lost a match to thueneman at south oldham, cause i loved watching both of them wrestle, and tates creek attends that tournament. although, you may be right, but im leaning more towards you are thinking of something else, or some other tournament at a different time.

mouse35 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2010 Anthony Smith- Christian County2nd his Sophomore year at 112 (1998)4th his Junior year (because of the worst call ever, but that's another story) at 112 (1999)2nd his Senior year at 119 (2000)I'm sorry, is this the same Anthony Smith who threw a tantrum when he lost and had a rotten attitude? May have had some strong skills in wrestling, but the guy wasn't a class act. Shaun Cecil was a strong technical wrestler who just couldn't get past the semis. Kid placed in state every year since 8th grade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
