In all sports except football and basketball, freshmen were eligible starting in 1968 I believe.
Except that result was expected from the very beginning of the movie.
RangerDan would be impressed
This is why I will miss the scuffle. Often times it's an announcement party for our freshmen, letting the wrestling world know they are coming for them.
Slight correction. Conel pinned Moore in the quarterfinals, but the score was 5-3 in the match for 3rd place.
I think the even bigger upset was him scoring on Carla.
@Ranger Dan gonna be pissed.
Not at me. I didn't spoil it, just pointed out that Hollywood understands the human psyche.
You have to make it somewhat realistic. Your alternate ending never happens in real life.
Well, the alternate ending where Godzilla crushes Bambi happens almost all the time in real life. It’s in the movies that it somehow keeps getting avoided.

I remember, my first bowl game as an alumni, but I did not consider it an upset, I always knew they could win!
One of the best wrestled match I have seen in a while. Just felt Bo was going to find a way to win and wrestled very smart. Love that match
Biggest upset I saw in high school involved an eventual Penn state wrestler. Jason Betz was a three time PIAA champion and undefeated in his career. Got caught in the quarterfinals in a spladdle and pinned. Came back to take third but you could have heard a pin drop in Hershey that day. He was pinned ten seconds before the ref slapped the mat.
Mentioned this earlier in thread. I was there and missed it. Heard some gasps and asked my buddy what happened. He said Betz got decked. I looked and saw him running off the arena floor. Lengle from Pine Richland pinned him in semis and lost to Makel in the finals. Makel came down to 125 for Betz after winning a title at 130 the year before. Betz had a loss his freshman year, can't remember who beat him.
Betz did not lose his freshman year I watched every match he wrestled he went into senior year with the opportunity to match lolat with undefeated four time champion. Bait from BEN almost beat him a couple times
Pa-wrestling.com shows him losing his first match as a freshman to Glenn Miller of Mifflinburg 3-2 on 2/28/92. They show him as 147-2.
That wouldn't be his first match, it would be the first match they have a score for.
That's crazy and must be a mistake. I mean I could be wrong but I watched every match his entire freshman year and I'm pretty sure he was undefeated. Like I said I could be wrong. Either way his freshman year at states was tough and he mowed through some tough kids. Always hoped that would have transferred to college but never really did
Anyone remember Bobby Simpson from warrior run. He used to beat the Hughes boys at districts and regionals then lose to them at states. Hell of a wrestler. Took second at states four consecutive years
Do they have stats on how many consecitive years district four had at least two state champions I remember that being a big deal once
I remember him well -- was a real thorn in our side.
Rulon has achieved the pinnacle of sport, among many other life triumphs.
I saw that one in Chattanooga. Ed looked very tired (more than his usual laconic demeanor) and he didn’t seem in good shape. Wake up call!
