Merry Christmas bighead!! Nice to see ya on here.

Thanks Big Mike, Merry Christmas to you as well.

Richard, Big Head, etc. There is a picture on the wall at South High of Kenny Rogers. He is holding a Grand State Bracket and his name is on it! I don't know where the results are, but Kenny Rogers was a Grand State Champion at some point. Are you sure it was not in the 80's?

Bighead, why not put Matt Mock at heavyweight?

I still cannot believe that fat boy won a state title.

no, carroll's only won state 2 of the last 4 years and theyve dominated the city league for 65-some duals.... i think they could get one on...

Ok Farva2313 don't let nothing hold you back get that list on here. Its all for fun. We can dual online!!

Carrol has had some pretty good wrestlers...off the top of my head...

J.D. Johnson 4x placer
Jarred Vogel 4x placer, state champion
Blake Seiler I think 2x state champion
Josh Maze 2x state champion
Pat Gengerosos state champion
Eric Hanna state champion
Kenny Brown state champion

Those are just off the top of my head, and all wrestled in high school since the mid 90's.

I'm trying to find the connection between LittleBigHead and Carrol!! lol

Brandon Vogel is Jerrod Vogel's older brother. Brandon was in the SigEp fraternity at WSU with me, so Jerrod Vogel and Kenny Brown use to play poker and drink with use quite frequently....after they dropped out of seminary school. I knew neither one of them would become priests.

Blake Seiler has an older brother named Adam Seiler whom was in the SigEp fraternity with me, too. So Carrol wrestling was quite the topic of discussion. However, Marcus Barber was a Sigep, too, and he represented the great program David Nigg has built and Mike Church Jr. is leading into the next couple of generations.

Littlebighead... you might need to cut back on your drinking.. it think your judgement is becoming impaired! lol

It is possible that LittleBigHead may not be drinking. :-) LittleBigHead I knew your brother fairly well but I thought you were a yell leader! I don't remember you wrestling.

yeah, I had a problem making it through seasons. I have infamously been known to quit wrestling half way through seasons. Not proud of it, but it happened.

However, I was decent. I beat a number of state placers and wrestled some close matches against some others. By no means was I a scrub.

Thanks for your concern MikeChurch Sr.
