Any stories out there about guys winning 3 who should have won 4 but got hurt, big upset, bad call, ineligible, etc? See several who won it as freshman but only won 3. I heard there was a guy out there who got 2nd 4 times. Any truth to that?
Biggest one that comes to mind is Beau Tillman of Pratt.
He was a 2X State Champion in the finals his Junior year and came up against 1X State Champion Jeremy Long in his Sophmore season. Tillman was handling Long with relative ease and then out of nowhere (although not entirely unexpected) Long threw a beautiful headlock and pinned Tillman. Beau would go one to win his 3rd in his Senior Year and Long would go on to win 2 more and become a 4X.
I still remember the sound the crowd made when Long threw that headlock.
