I think that the dual could have been a lot better with a few matches going our way instead.
I think with J. Schippers wrestling at 145 and a few close matches going our way instead, things could have looked like this.
Hoxie Ponderosa
103 0 6
112 0 12
119 3 12
125 6 12 Think Baker could have won more than half the matches between these two
130 6 15 Don't think Schamburger would normally get pinned
135 9 15 Coulda went either way
140 15 15 With Gilliland getting the pin
145 18 15 With J. Schippers wrestling, at least 3 pts
152 21 15
160 21 19
171 21 22 If Shipley had not gotten pinned
189 21 28
215 21 31
275 21 37
This is kind of stretching it, but you can see where I think that the dual could have been a lot closer than what it was with a healthy Hoxie team. Ponderosa was crazy good, and props to them. I think the announcer Les Brown said Ponderosa has lost 2 duals since 94 and both were in 99. Their average margin of victory this year is by 66.
