By some people's theory John Smith must be a moron. He actually took a college wrestler to the national tournament with a losing record. How embarassing for the Cowboys! The guy must have got smoked. Two and B-B-Q? No...
"In 1994, he won one of the most improbable titles in NCAA history. He entered the NCAAs with an 8-9 record but marched to the NCAA title. He is one of only five Cowboys to win the NCAA title as a freshman." Marc Branch.
I'm not saying this has happened in our state tournament, but to deny a guy his place at one of the most memorable events of his life is crazy. Let's quit trying to split up the few people that love the greatest sport on Earth. You never know, a 2-16 guy might end up as a great advocate for our sport.
