Best HS match I have seen - 02/21/09 12:55 PM
Finals of 95 or 96 state. Two seniors, o/a 130/135. Paola and Clay Center. Paola perfect HS record--no losses--2 time state champ as soph and junior. As I rember had gone to Columbus as a freshman--undefeated but got hurt before end of season--moved to Paola. Clay Center-multiple state champ--perhaps undefeated as a senior. Strike and counter--back and forth. Refs went to the circle, crossed their arms and became spectators. Clay Center the winner---went on to wrestle I think at Kearney State, and All American. Don't think Paola wrestler continued on.

Trying to think of who that might have been as I was wrestling at Paola during this time. I don't remember if he had a perfect HS record and came from Chanute but could it have been Jason Blanding? He was at that weight for Paola during that time as was definitely a solid kid. I remember he battled a kid from Clay Center but can't recall his name.

It was either blanding or Shay (not Brian but his little brother). I'm pretty sure it was my Freshman year at State in 1996.

Great topic/thread.
DeShazer vs. Baldridge - both FOUR time state champs, wrestling Greco-Roman. DeShazer builds a quick and big lead as he had a big edge in quickness that appeared to take Baldridge by surprise. Baldridge recovers, comes storming back but runs out of time and loses by one. Very exciting.
Later that same day the two wrestled again against each other in free-style. Baldridge dominated that one.

Bradley and Bunch back in the late 90's at Kids State in Topeka, CLASSIC ! Also 3 years ago at Salina, Kearns vs the Holten kid (I can't believe I can't think of his name)for the title at 171. 3 OT's but was decided on a penalty point. Great match though.

Jesse Strawn (Holden kid) - still wrestling at a D-1 school I think.
Twice runner up to Taplin. Two time state champ. Very impressive. And, yes - Sutton-Kerns kept it very close on more than one occasion that HS season. Both awesome sports/competitors.

Lance Roe-Norton vs. Romero Cotton-Hutch. 2006. It was in the Semis of the Newton TOC, Roe wins in the 30 sec. Ride-out in a very action packed match. This was the last loss in Cotton's great career.

Re: Best HS match I have seen - 02/22/09 03:46 PM
Yeah, I wish i could have seen that one. That Roe was a take-down machine wasn't he? What placings did he have at the HS state tourney throughout his career?
Thanks.

Eric Leudke's senior year from Colby vs. Neil Erisman in his freshman year at DeSoto.
Erisman is up 1-0 going into the final 15 seconds and gets banged for a stalling call sending it into overtime. Leudke wins 3-1 in OT with a takedown, but the match was amazing. Still, THAT individual stalling call will forever be one of my largest questions to the ability for officials to remain unbiased during a match.
Still an unbelievable match... one for the books in KS history.

Re: Best HS match I have seen - 02/22/09 05:34 PM
Coach DeYoe, so in your opinion Erisman was not stalling? I'm just curious. I didn't see the match. Your sentence below is of interest to me - if you care to clarify it further:

amazing match! the whole coliseum was stopped for that one. people from everywhere were going crazy about the stalling call and then the takedown at towards the end of the ot period. absolutely sweetness.
whomever said bradley and bunch at kids state in the late 1990s, heck ya! still remember that match to this day, really sweet to watch as a 12 and under. both of them were SUPER quick.

In my opinion, which I will fully admit as to being biased, Erisman's original stalling warning was completely outrageous considering he was shooting the entire period that the warning was given. Leudke was a senior, and overpowered Neil. Neil could only shoot to not be driven out of bounds or pressed.
The stalling call that was given to send it into overtime, or the second call which cost a point, was completely legitimate. Neil got caught glancing over at the clock. In my estimation, that was the first time in the match that he had shown any signs of stalling.
Still, this is one of the best matches between two of the better wrestlers Kansas has ever produced that I have seen.
Temoer Terry v. Jacob Newby would be another match that I would put on this list as well. There are others I am sure I will think of at some point.

Appreciate the good clarification. Thank you. What grade was Erisman in? You mentioned that the other dude was a senior.

Best match I ever saw was Shawn Bammes from Manhattan against Brian Hill from Salina Central at the finals in the Junction City tournament in 1993 or 1994. I can't even remember who won, but it was more of a war than a match. As I recall, both wrestlers ended up with tape around their heads, a la Dan Gable. Multiple blood stoppages, lots of hard wrestling and a TON of action. Like I said, I can't remember who won but the images of those two battered and bruised will always remain with me. Hill was a 2X state champ and Bammes won 6A at 160 lbs. his senior year.

I think this topic is a pops up every year and I write the same thing every year.
Not a “Great Match”, a “Legendary Match” Douglas vs. Kohler in the finals of the Sunflower Classic. (Grand State format). Both 3 timers. Kohler wins. Douglas goes on to win Junior Nationals, 2 NCAA titles for Oklahoma University, The Tiblisi tournament in Georgia, and becomes a 2 time Olympian.

Re: Best HS match I have seen - 02/23/09 11:43 PM
Alson Isenberg bumped up to challenge Mitch Arnold. It was an exciting brawl - complete with all of the technical proficiency and athleticism you'd expect and/opr imagine.
You could'a heard a pin drop during this particular match.
It matters not who won. In my opinion, it was the fans - who won!
Thanks Isenberg. (as I recall,it was Isenberg who sought out Mitch Arnold and not visa-versa).
It was more than nine (9) minumtes of scintilating action. I can't even remember if it went into overtime.
I hated to see one of those guys loose.

An old time match, Lowery of Norton over Lampe from Colby in regional final, the next week it reversed and Lampe beat him. Then they went on to Iowa State and Oklahoma. Two pretty good ones there.
How bout Landun Richardson over Eric Akin in their senior years. Two awfully good wrestlers. Sorry Eric I just had to throw that one in. lol You know I couldn't resist.

i would have to say the greatest match i seen was in 1988 i believe or 87 a long time ago hard to remember. but it was at the beloit invite. kevin kadel of beloit vs. a wellington kid i believe for first and second. kevin is behind by three or four i believe, third peried on bottom with around thirty seconds left. he is hitting switches and stand ups right and left the wellington kid just riding him every time he gets a chance looks at the clock. with about 9 seconds left takes his left hand off of kevins left elbow and raises one finger in the air in victory when he does that kevin hits a gramby cradle to score two reversall and tree back to win the match as time ran out. will never forget that match.

Tell you another one that a lot of you that were at the first Grand State tourney will remember was Baker of Goodland and Simpson of Derby (two really fine wrestlers) in the semi's I think or maybe the quarters. Simpson hung a three quarter nelson on Baker and cranked for the entire period but didn't turn him. Baker's neck was about five inches longer I think when that period ended. After that gutsy save, Baker turned around and won the match in the third period and won the tourney after that. Those two were really really tough and it was a tremendously gutsy performance by both guys.

Do you remember the weight of this match? My bro was wrestling for Wellington during those years and though I'm sure it wasn't him, there are a couple wrestlers that come to mind. The best match I have ever seen involves the little bro. It was regionals in 89 at Rose Hill. It was Friday eve and he was the #5 seed wrestling the #4 seed. It was a close match with bro up by 2 or 3 points. Suddenly, there was an attempt at a throw and both wrestlers crashed to the mat with a resounding CRACK! Immediately, the refs jump in with both boys bleeding profusely. Bro from the mouth, other from the head. Can you guess? Bro's tooth was imbedded in his opponents forehead. You talk about a blood fest! After several attempts to finish the match, my bro was declared the winner based on points and his bleeding was contained and other kid couldn't get his stopped. Bro ended up having a double root canal the next morning at 6:00 am before his match, which he won and qualified for state. Thank God my mother wasn't there that night!

Bringing back some memories on this topic.
Was in the corner of the Luedke - Erisman match. At the time, I sure wasn't enjoying that match
Was also matside during the Jake Kreigbaum (Abilene) - Cole Garcia (Colby) regional finals match in 2004. Garcia (soph) throws Kreigbaum (sr) in a headlock in OT to win inside a packed and stunned gym in Abilene. Kriegbaum's first and only loss in 3 years. He did get revenge a week later.
Some of my personal favorites were the Butch Kerns (Plainville) vs Todd Plummer (Oakley) 1989 state final match and the Kory Lira (Ulysses) vs Earl Jones (Coffeyville) I think state semifinal match in 2003.
But will have to agree with Coach Williams and many others on the Strawn - Kern state finals match in 2006. That is the best HS match I have ever seen!

But will have to agree with Coach Williams and many others on the Strawn - Kern state finals match in 2006. That is the best HS match I have ever seen!
**Not just for the athleticism but also for their sportsmanship. They seemed like best friends during and after the match. Kern seemed to be smiling and having a blast. Amazing.

The best match I've ever seen was Brian Harris of Eudora and Matt Murray of Columbus I believe in the semifinals at state. Matt went on to win the match by one in over time. He later went on to wrestle to a 3rd place finish for Nebraska at the NCAAs. He said Brian was his toughest match of his life.

Has to be Louden Swain (Thompson High) vs Brian Shute (Hoover High) in 1985. What a match! You had desire, dedication and determination defeat a 3-time state champion with brute strength. A wrestler on a vision quest vs a wrestler who carried a sawed off telephone pole up and down stadium steps. And at the end of the day, did anyone else get to go home with Linda Fiorentino?
Just trying to lighten the moment for some of you who are stressed to the hilt about the high school state championships. Good luck to all of you on day two. Whether you win the title or go 2 and out, you should be proud.

Well the best match I saw this year was between Byron Roath (KCWashington) vs Pat Cervantes (Meige) at Miege in the 145 regional final. They met earlier in the year at 152 with Cervantes getting the win by majdec. When they met at the regional, Roath won 9 to 4 or something like that. Rode Cervantes like a horse turning him a few times.
