Brook Medrano. Placed all four years but never won it. Didn't hurt he met up with Roberson in the semi's his freshman soph. and junior year.

I will go with Derek Roles. Stats, I don't remember, I know he took second against a kid I recall from south his junior year.(Good Match by the way), Senior year, I think his weight class was pretty stacked, not sure( I didn't follow 6A back then), but I picked him because he was easily better than some kids that I had seen with state titles, and he also battled injuries his whole career as a starting quarterback when Derby was actually still pretty good.

I would agree with you about Glick. I wrestled him like 4-5 times throught junior high and high school. He was tough as an 8th grader. I do remember him "slamming" shipley, I though it was questionable at the time. Shipley went on to the win the championship match as well. Glick did like to cut a lot of weight though. I do agree, he was a good non state champion.

Coach twink,
Where are you from, I wrestled 135 that year as well. I wrestled stoppel in a dual, it ended up to be like 12-10 match something like that. Me and him whent back and forth in that match.

I agree With with Coach Twink two of the Best Wrestlers I ever faces were Bryce Glick and Brett Marsteller And I pinned Brett at the regional finals which he did have a fairly serious should injury so somewhat easy to turn him. Bryce Glick was a monster Wrested him twice my senior year once in colby which he one 10 to 7 and in the state semi which I won 7-2. Coach twink is correct the semi match was very bizarre what little I remeber.

Ronnie Shipley

Shipley are you keeping track of these concussions? With the wrestling plus messing with the Kosters you have to be approaching the limit!

I tell you what I really wish I would have started keeping track back when I was a junior and Andy Nolan from St. Francis delivered the first of Many.

Josh Stahl -P-ville for never placing. Good technical wrestler but ran into some bad luck at State. He was lots better than his brother, Chunk, who did place.

they wrestled in 2 totally different weight classes. Jason was a heavyweight weighing jst over 200 lbs. his natural weight class would of been 215 but a aa by the name of staab was at that weight class. And josh was right in the thick of 3 state tournaments his outside carry was truly very slick.

nick is attending pitt state, and coaching the pittsburg wrestling club.

I must say that my cousin Bryce Glick was a tough kid that I always thought would win and surprised when he didn't. He could be a scary older cuz, I will never forget the time I messed up his bedroom and left hotwheels everywhere.

The best non state champ I watched was Johnathan Gohanahour of Prairie view who lost to Wes Reynolds in 1999 in the finals. I also think he got 3rd 1998 and a 4th(?) in 1997

Bryce Bahe - Goodland took - 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd

I would have to say Brandon Pfeifer of Ellis, 3x runner up pretty salty. Also Brandon Terry of Plainville was a beast. I wrestled with him at Kearney for one year and he beat me down every single day.

I think Marvio Tischhauser would be worth noting, misses his freshman and junior year due to knee injuries, places his sophomore year (can't remember what place). And comes up short in the finals losing by a point or two to Sam Thoman.

i think C.J. Napier qualifies

Paul Schnackenberg was a heckuva wrestler back in 1979-1982, never winning the title although his team did.

Judd Schroeder 4 time placer.

Brian still gets my vote.

Ah, didn't CJ win THREE state titles? The thread is about best NON state champ.

Gonna go way back to the early 80's but Teryl Slansky from Stockton was I believe a 4 time runner up (3 for sure). Not just that but also was also a runner-up as many times in league and Regionals, all to the same wrestler, Larry Grieve from Osborne. Not sure Slansky every won a tournament but finished 2nd at nearly every one all through high school to the same wrestler. Got to be a little frustrating.
