Yeah, I wasn't sure about his weight. I've seen him before and hes a big guy. I thought maybe he wrestled heavyweight.

Hey Westfahl

Do you remember the night in the GC Invite that JD wrestled a GC Kid named Flurry Kemper? JD was THE senior of Kansas and Flurry was a sophomore (a VERY strong sophomore--but a sophomore nevertheless). Us JH wrestlers in attendance had alreday written Flurry off as pin meat for JD. Well this was in the days before Tech Falls and JD did everything to Flurry but could not pin him. Pretty soon the whole gym was watching the match and pulling for Flurry to stay off his back--which he did. When the match was over, JD raised Flurry's hand after the ref had raised his. A class move that I will remember forever.

I would agree with that fact that boyle is the best heavyweight, but the best heavy weight to never win state would have to be Parks from mpls. He lost to boyle in the state finals his senior year. He would have won state and 4-5-and 6 A. Parks is under-rated just because he never won the title, but he is at least in the top 10 in KS

Actually, A.J. Polansky from Manhattan was the 6a champ in 1997 and runner up in 1998, and he beat Parks rather easily.

Boyle's record his senior year was 28-0 with 28 pins, i think 28 takedowns and went a total of 29 periods.

I have actually been run over by J.D. and I am glad to say he is a good friend of mine. J.D. if you are reading this I didn't say anything bad about you lol. I did not remember that match but do remember Flurry well. J.D. was named appropriately when he got Armstrong. I never saw an athlete that strong in my life and I have seen a few of them in my time. He was a 500 pound bencher in college and fortunately never held ill will on anyone that I know of; a very good guy and one of the great athletes in Kansas history.

lol I just got a call from an old teammate that told me to wake up because he thought I was wrestling a kid from Ulysses on the other mat when J.D. did that to Kemper. I don't remember that but it could be, if so, I was too busy to watch him lol.
