Ok I was bored, i started wondering who the all times greates would be per wt. class. I thought it would be easier to find the region all time greats first. 

This it the weight classes by year (I know.  I'm a nerd)

                                                                  Weight classes by year

1964-68   1969        1970     ^1971-87     1988-94  1995     1996-2001  *2002-11  2012---

                                                                                                Hwt          Hwt          Hwt

So as not to have two wt. classes from a single year represented. I came up with these wt. Classes for this poll. 

1.  (95-100)

2.  (103-107)

3.  (112-115)

4.  (119-123)

5.  (125-127)

6.  (130-134)

7.  (135-138)

8.  (140-142)

9.  (145-151)

10 (152-155)

11. (160-167)

12. (170-180)

13.  (182-189)

14.  (215-195)

15.  (220-Hwt) (Until 1988 max in Hwt was 250lbs)

Who do you nominate?  We can use the current regional alignment.  Since I'm a NKY weirdo we will use this one for region 6. 

I will start it off with my first two. 

#9 wt class (Robbie Clarkston) Conner 4 timer last title at 145

#15 wt Class (Austin Myer) Campbell Co. 4 timer 220.

I would have to agree that Austin Myers is number one since he won 4 regional titles at 220. People feared him. I wouldn’t have wanted to wrestle him. 

Region 6 has historically been the toughest region in the state. We have had some dominant kids that come out of region 6. I will only speak on the last 10 years. 

Garth yenter, Sean Fausz, Clay Brown, Kevin Cooper and Casey Cornett come to mind. They all have multiple state titles and we’re fortunate enough wrestle D1 in college.  Casey and Fausz have multiple placements at National Events  

The next group from region 6 in my opinion is Tanner Yenter, Brady Wells, Ryan Moore, and Mason Smith.  

As far as the success outside of the state from region 6 it has to go to Austin Myers 3x NHSCA champ, NHSCA runner up, Flo Champ, multiple Fargo AA’s. 

Ryan Moore would be a close 2nd. 4x NHSCA placer, 3x Flo Placer, Fargo AA. 

Call me homer but I will throw Mason’s name out there for success outside the state. 2x NHSCA finalist, Flo Nationals AA, Cliff Keen preseason nations AA. 

I would love to hear some more names. I can tell you all these guys were fun to watch but my family goes way back to the 80’s as far as following wrestling. I have a brother that is 8 years older and I grew up with all the tough wrestlers from Conner in the 80’s. They would all hangout at my house and I thought they were tough as they come. So for any old timers I’m sure you all remember Todd and Troy Cole, Jay Hargis, and the rest of the beast from Conner. I still joke with Troy that this generation of wrestlers would have kicked their butts. 

Early 80's Conner and Boone battled.  (Boone) Joe Archer, Mike McDaniels, Kevin Robb, Andy Mulcahy. Strawn Nutter. (Conner) Robbie Clarkston, Kelly Stickrod, Todd Cole, Troy Cole, Jeff Lawrence, Matt Shotwell.  

Late 80's became a battleground between Conner, Campbell, and Simon Kenton. (Conner) John Wyan, Rob Madden, Pat Martz, Craig Burtleson,(Campbell) Matt Shearer with a strong overall team not many super standouts. (Simon) Jamie Baugh, David Fuehner, David Barns, With other solid kids on the team. 

All these names need considering.  Mostly Strawn Nutter, Robbie Clarkston, Troy Cole, John Wyan, Pat Martz, David Barns. (no particular order). 

I thought of a few more names that were dominate in Region 6.

Mike and Matt Lee.  They were wrestling varsity at an early age for a very tough Simon Kenton team.

Logan Erdman was one of the most talented wrestlers I have ever seen.  Man I loved watching him wrestle.

The Ryle guys with at least 3 regional championships.

Jordan Blackmore 99, 00, 01  119-135

Kyle Ruschell 02,03,04,05 103-119

Bryan Peace 04,05,06,07,08 112-140

Mason Reid 06,07,08 171

Austin Palmer 08,09 didn't win the region in 10 but won state. 103-130

Connor Coyle 09,10,11 160

TJ Ruschell 09,10,11,12 103-126

Mark Hall just because I can 2010  119

Logan Erdman 12,14,15 106-126

Johnny Meiman 13,14,15 160-170

Not sure of years but Frank Wolnitzek for heavy from Holmes

Frank was during my time. I remember the talk was always frank vs Dion Washington.  I believe frank beat him twice. Frank was probably giving up 50lbs to most heavies, but was to fast for most of them.

Frank Graduated in 2003 so his title years would be 2002 and 2003

I think you might be 10 years off. 

I think his eligibility had expired by 2002. lol.  He won in 1992 and 1993. 

I was feeling old. 

Sorry Guys I meant 1993 its been a long week.
