Great Matches at State

Topic ID: 8304 | 41 Posts

Just being a fan of the sport there were some great matches to watch this weekend. Congrats to all the wrestlers and coaches that made this weekend a great one. Congrats to all the individual state champions and to Campbell Co. What were your favorite matches of the weekend?

Three that stuck out to me - Trae Blackwell (Union Co.) over JJ Killebrew (Chistian Co.) Third time they have met and came down to the wire. Jayce Carr (Union Co.) over Justin Lampe (St. X) - Wow, Lampe had sixteen losses on the season (I think that's right), made the finals, and nearly won a state title. Another great match JJ Jude (JC) over Caleb Canter (Larue Co.) in the semis, back and forth the whole match. Thanks to all the wrestlers for a great show!

The Speed vs Franck hwt quarterfinals exciting match down to the wire.

Lampe only had three losses this year,two were to Carr and one when he bumped up in a duel.I dont know why he gave those stats he thinks that kind of stuff is funny.

I think one of my favorite matches was Franck (Campbell) vs. Speed (Graves) with Franck winning the match with one second left in the 3rd period.

I missed the Speed and Franck match but I have to say the 113 match was crazy to watch for me. JJ wrestled the match of his life and seemed like he was gonna pull it off until Trae hits that peterson. I was honestly more excited during that match then I was for the 130 match last year, which was incredible.

carr has won the past 2 state titles with the score being 6-4 in an incredible match

Jayce just likes being dramatic. I know I dont like it though. lol

Carr Lampe was good Either Myers vs |Jude would be fun they saw his ffotball highlights said he was amazing but still say they will light him up on the matt

Lampe is tough, came to wrestle. But Carr is solid and that inside trip to win it was dirty. Blackwell is very technical, as well as ervin. Yenter is toughest kid in state to takedown. Cooper is mean as heck..myers boys were impressive.. good state tournament overall. Excited for next year

I believe the other loss was to Tevon Clay- FC at State Duals. I agree, the Carr/Lampe match was exciting.

I think one of my favorite matches was Franck (Campbell) vs. Speed (Graves) with Franck winning the match with one second left in the 3rd period.

Did anyone else see the Graves coach fall out of his chair during the match? I don't know how it happened all I saw was him on his back and the chair falling over.

No I did not I was so happy Franck won that is the only thing I saw! I know there were other matches that were great but I can't remember any of them at the moment!

I was so happy as well. Thought it was lost but came back and got those 3 points in 15 seconds.

I saw so many good matches this weekend, the tournament was more competitive than i thought it would be.

106 Whalen (Hen Cl) v Austin (Chr Co)

113 Shirkey (Old Co) v Boone (Oh Co) I and II

160 Jarvis (Cen) v Hull (Lar Co)

170 Jude (John Cen) v Canter (Lar Co)

132 Thomas (PRP) v Agyeman (Fr Co)

132 Lampe (St X) v Carr (Unio)

170 Maupin (Fair) v Canter (Lar Co)

285 Franck (Cam Co) v Speed (Grant)

113 Killebrew (Chr Co) v Blackwell (Unio)

126 Ervin (Unio) v Ruschell (Ryle)

There are too many to list but i thought these were a few that stood out to me that i can remember off the top of my head!!!

shirkey v. killebrew was an excellent match.

113 Blackwell throwing the crunch at just the right time- 126 Brock going from being In a takedown position for most then turning it into a doubleleg for a takedown and 132 what an improvement Justin Lampe made since they wrestled at the holiday tourney at Mater Dei! I would also like to add and mind u I'm not a fan of Campbell county the Myers boys were lots of fun to watch! Definitely what i had expected! Talented young men and i also thought Paul Hamilton had really turned it up! In one season he went from good wrestler to the next level- that's my take on the state tourney anyhow!

That whole thing is the truth.

Best matches in this order for me.

Car vs Lampe

Killebrew vs Shirkey

Jude vs Canter

Blackwell vs Killebrew

Ervin vs Ruschell

Does anyone know if the Video of the finals is available anywhere?

Would like to watch some of the matches again!

Best takedown lampe on Carr single to leg kick to face planted on mat!! That was sick.

That was pretty good. It hurt me and I was 300 miles away!!!!

I think one of my favorite matches was Franck (Campbell) vs. Speed (Graves) with Franck winning the match with one second left in the 3rd period.

Haha the kid from Graves was throwing up the double ones like he won the match..... There was 30 sec left. I think he was celibrating a little early. Ha

I thought the match could have gone either way. In the first period Franck almost had the take down but they were called out of bounds then all the action happened in the last 30 seconds. It was a great match.

You can watch the match on YouTube.

Link?

Saw it. That trip was nasty! May have to start teaching that to some heavyweights down here. Wonder if he had been taught that or was desperate. Fantastic finish though.

Link?

That is the same double under, trip he hit the Trinity HWT with in the semis last year!

Great display of sportsmanship from the Graves hvy. But seriously, what's up with his two different colored pink socks?

Great trip.

I agree with the pink socks and his positioning on the trip has improved, must have a good HWT coach in the room.

Pink socks is a little weird. Did he get to wrestle with A. Myers any? I bet that helped too.

The pink stuff seems to be an ill thing the ill sons of thunder club team always wore pink ,just a hunch perhaps it's a distraction ploy ie boxers fring

Wish Frank was not a sr A will have to battle S a lot again CC has some decent bigger Fresh A has a lot of friends to go with he has quite an array of athletes from various sports he trains with , plans on checking out the Ascend club in Louisville along with his buddies he has some 8th grade friends that are monsters . And CC seems to have a cool hvy coach and some x coaches that roll with Austin who can handle him .....for a now ....!

Now I'm confused...Pink socks is Speed from Graves not Frank from Camp Co.

He wore the pink socks in tribute of his grandmother who has breast cancer I believe.

Well then glad he wore those socks!

HWT's finally getting the love! Oh happy day! :D

Amen.
