... and The Anvil for at least another year after that, probably longer with a likely Greco Olympic shirt.
Really? I thought that I heard here that Hidlay was better than Wittlake???
Wrong board. Though I wonder if they'll throw him to the wolves (as in, NC State with his brother) after that loss.Really? I thought that I heard here that Hidlay was better than Wittlake???
... when he'll transfer to Rutgers ...seems like you should be the board's source on what colleges he's looking at, his top 5, etc.
What he said the kid is just a lot of fun to watch will be pulling for him unless he ends up at Ohio State. Same goes for David Carr. Any word in where Carr is looking?
Waynesboro did produce Kurt Bowman in the mid 80's. State championship in 85 at 155, runner-up in 84 at 145 (lost to Sean Finkbeiner) and runner-up in 83 at 138 (lost to Sean Smith of Dover).
With His dad and Kevin Dresser in the mix Iowa State could be a front runner. I hope so. Do not want him as a perennial threat for Ohio. As he fills out he looks a little too much like an Ed Ruth.
Not a member of the Bowman family or Kurt. I actually wrestled in the same Christmas tournament in 1983 for another District 3 team, same weight class. He of course won it, I placed third, we did not wrestle each other. Bowman was very explosive.
, I think they tried bringing him up to the HS Varsity when he was in 8th or 9th grade. The high school was 10th through 12th then, with two Junior Highs. It was a home match, he lost, and afterwards he jetted into the stands for a big cry with his parents. My normally respectful grandfather teased us for a year about that: 'don't you go out there like Kurt Bowman' and such sh*t. Kurt of course shut him up in 10th grade, making it to the finals.
Awesome! Yeah, growing up as the youngest in that family, he was destined to be tough. Although, if memory serves (and it very well not
I remember both those Seans who beat him. Did you ever wrestle either of them?
My junior year I was on JV at 145 behind an eventual state place winner. Our 138 pounder was injured who would go on to be a state qualifier, my coach asked me to move down to 138 to wrestle Shaun Smith and Gene Gobrecht in our next two matches. Smith won the 83 AAA state championship at 138, Gobrecht of South Western was the 83 state runner up at 138 (talk about a week). I declined the opportunity, largely due to the coaches plan was to have me then drop to 132. I was wrestling JV 145 at a little under my walking around weight after wrestling varsity at 119 the previous year. I decided to focus on academics my junior year since my grades always nose dived when I cut a lot of weight (got into PSU, so that worked out).Awesome!

In the early 80's it was a Dover/Dallastown playground. Dover had a long winning streak and was loaded with state place winners/qualifiers in 83 and 84 time frame. Throw-in Southwestern and Susquehannock on the AA side, tough league for a few years.
Ha!! Caught my eye...Southwestern graduate here. Way before the best wrestler ever seen in those parts (Joey Wildasin).
Remember Joey well, little brother tangled with him in sectional finals, wasn't pretty, alltime record for blood time (back in the days when blood time was unlimited). I went to Susquehannock, early 80's was a good period for wrestling in York County.
1st round losers were definitely done at that time. Interestingly Smith wrestled the post season with a torn ACL and his father passed away very late in the season.
