Best wrestler to never win a TN state title

[YOUTHCOACH16]

Judging from their regular season performance and how they ended up at the big dance, sure.

 

Hey let's consider a few of these guys like,,, Cael Sanderson? Dan Gable? Jordan Burroughs ? Perhaps John Smith? How bout Kyle Dake or even Rulon Gardener? I don't think any of them got one...

Cael Sanderson was a 4 time state champ. Gable was undefeated winning three state titles. John Smith was a 2 time champion. Dake 2 time champ. Burroughs 1 x champ. Gardner was a 1x champ

Just a slight bit of kidding here... Look closely at the title of this thread ðŸ˜

Patrick dooley won state but John Grant was a real stud. I remember when he fell short 3 years in a row! he really deserved that title

Correction: Patrick Dooley never won a state title but fell short in OT last year to Bam Bam Feurbacher at 160.

Correction, Patrick Dooley beat Robin Klingensmith from Ravenwood in the 160 finals 9-6. Bam Bam, or Josh Fuerbacher, got 4th at 138. Edited October 29, 2014 by WrestlingGod

Back in 1975 there was a guy at Science Hill named Mike Kuziola.  Went on to wrestle at MTSU for 4 years. Lost to a guy named Al Brown really close in State Finals - then crushed him that summer at an AAU meet in Chattanooga.

These guys got psyched out our something, like Bobby Hale, they'd beat anyone anywhere during the regular season and have aanear perfect record and then state would come. Pinning guys too fast all season can leave toy with alimited gas tank fire the big dance and that was the case for Bond David fire sure with his domination during regular season... 3x finalist, No official Gold, although technically the score table/refs messed up. Third stall call in OT, NO POINT
