TSSAA Individual State Discussion

[FargoStrut]

Personally, I thought there were 2 obvious choices for OW in D1-AA, 1) Desselle and 2) Brenot in no particular order. No gripes here with giving it to the senior in this case. Both guys dominated the competition in their respective weight classes.

Any mention of who actually voted?

i’m always curious as to who votes. i know coaches get a vote (atleast that’s what i’ve been told) but what it the actual criteria? I would love for them to release a breakdown of votes like college and pro sports do with their major awards.

I know im a little bit biased on this, but Desselle absolutely walked through that entire bracket. He was three levels ahead of everybody else. 

and with only 1 knee. I didn’t expect him to have any trouble with that bracket, i knew he was far ahead of the rest of the field, but doing it basically on one leg shows just HOW far ahead of the field he was. He already had my respect and admiration, but even if he didn’t, he would absolutely have it now.

With Brad commenting right above me I have to brag on his kid a little....sorry buddy

 

Landon tore his acl thanksgiving. That's the beginning of the season. The doctor basically told him "you've done as much damage as you can do and won't do any more damage to the acl. So you can go, but it will be EXTREMELY painful". He didn't just win a state title on one leg, he medaled at Beast of the East, Knockout Classic, ran through the Drennan Classic and didnt miss a single dual for that Summit squad.....on one leg, while in more pain than I can fathom. I wrestled, my whole family wrestled, most of my friends wrestled, and i STILL cannot imagine what Landon went through. I've been high on him all year and may have talked about him a bit too much on here, but that's why. What he did this year is absolutely incredible. 

 

Landon Desselle, on two healthy legs, will be a monster next season.
