Joey, great job all week, you have been a great kid to watch and be around best of luck to you and thanks again for putting us on the map.

Congrats to Mr. Young, lost a close one in the semis 7-5, impressive state tournament. He has my vote for Southeast wrestler of the year, what-do-you-all-think? Seems to be deserving of it to me.

Good job

What about State Champ Drew Carpenter from Sheridan. I know what you are going to say about location, but they are in the Southeast Sectional and recognized by the SEOWCA.

Oops. For got about Sheridan getting their first State Champ. Mr. Carpenter makes him Number #4, in Southeast wrestling history. 1st two were Matt Yinger (Nelsonville-York) & Heath Eddleblutte (Warren) in 89', Matt McCoy (Warren) 90' and now Carpenter (Sheridan) 10'. It has been a long dry spell. So I must bow the the man from Sheridan. Carpenter, then Young, both deserving young men and a pleasure to watch on the mat. Thanks Schenk11.

Don't forget Eric Chevalier from Belpre. State champ in '96. Belpre has had two Runner ups as well. Coach Scott Adams and Scott Gilbert. Gilbert lost 9-8 in 1995, but Adams unfortunately got Mark Zimmer (4-time state champ).

Ivan Parrish from Caldwell was 2x State Champ (Undefeated)
Mitch Landers from Caldwell was a state Champ as well.

We have had several runner-ups:
Mark Parrish
Craig Ferguson
Mitch Landers Jr. Year Lost on criteria
Justin Seebach
Derick Hesson

I know we are probably considered East but we do wrestle in the SE. We are 20 miles from Marietta.

Yes Congrats to Drew a great kid it has been a long dry spell. If we don't get another here at Nelsonville-York soon I am going to loose my mind. lol

actually carpenter is the 8th (caldwell is considered east not southeast)
