ac dog, if you had a 2nd team would you put Eddie Boyer (sp) on it, that dude was a bad man!!

Very hard to put together a team for Hoxie since almost all the state champs were under the 150 pound weight class so here is a web sight to all of Hoxie's state champs.
http://www.hoxie.org/HOXIE0506/state_champions.htm

I'd like to put together my choices for Wichita West all time best. Jeff Watkins has some good choices. Some I agree on some I don't. I might add all the state champions for Wichita West (since 1989) with the exception of Don Boone did wrestle with the Team of Hard Knox before they won their title. Couple of changes Charles KnoxJr. because he was an All American while in high school at 103 Bryant Richard 3x placier 1x st champ at 112 B. L. Chadwick 4x placier at 152

Tristen Deshazer could have any of the spots between 103 and 130 with the exception of 125 which belongs to his Dad (Danny) Tristen stuff looks like this All American 3x state champ.

Here is my best attempt at SFT.

103 Travis Phippen State Champion and 3rd 2X College All American
112 Brett Cairns State Champion
119 Jeremy Long 4X State Champion
125 Travis McBurney 2nd and 5th
130 Josh Bessette State Champion and 4th
135 Kirk Wiscombe 2nd
140 Sam Wallis 2nd
145 Travis Eden 3X State Placer
152 John Blosser 2X State Champion and 3rd, Cadet All American
160 Justin Wiscombe State Champion 3rd and 6th
171 Shaun Moore State Champion and 2nd
189 Brian Bogren 3rd and 5th
215
HWT Dean Turner 3rd

BTW I stand corrected Scott Goodale did win a title at 103 in 1990. My apologies.

The only addition, or change, I would make to the South roster is that I would include Tim Elliot and Mark Richards.

Jared Byrne was a great wrestler, but he only took 3rd place at state, so I would probably omit his name: no disrespect intended.

Back to the question about the Tristen And Danny Grater match. I have no idea. Tristen is so long and lanky, and dangerous to throw you in a headlock at anytime. That is why it is so fun to watch him. But I never really have had the pleasure to watch Danny Grater that much,,,,,, so you guys tell me who would win>?

a tristen and danny grater match? who asked a question on that?

you mean Danny Deshazer...his dad...not Danny Grater...and last I remember Danny (having the old man strength)...whips up on us youngins

Freshmen and sophomore wrestlers, wrestling for a kids program during sub-district, district, and state, doesn't really count as an affiliation with a kid's program.

I wrestled for the South kids program in 1998 as a sophomore, and I wrestled in sub-district, district, and state. However, I think I only attended 2 or 3 South High kids practices. So I wouldn't consider the South High kids program as a significant influence on my wrestling background.

Kids programs really only benefit wrestlers that participate in them all year long. So, high school wrestlers, who have never wrestled before high school, gain the majority of their training in the high school wrestling practice and at high school tournaments.

Several of the guys mentioned were wrestlers before high school for team of hard knox.

Chenoweth - You think you know but you have no idea. You had to have been 6 and under to remember these studs. lol.

Mr. Phippin,

Scotty Goodale, wrestled and won the title in 1990 at 103! I did say the list was a quick list and couldn't remember what weight he wrestled but the past state champions on this site listed as follows... I should remember since I was another finalist for this year (actually the only finalist NOT to win - hence, why I can't remember what weight scotty was)

1990 - (5A) Goodale, Scott [Arkansas City] (103 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Pelnar, Tony [McPherson] (112 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Ware, Justin [Arkansas City] (119 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Curl, Chad [McPherson] (125 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Ross, Andy [Blue Valley Stilwell] (130 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Schmidt, Kurt [Kapaun Mount Carmel] (135 lb. )1990 - (5A) Sickman, Jeff [Bonner Springs] (140 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Fowler, Michael [Liberal] (145 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Beeson, Chad [Arkansas City] (152 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Hodges, Aaron [Harmon] (160 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Hernandez, Chris [Arkansas City] (171 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Calder, Chris [Arkansas City] (189 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Gray, Nick [Pittsburg] (275 lb. )
1990 - (5A) Arkansas City [Arkansas City]

And to Old Fan - as I said the list I put together was a quick list and you are right Eddie Boyer is definitely on the 2nd list and probably should go on the first list!

I actually do remember some of them. And the some of the others are on the back of a couple of tshirts I have. I do know a little.

Here's a list for Washburn Rural, ranging from the mid-1980s when Ray Glaze was running things up until present day:

103 - Justin Morrison (1st at 98 in 1988, 2nd at 112 in 1989, 2nd at 130 in 1990)
112 - James Walker (2nd at 112 in 1985, 2nd at 145 in 1987)
119 - Chris Aguilera (4th at 119 in 1997, 3rd at 119 in 1998)
125 - Scott Murray (3rd at 103 in 1989, 1st at 112 in 1990, 3rd at 119 in 1991, 1st at 125 in 1992)
130 - Travis Schell (6th at 130 in 1997)
135 - Bobby Glaze (4th at 132 in 1985)
140 - David Peter (3rd at 112 in 1988, 4th at 125 in 1989, 1st at 140 in 1990)
145 - Lance Doyal (6th at 145 in 1997, 5th at 145 in 1998)
152 - Bobby Bovaird (6th at 152 in 1997, 4th at 152 in 1998)
160 - Pat Malone (two-time state qualifier in 1996 and 1997)
171 - Dave Ehret (5th at 171 in 2003, 1st at 189 in 2004)
189 - Shawn Steinlage (4th at 189 in 1990)
215 - Dustin Allison (3rd at 215 in 1997)
275 - Dusty Gish (5th at 275 in 1996)

anybody remember John Richey from West High?

That kid could break into a house by just slipping through a door crack. He was like 6 ft. tall and wrestled 103 lbs.....insane.....not to mention unhealthy.

Alright... after MUCH thought I've decided to make an attempt at this. I'm sure I've missed some GREAT wrestlers, but when you are dealing with a program like Hoxie's there are a lot of quality wrestlers to consider. Here's the team I'd put on the mat:


103- Steve Pope (4th '71, 1st '72, 1st '73, 1st '74)
112 - Mike Sample (4th '85, 1st '86, 1st '87)
119 - Wayne Shepard (1st '56, 1st '57, 1st, '58)
125 - Peter Koster (2nd '94, 1st '95, 3rd '96, 4th '97)
130 - Lance Shepard (1st '87, 1st '88)
135 - Travis Baker (1st '96, 2nd '97, 3rd '98, 1st '99)
140 - Mat Gilliland (1st '01, 1st '02, 1st '03, 1st '04)
145 - Troy Reitcheck (4th '91, 4th '92, 2nd '93)
152 - Adam Koster (3rd '96, 2nd '97, 3rd '98, 1st '99)
160 - Mike Gilliland (1st '83, 1st '84)
171 - Les Brown (4th '86, 1st '87, 3rd '88)
189 - David Schippers (1st '76)
215 - Kurt Sulzman (4th '90, 4th '91)

how about a garden city list anyone?

Oops... I missed a weight. Bump Kurt Sulzman up to 275 and put Albert Popp (4th '91, 1st '92) at 215.
