i think a true rivarly is one that every one in the state wants to see, just can't wait to find the outcome. a match that decides champions from runner ups. a match when it is going on every one there is in awe, and no matter what else is going on everyone stops what they are doing and just watches. i think the best pair to describe this is pyle and drennan last year at the 3-2-1a state tourny when those two stepped on the mat every turned their heads to watch, and i will bet almost anything it will happen again this year, now that is a rivavrly

-I think that is the definition of the Cox/Jennings rivalry as well.

and again, cox has never won, but it is a good match-up

You have an interesting definition of a rivalry. I have always thought your rival is the one team or person that you want to beat sooooo bad. Someone that you think about, study, focus on, and are passionate about beating!!!!!

well fanatic, evening using your def. of rivarly i think that def. describes drennan and pyle last year, as drennan stated in newpapers that he was waiting for that match all year. and once again he stated in the salina journal that he wanted to prove last year was no upset. so whatever def. you go by mine or yours drennan and pyle seem to have One of the biggest rivarlies in the state. but there is a heck lot more out their.

By that definition of rivalry, I would have to say I saw a good one in Luke Mexler(sorry luke, my spelling is of I'm sure) and Sharbano. When they met at the Newton finals, it was an incredible match.

You murdered the spelling of Metzler, but you were even farther off on Charbonneau.

yes, you are very correct. sorry about that. dispite my spelling, it was still a good match

you were even FURTHER, from FURTHER.

I have to agree with Pyle and Drennen. I wrestled Pyle and have wrestled in the same tournament as drennen and they are, in my opinion, two of the most talented wrestlers in the state. A good old rivalry was between Devoe and charbaneu. They meet 3 times in the semifinals of the state tournment and, in my opinion, Charbaneu would have been a four time state champ if Devoe hadn't have beet him in three great matches.

I know this is gonna make me sound old (I am 29) but I remember back in the late 80's early 90's when Eric Aiken from Bishop Miege and Landon Richardson from Schlague used to talk about each other publicly and then have to face each other in the finals at pretty much every tournament that they went to. Those guys hated each other for real. I think it was because Richardson was either the only or one of the only guys that could beat Aiken soundly and would let him know it.

Yes, that was a good one but I hardly call Devoe and Charbanue's last match a great one, Devoe stuck him real quick.
I was glad to see Charbaneu finally get a state title last year because he was very deserving of one.

I was Landunn Richardson's coach and a very good friend of Erik Aiken. They didn't hate each other at all in fact they were good freinds and wrestled in the same club in the off season. Neither one of them said anything to my knowledge publically or any place else about beating each other. They were both great wrestlers but met only twice in their life. Landun beat Erik 10-4 in the finals of our tourney and later that year Erik beat Landun 10-0 in a freestyle match that summer. This was the only time they actually met up on a mat other than practice. I would like to emphasize that the really best thing about their rivalry if you want to call it that is that they both had a lot of respect for each other.
