Yeah, MancerL. I believe they had an upset victory in the middle weights, but no one was really worried about it because Bananafingers McCantbendhisknees was kind of a no-name to us. (In fact, he had been teched by our 171 a year or two before.) And of course---he was wrestling 2x state champ and eventual nationals bronze medal winner Josh Carrol. No big deal. Title's locked up.

Until, like Red says, the crappy moons aligned to take a grumpy all over Hat Town's state title. Big ups to McCantbendhisknees. He wrestled like the ma-ohniest of ma-ohns. But still, it broke Prant's little heart.

Oh, and Josh Carrol beat us in the state title game in football that year. His stellar play on the D line rendered our offense virtually non-existent. So it's not like he's responsible for us losing TWO state titles or anything.

I'm not bitter.

(If any of you can offer counseling, I think I need it.)
