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.)
Munoz also won the title at 130. One thing you're forgetting, though, is that Garcia was upset in the semifinals. If he would have won that match, and gone on to beat baldridge just as he did a week before, it wouldn't have even come to hemmerling's match.
