Bored out of my mind right now and was thinking about some of my all time favorite matches. I thought I would post a few, hopefully you enjoy and feel free to post some of your favorites too. Marty, I need you here, hope you’re doing well Down there.

Johny Hendricks vs. Mark Perry
-Hendricks was a bad man and Mark Perry had the pedigree. This was a dog fight right up until the end.

Cary Kolat vs. Mark Ironside
-I know this is the cliche choice but the hype surrounding this match was insane. Kolat was killing guys and Ironside was the epitome of Iowa style wrestling.

Darrion Caldwell vs. Brent Metcalf
-I think this would be scored way differently now than it was at the time. Back exposure, backing out of bounds, etc. obviously the end is what this match is all about. Can’t say I blame Metcalf at all.

Bubba Jenkins vs. David Taylor
-Bubba leaves Penn State under controversy after David Taylor comes in and looks primed to take the starting spot. Wrestling partners David’s freshman to meeting in the finals of NCAA’s the following year. This match was an instant classic.

Kyle Snyder vs Gwiz
-Not only a great heavyweight match, one of the more action packed finals matches in the tournament that year. Kyle Snyder also came out of redshirt midway through the year so he didn’t even have a ton of folk style matches under his belt when they wrestled (and he was undersized)

Throw some back at me, I’ve got nothing but time on my hands.....

I have a tie between Sirrell Gissendaner vs. Mitch Clark and Antonucci vs. Bouzakis. Both matches were super exciting and I just can't pick one. Two Section 5 guys who really rose to the occasion when it counted most.

No doubt Sirrell vs Clark as well as Antonucci giving Bouzakis his first loss for sure. For me personally, it was way back in 1976 when Robin Parker of Caledonia met Mike Picozzi of Huntington. Picozzi had pinned Parker earlier that year @ the Spencerport xmas tournament. They met in the finals that year and it was 4 and a half minutes of pure insanity...Never even made it to the 5 minute mark and the score was already 18-16 w/ Picozzi in the lead. This until Robin hit him w/ a standing cradle to a pin....The place went absolutely crazy!!!!! Won OW w/ his four for 4 pins that weekend!!! Greatest finals match ever!! I wish it was on film somewhere like the other years!!!! It was truly something to see!

Was there in person. At the time I thought they should have made Antonucci do more with the crab ride, but as I watched it over the years, I changed my mind. It appeared he broke Bouzakis. Great match.

Paddock Dake was amazing and one of my favorites. Seeing it in person at the time did not surprise me in terms of Ian coming out on top. That cradle for the breathing room ...BOOM! What impressed me was the tear Dake went on after that loss in the immediate post-season winning senior nationals with Paccock,Silvestri, and Grahales in the field, then going on to win an NCAA title a year later. That loss to Ian did something to him, and it was an honor to have been there to see it in person.

Joe Patrovich / Islip vs Eddie Gomez / Freeport ...semis was AMAZING.

On Mike Picozzi... I think he scored the most points ever in a NYS Tourney prior to Tech Falls ( ??). Mike was a scoring machine....never a monster pinner, Though, he should have won that match..lol.

................

coachlaz, The amazing thing about Dake. He won Senior Nationals...the next week he went and finished 3rd or 4th in Greco beating Josh Kindig / PA (??)

.....this is when I was BOASTING to FLO wrestling in Austin , TX about the NY KID named "DAKE" ...when they were talking about David Taylor as the best thing since Bruno Sammartino ..lol.

BTW. Antonucci/ Bousakis....two very gifted..technically tough wrestlers. LOOKS LIKE COLLEGE D1 TODAY ...(maybe better..lol )
