200 wins club: Meet the biggest winners in Iowa high school boys wrestling history
EIGHT SPORTS POWERED BY CARL AUTO GROUP. OH, WHAT A NIGHT. SATURDAY NIGHT WERE THE NIGHT. DREAMS WERE REALIZED. WE CROWNED STATE CHAMPIONS IN BOYS WRESTLING. ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS OF THE YEAR LIVED UP TO THE HYPE. THE EVENING BEGINS WITH THE ICONIC GRAND MARCH. ONE OF THE BEST TRADITIONS IN SPORTS. FROM THERE, THOUGH, IT’S TIME FOR BUSINESS TIME TO WRESTLE IN CLASS THREE, A 106 NICO DISALVO FROM SOUTHEAST POLK DOMINATED A TAKEDOWN RIGHT HERE. THE FRESHMAN GOES ON TO WIN IT 13 TO NOTHING. HE’S AIMING TO BE A FOUR TIMER. NOW I’M ONE FOURTH OF THE WAY TO FOUR TIMES. SO THAT’S THE EXPECTATION IN CLASS 3A1 13 NORWALK TYLER HARPER WAS SUPERB. A NEAR FALL HERE AGAINST ONE SEED ANTONIO PIERCE FROM IOWA CITY WEST. HE WOULD DOMINATE ALL HARPER. HE WINS 10 TO 4. HE WAS FULL OF CONFIDENCE I TELL MYSELF I’M THE BEST AT LEAST 15 TIMES BEFORE EVERY MATCH. A COUPLE OF CENTRAL IOWA WINNERS IN THE 120 POUND WEIGHT CLASS IN CLASS THREE A, IT’S CARTER PIERSON FROM SOUTHEAST POLK, CONTINUING THE RAMS GREAT WEEK, A LOW SCORING VICTORY ONE TO NOTHING EARNS PIERSON THE TITLE IN CLASS TWO. A GABE SPURGEON FROM EDDYVILLE-BLAKESBURG-FREMONT FINISHED HIS THE CINDERELLA RUN. THE EIGHTH SEEDED FRESHMAN GETS THE REVERSAL HERE. HE WINS SIX TO NOTHING. YEAH, I’M JUST GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS OFF, MAYBE, AND THEN GET RIGHT BACK TO THE ROOM AND WORK ON IT FOR NEXT SEASON. WEBSTER CITY’S CARSON DOOLITTLE IN CLASS TWO, A 126 HAS LOST EACH OF THE LAST THREE YEARS IN THE STATE SEMIFINALS. THIS YEAR. HE GETS OVER THE HUMP. AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO DO IT THAN A SUDDEN VICTORY TAKEDOWN? THEN HE WINS 3 TO 1 THIS YEAR. MY LAST YEAR I KNEW I HAD TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT SO I CAME IN AND I WAS PREPARED TO WIN IT IN CLASS TWO, A 132 ROLLING STORIES CADE BLUM JUST DOMINATED A TAKEDOWN HERE IN THE FINAL PERIOD. WAS THE DAGGER. HE’S A STATE CHAMP AGAIN, WINNING 10 TO 3. THE STUNNER OF THE NIGHT. CLASS 3A1 38 WAUKEE NORTHWEST CARTER FREEMAN LOOKING TO BECOME A FOUR TIME CHAMPION, BUT FORT DODGE’S COY DAVIDSON STANDS IN THE WAY THIS THING WENT TO OVERTIME. AND IN IT, DAVIDSON THE TAKEDOWN EARNS HIM THE SUDDEN VICTORY AS HE STUNS THE WRESTLING WORLD. IT WAS ALL MY MIND. I KEPT. I KEPT A STRONG MIND. I BELIEVED IN MY OWN ABILITY AND I GOT THE JOB DONE. WE DIDN’T GET OUR NEXT WINNER UNTIL THE 165 POUND WEIGHT CLASS. IN CLASS THREE A, IT WAS JOHNSTON’S JACOB HELGESON TAKING ON URBANDALE GABE CARVER. IT WAS ALL HELGESON. HE’S THE ONE SEED FOR A REASON. GETS THE TAKEDOWN HERE. HIS FRIENDS IN THE STANDS ARE FIRED UP. HOW ABOUT A 12 TO 3 MAJOR DECISION VICTORY? WE FEEL LIKE I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD. UH. IT’S AWESOME. NOTHING. NOTHING BEATS IT IN CLASS THREE. A 175 DEMARION ROSS OF FORT DODGE WAS TAKING ON CARLISLE ASA HEMPSTEAD. IT WAS A CLOSE MATCH, BUT THIS TAKEDOWN FROM ROSS RIGHT HERE IS WHAT WOULD DECIDE IT. HE WINS IT. 2 TO 1 IN CLASS THREE. A 190. BRANT SLADE FROM SOUTHEAST POLK HAD AN EPIC BATTLE WITH DINARI MICHAEL OF AMES. IT WAS TIED AT FOUR WITH JUST UNDER 20S TO GO THE TAKE DOWN HERE FROM SLADE IS WHAT SEALS IT. HE WINS SIX FIVE. IN CLASS THREE, A 215 RASHAWN ROSS OF FORT DODGE COMPLETES AN INCREDIBLE WEEK. HE PINS HIS OPPONENT IN JUST OVER A MINUTE AND A HALF. GET THIS. HE PINS HIS WAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT. THERE’S A LOT BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIME. THE FIRST TIME I FEEL LIKE I COULD HAVE WRESTLED BETTER, PUT A LITTLE MORE, AND I FELT I DID THAT TODAY IN CLASS ONE, A 215 ASHTON HONNOLD OF NOTTOWAY VALLEY. HOW COOL IS THIS? GETS THE WIN IN OVERTIME. THE SUDDEN VICTORY. AND THEN HE GOES FOR HIS COACH. THE TAKEDOWN THERE. OH THAT’S ANOTHER TWO POINTS. I WAS THINKING ABOUT DUNKING ON HIM BUT THEN I’M LIKE WRESTLING IS A BETTER SPORT FOR A REASON. LET’S WRAP UP WITH CLASS THREE A HEAVYWEIGHTS FROM AMES. IT’S DANIEL HERRERA WHO’S GOING TO WRESTLE AND PLAY FOOTBALL AT IOWA STATE. HE WAS A TWO TIME CHAMP IN CALIFORNIA. NOW HE’S A ONE TIME CHAMPION IN IOWA. HE WINS 18 TO 6. THE MAN THEY CALL PEANUT IS A CHAMPION. PEANUT COME ON NOW IN CLASS THREE A IT WAS SHEER DOMINATION FROM SOUTHEAST POLK. UH, THREE AND A HALF POINTS AWAY FROM TYING THE ALL TIME RECORD FOR TEAM SCORING. I MEAN, MY GOODNESS, WHAT A WEEK FOR THE RAMS IN CLASS TWO. A OSAGE REIGNS AGAIN.
