Winning Wrestlers at Programs that Struggle

[fanofwrestling]

There is all this talk about the wrestlers at the perennial powerhouse schools. What about the great wrestlers who are at schools that don't win as a team? Who are these kids? I know there has to be some out there.

Can you expand on that? How bad is St Clair and How good is Tyler Gordon?

Tyler Gordon 4th at state undefeated going in to state
St. Clair had 3 maybe 4 qualifiers
idk how to expand on how "bad" a team is and i think thats a bad way to put it...

I think you may be surprised at how far St Clair has come in a year.

Personally, I feel it is degrating (to the team) & embarassing to a wrestler, to say a certain athelete is on a bad team. Stating that a team is a poor team is just unamerican. You can not expect all Missouri wrestling programs to be great but there is no reason to say a certain team is bad. I may be disagreed with but I am sure all atheletes work hard to reach another level in the sport of wrestling as well as teams try to strive for excellance.

Wrestlingfan19,

I just watch the Farmington duals. You might want to rethink you appraisal of the St Clair team. I do not know What magic their coach has done to them but they aquitted themself very well. From 130 to 160, in 5 duals I do not think they lost any more than 5 or 6 matches. Coach Robb has always had the magic touch in football and it appears he is applying the touch to wrestling.
