I mean that is the home state of Cale Sanderson so you may have a point. Edit: my history was wrong. He was Iowa State in his career. Penn State just has him as a coach. Either way, he was good and he is in PA ---

Pennsylvania easily best state in the country. Maryland and Virginia are surprisingly very tough as well I’d say around #10ish in the nation…. I was a state placer from Maryland and the PA kids were on another level. West Virginia isn’t very good which I find surprising ---

Yep i saw that as i looked him up and immediately realized I was a dingus. I just associate him with Penn State given how they have had a pretty good hold on collegiate wrestling along with Nebraska and Iowa+Iowa State ---

I would have wrestled them mostly in my youth years 2000-2006 don’t think I ever matched up with them in high school but I beat Matt idelson a few times and made it further than him post season every year I was in school 2008-2010 ---

Ok but what was everyone’s style? I always enjoyed ankle-picking and outside singles. On the ground I officially would consider myself an expert at the S-ride. Since I had bad knees I was allowed to wrestle with leg braces and could literally just kinda clamp people around the ankle ---

I saw that edit you did there lmao. I was the first in my family. I think i started at around age 6 or so in a wrestling club. I initially hated it but did it for football and was initially awful cus I was a pudgy unathletic kid but when i finally got the hang of it (to be frank mostly due to puberty finally coming to an end and me finally growing into my body) I suddenly went from JV to state-worthy all at the end of the season lol. Didn’t win first place but still, grew a lot suddenly. Also headlocks were always fun if you knew how to wrestle dirty. One of my coaches who had connections to some extent (I’m forgetting by how much but like somehow he knew somebody to some degree) taught me a trick where you could covertly “massage” the jugular to give yourself an advantage. ---
