im not sure, i dont think they got first, but came close. im not asking a sarcastic question, i really dont know if any other team in the district has ever been ranked # 1 or won the team title...
jbj. In regards to the 43' North Star team that had nine champs and 5 state semi finalists, I think everybody should know all the facts about that year. First there were only "3" teams that participated at Districts that year(Bedford did not go because of a snow storm) and second in 1943 there were only 4 wrestlers in each weight class to make it to states! So when you get to states you are already in the state semis! Not to take anything thing away from the 43' NS team but those numbers are deceiving. Talked to the North Star legend "pip" a few years back because he made it one year to this 4 man state tournament only to not wrestle because he did not make weight. Back then you had one shot at making weight on there scales and he was over! (That had to be a tough one to take). Wrestling rule changes have come a long way since the WWll era. Shows you how much the sport has progressed. I do agree that the 43' NS team should be consider as one of the all time great in D5 history but not the best. I think the competition level is way up compared to the Bedford/NS teams of 30 to fifty years ago that dominated D5 so, in my opinion, having 8 or 9 champs in the 70's, 80's and 90's has more merit than in the WWll era just because of more numbers and stiffer competition. But give credit to those wrestlers back "in the day" because they pioneered the way for the sport it is today.[/b]
Stick up, lol, you are good and were good. Do it with class. Again your lack shows up. You are willing to make comment without reading the article. GOOD IDEA. That makes sense. You are a brilliant man, complain without looking.
Gable, I take your point with a grain of salt. Full wrestle backs, Double AA & Double AAA classifications splits, fourteen weight classes, until someone duplicates or exceeds those numbers, the 43 Boswell is #1 in my book.
