Getting Their Money's Worth

[Wrestleknownothing]

Yesterday it was all about efficiency. Scoring the minimum while moving on.

Today it is about using every part of the wrestler. Exploring the space. Having some fun. As long as we are here we might as well stay...and score some points.

Looking at the guys who were basking in the moment and enjoying the spotlight (all matches went the full seven minutes) shows 1994 was the year if you like scoring.

Alan Fried scored 80 points (20-9, 19-8, 14-4, 12-4, 15-6) in five matches on his way to the 142 crown, while Lincoln McIlravy put up a not too shabby 78 points (28-16, 19-7, 10-4, 13-2, 8-3) in five victories at 150.

Back in the day when there wasn't any tech falls my older brother wrestling in the sectionals wrestled a guy that may had  double jointed shoulders . In a 6-minute match the final score was 38 to 1. He went on to place 5th in the Ohio State Tournament. Unfortunately 2 months later he would pass away in a tragic car accident.

Not sure where you are getting your numbers but pretty sure Sheets scored 68 Jr year.  Sr year had a pin so more difficult to total.

I remember coaching one of my wrestlers at a youth tournament. It was the first match of the morning. My wrestler loved to scramble so did his opponent  The periods were 1 1/2 minutes. The first period was a blur, at the end of the period it was 14 to 12. The ref and the scoring table took 3 minutes to get it straightened out.

Byron Tucker was just an absolute hammer that year, he isn't a name many folks remember but man he was good.

1988 - 2021 data. I have talked about this. Now if you are looking to extend the data before 1988 or after 2021, I am listening.

I am surprised to see Jordan Oliver on the list. I am equally surprised not to see DT on the list. He must have pinned too often.

Yes, Taylor was a pinfalling and TFing machine. Only 6 of his 20 matches ended with a DEC or MD.

You are missing the superior decision era.

That sounded suspiciously like someone volunteering to add the superior decision era to my data set.

Maybe give him a break. WKN does a tremendous amount of analytical data work.  I for one appreciate that a great deal. Thanks WKN

If I knew where to find it.  Wrestlingstats.com used to have a search function but it doesn't work anymore and not sure it ever had all the data.
