I saw iawrestle posted the video from Schriever's first match. Not as dominate as I thought he would be. I am not trying to knock him, but I expected more against an unranked kid. I can't wait to see what freshman has a better season schriever or lil Happel
Cullan Schriever's first high school match
- Thread starter Jay on HR
- Start date
He is very undersized fir the weight. If there was a 90 lb weight class hed wreck kids.
Strickland is no slouch. He will be rated after his Gardner Edgerton performance this weekend. I was surprised Schriever handled him as easily as he did.

I guess that's my point. Being the proper size is as much of the game as the actual wrestling

I totally disagree. He was dominant and I really don't know what you mean by expecting more. I guess by not pinning the kid meant he wasn't dominant. His actual wrestling weight the other night was 103 pounds.
What are you talking about? He killed that kid.
I would have liked to see him ride a little more but he dominated the match.
I take it all back. That match sounds like the type of dominance we were going to see from him this year.
Also I didn't know the SEP guy he beat was supposed to be any good. Cullen usually just wastes his competition.
Not to jump the gun, but just out of curiosity... who was the last Iowa HS wrestler to go undefeated for his entire career winning 4 state titles?
I believe that was John Meeks, with Cory Clark having 1 career loss, which I believe was his Senior year to Devos or someone like that (not certain).
Edited: I was way off, I thought there were only 2, turns out there are 5.
Jeff Kerber, Emmetsburg (126-0) 1976-79
Dan Knight, Clinton (128-0)1984-87
Jeff McGinness, Iowa City, City High (172-0)1990-93
Eric Juergens, Maquoketa (144-0)1993-96
John Meeks, Des Moines, Roosevelt (168-0)2009-12

Also, off the top of my head, If I'm not mistaken and I could certainly be, I think the only 2 UNDEFEATED 4 Timers are Meeks and former Hawkeye All-American Jeff Kerber from back in my day (same conference as a matter of fact).
We'll get this all fact checked and hashed out eventually I'm sure..................
I'm pretty sure you're right on Meeks being the last one.
CC lost to Hathaway.
I think both Teske and Thompsen are undefeated in HS. From what I'm hearing they'll wrestle next weekend in CB.
Thanks. I edited my post above after going to the IHSAA Website. I knew Jeff Kerber was the 1st undefeated 4-timer, so I kind of had him on the brain as the 1st and Meeks as the last and only other one, which was off quite a bit (brain fart I guess........).
Sorry to go off on a little tangent, but bringing back some old memories. Kerber is from Emmetsburg, we are essentially the same age and both from the Lakes Conference (he was quite a bit smaller than me at the time), and we wrestled in a bunch of similar area tournaments (he went a bit more National too, largely because he could!). They used to have some "monster" kids tournaments in Eburg back in those days (32 man brackets, when most were 16 and some 8's, IIRC). Kids from Tulsa, OK were regulars there for a while, not a real common occurrence from that far in those days concerning out of staters, to my knowledge. If you won that thing, you were really doing something.
Anyway, I had the pleasure of getting my ass kicked by his teammate Rich Stillman instead of a "little guy" like Jeff Kerber! Ha! (well, I didn't really get my ass kicked, but it was a "painful" process nonetheless
). Of course Stillman was only a 3 Timer, not some "stud" like Kerber! Ha! Some of you old-timers might remember Stillman as a referee as well, he did the Iowa High School circuit for quite some time I believe, and is retired from it last I knew of him. Both really good guys.
Interesting about the Treske vs Thompsen matchup. Should be quite the deal if it goes off, that is definitely putting it on the line.

Rich Stillman is a great guy and was tough as hell in both wrestling and football.
Why in the heck would he be wrestling in that tournament?
Sans has this weird grudge against Sebolt and the kids he coaches. He was at the Keith Young today and beat #1 ranked Nick Oldham 6-2 in the finals. I didn't see anything on track resembling Waterloo/Cedar Falls kids catching up to him.
I remember Ironside bumping up a weight to wrestle him one year in the Jefferson/Iowa City High dual.
Edit: I was wrong. It looks like McGinness actually was the one that bumped up a weight to wrestle Ironside. McGiness won 7-3.

Seeing the list makes me sad that I miss Rough Rider on the message boards.
No, jack Hathaway at Ed Winger their senior year. Meeks beat Sorenson at the same tournament.
No reason to hate on a 14 year old. I don't think negative criticism is warranted on anyone till their collegiate career is over; unless of course you share the superior thoughts of Zane Richards. No criticism will surmount to his unparalleled confidence.
Why we have a thread devoted to a 106 lb freshman in hs is beyond me.

Really, bro? You worry about you.
You want me to come pick you up at the Library ya dirty bastard? I'll bring you some leftovers before I curb stomp you.
Who cares? Back to my question: why the hell would Cullen wrestle in tomorrow's tournament?
I'd like you to pick your vagina up off the curb.
