Tommy Rowlands kicked the shit out of me once my sophomore year, I think. It was some tournament in Columbus, can't remember which high school it was at.

That is pretty cool. At least you can always say you wrestled a 2x NCAA champ.

Dude was a freak. Went from a little guy as an underclassman to a big guy who moved like a little guy. It was just amazing how much more mobile and quick on his feet he was compared to even his toughest high school opposition while he was a junior and senior.

Yeah. One of my coaches was a national champ as senior in high school at heavyweight and wrestled at OSU for a while. He'd beat the shit out of me at practice on a daily basis.

He's the 2nd team heavyweight.

Before you said 2nd team HVY, I was thinking your coach was Fickell.

I wrestled 215 as a sophomore while only weighing about 185. We had a stud 189 that year so 215 was the only open spot. Got my ass throttled that year giving up that much weight.
That makes a little more sense. I figured it was a growth spurt. My growth spurt was a little earlier and more dramatic; I grew 8-9 inches and put on 55 pounds in between 7th and 8th grade. I remember by football coach did not even recognize me. He thought I was some new kid who had moved into town.

My parents talk of my growth spurt even today. As you can image a lot of $$$ was spent on buying me a whole new wardrobe.

played a variety of positions in all sports I participated in..

Football: RB sparingly. Played TE and Will LB one year. Played DB and WR the rest of the time, which are my best fit positions.
Basketball: Played some 1 guard, mostly 2 guard. Was best defender on our team, ended up guarding some 6'5" guy in sectionals. Coincidently I guarded him during football season as well.

Track: Ran shuttle hurdles (by far my favorite, and best event.. too bad Ohio doesnt do it in the post season), 4x100, 4x200, 4x400, 400, 800, 4x800

freshman year football & track. OL, DL, ran 1/4 to 1 mile.
summer before soph yr I broke my tibia. Split from halfway below the knee down through the end in my ankle. I couldn't run normally for 3 years. Moved to Fla. and helped it by swimming, surfing, skateboarding. Never had a problem with the leg since.
