I'd like to compile a list so if you can think of some good ones drop them in the comments. Also if anyone has like a PDF of pervious state tournaments let me know so I can get the years and upsets right.
A have a few huge upsets I can remember off the top of my head were.
BJ Jones losing at the state tournament in Rapid City around 96'ish. I think he had the longest win streak in S.Dakota class "A" history at the time. He had one two straight titles and was going for #3. If I recall it was a BVH kid and he didn't get caught he just got outdone.
Frosty Paris was another big upset. I think he was number #1 in the dynamic dozen and pinning everyone. He got to the state tournament his senior year; got caught his first match, then a kid from Mitchel knocked him out of the tournament on the back half of the bracket.
Tyson Reiner from Mitchel. He was going for his third title; around 05'ish. And maybe this isn't as big an upset because it was in the State Championship match. But anyhow he had just beat Andy Johnson from Yankton a few weeks ago by comfortable margin. I believe it was tied up or Reiner was down by a point. With seconds left Johnson got a takedown and Reiner knew it was over, he just laid there and it went down as pin.
Throw some names at me.
