Casual fans and serious fanatics alike appreciate when a wrestler turns in a perfect season. The statement it makes is final with nothing left to be said. If you want drama, intrigue and a story to tell, however, you might look at the "almost" perfect seasons. Whenever someone mentions that a certain wrestler only had one loss on the season, invariably, the first question asked is, "Who did he loose too?". So for all the trivia fanatics out there, myself included, here they are.
(Wins-Losses-Grade)

CLASS A - Perfect Seasons
103# Pat Rollins, OC Prep (20-0-9) State Champ

CLASS A - "Almost" Perfect Seasons
112# Clayden McKim, Millard South (41-1-12) State Champ
1 loss to George Billy, Boys Town, 3-1 at Skutt Invite
135# Dan Rodriguez, Kearney (37-1-12) State Champ

189# Mitch Brown, Millard South (41-1-12) State Champion

285# Andrew Totusek, Om. Gross (40-0-12) State Champ

CLASS B - Almost Perfect Seasons

103# Dustin Stodola, Schuyler (32-1-10) State Champ
1 loss on season, probably at Lexington Invite, but I haven't yet verified.

160# Brock Smith, Gering (41-1-12) State Champ
1 loss to Ross Brunkhardt, Merino, Colorado
(score and meet not verified)

I will post C and D next. (Lost half of this once already.) As you might guess, this thread is as much for my information as for anyone else out there who might be a fan of this and other totally worthless trivia. But if you can see any errors or fill in missing info, I would enjoy reading it.
Thanks.

What? Franklin got beat by barrett in the finals...not undefeated and not a state champ.

He never Techniqually lost because it was an injury default. It never counts on his record as a loss. Also, Stodola was beat the week before at districts by Cottle 3-1.

CLASS C - Perfect Seasons

125# Andy Pokorny, Bennington (40-0-12) State Champ

1 loss to Bernie Nicola, Fremont Bergan, 6-5 at Arlington Invite

215# Dan Stoelting, Southern Valley (35-1-12) Second Place

Hope some of you enjoy these lists. If you see any errors, I'm sure there are some typos and places where I just flat got it wrong. Go ahead and jump on me with both feet to make any corrections or additions. Just don't come by the house to kick the snot out of me if I got something wrong about you personally, okay.

I stand corrected. My mistakes.

Class B -Almost Perfect
Landon Franklin, Gering, (36-1-12) Second Place
lost by Inj. DF to Kevin Barrett, Boys Town in State finals.

And I apologize to Ryan for moving him to a different school. I had a great day spent watching him win #100 at the Keaney Catholic Invite.

I think Hadley Cooksley from GINW class B only got beat once

Correct, by Matt Spain of Valentine in the Quarters. 9-7 OT

Thanks for the corrections and responses. Please continue to fill in any info you see lacking on match result and "bonehead" mistakes or typos I made. Your comments on this bit of trivia are greatly appreciated. In a week or two I'll repost this list in less of a hurry for any trivia buffs who care to see it. Thanks

Tyler Gifford Class D 125 is from Banner County not Sutherland. Great kid and we from the west are proud of him. Good job Tyler!
