Sadly, this will not get the attention it deserves, and his name won't get the recognition on here that he deserves.

Qualifying for state will get you more attention on the message board than qualifying for the effing NCAA tournament. Do you people just not realize the level it takes to even have a winning record in college?

Some of our best kids EVER have gone on to get stomped at the college level. I won't name names or cite memories of the dozen+ 2×, 3× state champs (even a couple 4×) who went on to peter out after finishing 5-9, 4-11, 6-12 their frosh years in college. We have too many state champs and multiple time state champs to count who never even cracked a varsity line-up in college, let alone have a winning record. There's serious levels to this game, folks. It might make me unpopular to call the community out, but we have a kid who has done what 99% of all of the very best kids in our state's 60 year history could not do--qualify for the national tournament at the NCAA level.

This automatically ranks this young man in the top 1% of high school wrestlers in our state, ever. Don't think so? Go look at how many D1 qualifiers we've produced. It'll take you about 2 seconds to read through the whole list.

Wherever this kid is, wherever he's from, congratulations to him on behalf of a state that doesn't seem to care much about their college wrestlers. A state that would rather squabble over what ref farted in the hospitality room at the Aberdeen tournament than take a moment to name check and wish this young man well as he does what 99.9% of our state's best ever could not do.

Haiden wrestled for Toppenish he is a four time state finalist three time state champ has won Fargo multiple times in Greco-Roman has represented washington in multiple international tournaments and has done very well. Trust me WASHINGTON'S wrestling fans are very of who Haiden is. what surprises me is your rant and you did not know who he is or where he was from... Good luck Drury you will rep WASHINGTON well as always.

I think you're confusing the State with this message board. Washington State Wrestling DEFINITELY cares about the athletes that achieve at the next level! Why do you think there are so many efforts to re-launch or grow Collegiate programs in the State? We want to be able to see these kids live in our own backyard....but the fact we can't doesn't mean we forget them. This may be one of the lazier rants you'll hear, LOL not even knowing who Haiden Drury is

So he doesn’t know who he is. Just like most people don’t know who you are. He make a legitimate point.

I think 7 Washington guys try for the NCAA'S 3 got in. Osu, THE Osu, Uvu got in. Hof, UVu, NCu, LRu not in. Well done all 7 nice to see 7 try. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by Rant on 3/7/2022, 9:55 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

Your statement about the OP confusing the state with this message board is spot on. The message board is just a reflection of that segment of the wrestling community that wants to engage in social media. It reflects the particular likes and dislikes of it's viewers and that is all.

It is obvious that although all kinds of topics are discussed here, the most popular is high school wrestling. It does not make people bad that they don't follow college wrestling. It doesn't make them bad if they don't follow kid's wrestling or college golf either for that matter. It just means they have other interests that compete for their time.

It all boils down to so many things to do in life, so little time to do it all. Everyone has to allocate their time based on what is most important to them. Some poster can not dictate what those interest of others should be. It is not up to them.

There have been several Washington wrestlers over where years that have made the NCAA Championships, the Keller Brothers, Larry Owings, there are a whole list of guys that would take a whole lot longer then a couple seconds to read out loud

Larry Owings is from Oregon.

A few mistakes. In one part they correctly put Darrell Keller as a champ at CBC in 1967, in another part they had him as champ in ‘69. Also he was champ at Ok St in 1970 and 1971 (not ‘72). He was OW in ‘67 and ‘71.
Orndorff took 2nd in ‘83 and 3rd in ‘86 in Junior College.

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by List on 3/8/2022, 7:06 am, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

That list could use some work. Left off Connor Hartman, 3X All-American for Duke.

The guy above says it would take 2 seconds to see the list of who all qualified. There are typically 3-5 kids a year from Washington. Many fewer All-American. Tate Orndorff did last year.

This board is filled with people who thing 11 year old 'World Championships" in Nevada are the top of the sport. Throw in a battle of which little kid club coach is the best and you pretty much have the gist of this boards membership.

I'm sure there are more mistakes, I didn't look real close, but yeah there are a lot of kids on there and it is nice to see some of ours doing well on the national stage.

The linked page states to contact Justin should there be any errors or things to add. I am hoping that rather than just writing your comments about it here, you are contacting him as well to help make the necessary corrections. If everyone who knows of a discrepancy lets him know, this list will be accurate in no time.

Just for that, I'm not emailing Justin you have to do it for anyone that posts on here.

Not thrilled about Haiden's place on the bracket for NCAA Tourney. I know you have to beat them all for a title, RBY in round 2?

When did you want him? It’s a tough tourney.

He lost twice in conference championships. Because if that he will get a tough draw. That’s how it works

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by Bracket Placement on 3/10/2022, 2:40 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

I know how it works. I've coached for 35 years. I'm not an idiot. I merely said I wouldn't want to be there. Is that the draw you want if you're his coach? If you say yes, you're the idiot.

35 years Pops? Time to relax and just watch the show! Go to the casino or something. Enjoy that clean Toppenish air and sit in the backyard and listen to the crickets and the gunfire.

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by Bracket Placement on 3/14/2022, 11:56 am, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

You're welcome for what my generation gave to the sport. My prediction is that you and your generation will screw it up and probably get the entire sport "cancelled".

Casino? Toppenish? Went to statements about minorities right out of the chute? Wow. Actually Caucasian, but that doesn't matter to me as much as it appears to do with you.

You can't even keep the discourse civil without making it racial. Discourse? Big word for you. Google it! Maybe you'll earn something from "pops" and his generation.

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by Hmmm on 3/14/2022, 7:09 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

Where did you get race out of that post? Because the town Toppenish was mentioned? Sounds like you got the problem “Pops”. As for your generation, you didn’t do much for wrestling. If you did our programs would be stronger.

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by 2nd Thought on 3/16/2022, 8:12 am, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

I kind of wondered the same thing. Sure shut up the other knucklehead. Toppenish reference was kind of out of the blue. Does Toppenish have a casino or is that referencing another group?

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by Hmmm on 3/16/2022, 12:20 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

I think he is assuming the poster is from Toppenish, which does have a casino. If dude has been around for some time, probably guessing the time that "pop" doesn't spend on the message board, he is at the casino with the other retired folks. It's actually kinda funny.

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by 2nd Thought on 3/16/2022, 3:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

If you say so. I don't know the area and still can't figure out where the Toppenish thing came from, so..... ha ha I guess. I guess my mistake was that I believed that the other guy had really coached for 30 however many years. If he wasn't from Toppenish then there was either jealousy of Toppenish or maybe real issues. I totally misread it. I was thinking that the one doing the trash talking likely never made it out of the consolation quarter finals at JV Districts.

Guess I'm too ol' school to be on here. I love wrestling, but this site is like much of the rest of the world. The world doesn't need a wanna-be that never amounted to much disrespecting the ones that gave their heart and soul to the sport. Real wrestlers do their talking on the mat. Wanna-bes come here I guess. Haven't figured it out here yet.

Thanks Hmmm for the insight. I'll spend my time looking at rankings and results. Don't need this especially not knowing the rivalries or who to hate this week. Wow.

Cheers!

One more thing, thanks to Dave G whoever he is. I sure enjoy the other part of your site more then what goes on here. Bad news is real info goes on here among the other screaming.

This is one ol' man signing off. I never thought I would say that I'm sooooo ol' school that "back in my day we wore a thing called a jock strap" and have to describe it to most of these posters here." Thanks again Hmmmm.

Ol' Man Out!

"thanks to Dave G. whoever he is." Wow, if it wasn't for guys like Dave G. Washington wrestling at all levels would be much worse off. That quote pretty much sums up the reason we are where we are as a wrestling community.Personally I think you're full of crap and you are some 12 year olds mom from the valley if you don't have a clue who Dave G. is.

Posted by You on 3/17/2022, 11:32 am, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

News to you "message board alum".... the internet actually jumps across state boundaries. Perhaps the guy is from Florida and has an interest in wrestling and stumbled on this website. I find it hard to believe that Floridians are dropping Dave G's name in discussions around the dinner table. You might, but your life seems to be very small based on your world perspective. Perhaps not everyone knows who Dave is. Perhaps you should venture beyond your parent's basement.

On another note, I think you just proved his point. Quick to trash the man when you know nothing about him. You couldn't carry the old mans jock strap. I say that and don't know either of you, but can tell by your mere approach to diversity of thought.

Go back to Chaz!

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by Just wondering on 3/17/2022, 1:58 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

Why would someone from "Florida give a shoot about Toppenish wrestling smart guy? Maybe cuz they aren't from Florida? Maybe they are from Toppenish and are just clueless? Maybe they recently discovered this website cuz their kid just started wrestling? Btw I would bet the farm that 99% of people on this board know of Dave G. As far as "carrying an old man's jockstrap" really that's the best you 'Floridians" can do?

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by 3rd thought on 3/17/2022, 5:24 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

I think hard core ncaa wrestling fans can get more and better wrestling news from multiple sources other than the Washington wrestling report and its message board.No offense to Dave G. who btw I also am aware of, kind of like an investor looking for stock info reading People magazine v. Wall st. journal. P.S. The part about carrying some guys jock made me flashback to 7th grade P.E.

Re: Haiden drury

Posted by Dave G on 3/19/2022, 12:02 pm, in reply to "Re: Haiden drury"

I like your reference of an investor reading People Magazine vs reading the Wall Street Journal. I have covered all ages on the main website over the years but it became apparent that the wrestling audience in Washington is much more focused on the high school age group than on anything else. Just a fact of life and that is okay. The site has evolved over time to reflect what is most important to the current wrestling community. I can't "make" someone love any specific age group of wrestling. They love and have an interest in whatever they choose, not what we choose for them. Make sense?

I watched the NCAA semi-finals yesterday and it was a little hard to watch as I don't really know who the wrestlers are compared to 10-20 years ago when I knew who all the best ones were. Wrestling is the kind of sport that is most compelling to watch if you know the participants and have a vested interest in the outcome. It is just reality.

I did come here first yesterday, just looking to see if someone posted an update on Washington wrestlers. After I saw some names I went over to trackwrestling and looked it up on the brackets. They do a good job.

For those posting that say someone doesn't know who Dave Gilbertson is then they need to get a clue. At the top of this page it clearly states that I created and maintain this board and on the website it has my picture on the front page. I don't know how you go frequent either site and not see that it is run by me. I guess maybe I need put up an "About Dave" page so the new folks no my 50 years history of wrestling involvement. I am getting older and my relevance in wrestling is waning.

That is okay too as I have always done the best I could and hopefully I leave a good legacy of service.
