Has this ever happened before at another level? I’m sure that’s an emotional roller coaster for their parents! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYou Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Nah. the fam was assured gold and silver. Little bro could have easily MF'd to let big bro have the title, .....but they are ...wrestlers. If there was any angst for the parents, it was hoping that neither got seriously injured.... or embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle26 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 Nah. the fam was assured gold and silver.

If there was any angst for the parents, it was hoping that neither got seriously injured.... or embarrassed.I’m sure they both had their hearts set on a national title. So knowing one of your sons is going to be heartbroken while the other son wins a national championship over him has to be tough. At least the younger bro has another year to get his title. If he wins it all next year, it will sting a lot less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It hurt Terry Brands that Tom got a gold Oly and Terry only got a Bronze. He stated that he just must not be as good as Tom. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbane Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The older brother Nathan had a less than standout high school career for a national champion: 31-13 overall, 2-6 as a senior, never wrestled in the PIAA postseason. Now a 2x D3 champion that has not only lost 0 D3 matches the past two seasons, but also has given up 0 TDs, 0 NFs, and 0 reversals to D3 wrestlers over the past two seasons. He was also 6th at the 2022 Midlands where he lost his only matches in that time period. http://www.pa-wrestling.com/hs/teams/bethcatholic/athlete_stats.htm?id=84404 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
