14 Wrestling: Senior Robert Samuels qualified for the IHSAA state meet, and won his first two matches before getting beat 3-2 by the eventual state champion. What came next was a match for the ages. In the 3 rd place match at 285 pounds, Samuels and fellow senior Rickie Clark from Brownsburg put on quite a show for the Bankers Life Fieldhouse crowd! In a back and forth match, it was all tied up 7-7 going into the final period. Clark got a quick 3 point near-fall on Samuels to make it Robert got a quick escape to make it 10-8, and then put on a nifty move to get a take down to tie it all up And then Coach Stewart directed Robert to let him go, giving Clark an lead with 35 seconds in the match. Samuels needed a two point take down to win the match. He tried several maneuvers and finally got the take down he needed and scored a twopoint take down with one second left to secure the win, Not only was it an incredible wrestling match, but both individuals displayed tremendous sportsmanship and the fans at Bankers Life Fieldhouse gave them a standing ovation to display their appreciation.
