Scott Birth of Bel Air was the State Champ at 125lbs. in 1992. He beat Craig Middledorf of Paint Branch 10-2 3A/4A. Chris Birth of Bel Air was the State Champ at 130 in 1989 1A/2A. He Beat Robert Hough of Hereford 6-4.

Hi,
thanks for the quick change. Not that it matters but I am pretty sure that in 1A/2A Mike Bromley of Damascus beat Shannon Talley of North East Cecil in the finals in 1989. Duane was a super nice guy but a monster who just physically dominated most of the guys he wrestled that year. When he came upon Bromley in the finals, he wasn't used to anyone being as strong or stronger than him. I remember he crushed Chris Dotson of Aberdeen earlier that year and I think Chris got third. Also, for the notes, Tom Quigg used to live down the street form me and he beat Wayne Surrett from Edgewood in the dual meet, county finals, regional finals and state finals that year. I think Wayne had 7 losses that year and 4 of them were from Tom. Thanks and have a good one!

[casual observer]

I was just trying to think of who it was who shocked everyone and beat middledorf his senior year in the finals of the state championship. honestly middleforf was the best hs wrestler i had ever seen up until that match.
