Throwback Thursday: Prater Vs Lloyd
 

If you are a fan of good scrambling, then you have to see this 2007 IHSA Class AA 135-pound state championship match between Ryan Prater of Plainfield Central and Cartice Lloyd of Bremen. The final scramble is considered by many as the greatest scramble in IHSA state tournament history.

That was awesome.

Great match and great scramble to finish!

Bill Honeycutt referee biting his whistle till the right moment, showing patience. (same ref for Murphy/Schneider)

I was there, but had forgotten how awesome that was! GREAT choice!

Agreed! Good work by the ref! A lot of guys would have given Lloyd the 2 on the double!

One of my favorite matches.

How about the bogus stall call on Lloyd? Honeycutt nailed that one too, eh?

Admin, how far can you go back........in years?//

Also, how is Red's head gear legal with a bow tie under it. A kid could lose a finger in it.

Well, right now I have tapes back to 91, but I can go as far back as our community allows. If anyone out there has old VHS tapes of great matches, let me know.

That one gave me goosebumps. If Lloyd knew a couple of different basic counters to Prater's great Whizzer it might have been a different outcome.
