[jpacky2525]

used to be my wrestling coach

[Mijumaru500]

Wow, he's a great swing singer AND wrestler?

[littlecow44]

undeniably good wrestlers but a little sloppy at times, dont you think?

[Chenzo160]

what weight class is he at this time??

[BLEV317]

The entire Mid-Suburban League is the toughest conference in the State year in and year out They always have the toughest Wrestlers and athletes place in any sport, Mt Carmel Cherry picks athletes Joe Williams could have gone to Mattoon High School and still would have won 4 state titles

[matthew327]

actually it was TJ Williams that was DQ'd from the slam, I believe... There were a lot of good wrestlers to come out of illinois, Lindsay Durlacher came from Buffalo Grove HS, and he was friggin amazing as well

[trogers19951995]

@matthew327 It was Joe

[AliTheMan6801]

with his long arms he got everyone in that move.

I saw Williams in his final state tournament and he was amazing to watch. He dominated every moment of the tournament and breezed his was to his 4th state title.

[rubeclone44]

@sugnasty2000 "breezed'??? It wasn't even a major decision. He nearly pinned himself in the 1st period!! He was clearly the more talented wrestler, but was very complacent in that match at times. Gable beat that out of him though!

[trogers19951995]

@rubeclone44 He did pin himself. That was two seconds with both blades on the mat.

i got that singlet

[bigbirdgrappler60]

actually williams use to scare gable when he wrestled for iowa because hed coast if he got a big lead instead of continuing to poor it on like ironside or mcilravy

[thegoodnshawn]

So what? Are you going to go to every Joe Williams video and post this same thing. He is still the best wrestler to come out of the state of Illinois by far

[spikegolf]

Joe was the best. I wrestled against his high school (mt. carmel) in IL. He only lost one match in high school and that was because he slammed someone and they DQ'ed him. His brothers are/were awesome wrestlers as well. I was actually at this tournament in Champaign IL.

[thegoodnshawn]

Hey, what high school did you attend? I wrestled during this time frame as well for Waukegan....we took 2nd at Team Duals in 91 and 4th in 92

[DJJackRabbid]
