Four-time state champion Mikey Benefiel (Montini) and four-time state champion Albert White (St. Rita) face off for third place at the 2004 Al Dvorak Invitational Tournament. This is one of the most talked about match-ups of all time. Special thanks to Tofurky for providing the tape.

how are they both 4 time state champs?

one of them would had to have bumped up or down a weight class or they would face each other off in the finals and someone would have to lose.
