285 Consolation Semifinal
Kerk vs Parris
Good action from both wrestlers early. Kerk with the deepest early shot but they go OOB on Parris’s sprawl. Things then settle down a bit. Kerk shrugs by, scrambles, shows incredible chain wrestling and gets the first TD! 2-0 Kerk! OOB with 1:09 to go! Parris escapes with 0:50 to go. 2-1. 0:33 RT. That’s how the first period ends.
Kerk chooses bottom. Sits out and gets the escape in 0:04! 3-1 Kerk! 0:29 RT for Kerk. Parris shoots and Kerk defends easily. Another Parris shot stuffed and Kerk shoots and finishes a beauty! 5-1 Kerk! OOB with 0:08 to go. 5-1 after two with 1:05 RT.
Parris chooses bottom. Kerk tries a tilt but Parris rolls through. Complete domination by Kerk. Has him flat as a pancake now. Stalemated as Kerk was dominating. Hate that. RT locked. 0:30 to go now. Mat return with 20 secs to go. Kerk wins 6-1! Will wrestle for 3rd!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
Edit: I see that Michigan’s max potential is still 0.5 points higher than our current points. I’m not changing the bold statement. Let’s be real. It is over and really was before Kerk’s win too.
