Shoes on the mat?Congrats to Alex Dieringer on a great career. Zain still should have won your hodge, but you're one of the best Americans to never make a world team, no doubt.
Shoes on the mat?
I hope he gets by Wick, so we can see how he looks against Keegan. Potential NCAA 174 finals match-up?Levi will have a lot of good tests on the backside if he can keep winning
Evan Wick
Keegan
Carr/Monday winner
PD3 definitely leaving beers & smokes on the mat, but I think the lungs have been long gone.PD3 will retire by leaving his lungs on the mat, next to a 6 pack of beer and a pack of Marlboro Reds.
Levi left a bonus point on the mat. Definitely needs to shirt. We're doomed at nationals.Levi Haines DEC Matthew Bianchi 9-0
Awesome. It would have been fun to watch Vito annihilate Fix again without all the coaching challenge chicanery bullshit we’d see at NCAAs all the time61kg Finals - #5 Marcus Blaze (PWC) VS #2 Daton Fix (CRTC)
P1:
Here we go! Tying up & fighting for position to start the first. Daton controlling the center. Stoppage, passivity warning Blaze, restart, 2:15 left. Daton shoots, nothing. Blaze looking under hook, almost drives Blaze out. Stoppage, Blaze 2nd passivity warning, goes on the clock. Tying up & circling & hand fighting. Fix shot clock point, 1-0, 1:12 left. Blaze shoots, nothing. 1-min left. Tying up, Fix shoots, nothing. Stoppage, Fix passivity warning. 45-sec left, restart. Fix shoots a high-c, nothing. Blaze shoots, nothing, 20-sec left. Tying up & circling & that's how the period ends. 1-0 Fix
P2:
Close match. 3-min more. Back at it. Tying up, Fix looking under hook, driving forward now, but Blaze holding position. Daton more active than Blaze. 2:30 left. Stoppage, Blaze 3rd passivity warning, goes back on the clock. Fix hard collar tie, Blaze complaining to the ref, but that doesn't help. Fix 2nd shot clock point, 2-0. Blaze coming forward a little now. Blaze drops in on a leg, they're scrambling, Fix has a foot too, they keep scrambling & go out of bounds, no points. Great scramble! Tying up & circling. Fix 2nd passivity warning, goes on the clock. Blaze drops in on an ankle, but Fix fights him off. Shot clock point Blaze, 2-1, 31-sec left. Circling & tying up, Blaze coming forward now, looking for an opening. Stoppage & warning on Daton, Blaze shoots, gets a leg, but Fix kicks out. Blaze pressuring forward, & takes Fix out of bounds as time expires, 2-2 adv. Blaze. Wow! Blaze might just have won this! Fix challenging. Long challenge.
Challenge lost, point Blaze, 3-2 Blaze wins! Wow! Marcus Blaze beats Daton Fix!
Marcus Blaze DEC Daton Fix 3-2
I am going to with Wade Schalles pinning John Chapman.Say what you want about ADS, he had arguably the greatest high school win in PA state championship history.
yepIs DT gassing?
My vote is no. DT is motivated and in a better mind set than May.... and he's better.So does Zahid beat DT tomorrow?
I would have to counter with Wade SchallesSay what you want about ADS, he had arguably the greatest high school win in PA state championship history.
Or in folk terms:I don’t think we are talking enough about what Blaze just did. Kid has a full year of high school still and he just took out 2 past world teamers and one who has a silver medal at worlds. Absolutely incredible. Vito seems like a really tough matchup for him but with what he has shown this past year I’m not counting him out. His defense and mat IQ are off the charts. His edge wrestling against Nashon was so smart where he evaded a step out and ended up turning it into his own points. He wrestles like he has the experience of a guy with 10 years at the senior level. I really do feel like he’s headed to PSU and I know we will be just fine if he isn’t but I will be upset to see him represent another school. He just fits PSU so perfectly. A weight of need obviously but how he carries himself on and off the mat reminds me of Cael. Doesn’t like or want the spotlight. Just shows up, works hard and then goes out and destroys everyone. A future lineup with Luke, Blaze, Bo, and Duke in a row would be oh so nice. Make it happen Cael!
