Aaron just pinned his way into the quarters, 1st period again. He's looking rather beast-like.
I'm gonna miss the Penn State era.

Also, in case you missed it, I added video of Aaron's State Championship bout in the pinned "Postseason schedule/results for signed or verballed wrestlers" thread earlier today.
looking at his fall times, obviously the competition is getting tougher as he advances.
Aaron Brooks (MD) F Noah Clary (OH) , 2:22 in semis of senior nationals.
Aaron will wrestle Utah multiple time state champion Cole Moody in the finals.
Finals tomorrow. This kid is a hammer.
Gonna miss the Penn State era.

Yeah, I noticed that too, with the ankle bands. Thought it was cool.
Aaron Brooks (MD) F Cole Moody (UT) , 1:23
Brooks is now a 4 time NHSCA national champion. He just brutalized his finals opponent with a half and a bar.

Wow what an animal. Brooks brutalized the #3 from Utah in the finals. A slide by for a takedown in the first 5 seconds, rode him for about a minute, turned hin with an arm bar (after working a cross face cradle and a turk) it looked Zain like painful, and got the 1st period pin for the championship. Very agressive and impressive. I hate that week have to wait a year but he is the bomb, and will definitely take some of the sting out of losing Bo.

Hunter Catka is a monster-sized sophomore at Sun Valley HS (Aston, PA). He won PIAA AAA states at 220. And today he just finished up as Sophomore NHSCA 220 lb champ. He did have a close bout in the round of 16, winning only 5-0. But he pinned his 4 other opponents, including a destructo in the finals. If he puts on some weight between now and college, he could be a force at 285. He certainly will never see 197 again. Catka has quickness and power. And he's really big.
Gaige Garcia is another PA NHSCA Sophomore Champ at 182. He had a nice run but won in a tight final, 3-2.

First, the last thing I want to do is add to your suffering, but i thought according to other posters we had to wait 2 years to see him. Second, while the power is impressive, to my unskilled eye the confident style of his movement and overall wrestling skill levels are “Tayloresque”. With two more years of intense training before stepping on the mat for us, he very well could be “The One”!
Good chance it will be only 1 year before we see him on the mat for PSU. After a year at the OTC good chance he steps in for the 2019-20 season at 184 after Bo is gone.
Spoke with Catka right after states. He actually said he’d like to go 197 in college. Said he walks around at 212.
That said he is massive. Can easily see him outgrow 197
Thanks for following him guys. He flys to Iowa to meet the SR world team on Wednesday for camp and hopes to get some exhibitions at the World cup. He will remain with the OTC staff until after Junior worlds when he returns to graduate with his classmates. Look for him at the US Open at Junior 79kg unless he grows! Lol
Congrats to Drew Hoselton, who can now wear the t shirt that says "I went to the NHSCA tournament and didn't get pinned by Aaron Brooks". It's a club of one: Drew Hoselton, and only Drew Hoselton.
