I didn't but now I think you may be right.I thought Davis was way more likely to be 125 than McGowan. Still do. He’s just a tiny kid.

I think Jax is the best of the McCort crew and in my opinion by a good bit. I like Davis alot but if PSU is looking to bring in more lightweights my favorites are Lillendahl and McGowan.He made his fame through dominating cadet worlds at 99 pounds and looking like Spencer Lee wrestling high school 106 .... that and a big time marketing campaign ran by his dad. I am not a hater at all (seems like a very polite and humble kid by all counts) but it's nice to see him being brought down to Earth a bit at 120 when he no longer has a decided strength advantage.
Now Jax Forrest on the other hand, beating Jesuroga (an absolute unit despite being so small) to make the cadet world team at 120 ... he has my attention big time.
Thanks, Tikk. I'll mention that he is a really great kid as well, ALWAYS a smile on his face. A very easy kid for anyone to root for.That's great, I'm happy that someone on the Board knows him (I searched his name here and there aren't many mentions), but especially that it's someone who knows him really well. Congrats Dice.
Tom Ryan was in his corner?Anyone know what happened with Emmanuel Ulrich. He forfeited the first round, then won 8 straight on the backside and will wrestle for 3rd.
That or Kevin Jackson told him the time of his first matchTom Ryan was in his corner?
I will gladly take a kid who scored 22 points in 3 minutes lolThat Davis consi semi was unreal. Down 8-0 at the break and just stayed in Lauridsen like a dog on a bone. Showed some good neutral offense, good freestyle exposures, some weird funk. Just a crazy match.
If any of you are bored and got time on your hands, take a look at 126 Jr Coleman Nogle. Hes a local MD kid that has people talking here.
He gets Mason Gibson in the Semis so hell probably hang but I cant see him winning.
Hope this isn’t true but heard he over slept and missed the match. Cmon manAnyone know what happened with Emmanuel Ulrich. He forfeited the first round, then won 8 straight on the backside and will wrestle for 3rd.
Trust me I am first to not like the privates school but holy crap won’t talk smack on kids. lolI look forward to seeing his 5:00 a.m. workout video tommorrow morning.... lol
Just watched this. He was down 13-4 and dug deep. He is going to be a stud. His coach was going wild!!!I will gladly take a kid who scored 22 points in 3 minutes lol
I think he just missed his match. Almost happened to my son also. He said the warm up area is far away from the mats and there isn't a bout board down there. Slow cell service because so many people are in the arena so difficult to load the brackets on your phone. HWTs got there at 8am but most didn't wrestle there 1st match until 1pm.Anyone know what happened with Emmanuel Ulrich.

Oh hush.. You suggest he take a vacation and I make a crack that he never seems to take a day off and that's hating? Lol. If anyone here has a weird and creepy obsession it's you and your hate for private schools and athletes competing against public schools. Why do you follow pa wrestling but complain about what you see? BTW, I don't follow Bo on Twitter...rarely on it to be honest. ..However, I have defended McCort and their athletes including Bo and feel they should be competing for state titles...unlike you....a hater.Trust me I am first to not like the privates school but holy crap won’t talk smack on kids. lol
Steel you have a weird hate for this kid. Why do you follow him and then complain about what you see. Quit stocking the kid. Doesn’t he live by you? Go get an autograph already. Lol
I've always felt individual states should be open to all kids if they are a resident of pa. Team championship determined by duals and have 3 classes, AAA, AA and Privates/Parochial ( and publics deemed to have recruited kids) Just think it's unfair to kids like Bassett, born and raised in Johnstown PA but can't compete for state title.Dont have a dog innthis fight but do have my own opinion in that if the catholic schools are good to compete in piaa (and recruit from anywhere), might as well let schools like wyoming sem do same
Agreed. And for individual sports, get rid of the classifications. In track, you see kids medal with times, heights and distances that would barely qualify for districts in the bigger school classification.I've always felt individual states should be open to all kids if they are a resident of pa.

I'm actually in agreement but didn't want to open up acan of worms with one class individuals championships. I get people like tradition, I'm usually in that camp myself but these kids go all over the country seeing competition so why even have classes. There are AA kids nationally ranked seeing better completion than alot of kids in AAA. Take Bo Bassett, had McCort been cleared, they'd be a AA school.Agreed.

With my idea the individual tourney open to every pa athlete. Now for the team championship, I'd have to think about it but top of my head I like the idea that if a kid that has not competed at the hs level (9-12) and transfers to another school, everything is good and no penalty. But if a kid transfers to a school after already having competed elsewhere in h.s., the school must then compete with the privates/Parochials at team championships. I may allow 1 but anymore than 1 and team moves to other class.. That one is total, not yearly in that I mean if a junior transfers in one year then another the next year, that's 2 so they move to AAAA*.If they would open it up then piaa has to have hands off with transfers in public schools
Who cares!! It's private vs public thread hijack time!What time (approx) is Barr's final?
I'll go back to my hole now....Who cares!! It's private vs public thread hijack time!
If somebody would just write a check to the PIAA directors, all would be cool.If they would open it up then piaa has to have hands off with transfers in public schools
Was 2-2 before he got pancakes then a set of guts to end it. Never looked like he got back to a defensible position for a couple of the guts but freestyle gonna freestyle.Davis teched in his final match 12-2 by Alan Koehler. Will definitely need to rewatch some of his matches this weekend but solid weekend overall.
