Fargo - July 12-20, 2024

Dreshaun Ross just injury defaulted due to a shoulder, it's been braced up. Hope he is okay for worlds and going forward.
Did it look bad? We know how bad shoulder injuries are in wrestling. I really hope it’s nothing major. Kid is an absolute stud!

Junior 120 quarters were PA heavy with some wild matches.

Motyka defeats Jake Knight 15-13
Botero defeats Tamaradze 13-12
Beissel defeats Singleton 18-8
Rothermel defeats Ayala 15-5

Those are 3 pretty tough PA kids and they beat 2 of Iowas better lightweights as well. Who do you guys think ends up winning this weight?

what's up with all these challenges just too much and it seems the score table is making decisions when they cant even keep up with the score!its a mess and some are taking like 10 minutes!guys are getting crushed and their side is doing a challenge TOTAL JOKE
 
Brock Rothermel!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird question, just looking at old fargo brackets. Did Botero wrestle fargo at 120 four straight years? He wins fargo this weekend
 
Some great semifinal matchups

126-Desmond vs Seidel
144-Manville vs Zepeda
150-Robideau vs Shaw
157-Miller vs Routledge
175-Waters vs Burton

I’m sure there are others but these are the ones I’m most interested in
285 - Bechtold vs Dellagatta

Hawkeyes already all over him (like Mario Hutcherson) so we might as well give up
Karenbauer has PSU ties with Steen and his HS coach. Hutcherson also has ties to PSU with Matt McCutcheon and Joey Blumer who both went to the same high school as Hutcherson. I like both Karenbauer and Hutcherson.

I’m really hoping we get to see Aaron Stewart vs Mario Hutcherson. Stewart is the 1 seed and Hutcherson the 5 so they could meet in the semis
I don't think anyone is beating Stewart right now. Hutcherson lost a close controversial match in the Quarters. I heard Stewart is a real good football player also. This is Hutcherson first year in 16U at a man's weight. Will be interesting to see how he keeps growing. Karenbauer is small but fiesty.

How about Austin Johnson! Still battling and put it on Jake Conroy, AAA stud. I wish more D4 kids would roll out to fargo. I think we would help PA a lot.

If Hutcherson accepted the invitation to train with NLWC, which he earned by winning the US Open U15s, then that's a much stronger PSU tie than a couple guys who graduated from college before he entered junior high.

Anyone know what happened to Vince Bouzakis? Saw he injury defaulted in the semis

Miller looked great against Routledge. Would love to see him vs Duke. As good as Miller is I think Duke probably techs him. A bit too physical at this point
