All great matches. For me, Bo pinning Martin sealing both the individual and team titles is the BIGGEST moment and I’ll remember it always.
My personal favorite, though, is Cenzo pinning Imar. Monumental upset and the look on Cenzo’s face right after the pin along with his teammates joyful reactions were priceless.

I'm glad he's on the squad and I look forward to watching him in blue and white in upcoming years, but...
That match would be pretty far down my list of favorites.
Not PSU but Keegan is my favorite non-PSU wrestler so I thought I would include these 2 matches. From the U20’s and back to back matches in the quarterfinals and semifinals. His quarterfinal opponent is U23 world champ and Olympian Turan Bayramov. Semi opponent is from Russia. I love both of these matches and have watched them so many times. I just love watching Keegan wrestle

I know this is sacrilege putting an Iowa Hawkeye here but after Bo’s pin of Martin this is my second favorite match of all time. I was a freshman in high school, obsessed with wrestling and had never seen the boot scoot before. I thought it was the coolest move ever. This match is absolutely incredible. Gerry Abas was so smooth and McIllravy embodied what Iowa style is SUPPOSED to be about. Forward pressure and high attach rate
Fair enough. It’s not the match but the upside of this dude with three years at PSU I feel he has Nick Lee level grit. My son is a high school wrestler in California and that is also a factor. Winning a state title here requires maximum mental toughness. The kid has ice in his veins.
Gerry Abas has turned into a great HS coach in the San Diego area. Jaden Abas is his son.
I bet I’ve watched the clip you’ve posted 20 times or more. I also love the clip with Mayhem Miller breaking it down and talking about that specifically.
It’s amazing how he said all he practices that, and the other guys seem confused a little bit. I guess it goes back to watch Sanderson, cosplay wrestling, essentially trying stuff out.
Also, I’m sure you remember that Bo said he’s been doing that more since he was six years old. I believe him.

I’ve seen similar when a wrestler was close to getting a tech fall. If they were working towards a pin, and it appeared that they might get the pin, they let the action continue.
The post-match antics rose to the occasion:
1. Zain hiding his water cup behind a post.
2. Nolf shoving Taylor off-balance. Taylor wasn't pushed that hard in his entire PSU career.
3. The Missouri fans next to Cenzo's parents, no-selling the win. Crossed arms, stoic or frowning ... just a little salty after their guys got pummeled by Zain and Jason.
Prescott pounding Zaputil from the top in 1991 led to a 1992 final that saw Zaputil actively avoid Prescott (stall) at all costs except for the final seconds of each period trying to steal a win. Only time I ever remember a Gable kid have a game plan that read "stall, stall, stall till the end, then try to do something."
