Yes, that is why i put "IF". Feel sorry for the kid being sick at just the wrong time, what ever it is. Just don't want to feel sorry for more if it is something contagious. Hope he can get over and get through if it is just food poisoning.Could be food poisoning...
Wittlake is in the top half of the bracket. If he wins his semi, he may well face Devin Winston (MO), who has looked great in the bottom half of the bracket (12-0 TF, 11-0 TF, Pin in 0:36, Pin in 1:44).
So the final I speculated about will take place. Wittlake won his semi against Joe Shapiro (Iowa) by a 10-0 TF. He has yet to give up a point in the Cadet FS competition.
Devin Winston also won his semi, against Guillerm Escobedo (CA) by pin at 2:50. Winston has also not been scored on in the Cadet FS competition, and had pins in his last 3 matches (R16, Quarter, and Semi).
Should be a great match.
That match against Shapiro was in the quarters. He'll have to beat Winston in the semis to make it to the finals.
Flo.... smh
Dont think Busiello will win his next match like this. The Illinois kid is pretty damn good. If he loses, he should just default out. Dude has heart.
Great match if you were Wittlake. 10-0, Winston had no chance.So the final I speculated about will take place. Wittlake won his semi against Joe Shapiro (Iowa) by a 10-0 TF. He has yet to give up a point in the Cadet FS competition.

Wittlake killing everyone
Glad we're firmly on his radar screen. Wins Greco and Free in dominating fashion.
They can rightly crow about lightweights, but he's right in Cael's wheelhouse. He can't get better training anywhere that's for sure.Pretty sure he didn't surrender a point in FS.
He recently got some buzz on HR, about there being growing interest on both sides. Hard to evaluate how accurate that is, or how it meshes with Ames' earlier report on PSU and Wittlake.
Nick Raimo with the double gold as well. A little less dominating -- only beat Abas' kid 3-1 in the finals.Wittlake killing everyone

Come East young man
HR also claimed Mark Hall was a lock for them, after he released his official visit list that excluded Iowa.Pretty sure he didn't surrender a point in FS.

I saw it Tom. Sasso had his one wrist wrapped up and I think it bothered him quite a bit. It was a good match going back and forth. No one came out superior from the other - meaning another match would be fun to watch.Anybody watch Sasso's match (I missed it)? Score looks intriguing -- Brock Hardy (Utah) over Sammy Sasso (PA), 10-9, in the 138 Cadet FS final.

Can I get an amen
Sasso-Hardy was a good one. (The two met in the final last year too).
IMO, there was a little goofy scoring sequence. That being said, Hardy is good - he was impressive all weekend.
the word i got was that sammy might have a broken hand.
Busiello - imo - he just wasn't reacting right. kids were in on shots without him flinching. didn't seem right for sure.
y'all make sure you get down to Lehigh to see Wittlake at WNO, ya hear!?
Smalls....when will tix go on sale?
