120: Gavin Park (Brookville) vs. Cole Rhone (Benton)
Per 1
Rhone shoots by Park with a nice sprawl, nothing. Stoppage for an eye poke. Park in on a single, has it elevated, and gets nothing from it. Nice D by Rhone. Rhone wiht an ankle pick with 30 sec left, they scramble, and Park comes out the back for the TD, 2-0. Rhone nearly out by the whistle sounds.

Park takes bottom. He tries to throw in a boot again and Park catches it. Rhone gets a tilt going so Park releases the foot, and he gets stretched out. Stalemate at 1:13. Rhone says neutral, so it's 4-3. Rhone shoots, he had good position but Park with an excellent scramble, and then Rhone gets his hips out.

Best display of wrestling so far in the finals. In hindsight, Rhone giving the esc on the restart may have been a mistake.

120 - Park (Brookville) vs. Rhone (Benton)

Park in on a deep single, tries to witch to a standing cradle, Rhone fights out, no score. Rhone ankle pick, awkward scramble, Park comes out on top, T2, rides out the period. 2-0 Park.

Rhone shot, Park scrambles into better position but Rhone has tough head pinch and gets out of an impossible situation, 0:35 left. Rhone tries bad ankle pick from his stomach but gets saved on a stalemate, 0:20 left. Park backing up. Obligatory useless stall at the buzzer -- wouldn't be the PA state finals without one.
Optional start was a really puzzling decision by Rhone -- was killing Park on top.
4-3 Park final.

I like how they call the stall with 3 seconds left instead of the previous two sequences at 11 and 7 seconds that were exactly the same

126 - Teasdale (Jeff Morgan) vs. Clabaugh (Bermudian Springs)
Teasdale's pic is hilariously bad. Like he's trying to both look tough and stifle a laugh.
Am hearing Clabaugh is very interested in PSU. He's a senior.
1st: Teasdale in on single, stands during scramble, stalemate, 0:30. Teasdale low single, Clabaugh goes over the top, grabs far ankle, and tries to lock cradle with it. Teasdale eventually comes around, 2-0. Stoppage for potentially dangerous on bar. Teasdale optional start, E1, 2-1. Teasdale shot, good scramble, T2, with 10 sec left, 4-1 after 1.
2nd: Teasdale takes down. Clabaugh goes hard crossface, looking cradle, flattens out Teasdale. Clabaugh throws in left leg. Clabaugh has left leg in with right bar, looking tilt. Riding Teasdale like a rented mule. E1 Teasdale with 15 sec left, right into fireman's dump, T2, 7-1 Teasdale after 2.
3rd: Teasdale takes feet.. Teasdale low single, Clabaugh hooks leg and gets side headlock but stopped for potentially dangerous. Teasdale low single, T2, 9-1. Teasdale optional start, E1, 9-2. Teasdale fireman's dump, T2 with swipes, NF2, 13-2., 0:27 leCut, E1, 13-3. Clabaugh throw by, T2, 13-5 -- saw that coming, Clabaugh tried it a couple times.
13-5 Teasdale final. But he has serious work to do on bottom. Clabaugh was pretty good on top, but we're not talking about Zain or Jordan Oliver here.

You two PBP guys should try giving some Nebraska students some lessons in live broadcasting.
PIAA Referee special. They probably yelled "action" or some such nonsense.
132 - Courtney (Athens) vs. Griffiths (Southmoreland)
Griffiths smiling in his pic -- didn't think that was allowed.
`1st: Griffiths in on quick shot, Courtney slips out. Griffiths shoots again, Courtney looking spladle, stalemate. Griffith shot again, Courtney looks near-side cradle, gets on top but can't clear ankle, stalemate. Griffith shoots again, another scramble andd stalemate. Griffith double, another scramble, Courtney can't free ankle, scoreless after 1. Yes, that was about 5 shots in 1 period. Great action..
2nd: Griffiths takes down. D1, 1-0. Griffiths deep double, another scramble and stalemate. No idea how he got out of that one. Griffith blast double, T2, 3-0. E1 Courtney, 3-1 Griffiths, 1:10 left. Griffith shot, Courtney into near-side cradle, gets the pin.
Courtney WBF 3:20. Did not take a shot, was in Schalles Mode the entire match -- kept trying to bait Griffiths into something he could win with.
Griffiths looked really good in defeat. I'm glad he's just a JR, he really deserves another shot at this. Not his fault he ran into possibly the best counter scrambler in the country.

Ruth 3-1 SV final.
You can see the potential in Ruth, but he needs to learn to take shots from within the same area code. Also needs work on bottom. But he's young -- potential is there. Maybe not 4x NCAA Champ potential, but very good college wrestler potential.

Edmond really does have a style that reminds you of his older brother.
A quick run to the stands to hug his mom -- a familiar figure at PSU matches while Ed was there.
So he wins a state championship, and has all this talent, and yet there is a lot he can improve on. He's only a sophomore.

He just won a state championship at a middle weight as a sophomore. I'm willing to give him some slack. Patrick is a fantastic wrestler who hammered people all the way to the final, and just a junior. I think they don't see each other though next year: I see Edmund up at 160 and Robbie staying at 152.
