[The Japanese Whizzer]

AA
Rothermel, Harers, Milheims, Wentzel, Garcia and Finck all looked amazing.
D4 is looking like the most impressive district thus far

You sure? D6 has 17 in quarters to D4’s 18 and will have more champs.

 

[PAHURDLER]

Is that true that Bainey’s dad told on Music about parking or something. Saw it on the Wrestling room. I didn’t quite understand it.

Pretty sure that was a joke.

How many champs do you see from D6? D4?

When Forrest got beat last week did Vargo hit numerous scoring moves or did he hit one big move and Forrest had to try to catch up and got sloppy??

 

[dicemen99]

Gill - Botero was great. Gill is really friggin impressive.

Gil up 1-0 in 2nd, Botero hits a Jonesy for 4. Gil escapes and gets a TD to tie it with short time in the 2nd. Botero starts down in the 3rd, Gil gives him the free escape, takes him down almost immediately, and then rides the snot out of him for a minute and a half to win 6-5.

Damn, he's good.

Vargo put Forrest on his back twice, once in a headlock and once off of a scramble. Vargo looked like the better wrestler that day, it was not a fluke, but I like Forrest in a rematch.

Gill vs Seidel is gonna be a great final. And barring weight changes, they'll face each other throughout college since they're going to NC State and VT.

Maybe Vargo a little underrated and Forrest a little overrated???

 

[El-Jefe]

Vargo might be a little underrated.

Forrest overrated? Don't tell that to the guys he beat at Mat Town including Lehigh's #3 Stanich.

Good point. Might also reflect on the state of 125 in the college ranks not being that dominant.
Flip a coin

 

[The Japanese Whizzer]

Weiss up 11-4 and trying to get back points in a crab ride in the 2nd….pinned in a defensive fall. That hurts.

 

[royboy]

Dalton Perry advances to Semi-Finals at 139 over Reihner of Trinity 9-3

Brock Weiss pinned by Kelly of CB West
**defensive pin as noted above

 

[royboy]

The AA and AAA semi-finals are both set for 7:00 PM tonight 3/8

Do they go on at the same time?
How many mats in use?

6 mats. AA, AAA, and girls.

6 mats. AA, AAA, and girls.

Thanks. Hope these format/schedule changes work out for all concerned.

Weiss up 11-4 and trying to get back points in a crab ride in the 2nd….pinned in a defensive fall. That hurts.

5 returning state finalists lost in the quarters: Botero, Hornack, Hohman, Weiss, and Ziegler. A 6th, Williams, lost yesterday. Weiss and Williams both got pinned from top in defensive falls.

WIlliams, Botero, and Hornack are all returning champs. Botero at least lost to another returning champ (Gill).

Also, not a returning finalist, but Colby Martinelli got head-planted into the mat and knocked out. Refs didn't realize he was out until after slapping the mat. He got stretchered off the mat. His tourney is over, but that's secondary. Hopefully he's OK.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

Another one goes down. Greyson Music breaks Louie Gill and makes the State Finals

 

[JWil23]

Another one goes down. Greyson Music breaks Louie Gill and makes the State Finals

That was a great match

 

[ChinWhip]

Respect for Graysen Music. Illegal headlock. Just shook his head and said lets go. Losing at the time against the #7 in the nation and comes back and wins. Awesome!

 

[El-Jefe]

AAA 114 Curtis Nelson pulled another upset. He pinned Kaedyn Williams yesterday. Now in the semis he beat Santino Sloboda 6-4. Sloboda was undefeated including beating Landon Sidun at regionals.

 

[El-Jefe]

Gibson lost to Harer 5-0. Gave up takedowns in the 1st and 2nd, then took neutral in the 3rd and couldn't score.

Forrest and Bassett both with TF wins.

 

[Psubiomed]

On a more positive note Seidel dominated Sledzianowski 11-0. Can't buy em all coach.

 

[El-Jefe]

Perry dec Campbell 11-4, into the finals against Shaw.

 

[royboy]

AAA 114 Curtis Nelson pulled another upset. He pinned Kaedyn Williams yesterday. Now in the semis he beat Santino Sloboda 6-4. Sloboda was undefeated including beating Landon Sidun at regionals.

Has Ridley ever had a state champ?

 

[El-Jefe]

Has Ridley ever had a state champ?

No. And it would be a massive surprise if they got one tomorrow -- Nelson gets Sidun in the finals. But hey, he already pulled 2 big upsets this weekend.

 

[Psubiomed]

Harer stalls the entire 3rd period and Magro gets robbed.

 

[Psubiomed]

Great tournament. He'll get schooled tomorrow but 2nd place as a freshman in that insane bracket is amazing. Bummer that Bainey didn't medal but I think that ankle just needs another year.

 

[royboy]

Thanks. No disrespect to Sidun, but gotta pull for Ridley and Delco in the finals!

 

[El-Jefe]

Cunningham dec Barlow 7-1. Gets 2x state finalist Garvick, who won with NF3 in OT against Ohio State commit Kunstek.

Ohio State guy loses a match on bottom? Give that man a blackshirt.

 

[oldcougar65]

Nelson is worth watching. He wrestles like a crazed spider. He's all hands and feet and legs moving everywhere. It confuses people from their feet.
In the semi-final, Sloboda was kinda in control of the bout, leading 2-0 thru late into the 3rd period and riding Nelson somewhat easily. But he got a 2nd stall call and gave up a point with 25 seconds to go. From bottom, Nelson is always rolling around, always moving. As time ran down, Nelson went through one of his sitout/roll around moves. Sloboda caught him long enough for a 2 count, so the score is 4-1, time running out. Nelson finally breaks free of Sloboda's hold and suddenly he's on top with the ref counting. 2 for the reversal and 3 back points at the buzzer made it 6-4.

Curt Nelson is the most entertaining wrestler I've seen at states, so far. His style is unconventional, totally different, sometimes archaic. He threw the first successful arm drag I've seen since the 50's.
And Nelson uses the Merkle as an offensive move. He does that little spin move off takedowns that you used to see little league wrestlers do but never saw in HS. Nelson does it regularly. And he transitions directly into a Merkle.
He's very fun to watch.

 

[El-Jefe]

Another state finalist goes down -- State College HWT Pavlechko lost 1-0 to Bechtold.

 

[oldcougar65]

Has Ridley ever had a state champ?

Nelson is Ridley's first state finalist. They've had wrestling since 1959 and finally have a finalist. (Carl Schnellenback student taught in my HS in '58, the next year hired by Ridley and started their wrestling program.)

My logical reaction is the same as above: Sidun could/should hammer Nelson. OTOH, Nelson wrestles so weirdly. And strange things seem to happen when he's on the mat. He might make a match of it. Hope so. I love the kid.

 

[Psubiomed]

Looking at the 121 AAA bracket and I don't see a single kid who could make the podium if they went down to AA. Wonder if they end up going back to one class for all and send 8 per region, with 1 through 32 seeded NCAA style

Returning state champ Keanu Dillard wouldn't finish top 8 in AA?

 

[El-Jefe]

Does this make Kinney the Anti-Dake?

 

[Psubiomed]

Returning state champ Keanu Dillard wouldn't finish top 8 in AA?

Top 8 sure, not top 6.

 

[El-Jefe]

Top 8 sure, not top 6.

Podium = 8.

But either way, please go ahead and name the 6 AA guys who would place ahead of him. Seidel, Gill, Botero, who else?

 

[mvattivo]

I played football with Music's dad in college and I coached Seidel in baseball. Music is the story of the tournament.

He lost to Gill 11-0 in early February.
He lost 11-0 and was pinned by Botero (who lost to Gill)

Talk about showing up on the big stage!

He lost 24-11 and was teched by Seidel this year. If he somehow wins that, it would be the most incredible, unpredictable tournament run in history!
