Our guys want to get done quick so they can catch the battle for 2nd place from Stillwater.

That cement mixer is such a slick move. Love watching it done to perfection.

Like seeing mark carrying the seniors off the mat and back to the warm up area.

Nice touch to end their home dual careers

That's funny as hell. I wonder if the Buffalo kid regrets his Curly shuffle yet?

Todrank just spit into the wind.

I always appreciate good quality snark with pop culture references. Well done!

 

[sneedram55]

This is so much fun. It should almost be illegal.

 

[eddy line]

Love to know what Todrank said at the end. Judging from Jason’s body English, it appears he paid Nolf a compliment. Kudos to Todrank for having fun and showing some personality.

Spencer Lee just got pinned!

Note to self....don't piss off nolf

He lost to Nolf.

Don't you have another match to worry about?

What is it with Cassar and headgear?

MY KINGDOM FOR CASSAR TO GET A FUNCTIONAL SET OF HEADGEAR

 

[WreslingFan0314]

I dislike taunting when it's someone punching down, but if you're David about to get crushed by Goliath, and Goliath slips and you wind up with two, the 'taunting' by Todrank is just good self-effacing humor. And it made Nolf's last match in Rec Hall as memorable than DT's 11 second pin.

Not to mention as soon as he got the reversal, he cut Nolf immediately. It certainly looked odd but I don't think there was any bad intent. Todrank knows his place there.

A couple of other notes. He wrestled at Purdue and never broke into the lineup and transferred to Buffalo. He wrestled at 141 most of this season including at the Midlands. He bumped to 149 for the Edinboro Open and bumped up to 157 today, his only collegiate match at that weight. Kyle is from the same hometown as Nick and Joe Lee and went to a rival HS. I know Joe beat him 3 straight weeks in the 2015 State Tournament and he ultimately finished 4th at State.

HWT notes:

Fix the headgear already. Don’t need that problem tourney time.

And

When Cassar is a lot bigger than the other guy, the other guy isn’t a HWT.

Ridge Riley Award: Bo & Jason

Bo being interviewed

Was today emotional for you
- no, I don't think it. I'm just appreciative and grateful for all the opportunities I've had to compete in Rec Hall

Talk about the match today
- I was just just looking to score points, and put my opponent on his back. Once I got him on his back I knew it was over

How could this have evolved any better for you
- so many great people, the coaching staff, and the training staff, it's such a great environment. I couln't have imagined it any better

Talk about your parents
- they lugged me around to tournaments since I was 6. I'm so appreciative of that.

How special is this year's team
- I feel really blessed to be on the team I am on. We all love each other. We're going to make the most of our opportunities

Is it all about enjoying the last month
- the accolades and the trophies won't me all that much in the end. It's more about enjoying being with my teammates, and appreciating the opportunity

She was awesome. I remarked that she might have been the best singer they've had in years. Very powerful voice
