[Chickenman Testa]

Light work™ for Blaze (and he looked smaller)

 

[LemonPie]

Bassett looking like Marinelli there. The best of the best athletes are just too much.

 

[mcruny42]

Bo is very good and will have success in college, but it seems like he lacks some of the elite speed/athleticism to be a real threat on the senior level. Who knows though, he's got plenty of time to progress. Impressed that Marcus could match his strength and pace while being 10lbs lighter.

 

[mcpat]

Before we go too far on the Bassett losses… he beat Bartlett earlier today

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

What's the deal with the slippery mat(s)? Is this a contintous J'den Cox-like sweat fest, or is something else amiss?

One would think that at a tournament of this prominence, the mats would be in top condition.

Before we go too far on the Bassett losses… he beat Bartlett earlier today

I think that is more about Bartlett. But a great win regardless for a HS kid
