Super 32 Results

Besides all the superstar names that populated the 126 bracket at S32, one unheralded kid that impressed me was a kid from Steubenville, OH named Tariq Wilson. He had some very impressive leg attacks in matches I saw against Suriano and later in his R12 match vs. Mitch Moore. Against Moore he was leading 9-3 (should have been 8-1 IMO) with under a minute to go when he got lazy on his knees, got headlocked and pinned with short time remaining. He seems to have a nice frame also which has filled out a bit in the past year. I know he split with Ty Warner last year. Don't see him listed as one of the top 100 recruits and not aware that he has committed anywhere. He seems to be the kind of kid who might be a real nice under the radar pickup for someone.
Appreciate all the folks that stepped forward to provide coverage during the 2 days of S32.
I didn't see any of the matches, but some miscellaneous observations based on the results.
- Yianni won his 3rd high school S32, and he's only a junior. If he wins next year, he'll become the 1st 4X S32 Champion
- Really nice to see Suriano bounce back after the tourney in NY. The 126 bracket was crazy, with #1 Daton Fix, #2 Vitali Arajau, #4 Suriano, #5 Kade Gfeller, and #6 (at 132) Luke Karam. Suriano avenged his recent loss to Arajau when he bested him in the semis, and then defeated Karam in the Championship to earn OW. Suriano had gone a really long time without competing when he entered the NY tourney, so I wasn't too concerned by his loss to Arajau. Only way things could have gone better for Suriano was if Fix hadn't been upset in the semis, and Suriano had bested him in the finals
- Hayden Hidlay has been so good for the past year that it's a shock that he lost in the semis at 152. I really expected another match between Hidlay and Manville in the finals
- Manville's last 2 competitions were WNO and S32, and he won both. That's a pretty nice string, after he suffered several loses (primarily against Hidlay) over the past year.
- perhaps the best final matchup was at 182, where Nick Reenan (#1 at 195) met Dakota Geer (#1 at 182). Reenan won by a 4-3 decision
- kind of surprised that Alex Thomsen (IA) didn't make it to the 120 finals. He's been on a roll of late. Then again, he faced a PA wrestler in the semis.
- I'm still surprised that Gabe Beyer lost in the quarters
Re: Beyer. Hurt his shoulder in a football game. Hasn't really been able to go live for a bit.

I was tempted to post links to matches involving Adam Busiello, but he's only a freshman, and didn't want to start the "official" following of him too early. However, if someone else wants to link his matches, feel free to do so.
I think I got the guys involved with PSU that were at S32, but if I missed anybody, feel free to let me know, or feel free to post links to the matches.
After watching the videos of Suriano, Lee, Manville, and Beyer, let me know what you think of their performance, and their style/technique.
