U17/U20 Nationals 4/24-28 in Las Vegas

Davis apparently thought he was ahead on criteria. Or didn’t know there was criteria.

He scored last so I assume he thought he was ahead on criteria. He had 3 1’s though while Garcia had a 2 and 1 so Garcia lead on criteria. He seemed pretty pissed afterwards

Kid was gassed by the start of the 2nd period and still wrestled hard and found enough for each exchange. Tough.
 
What a match between Bassett and Vega. 14-12 win for Bo. Haven’t seen him pushed like that by someone his age in a while

Nice win by Duke. Hilton is super tough and headed to Michigan so I assume these 2 will wrestle many more times. Duke is deadly from front head and with reattacks. Looks like he will have James Harrington next who just beat Dylan Evans

He did look tired, but he’s very sound defensively, and Cooper never came close to scoring except for a couple of push outs.
 
Sealey with another tech. I change my mind match by match on who I like watching the most. I watch Lilledahl and say that he’s my favorite to watch but then I watch Duke and say actually he’s my favorite. Then Sealey comes on I decide he’s actually my favorite to watch. My god, we are a spoiled group right now. So many high level kids and they pretty much all just get after it every match
 
The problem here with floarena is that the little blue and red guys are almost always neutral, they need to have a par terre option where the little blue or red guy is prone on the mat with his arms out stretched and the other little guy on top trying to turn him.

First time seeing Henckel. He’s an unorthodox wrestler (at least he was in this match).
 
What a match between Ryder and Norman! Huge win for Ryder. Norman beat Shane Griffith this year so that should give everyone an idea how good Ryder is

Now we get Ryder vs Henckel. Henckel has looked great today. Not sure who to pick. I do think Henckel is going to keep growing and end up at a higher than Ryder in college. He has the frame to be a 197 before he’s done I think

It's getting to the point where the only guys who can beat our guys, are our guys. That sounds insane but that's what it is

Hmm. Ryder isn’t the slickest wrestler, but he’s tough, and you can tell he loves to compete. I see a little Max Dean in him.
