Tyler- Thank you man. I really appreciate that...Did you see Murdock's match vs Finger from AZ...a close one. Some saying wrong call on edge? IDK, go check it out and tell me what you think if you get some time. 

 

I wish the rosters were cleaner, I feel like the way I did it was based on seed, so as a result when there are changes it has a huge impact. I put out some more content today, highlighting best matches (my opinion) and some "upsets", take a look and see. Hopefully I can go through and dive a little deeper into those brackets tomorrow. 

 

Just went back and watched that match. If you are referring to the takedown with 13 seconds left, it looked like Finger’s knee didn’t touch, but they blew it dead before Murdock could get it down, and I’m not sure why they did. Strange call. Finger looked real good, shocked he went 1-2 after that 

 

 

Regarding your article;

100% agree with Grajeda. Love watching him, looks amazing every time but never seemed to have the results I expected. Super pumped for him, really annoyed that he is a buckeye. 

 

I remember watching Woode at Fargo last year, noted that he looked good, but he took a huge leap. 

 

Really like Kash Larkin, dude is an animal. He was down 5-2 with 30sec left in his QF match after a controversial call, his side through the brick, he kicked it back, said let’s go, then scored 9 points to win.

I was expecting a run from Finger as well….but it didn’t happen for whatever reason, but I get to see Finger here in AZ quite a bit. 
 

Kash is a hammer, that QF win over Verduzco was a good win, kid is tough. Kash’s final was good too, love to see a match where both dudes let it fly. 
 

iowa seemingly has an army of little dudes that are really good! Also see Cadet 132, PA had 5 AA’s which is impressive as well. 
 

thabks for keeping up with it all and sending the line.

Yeah I think wrestling heads kind of knew that to some extent, maybe? But holy buckets IA balled the f out!!! Also, see California here too, but not a shock.

Love the performance by heavyweight Sawyer Schendel in 16u.  He’s a big boy.  1st in FS and GR.  Way to represent MN!

[Tyler Perry]

Has a final ever happened twice in both styles? 16U 157 Jaimon Bogard beat Tommy Rowlands in the finals in both Greco and freestyle finals

[GlassPrison]

So excuse my ignorance, but I haven’t followed this stuff for very long.  USA Wrestling posted that Schendel and Mogard secured triple crowns, but I have no idea what that entails.  Can someone educate me?  I presume that includes Fargo FS and GR, but what’s the third component?

16U Folkstyle Nationals back in March.

Kid was really slept on because he does not compete a ton but if you watched him in season this year it was pretty evident he may have been the best guy here. He had two barn burners with Elijah brown and would have probably gotten teched by him his freshman year I think he will be very good!

All the Bechtolds have consistently made YOY jumps as they have grown. Wonder if Decker ends up a 197 or HWT and what school he ends up at
