Haakon peterson who was 100lbs for like 5 years looks freaking awesome at 144.

Kenny vs Mills @126 might be my match of the tournament so far

[wrestlingfan22]

Adam Waters Injury Defaults out to Michael White of Indiana. Waters was up 6-0 when he seemed to pull his hammy on a White takedown. He tried to wrestle through it, but White scored another 11 points unanswered before Waters called it while trailing 13-6. Obviously, injury was a factor, but White looked really good on his comeback; he hand-fought like a machine, and once he smelled blood in the water, he never stopped pushing.

I really liked how Travis Grace looked before he got his knee messed up

Those last 15 or so seconds were fantastic

Merrill smashing Bechtold was also an eye opener for me; I knew he was good but was expecting a closer match

Semis: Kellen Wolbert, WI over Tyler Dekraker, PA (Dec 9-6) 

Dekraker beat Sam Herring in the quarters.

Wolbert will face Jordyn Raney in the finals!

Becoming a huge fan of Zinkin. Ohio boy at 215 Boyle as well.

Crazy Wolbert isn't even talked about amongst the crop of recruits heading to Stillwater and he has the chance to be a Fargo champ.

Wolbert's an Askren kid so maybe he's a late bloomer like the others. He was doing well at the US Open but then missed weight on day 2.

Don't know where I See he projects in their lineup. Could be an even bigger log jam if Bo commits.

Not even a late bloomer, been super successful up here for a while now.

Antonio Mills has had a really strong freestyle season, and has continued it with this Fargo run. He was ranked #14 at 126 in April and has moved up to #4. I'm curious to see if he can compete with Raney.

[MPhillips]

Raney and Wolbert was a fun match.

[okokzach]

Kellen Wolbert and Jordyn Raney take a bow!! What a match!

A Kentucky kid - Luke Ricketts - came outta nowhere really to make quarters at 190. has Mastny next.

in that same bracket, it's nice to see Penovich doing so well after his long injury layoff. 

What a run. Is he committed anywhere/what year is he?

[BruceyB]

I haven't watched a lot of Coby Merrill, but does he have any offensive attacks to use against tough competition? Or does he just hand fight and hope his opponent takes an errant shot so he can hit a go behind?

[MNRodent]

St. Michael-Albertville High School in Minnesota had 5 All Americans in freestyle (4 in Juniors and 1 in 16U).

[Ragu]

Antonio Mills had an incredible summer, cool to see him get a stop sign. Hoping to see him at S32 and I bet we do because he's already a southern kid

Cade Ziola - 215lbs National Champ from Omaha who is going to Nebraska to wrestle as a HWT is one to watch. Head will RS this season to pack on weight. Head and ankle picks are legit. Tall frame.
