California has some great wrestling because the state is enormous and has both ends which I have seen as likely though very different paths to wrestling: 1. Those who live in rural and working class areas, particularly around Bakersfield, Clovis, and Fresno. 2. Those who are super wealthy and have ability and willingness to pay exorbitant monthly team fees in LA county or SF CS Bakersfield may be having a tough time now but there are many paths toward relative success. I like them a lot, and root for the dude Chance Rich

Their entire roster is from California but I'm not sure if that's just by chance

I grew up with the guys on the parkland squad and would have been their 103 in a different universe. I saw those guys there in Hampton and since this was pre-facebook and smartphone, it was pretty crazy after all those years

Well maybe you could quickly sign up for some classes at one of those schools and become a walk on. Get a nice bench seat

Okay gotta return the question: what school? And question B: were you at Virginia Duals in the year 2000

I think it has been a success, but the impact has been somewhat muted by the depth of quality in the weight class

Tight match here. I'm rooting for Wittlake

I was torn because I like both guys. I think ultimately I was rooting for Mosha but it was a great win for Young

I like hearing all these stories from folks. Hope we hear from a few others as well

Sooner getting spanked so far

St. Marks to start and Archmere to finish (Delaware)

I wrestled with a guy named Matt Burns on my high school team. Is it you?

Going to Virginia duals as a high school freshman was a ton of fun even though I didn't end up getting used. We got a lot of time off school and we didn't have to make up the work because it was a wrestling school

Totally agree with the premise here. We are not always going to get it 100% correct, and we can't allow such extended breaks in wrestling as people try to get it exactly perfect. Within 30 seconds (or thereabouts) we should be able to move forward

I wrestled since age seven but it didn't go well in high school. Freshman year: weighed 98 lbs and was behind the returning state runner up Sophomore year: ineligible due to transfer Junior year: was ejected from a car and broke my pelvis and jaw into multiple pieces. Was in a wheel chair to start the season. Ended up taking 7th at states Senior year: shoulder torn and dislocated. Injury defaulted into oblivion. College: wrestled club but my shoulder never held up even after multiple surgeries. So a lot of nothing

I forget which I voted, but I predicted a duck

Who is Keagan O'Toole?

Caliendo is going to smoke both these guys anyway :)

Very impressive match by Carr. Bravo

Oh no

Cheers that makes sense
