Original post.. Stalling. I hear countless wrestlers say drop to a single and hold on. The very least to take additional time off the clock. Run the guy out of bounds. Get a fresh start. All strategy here. Smart wrestling. Whether good or bad. Leave it ip to the ref..

Impressed, how crume was able to ride Welch for the whole period. Especially after locking hands. Thats tough..

Is there ever an instance, such as this one where the coach should over rule the wrestler. I figured strength vs. strength. Wilson seemed to get the best of Hughes on his feet. It seemed Hughes best chance was to take top to use his strength vs. Wilson. At the very least, if it did not work at least he would have been in his best position (strength). I thought for sure Hughes was going to choose top. Only one or two guys this year that have not got turned or pinned by hughes in that position I do believe. Very impressed with Hughes and take my hat off to him. He will be back and only can imagine if he ever is in that predicament again he will choose top. Great job... Region fan...

Changing of the guard... ;D

Im glad penn's jv team was there. They went to compete. As you can see they were not embarrassed. It made for better competition. Even though it was jv. Kids need mat time. I'd rather see a whole team wrestle, then five or six guys from a team. Penn is a big school with a great feeder system. It will be tough to compete with them as a team, but thank goodness wrestling is an individual sport. 1 vs 1 at anytime at any weight class.

Good dual. Looks like the rivalry is back.. Descent crowd. Very animated tonight...

Which Crume is better? This one or the older one. Insightful mind is inquring. Seen both wrestle, but not enough to base a solid opinion..

Alot of these kids will not be at these weight classes. Trust me. Also, several of these kids have lost to kids that are at the same weight in the prior year, yet are ranked higher than the kid they lost too. It's early, but to be the man you have to bear the man. Homework, homework and more homework..

Has Brooks ever beat Mason Todd?? To my my knowledge no, and Brooks never wrestled at the 120 weight class, which was truly stacked weight class this year and todd had a couple of tough matches at state and semistate..

Most impressed, was Paul petrov. Class act off and on the mat. Wrestled with and agenda and one of the most humbled guys you can meet. Great job on and off the mat. True competitor..

I have not seen that in s very long time, where a guy tries to circle and the other wrestler cuts the angle to still push the guy out of bounds. That has to be a form of stalling. No moves were being worked. Unless the rules clearly state, that pushing a guy out of bounds regardless of not allowing the guy to circle. Is a form of offense . Hopefully next time the match is decided by a take-down

There were a lot of blue birds at the DAC, too bad it flew away or I would have got a definite answer. Maybe next time. 8)

Rankings are just that, RANKINGS. When the season ends you start from scratch. There are some tough kids out there that are not #1, and might just upset people i guess thats what we call it, but don't tell that to the kids that do the upsetting, if everything was written in stone then why wrestle. Y2 and ONTHERISE, do a good job to keep it interesing. Im really impressed with the #1 kids in each weight class, that have that pressure to perform at a peak level everytime. We learned one thing for sure, come tournament time, when kids get hot watch out. At the end of the year we will know for sure how off Y2 and ONTHERISE were. No pressure!!! 8)

Vlink vs. Maldonado (swing match). It might just come down to coaching, and who doesn't lose there hair first. Hmm, hair bad example. Maybe there cool. ;D

I heard Berry went 3-0. Garcia went 5-0 and Steveson went 5-0.
