[HOOSIERDADDY]

Wow...this is very cool. I wonder how they do it?

 

Anyway....gratz out to Hernandez for the match of the night! Simply awesome, the wrestler everyone was looking for this year. Perhaps it was getting the nice jacket at the Senior Night ceremonies. Gratz out to Escobedo as well. This young man has always been known as slick and smooth, but lately, warrior seems to be the term that comes to mind. Yeah, he lost in O.T., but he looked to be hurting bad and still he wrestles his heart out. Pure joy to watch his energy. A healthy Escobedo would be unstoppable this year, in my opinion. Ortega...owned by Dennis. Walpole...recipient of a clinic by Metcalf. (Was Walpole hurt or tired or is that saunter back to the middle of the mat just an act?) Kinser almost had the pin in the early going against Ballweg and looked solid through out the match. Young looked pretty good to me for most of the match against Morningstar though seemed to run out of gas in period 3 again. Perry is #15 in the country and gets majored. I never know which Perry is going to show up. Cameron should have just forfeighted and saved us all some time. Goldman looked disgusted with him. Powless puts up a nice effort. He seems to be constantly on the attack and reminded me a lot of how the Hawkeyes wrestle, always coming straight at you, as if to say, okay, no games, let's just do it. Their heavy forfeits for some reason, though he looked healthy warming up. Healthy that is for Bigfoot. The kid looked huge!

 

Congratulations to Seniors Seth Parker, Kyle Samuels, Scott Kelly, and Andre hernandez. Best wishes for your futures.
