MattM Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm sure he was hoping for the win but still a great finish against some tough national competition. 58KG - Carter Happel, IA dec. Nick Lee, IN, 12-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Great job by Nick, C. Happel is the Number #1 ranked Soph in the country. Happel is extremely talented and should be considered among the top Sophomores in the country. However,if you mean overall Sophomore I'm not sure I would put him ahead of Pico (though he should be a Jr.), Hall (though he should be a Jr.), Manville (an actual So.) just yet.

lpd096 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nick doesn't wrestle Hall, Manville, etc. I was referring to his weight class. I should have clarified. WRESTLINGUSA Mag rated Carter Happel #1 Sophomore in the nation at 132lbs. Suffice it to say, he's very tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpd096 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 That's the toughest call to make, the "in on a shot and the opponent body locks and tucks for a roll". I understand that the defensive wrestler has to "stop the momentum" of the attacking wrestler but it's much easier explained than judged during a match. Personally, I thought Nick initiated the move, stopped the momentum, and tucked for the turn but Happel gets 4 out of it. Freestyle is so tough to officiate at times.

TripleB Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, I didn't think Happel should have gotten a four there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
