As for heavyweight, Leighton is phenomenal and I’ve had the pleasure of working out with him a few times over summer, but Jacob Johnson is wrestling lights out and has distanced the gap between he and his competition. Leighton pinned him last year, but since then, Johnson has leveled up tremendously and is a gamer. His ability to find a way to win is second to none and I think he can reverse the result versus Leighton the same way he did against Brayden Erb, Antone Alexander, etc. TeamGarcia and MUSKEEWRESTLER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

812wrestler Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 In all fairness I watched the entire finals and this match was the best finals match. Sollars and Little match got best match of the tourney but most coaches had already turned in there best match and outstanding wrestler votes. And this match was the last match of the tourney. I watched Johnson all weekend and this dude was a pit bull! Super athletic and arguably the fastest HWT in the state on his feet inside the circle! After Ralph got taken down he seemed to flip the switch. Everyone knew Johnson was the favorite besides Ralph I guess… He wrestled with a chip on his shoulder and right before the near fall points the entire gym was chanting his name. I remember when no one wanted to watch 220 & 285! Not anymore man these big dudes are super athletic and fun to watch! It’s great for the sport and anyone who left before that match missed out! Awesome match from both those studs! Chances are we will see it again! Cricket21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to watch on Flo as I was unable to make it to Evansville. From the first takedown to the second Flo cut out, Johnson controlled the match, and then as I saw the part I missed due to Flo’s technical issues on our film, it didn’t look like Ralph straight up beat him to me. Now, I’ve coached the kid for the last three years, so admittedly some of my bias is probably showing. I know what that kid is capable of and how much better he’s gotten and his mat strategy. gonzoron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

812wrestler Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I think it was 2-1 Johnson or 3-1 Johnson?before the takedown and near fall. It was a great match and very close until that point. That match was awesome and both guys are fun to watch! The sport would be boring if the underdog never won! That was one of several upsets at Holiday tourneys. That’s what makes it so much fun to watch. Like i said Johnson was a beast all weekend and the young man is for real! Congrats to both of them for arguably the best match of the tourney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
