Almost unbelievably, Perry and Penn did not rematch today (I believe Perry beat them 34-18 early on).  I demand an explanation! Ha.

No Darius Marshall all day - Mishawaka had Weldon in at 152. I believe Perry chose to rest Johnson for that match, so I'm not sure who wrestled for them there.

Looking forward to finding out if the beaten-up Cavemen can step it up to give Perry a match...

Bellmont pulls it out 38-30 over Mishawaka. Hankenson by fall to close it out. Big swing match at 119 with Keuneke by tech fall over Mishawaka's Emmons, after Emmons defeated Keuneke 7-5 in the 7th place match at the Al Smith.

30-29 Mishawaka leading Bellmont with 160 going.

Mat 1 has been off and on for Mishawaka vs. Bellmont, but mostly on. Mishawaka had a 1 point team lead going into the 140 match. I missed the result of that 140 match, but I think Mishawaka won a decision. 145 Logan vs. Stebing now, very close. 3 weights left.

Yes, so far I've been able to watch video (with commentary) of all four mats. There seem to be minor issues right at this moment, but the two previous matches I watched were great.

I'm on a Mac and don't have any issues - try downloading/installing Flip4Mac. I love the coverage and the site, everyone - keep up the stellar work. Thanks.

I also noticed Brock Warner (Center Grove) over #13 Ashton Brierly (Columbus East) by fall at 4:31.

How about Macri (Mishawaka) over #16 Hughes (Lowell) by a score of 7-1 at the Al Smith? Mild, I know, but worth a note.

I've never been to day 1 of the Invitational before - would any of you experienced professionals care to share your wisdom on how to get the most out of the day? In other words, where do you most want to be, and when? Which wrestlers and match-ups are TRULY not-to-be-missed? I fully realize that I won't be disappointed no matter where I am or what I'm watching, but I'm just looking for a little insider insight. What are your favorite seating/viewing strategies? Any other miscellaneous tips for getting the most out of the day would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
