They said there would be a short break after the consolation semifinals, which are winding down now.  Didn't say how long, at least that I heard over the loudspeaker via stream. 

30 minutes

Gilbert is one hell of a wrestler.. especially for a freshmen 

Think he’s wrestled in Pan Am games 

And Alstott holds on the for the 3-1 win after 4 separate blood time breaks for Alstott. 

126:  Lowery down 3-1 to Alstott in the 3rd in what could be our first upset of the day.

(6)Tristan Ruhlman Pin over (#1)Clayton Fieldon 2:50

Wow. He looked hood beating Deters a couple weeks ago. 

Thanks again for the updates SWINfan. I plan on being there “live” tomorrow but had too many honey do’s today. Maybe I can return the favor tomorrow.

Look for Justice Cash to finally get over the hurdle and place high at state. Another seasoned vet is Logan Boe. Three time placer looking to break through to the finals.

If I remember right when he was a frosh he lost in OT in the ticket round to Eli Dickens in one of the best matches in The Ford Center that day. Someone please confirm my sketchy memory.

Why would you make that statement? 

Maybe no Christmas spirit?

Very nice!  You guys just needed the creativity of a former  stud HS wrestler to get involved!  Hope you are well.

Wow.  126 is ridiculous. Alec Freeman finishes 3rd in State @ 106 last year and is rewarded by a 5th place ranking in a semi-state?

If I were him I’d think seriously about making and staying @ 120. 

Hurry up TripleB and fix the rankings with regard to the same wrestler being ranked 8th @ 106 and 7th @ 113!

Wow

One thing’s for sure, we need CP at team state to battle it out with BBurg, the Irish, EMD and Warren Central and the rest of the 3A line up of schools. Oh well, a guy can dream......maybe next year I hear?

Gonna throw Scott Fitts as a darkhorse.  State qualifier as freshman and had to sit the bench sophmore year cause he couldn't fit in the strong lineup.

 

He's out for a vegeance

Good kid!

If MD solves their lack of stud at 120 dilemma, they'll ne just that much stronger.  Anyone know if Freeman is dropping to 120?

Doug, did you think points were scored when Sollars cradled Deters and put him on his back for 2 1/2 - 3 seconds before Sollars lock was broken?  Then the ref put them back on their feet with no points. I’ve watched the replay several times, a takedown and backs seems pretty clear to me. 

Only saw it live. Short answer:  yes. Refereeing was not consistent today. As usual

Sollars wins 1-0

Thank you. Backs up what was already posted a pout those three 170s today. 

Please post Ruhlman Vs Sollars score when it happens.  Probably soon?

Good Shepherd must not produce wrestlers like they do football and basketball players.

 

Very surprised Freeman is not at 120

Maybe he's on his way down?

I had him originally at 60 too. I haven’t seen castles line up yet they should have a soldi squad. 

I hope you’re right Mike!  Coach Harmon’s coaching must play a big part for that to happen. Go Knights!

Me thinks CP and EMD would be a dogfight!  Both solid in lower weights and weaker in upper weights,

Or at IHPO!

Jordan sets the price because he alone can.   Will be packed.

I don’t doubt it!

Seems like a steep price tag for three hours of group instruction.
