MOWrestler Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) For pure entertainment, heart and class act sportsmanship this had to be the match of the weekend!!!

hook and half Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't know that I have ever seen a sporting event where the combatants invited the crowd into the game, the whole stadium bit, and the result transcended a simple wrestlng match. It was a singular experience. MOWrestler, momfan, FCFIGHTER170 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewsz7 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 h&h ^ I couldn't have said it better, absolutely an AMAZING match, and for 3rd/4th, normally I would feel kinda bad for the loser in a match like this, but I can truly say....THERE WERE NO LOSERS ANYWHERE IN THE BUILDING, DURING/AFTER THIS MATCH.....THE IMAPITOMY OF EPIC...THOSE 2 MEN ARE NOTHING LESS THAN SAVAGES Dwilly, Mr_Coach_Kline, indianmorg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie953 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 You will not find a better kid than Rickie Clark. I've had the pleasure of coaching him in football the last 3 years, and he's just one of those people that is a joy to be around. I literally lost my voice that match, and was so happy for the freaky and sneaky athletic Rickie. Samuels was one of my favorites from last year...and watching him destroy people on the gridiron was fun too (except against us). While I normally hate the saying...I will pull it out in the rare instance. There were no losers in that matchup. As a side note, my prediction is we see Rickie as a comedian, talk show host, actor. Literally one of the funniest kids around. momfan, FCFIGHTER170 and Mr_Coach_Kline 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cooper Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't know that I have ever seen a sporting event where the combatants invited the crowd into the game, the whole stadium bit, and the result transcended a simple wrestlng match. It was a singular experience. Agreed. You see football d-linemen engage the crowd before a play, basketball players occasionally do the same. I've never seen a wrestler do it before getting set on bottom like Samuels did. It was captivating. Many times when 10+ points are scored by each wrestler, there is some sloppy wrestling and poor technique. This match had neither of those. Aggressive wrestling and well executed technique by both kids. What a show!! Glad I was able to be there to enjoy it.

grecoref Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have had the good fortune to see a lot of great matches in a variety of locations around the world. This match was one of the most entertaining I have ever seen. I know I can say this with 100% certainty....I have never seen a standing ovation for 3rd place heavyweight match anywhere on the planet.

bluechipper Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I literally JUST finished watching the match on Track, and boy, do I have chills! That was amazing and the atmosphere was electric! That last takedown and the hug at the end brought me to my feet in applause. That's what makes this sport awesome.

Kookie953 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Should also add...while "our team" won its first state title and I was incredibly proud of the entire team, coaches, and parents...and you won't find a nicer kid than B Lee and seeing what he did was awesome... My favorite moment of the entire day was when I finally got a chance to see Slick Rickie after his match and give him a big ole bear hug and tell him how proud I was of him...and I'm not a hugger. LOL. It gave me a small glimpse and appreciation of what every single one of those parents must have felt seeing their son on the floor of BLF, no matter where their son might have finished. What a great event. Edited February 20, 2017 by Kookie953 FCFIGHTER170 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsmith58 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 This does not surprise me. I watched Clark at semistate; that kid is pure joy. A million watt smile and he looks like he is having the time of his life. After getting throttled to the mat he gets up with a shake of the head and smile. Loved it. I became a fan right there.

XCard Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Some much needed respect for the big men whom often get to perform in front of an empty gymnasium. Very entertaining match![jokingly said]We had our 285 out wrestling as well and was told our coaches were hoping the match would hurry up and finish, not to be disrespectful to the two big men, but so they could actually coach the boys because of how loud it was at the moment and them not being able to hear![/jokingly said] Edited February 20, 2017 by XCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyBLACK7 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) I honestly felt bad for the other 2 matches going on. Not many could have been watching their matches in that gym.
