Point for Jacobson and he gets a shot to lift Stefanowicz...can't do it...1-1, with criteria for Jacobson. Jimenez pouring it on Mortimer, leaves 10-4 with 1:30 to go

Mortimer and Jimenez up now. The 17 year old Jimenez became Arizona's first female to win a state title against the boys. Super impressive and her Senior level showing here is beyond impressive. Mortimer continuing her hot wrestling, gets a quick four-spot to lead 4-0, but back to back takedowns and a leglace gives the youngster a 6-4 lead at the break. Stefanowicz up 1-0 over Jacobson at the break. Very physical with the pummeling.

Brooks just too well-rounded and too strong offensively and defensively, beats a real hammer in Dieringer 8-4

Pretty sure these are the last semis. Finals matches to come soon. Brooks' 4 stands, and he gets another point with the lost Dieringer challenge. Stepout bullrush by Brooks makes it 6-4, another TD on the edge of the mat, Brooks suddenly up 8-4 and appearing to be in control at this point. Valencia looks very relaxed, holding Marstellar at Bay. Still 3-0 with 45 secs left to go. Wins 3-0, to set up a match with Brooks or Marstellar

Dieringer counters a Brooks shot and whips Brooks over for a big 4 pointer. Leads 4-0, less than 90 secs in the first. Beautiful, powerful counter, Brooks looked genuinely shocked. 4-0 to start the 2nd. Big 4 pointer by Brooks, but Dieringer's corner throws the brick Valencia up 3-0 against the dangerous Marstellar

Bo Nickal and Cael in Brooks' corner. Pretty solid there. Very physical clinch to start the match. Both Brooks and Dieringer are so strong. Zahid and Marstellar scoreless early. Valencia with the first 2 on a TD

Alirez gets a passivity point, leads 5-4, Lee follows that up with 2. Leads 6-5 looks for a gut briefly. Gets a big 4 pointer, leads 10-5 briefly. Alrirez responds, 10-7. No lead is safe against this level of competition, but Lee is defending well.....10 seconds left. Late TD Alirez, but Lee wins 10-9, advances to the Challenge finals. Mendez trailing 3-2 but he's pushing the action, right around a minute left. Retherford holds him off 3-2, but Mendez is absolutely on anyone's level in the US

Alirez gets up 4-2 in the 1st, Lee ties it with a TD. 4-4 criteria still with Alirez. Tons of time left. Mendez against Zain. Mendez is just operating on an insane level. Gets a lightning quick go by, leads 2-0 early in the match. Wow. Zain thought he had 2, and Mendez' perfect whizzer avoids the TD. Still 2-0 Mendez looking strong. Zain finally gets his 2 to tie it 2-2 to start the 2nd Both matches tied at the break!

Kikinou being very sticky against Peak. Leads 5-2 in the 2nd. Peak gets a 2, cuts it to 5-4, 90 seconds left. Peak on the offense, takes the lead 8-5.

Velte slips trying to get a toss against Page. Desperation move results in no points, Page wins 8-7. Here comes Fix and Gilman!!!

Not sure what I just saw but it appeared Lee got in Brands' face as they were walking to the locker room. Probably just some intensity on display but it looked kind of interesting. Page and Velte trading scores...8-7 Page with less than 30 seconds

Page and Velte going at it. Page leads 6-4 in the 2nd period Lee up 13-4 but Zane Richards is a gritty guy. Still trying to score on Lee, wrestling aggressively, but to me Lee is looking pretty dangerous in the big picture, will get Fix or GIlman next. FInal 13-4
