60th Midlands Tournament

[KidDagger]

He looked awful.Everyone was so high on this kid and I don't know why.Looked sloppy and sluggish.

Damn this is a huge blow… ppl here so wrapped up on if a kid from pa or how many state titles like idaf recruit kids hungry n determined.. maybe he needed a rs n now can’t even do that.. damn..

I was super worried when he got handled by Ed Scott(who just got handled by Shapiro btw). N ppl kept saying he’s a fresh against a super star he will turn it around etc etc… I wanna believe it too.. but how a freshman does his first year is ultimately how his career will go give or take a few pips/outlier.. for the vast majority of guys I seen… ugh

Give the kid another year of maturity and strength and he will be fine.

The kid SCW just wrestled looks like the 8th seeded kid I wrestled first round in the bergenfield tournament. What did they pull that kid off the street and put him in a singlet,?

 

[Bobbynieds]

ON a positive note, my granddaughter (9th grade) won her bracket at 138 pounds today with 2 pins....She is also starting Left Fullback on the varsity soccer team.

Thankfully the tourney is a 5 minute walk to the HS for me

A. SMith on deck mat 8

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

That re shot by Peterson, was sick! And why he needs to be more offensive instead of trying to win 3-2

Goody...recruit her!

I think he's conserving energy. He's wrestling smart.

Not really talking about this tournament. That takedown he just hit was so smooth, but in a lot of his big matches he does not take the shots.

Shawver on deck mat 3

Give the kid another year of maturity and strength and he will be fine.

That’s what they said bout Aragona/Glasgow.. ok ok.. hope ur right..

 

[wngarbarini]

Did Yara wrestle?

Did Yara wrestle?

Won 11-4

 

[Bobbynieds]

ooops

 

[wngarbarini]

Shawver wins too close

 

[ScottRU93]

Shawver wins too close

Something is off with him. Not nearly offensive as in years past. Headlines? Not sure but doesn’t look like the same wrestler. Not close

That kid is tough he wrestled.Took Ragusin and Frost down to the wire last year. He can't get ridden like that if he wants to be an AA again.

 

[jerzey devil]

Olivieri and Clark advance... Both looked good

 

[RUCrackers]

Olivieri and Clark advance... Both looked good

Yeah...what's going on with Clark? Did someone light a firecracker under his ass? He is wrestling really aggressive.

 

[SCNJ]

Olivieri has an interesting matchup with Mougalian next round. 2x NJ state champ and I think a 2x runner up as well. Very talented kid.

 

[RUCrackers]

Any mat assignments?

 

[jerzey devil]

Barbosa up now mat 5

 

[RUCrackers]

Barbosa up now mat 5

Looked good.Pretty dominant performance.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Soldano on deck mat 6
Turley on dek mat 5

 

[Bobbynieds]

Soldano with quick pin in 1st

 

[SCNJ]

Soldano looks recharged

 

[SCNJ]

What is going on with mat 5? These guys have been wrestling for 25 minutes

 

[Bobbynieds]

no idea......trackwrestling showing the match in 3 oT

 

[Bobbynieds]

Turley wins 14-7
Poz wins 22-6

A. Smith advances with a consi win at 125

 

[UnderHooks]

Turley 14-7

 

[Bobbynieds]

Casale on deck Mat 5
Yara on deck Mat 8

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Turley wins 14-7
Poz wins 22-6

A. Smith advances with a consi win at 125

I think he's doing well, considering his size. Was he outmuscled in the front draw match?

 

[Bobbynieds]

Yara's opponent stalls out in the 3rd Period.....Didnt want to wrestle....
Hoepfully be able to watch second round at 730

 

[SCNJ]

9 starters and 2 co-starters into the quarters. Harer the only disappointing performance so far.

A few guys like Smith, Casale, Nini with relatively good showings as well.

What has Casale done?

 

[RUCrackers]

What has Casale done?

Casale is getting schooled by Mac Stout on mat five. I really thought
He was going to be a game changer for this program. He seems to have Connor O'Neil syndrome.

Other than that, he only had a bye.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Casale wishes there was a 220 pound weight class.

Scanning the brackets, WVU has a freshman wrestler named Hoke Hogan? That's amazing.
