Pagano dominated Johnson that match, pounded him on top, multiple 4 point near fallsI did like that Giraldo beat Bannister twice and Pagano avenged an earlier loss to Johnson from Harvard.
Sorry for your loss, Abro. And that he wrestled made it that much more poignant.Tough afternoon for Ashnault and Gravina. Ashnault gets Redd tonight for 3rd. Gravina lost his wrestleback consy to Brooks. Gravina & Delvechio will wrestle for 5th tonight.
I missed all the action after Ashnaults match, as went to a viewing service for my neighbor, a NJ State Trooper who recently passed. He wrestled at SHP. Pretty sad, keeps this wrestling stuff in perspective.

Did anyone watch Delvecchio in his 5th place match and see how he did?
That was impressive by Ash
Great finish to the tournament by AA, he will be ready and a handful come March!!!!
15-0 TF over Chad Red of NebraskaMissed the Ashnault match. What was the score?

Good , we need a good field goal kicker next year.17-0, he kicked a late field goal.
Jack ends up beating Kolo for the Midlands crown. Ash at least lost to the champion, but it hurts knowing how he lost to Jack. Ash would've beaten Kolo in the finals I bet as well.
I agree, I think Ash will beat Kolo in the next meeting. I'm most concerned about Heil, Mckenna, and Jack... Ash will need to go through at least one or 2 of these guys to win a NCAA title and they all return next year too.Jack ends up beating Kolo for the Midlands crown.

Or does Ash bulk up to 149 his senior year and deal with Zain?I agree, I think Ash will beat Kolo in the next meeting. I'm most concerned about Heil, Mckenna, and Jack... Ash will need to go through at least one or 2 of these guys to win a NCAA title and they all return next year too.
Jack's height and arm length are massive weapons. Only way to counter it is with speed and leverage.Except chances are he would have lost to Jack in OT. How many take downs against Jack in 3 matchs ? 0? Ashnault came close twice w a TD this match, and couldn't finish. Jack just to long and skilled. Ash did ride him well. Just a bad match up with Jacks size and skill. Jack looked a lot taller than Kol as well.
Jack is a really tall wrestler for the weight, 5'10, I believe. He's lean and lanky like Randy Cruz of Lehigh, whom has the same build as Jack. So if Ash can beat Cruz then he can find a way to beat Jack. What I liked about the last match between Ash and Jack was Ash rode out Jack this time, which, I don't think he did prev encounter. He also took more aggressive shots but just didn't convert. The gap on them has closed. I still hope Ash doesn't run into Jack at the NCAA.Except chances are he would have lost to Jack in OT. How many take downs against Jack in 3 matchs ? 0? Just a bad match up with Jacks size and skill. Jack looked a lot taller than Kol as well.
No one is beating Zain.... Ash gotta find a way to overcome Heil, Mckenna, Jack...whom I believe are his biggest threats and they all return next year tooOr does Ash bulk up to 149 his senior year and deal with Zain?
thanksWhen the 184 matches come up. They are holding the consolations to coincide with each championship bout. I expect 184 to be around 9:50 EST
