For anyone that doesn't follow HS wrestling too closely, the kid that Gravina has this round is a stud true freshman who I would not be surprised at all if he beats Gravina. I think he got a bad seed since he is a true freshman with no or few matches this year.

Gravina's opponent Valencia is a stud. He's placed at the senior freestyle level.
 
Even though Valencia will dominate Gravina on his feet, I think Gravina will still put up a good fight on the mat. My money's on Gravina picking up a riding time point in this match.

Good scouting report. Ashnault also has no slouch in super star freshman Kolodzik on mat 1 soon
 
Giraldo just laying on his stomach on the mat the entire 2nd period. Gassed?

Gets out at the buzzer up 3-1 going into 3rd

Maybe he's just sucking too much weight? He ended up getting the win and will move on to the quarters. Hopefully he can keep his energy level up.
 
Not a good showing by Ash. Kolodzik dominated & looked much stronger. Very disappointing.
 
Some hype on Vince Turk from Iowa board and Ash just dismantled him wit TF. ASH is WINNING MIDLANDS and NCAA this year! I called it!

I'm blaming KidDagger for the blatant jinx!

Just to be clear based on some later posts, I was kidding - although KidDagger did leave himself wide open for the jinx charge - LOL

Kolodzik of Princeton was wearing a blue singlet,not the orange and black of Princeton, whats up w that?
 
It was 1 match. Give it a rest. Ashnault had a bad day. It happens. Over the summer Ashnault dominated him & was up 7-0 before pinning him.

Goody called this weekend RU's mini nationals. Summer stuff is minor league to this. SHOCKING.

Yes, it was shocking but don't make it into something more than it is. He had a bad day. Sucks but it happens.
 
And Lewis goes down on a last second takedown. There go the good vibes from earlier.

Only Giraldo and Theo advancing so far. If this was a mini-nationals for our guys, they are showing that they are not conditioned for a tournament like this.
 
Perrotti wins 11-0, I missed or camera missed what the Neb kid do to piss him off.

I take full responsibility. Fk, I knew Kolodzik would be dangerous. he was 15th seed last night and was set to face off against Kevin Jack. I was a little worried when I saw he was changed to 14th seed and to face Ashnault this morning but dang.. Hopefully Ash can bounce back to take 3rd.
