Bitter-sweet day. Love the medal rounds and finals, but hate to see the season come to an end. Wrestling will begin shortly here, just a few quick notes of mine from last night's matches.
- I greatly underestimated Jackson Turley going into this tournament. He has a HIGH motor and is able to score from so many different positions. A 1 - 2 punch of him and Poz over the next several years is going to be so much fun to watch.
- Speaking of Poz, how great is this kid? Had a hell of a battle with Hidlay last night, coming up just short. As good as Poz is with his offense, his defense is what impresses me the most. The way he can fend off takedowns when guys have him dead to rights is just mind blowing. I am so excited to see what John Poznanski turns into.
- Sebastian Rivera was in the dog fight we knew he would have. Nick Lee is a hell of a competitor, and my pick to win the title tonight. That stall call was really the kiss of death, and made Rivera force a few attempts. I do think Sebastian needs to up his pace a little more to make the hurdle over the Lee's and Eierman's of the division. This is only going to fuel an already hungry SeaBass, who will be hellbent on a mission for the national title next season.
