That was the match. Was in deep, had him all but taken down and Davino somehow got out of it. Then again, Davino hasn’t been taken down all year.

Davino's ahead of Blaze physically this year, next year that won't be the case.
Sure did look like a takedown in SV anyway - Devino had control of the 2nd ankle for at least a full second. They really need to define what "reaction time" equates to in seconds because the review lasted forever primarily because there is no definition of what "reaction time" is in real time.
Not me, as much as I dislike the Buckeyes, I would rather wonder “high school senior” boy loses in the finals
Davino earned it. No issue there. More anxious to see Marcus' response in wrestlebacks.
Quick shout to Nogle of the Air Force dropping first round and making it to AA as a higher seed
Blaze had a great chance at a TD, but couldn't convert. Of course, Davinio's elite defense had a lot to do with that.
Bummer about Blaze, but remember guys: In Pennsylvania, insurance fraud is a crime.
It feels like a case of two wrongs make a right. It looked like a TD in reg for Davino. Then Davino grabs Blazes' left leg with his left hand at 12 seconds to go then drops to both legs and does not move above the waist for 7 seconds. Both wrong, but the right winner.
I agree, they called it action, but Davino went straight out.
Blaze is much better suited for freestyle. He takes ground constantly so his opponent is always on the edge. Easy to get step outs or have your opponent take bad shots
Blaze needed his best to beat Davino and couldn’t get it done. Don’t understand how these young guys struggle with the basics. Stand up and flail your arms rather than breaking the grip of the guy holding you. High school basics aren’t needed when you are great for the most part. Announcer said in another match this morning that young guys need time to work on that part of their match. Held true tonight. Only needed 21 seconds to get out. Wow.
Next matches for blaze and Davino are tough.

Don’t need more hype for the Stilly Boys. Go Hardy
I find him annoying. I always have, but after the Carter comments, I find him to be an arrogant prick also.
Yes. That ms the definition of the rule. That ref is bad. He was horrible in the Nebraska (I think) dual
Tough loss for Blaze, he’ll come back next year dare I say…..ablaze……
P.S. also don’t falsify any claims…..

Definitely a takedown. Don’t know why blaze didn’t keep the split and instead brought his ankle back in.
I really didnt agree with the first one Davino got. But I wanted that call also when Davino backed out.
Marcus needs to do more. He has taken one legit shot in 3 ride out matches. Sorry, but that's lousy even by Iowa standards.
And yet Davino has ridden him out in 2 straight TBs. Doesn’t need a TD to win because he’s confident in TBs. Marcus not so much. Is he getting closer? Sure, I guess. But so is Davino…

So often we see someone with a leg on the edge while the defender does the hurler stretch(own head kissing own knee) yet the one with the leg refuses to clamp down a nearside cradle? Im mystified. Most recently it appeared Marcus had that opportunity. Then again,what the he'll do I know. Lol
