To be unattached or attached, that is the question?
Attached means he's going, full stop.
Unattached maybe still as those matches will count if/when he flips his shirt. It certainly seems like this is a sign.
Better illness than injury at this point in the season.
bummer, was hearing he could've won if he was healthy
I think Sealey's opponent in semis might be FF, but I may have misunderstood the mat 1 announcer (the same guy who didn't know who Henckel was yesterday
I took it that way as well, but am similarly cautious.
Peterson was a the kid who wrestled Shayne is the dual, right? Let’s go Connor!

Somebody had to be home running yesterday's practice, plus travel to Edinboro

Now 5.5 points behind the half school.
Pierce did a great job of scrambling out of some really deep shots. Obviously, I'd rather he not allow the deep shots, but, those were some impressive defensive scrambles to avoid the TD's.
Sealy is looing really tough this year.

Asher is awesome. Another reason to get Barr to 285 next year.
And we now go into the team lead 113.5 - 110 over that Philly school.
Asher's best position is when his opponent is in deep on a single. He is next level strong!
Asher is so fun to watch. He's quickly turned into a fan favorite.
Lots of funk. Asher puts guys in unfamiliar positions.
Barr will not be 285.
The wild card will be Steve Kinney who sounds like he might transfer from Lafayette. 3 time State champ who Sanderson liked when he was at Nazareth

Every time the clock stops on Flo Arena I start worrying about injuries
Wow ! Asher Cunningham is the real deal.
Maybe, not sure how high his weight gets, but would definitely like to see him at 97KG this summer.
Interesting thought. Any idea what Josh's waking around weight is? He certainly has the frame. If he's already at 210ish then it's not such a stretch.
And we all saw him as a career 184 a few years ago.
I like the idea of Josh being a guaranteed finalist at 197 for the next few years, as DTs team will be in the hunt starting next year. Granted we do have a slight gap at heavy, I am not convinced that change guarantees more points for the two weights.
Would not be surprised if Asher is our 184 next season. He’s making big jumps.
Didn’t Josh and Rocco have some history in high school??
And we are done for this session with a 12.5 point lead for the good guys. Five to wrestle for the championship.
