Another impressive year for Pennsylvania at Fargo. Some of my thoughts
I'm still impressed with Herring. I think he will be fine.
Melvin Miller makes it look easy.
Would have loved to see Ross at PSU
Hutcherson should be full court press. He was impressive.
There was a kid from Missouri named Rutlin. He was a stud all week.
KD Training has another good kid Howard.

If you didn't watch the match, I get how you came to that conclusion based on the score, but that was not a a handling. Mocco led almost the entire match. If you haven't watched, highly recommend. Great battle between two monsters.
Good to see TN and KY produce some tough kids. Along with GA, the south is really improving.
If a tree falls in a forest with no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If a tree tries to fall on Jax Forrest, Forrest would probably go behind and fall on the tree instead. Just ask Vito.
Watching vito i think most high end guy would run around him after the first period of first match
My lone Greco athlete is in the R16 at JR 285. Been a couple years since we got one on the board. If you’re the praying type, sneak us in tonight.
Here is great evidence that Greco is a different sport altogether.
DeSilva just graduated. This past year he placed 5th at NE Regionals, then went 0-2 at states (losing by 16-0 and F 2:22) -- his opponents both went 1-2 at states. In his entire HS career, he never beat a state qualifier. And he just obliterated Raney.
Also how unpredictable Greco is. Raney took 5th at U17 Greco Worlds last year.

Arkansas has their 1st ever Fargo finalist at 16U 113 lbs! Zach Donalson looking to get it done!
*edit - gave up a caution and 1 and had to go par terre. The kid from Utah ripped 4 guts to win. Nonetheless, great showing for Donalson!

To add to your last point- DeSilva also took 4th at Fargo last year while Raney taking 5th in the World, he has made jumps, but Greco is also just wild. I am curious what he does training-wise going forward. He clearly is a potential prospect for Greco teams in the US, but as a specialist I am curious what he will do
That's a really good question. I can't find any news of him committing to a college program, even the Northern Michigan specialist Greco program. Maybe he's going directly into a military program? In any case, he clearly has ability and it would be a real shame if he didn't continue in the sport (assuming he wants to).
From the Raney/OKST angle, this match was an awful outcome. Forget the 2 bombs -- DeSilva first scored a takedown on what looked like a normal go-behind. In Greco, where there are few other attacks to defend. Makes you wonder if there's some vulnerability, but then why it wasn't being exploited before.
He seems to have that one move where he can take his sweet time to pick up a prone guy and throw him. Now that people know he has that move, can’t they be more active on bottom and prevent him from getting a good grip on them?

Frankford HS, in Philadelphia. He was a senior this past season.
From the article: "The 8,531 entries in 2025's backets are over double the number of entries from 2014." That is impressive growth, especially among the women. Since 2011, the women's participants have more than quadrupled.

2025 Junior Nationals Set New Participation Records In Fargo - FloWrestling
The 2025 U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals set new records in participation numbers in all six divisions!
Howard will be a top recruit. The kid heat beat in the finals (Bacon) is also one to watch, a year younger than Howard and not far off talent wise. Fun fact: Bacon’s little sister is nationally credentialed as well.
Does New Jersey send a full squad. Seems odd they wouldn't Crack the top ten.
