Stanich, Lehigh, is there as well in the 141A bracket. 8 seed opposite side from Cunningham. This should get both Crookham and Stanich to 8 matches on the season. Just in time for the first coaches' ranking due out Thursday.
Flo Mat Center not working. Bloomsburg Open no longer listed on the schedule. Had to resort to Flo Arena Classic.
Degl
1st period - scoreless
2nd period - Opponent rode for 1:03, Escape Degl 1-0
3rd period - no score, tied 1-1 for riding time.
SV- take down Degl, 4-1

Crookham 9 + Stanich 8? Did they hire the Powerade seeder?
Bundy TF 17-1 to go to quarterfinals
Hayden 12-0 to go to semifinals
Herring 3-4 to go to consi of 4
Hayden 12-0 to go to semifinals
Herring 3-4 to go to consi of 4
Crookham beats the 1 seed, LHU's O'Keefe 4-3, per flo arena Crookham scored TD3 in the 1st but took injury time in the 3rd as well as getting hit with stall warning. I'd hate to see him suffer another injury.
I suspect it was negotiated to get 4 matches. They'd have had a bye if they were seeded at the top. But I get your point.
Perry fall in 10 seconds, into semifinals.
Perry a fall in 10 seconds, that's pretty pretty good.
Unfortunately, Crookham is medically forfeiting out of the tournament. I don’t want to speculate but he’s got a pretty sizable ice pack on his knee.
Beckett 17-1 TF to go into semis
Degl 4-0 decision to go into semis

Well that's a real bummer.
I heard either Flo or BEG this past week picked Crookham to win it all. I don't think he has a full healthy season in him. Even so, I am also not convinced he is the same terror he was in that weight class as 2 years ago. Although still elite he looks like isn't fully back and with the extreme talent in that weight class I don't think he can beat at least 2 of the top 4 back to back. Even healthy he looks like a 3rd or 4th IMO.
For the record, I see a very similar story for Meyer Shapiro.
Putting his knees in jeopardy every scramble is not a good long term plan
Willie picked Crookham in his recent Crystal Ball predictions.
Jesse Delgado won a national title this way, but I get your point. Not everyone has the same flexibility. But like I said, I’m not one to speculate. Hopefully it’s just cautionary.
I cut Willie some slack, he spends a lot of time recruiting.
Thought Bundy had it with the reversal in the last 16 seconds but Rocco Dellagata reversed the reversal to win 3-2. Bundy to consi.
Edited to say BUT WAIT. They must have reviewed it and the last minute reverse reversal was not in time? Bundy to semis!

Say that 3 times, They reviewed the reverse reversal and reversed the reverse reversal.
That's a big win for King Kong Bundy. Dellagata was #30 on Willie's Big Board for 2025 and Cornell fans are pretty high on him.
Vibes vs reality
he’s so beat up, if we didn’t know better, we’d say he wrestled at Iowa
Hate to see that happen to any kid. He's such a good wrestler, but the body is just not there anymore.
Might have just locked up a deal with Slumlord Bob.
Herring TF 15-0 in a minute 4 seconds. On to consi semi.
