What a match from Levi. Best he has looked all year
You need a to get a shot wrestle to Bill Gates, he'll give you something he picked up from some Russian girls.
What a great analysis of my comparison between Beau and PJs offense struggles. Truly a scholar, your wrestling knowledge knows no bounds, you should take your well thought out writing skills to flo or basch.
That was impressive by Levi. I didn't expect him to dominate him like that. Nice work!
I could be way off base and he pulls the upset but Brock looks beat before he eventakes the mat. I sense fear in his eyes. Lmao
Don’t think it happened.
Fellas I think it's Gabe the rest of the way for the Hawks.
The rules say both wrestlers are required to work to score at all times in Neutral. When only one wrestler is consistently working to score and the other wrestler is doing nothing offensively and only wrestling defense or in a passive style to prevent scoring for the entire 3 1/2 minutes.... multiple stall calls should have been made. You aren't allowed to wrestle like that for half that time let alone 3 1/2 minutes with ZERO offensive attacks and nothing but backing up and pushing off when breaking ties to create separation from a constantly pursuing wrestler. Stalling is supposed to be called when you wrestle like that in Neutral and long before 3 1/2 minutes of wrestling like that, but to call ZERO stalls when a wrestler has wrestled like that in Neutral for 3 1/2 minutes is beyond ridiculous, but fairly routine for Folk joker Officials who actually encourage the bs wrestling in Neutral (a la, Antron Taylor) by not calling clearly illegal wrestling in Neutral.
Rocco is so good when he is offensive. Scoring machine if he keeps going
They are the Sebolt of College Wrestling
It was and the coach even admitted it. Said he wants them to meet at the state finalsDon’t think it happened.
Rocco looking good, offense has improved
Rocco is really, really good. And I mean really, really good.
Unbelievable high level far ankle scramble from Levi and Beau on the 1st takedown. That was awesome by both guys. Levi casting over was perfect

Harer’s coaches didn’t want to give Bo a chance to wrestle him until post-season. Also known as a
2014-2025When did Beau ever win a 11-10 match?
Hoping PJ ok. Haven’t seen him on bench in the 2nd half
I agree you can see the room making a difference. I like how he is wrestling
Harer dad said it's Bo advantage if we wrestle twice so we won't be bumping up. He was on Pa power with Upson
I read Angelo and Cannon for OSU are both out till BIGs.
Coach harer was on pa power podcast and was very real about it. Said how great Bo was and the weren’t going to give him a chance to get a feel until the star finals
edit: can’t beat the cnn wrestling reporter to the scoop
Not really a duck when he was supposed to bump up to 150. They will wrestle at 144 in the state seriesHarer’s coaches didn’t want to give Bo a chance to wrestle him until post-season. Also known as a
Roccos match against Allred last week was spectacular. He looks better every week.
I wasn’t too sure about the 184 changes a few months ago. I am now.
I’ve seen both Mantanona brothers at the CA state tournament. They were exciting to watch.
He won't be mistaken for Messenbrink, but, I'm loving the offense that Rocco is brining. Still looking for that takedown opportunity with the win well at hand against the #7 kid in the country is why we do what we do.
He probably just enjoys wrestling guys who choose not to wrestle the entire match on one knee.

Rocco is so damn athletic lmfao.
It'd be nice for Cole to get a W tonight
BTN picks Nate Desmond as the Outstanding Wrestler of the Dual (with 2 matches left to be wrestled).
A worthy pick, but kind of isn't fair to the guys at 197 and 285

Beautiful double by Rocco to finish it off. He didn’t sit on his lead but went got another Td. Great wrestling. So many studs on this team but Rocco is my biggest bright spot. I knew he was good but I didn’t think he was this good
