Out sized, but I thought he wrestled pretty good … also think that weight is better for him to make a world team, he can get bigger and stronger that won’t be hard, but I think besides Hidley he can compete he will be quicker than most other guys at the weight

Robb vs Thompson could be a good one. Would not be surprised to see Robb keep it close or even win.
Jax beats Davino 3 to 0 and he got the only take down.
Jax wins 4-0. Got a takedown, a shotclock point, and a penalty against Davino. Tough match for Jax, he was more buttoned down than normal. Very careful and there was a lot of handfighting
Seth Gross takes out Marcus Blaze with a pin. Gilman was in Blaze's corner.
Wow, blaze lost to Gross. Will be Jax Gross in finals
Gross is wrestling really good. Will be tough for Jax. But Jax can absolutely do it.
Not a great semis for PSU group till now. Blaze, Beau already lost. Luke won, I'm sure Mitch, Dake will win as well.
McKenna beats Aden Valencia 9-6 with some last-second heroics. Valencia took out Real Woods in the quarterfinals.

Looking forward to Carr vs Mitch, could be match of the tournament.
Hamiti techs Kennedy Monday 14-4.
Great scrap. 8-2 after the first. In the second period, Monday lifted Hamiti up and slammed him, but Hamiti was able to contort himself and only give up 2. Then Hamiti almost gave up another takedown, but Hamiti turned it into his score then got a trap-arm gut and two turns to finish it.

Dake pushing Keckeisen all over the mat. 3-0 on step-outs only. He just shoved him out (doesn't count as a point) and then yelled to the judges "Make him wrestle!" lol
Zahid beats Marsteller 4-2. Zahid teched him last time they met.
Zahid vs. Dake in the finals tomorrow night!
Zahid vs. Dake in the finals tomorrow night!
Wyatt beats Hillger 10-4. No scores in the second period. Hillger had a great double-leg, Wyatt tried to take him over with a chest wrap and went to his back in the process to start 4-0 Hillger. Wyatt got two takedowns and 3 gut wrenches.
Jax is a beast! Hamiti and Wyatt looking really good too.
Rtc has an incredibly bring future. They all just need to finish the job.
Thompson won by getting the last point on a push out against Bullock. He stumbled around and again almost gave up a last second takedown to lose but time ran out. Not impressive.
Our guys went 5-0 in the semis! Tomorrow's finals matchups:
Jax vs. Seth Gross
McKenna vs. Jesse Mendez
Hamiti vs. Evan Wick
Zahid vs. Kyle Dake
Hendrickson vs. Demetrius Thomas
Thomas was the 8 seed. He upset the 1 seed Hayden Zillmer 6-6 in the quarters and the 5 seed Jordan Wood in the semis 6-1.

No problem!
Does anyone want me to do the mat assignments again tomorrow? There will be a lot with U20s starting.
Yes please. These updates have been great.
If it’s not too much trouble, YES! It was a big help today for sure.
But also no pressure to carry it all day.
Thompson beat Robb 3-3 on last td - each had a shot clock point and td
I was surprised Thompson came back right away after Jersey took the lead 3 to 1 after a takedown. Ten seconds later Brayden shot a great low single for the takedown and then slid into defense and held on for a little more than a minute. Surprised me.
Yes, especially because I am more interested in the U20's than any other of the tournaments. Thanks.
