anybody know what's up with Alex Facundo? I believe he was registered for 74 KG, his former HS tweeted that he'd be in the competition, the NLWC tweeted that he'd be in the competition, and his dad re-tweeted those things. Yet I don't see him in the bracket.

Isn’t he waiting in the finals?

Isn’t he waiting in the finals?

Yeah, here it is…

New poster. thanks for the welcome.

don't read too much into my post. I was replying to the content of your post, not the person posting it.

Pleased to have you posting on the board!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Yeah, here it is…

Much appreciated. I forgot that he had qualified for the best of 3 championship. FloArena doesn't populate the "2 of 3" brackets with the wrestler that advances directly to them until the other contestant is identified.

Tom. Did Robbie re injury his shoulder ? Lord I hope not.

Tom. Did Robbie re injury his shoulder ? Lord I hope not.

Looks like he dislocated or blew out his elbow …I believe you can hear him tell the trainers ITs OUT when he stops yelling

Mesenbrink putting California Baptist wrestling on the map. Saw he was Askren trained, so he must be a funkster???

 

[GregPickel]

Oh no, shame to see about Howard. Hope he heels up for the college season.

Thanks for tracking the updates, Tom.

 

[Folkstylefan]

Like to see a fresh Haines / Mesenbrink match, I believe it would be different outcome.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

a tad too much scarlet in the pic for my liking, but congrats to all the winners.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

some times, you just have to give credit to the opponent. Check out this TD by Mesenbrink in the 2nd match:
