Jason Bryant Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Possibly in the pre-internet era like old Midlands or Wilkes. 1 Insert catchy tagline here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was freestyle but I recall the High School version of Jason Tsirtsis beating recent NCAA champ Darion Caldwell at Olympic trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Didn't Anthony Valencia have a big win over a college guy while still in HS? Might have been FS which may or may not count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanOfPurdueWrestling Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Absolutely mind boggling, two Hs kids in that bracket with the potential to knock off the #1 ranked collegiate wrestler in their weight. side questions- is this a bigger win than Ramos beating Lee last year in the Semis? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crotalus Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Didn't Anthony Valencia have a big win over a college guy while still in HS? Might have been FS which may or may not countHe absolutely blitzed Tyler Caldwell (NCAA runner up to David Taylor) in freestyle. And that was when A. Valencia peaked..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Ramos stopping Lee from a potential 4th NCAA title beats pretty much anything that happens in the first weekend of the season. Impressive as it was for Blaze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshuck Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Ramos has always been unpredictable, that’s why the Gophers ran him off.Same with Nagao.Kidding of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1032004 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Brayden Palmer of UTC over Blaze 6-4 in the finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Well that is confusing. Palmer that good? Blaze wiped out after Ramos win? Ramos actually kinda not feeling well? Or weird stuff happens sometimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos actually kinda not feeling well? Or weird stuff happens sometimes? Palmer started his career at Clarion at 141 he was 133 the last 2 years and now down to 125. He's long and hard to finish on. His schedule is very favorable as well. The Scuffle has 1 weight where the guy who's supposed to win is inside the top 10. Scuffle is down this year big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshuck Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Ramos probably wanted a better finish here. Wow what a scramble. https://fb.watch/o8Dv4s3Dj5/?mibextid=cr9u03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos actually kinda not feeling well? Or weird stuff happens sometimes? I would say that a combination of factors contributed to Blaze's loss. Brayden Palmer came into the season ranked #10 at 133 pounds, and he is now ranked #20 at 125 pounds (which could change after this weekend). Blaze is an amazing wrestler, but it is really hard to win two matches against high-ranked college wrestlers, especially when he had to beat Jax Forrest just to get to the finals. Palmer is a very good wrestler, and he is very difficult to score on, as well as being very good at controlling opponents on top. Palmer pinned Nagao last year at the Southern Scuffle, so overall I would say that Blaze's loss was not a case of "weird stuff happens." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantry Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Ramos was majored by DeAugustino at Big Tens last year and had a loss to Anothony Molton of Campbell. Not to mention the three 1 point squeakers in a row at NCAAs, including the rabbit he pulled out of his hat in rideouts against Trombley. Obviously not to say Ramos is bad, but for a #1 guy he was vulnerable. 125 will be fun this year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Energy Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 I’m seeing posts that suggest (what I think are) incredible High Schooler wins in freestyle vs college studs. That is awesome. But curious about folkstyle wins by high schooler against the very best college kids. Are some of those mentioned above folkstyle wins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
