Maddening...

Pantaleo loses. Ugh...

[Gus]

Alirez takes out Pantaleo 4-3. Some very nice leg attacks in the 2nd period.

you can tell mirasola has wrestled before....

[Spladle08]

Alirez has too many landmines.  He won't make the finals.

Nate couldn't beat a one-armed Moore.  He isn't beating a healthy Moore.  In fact, I think there is a good chance Schultz or Cassioppi beats Nate.  Nate loses matches all the time.  He wins a lot, too... but he loses all the time as well.

You can't pick on my Shields if I can't say .....
War Alirez
Nasty Nate Lives

That was a sweet throw

[Gantry]

Mirasola hung with Hall for awhile and looked good, in the second Hall started making him pay for bad shots and blew it open.  These high schoolers are really impressive

Seriously...

[Le duke]

If you haven’t seen it, Beau Bartlett gets what can only be described as a shit-eating grin after dumping McKenna for 4.

Also, Bartlett is incredibly fast when he actually decides to move.

At least one of Barraclough and Facundo will qualify for OTTs this weekend.

That means NLWC will have at least 4 guys at 74kg at OTTs.

Now he has Gross.

Sorry I've been out of the loop, this is 100% sarcasm right?

65KG he's got a 37.5% chance of being the rep but 74kg feels a lot closer to 6.54%

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

KAMAL BEY!

[Le duke]

Now he has Gross.

There will be a comical size difference.

Dake, Nolf, Messenbrink, and either Facundo or "Bear Claw" or both.  If Starroci goes down, that could make either 5 or 6.   If Zain goes up, that could make either 6 or 7.

Why not?  Because he would be small? Perhaps.  As I see it, though, the problem is that he has really filled out as a 70KG guy and won a world championship and a silver medal at that weight.   If he shrinks his body down, he's going to lose a lot of muscle mass and that could hurt him if he goes back to 70KG and continues to compete.  If he goes up, yes, it's a long shot to make the team, but he can come back down more easily to 70KG and won't have to starve himself in the process.
