Soldier Salute

Good opening session for the clones...little too close for comfort but that's okay they get it done and that's all that matters.

Kysen wins the champ with a late 3rd period takedown being down 2-4 with about :01-:02 left on the clock...was right on the edge in front of our coaches.

Meza gets it done in OT against Cruz of Iowa to claim 5th.
 
Just took a look at the Midlands brackets.

I don’t know what I was expecting, but the midlands brackets are still significantly better than the SS.

For sure. Not really a secret. I went to a couple sessions the first time they had it two years ago and it was a joke. It was Iowa and basically no one else even decent. It’s been better each year following. Most weights this year have multiple ranked guys/NCAA qualifiers along with stud freshman like Ferrari, Sinclair, Merrill, etc.
 
Parco and McNeil hopefully this is a good one at 49...who knows maybe McNeil will win and get himself a bag for next year.

Or maybe not. Damn Parco is so good at going feet to back
 
Salazar is in a battle with Merrill from OkSt. 1-1 riding time not a factor. 0:45 left

Wow big TD on the edge of the mat for Merrill to go up 4-1 with 0:17 left on the clock center for a restart. Salazar gets the escape with :06 left but can't get it done.
 
Okay Peanut is up now against Lanosga from the Navy

Size advantage for sure to navy

Peanut with a text book TD 3-0. Nice trip for a mat return put him right on his face. Peanut now up over 1:00 of RT looks like he is going to ride him out to end the 1st

Peanut up 3-0 after the 1st with 1:24 RT. Navy looking like some sort of injury to his left wrist.

Herrera is on the bottom to start the 2nd. and is out up 4-0.

Second period ends 4-0

Herrera choice in the 3rd he chooses down. Big return for Lanosga and is putting on a ride now. Herrera having a difficult time finding his base. works his way up to his knees stands up gets broken down. back on both feet now and lanosga has to cut him 5-0

Looks like this one is going to end 5-0 and Herrera picks up the win. That was a battle back for 3rd for him.
