Best Matches - 03/27/12 12:42 PM

Just curious as to some of the best matches everyone saw at state this year? Videos would be great as well. I also saw many matches that brought out as I call it raw emotions. From wrestler, to coach, to Dad then Mom on the floor and even in the stands. Lots of fun!

I am for sure partial here, but 12U 130 finals...Smith reverses Mahan with 20 seconds left ensuing scramble Mahan gets reverse with 2 seconds left final 3 - 2...this after an outstanding first period of scrambles and almost takedowns by both kids...seriously wish I had video

HS 120 championship. Kevin Arnhold of Hays and Tyler Mies of Brawlers. Mies wins 4-3, with multiple calls that could have went either way, that would have or could have changed the outcome of this match. Great match by two tough kids.

I may be also, but that was a great match! 12U 130 Backside semi with two boys that left it all on the mat do doubt, it was one neither deserved to lose.

Tracy you are biased lol...but I will agree it was one of the best matches Justin was in this year. I hope they get to go at it several more times next year.

The Ball vs Moses match was one for the record books. I could watch them every weekend and love it.

12u 88 finals was another great match. Lange and Stuart had some lop sided matches this year but this one ended 5-3 and was a battle.

I watched dozens of overtime matches but can't tell you who was in them but can tell that both kids were giving it everything they had. What a great weekend for matchups.

Moses vs Ball! Hands down. I could watch it over and over. Ultimate decision riding time or escape for the state title. Both kids are beasts!

115lbs Quinton LaPointe and Pedro Ordonez great match for 3rd 4th place. These guys have had some battles for the last 3yrs with 90percent of matches decided by 1 pt. Quinton beats Pedro in a battle 4/2 in overtime to place 3rd. Will post video soon

I AGREE, THIS WAS A MATCH THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. I SAW BALL WRESTLE EARLIER THIS YEAR. THEN I SAW MOSES WRESTLE UP AT 120 AT THE CLASSIC. WHEN I SAW THEY WERE IN THE SAME BRACKET I WAS LICKING MY CHOPS TO SEE IT. TWO GOOD WRESTLERS I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THEM WRESTLE IN HIGH SCHOOL.

The Moses/Ball match was awesome. I talked to John within 2 minutes of it being over and I'm not sure which Moses wrestled harder in that match....Cole on the mat or John in the corner? LOL.....anyways it was a great match and congrats to Cole for pulling it out!

14U 125 Semis. Stovall and Briscoe. Quite the scoreless battle until the first overtime when Blake got the takedown at the edge of the mat. Should have been the Finals matchup.
