Lewis and Shoemaker is no slouch. Mies and Leach at 120, Lapaglia and Lambotte at 145 is a match of state champs, Salas and Boerner is a match up between two undefeated 152's who are both Fargo AA's. Armstrong and Puckett at 60 is a good one, State Champ Guillen and defending champ Abkemeire at 170, Eck and Pixley for sure (Pixley was pretty amazing tonight), all of these are marquee matchups of wrestlers who either are or might be state champions. If anyone can find more physical wrestling in this state than what is happening here today, man I don't know where it would be.

People are disappointed in the Collinsville camp, but when you consider they left three state champs on the bench this week with illness and injury, sitting at over 100 points going into day two is a remarkable accomplishment. The crowd has been great, the wrestling as good as it gets, and that is even after an incredible amount of scratches because of flu and injury. What a tourney.
