Shouldn't the 215's and the hwt's have wrestled again by know?

It looks like the light and heavy weights are lagging based on the size of the brackets.

105 has 73 wrestlers in it, so that logic breaks down at that weight.

The Cadet FS Session I ended at 2pm. The next session will run from 5-9pm.

I've posted a few pictures from this morning's Cadet freestyle session in the Photo Gallery.

They announced during this morning's session that the heat index is supposed to reach 107 today and top out at 116 tomorrow. Randy asks me to point out that, after calling him a wimp, that I'm the one complaining about the heat.

... and now, on with the show!

Sharky Slyter dismantles another! His train stays on the track!!

As "The Heat is On" plays as mood music Alan Callahan chugs along! He wins the first period 2-0. He uses a sweet snap and shuck before he gains a gut. Later he picks up a pushout. He scores another pushout and gains a tilt to close out the period, 7-0.
