Last night in the match against New Jersey, we were witness to a true rarity in wrestling ... a tap out! Chase Nelson was facing Jersey's John Guzzo.

Guzzo finished 3rd at 140-pounds in Fargo last season and is an accomplished wrestler. About 10 seconds into the bout, Nelson exploded with a head-and-arm, taking Guzzo to his back. After a few seconds, Guzzo was actively tapping out. I have seen a few matches and I have talked to others who have seen one or two themselves ... all of us, have never seen a tap out!

In the rule book, FILA nor NFHS, will you find that a wrestler can end a match by tap out ... but the ref's had little choice!

Chase was been an absolute beast in this tourney ... he's a great young man too!
