The match was very close. With 14 seconds remaining, Elliott shot a single leg and secured the leg. He hung on until he was called for a stalemate. Amazingly, there was still 9 seconds left in the match. Either a very quick shot, an even quicker stalemate or a sever malfunction of the clock which neither official caught. I will let those in attendance decide for themselves.

All three of these young men are very good wrestlers and it would be nice to see the State use a seeding criteria to separate brackets like theirs in the future. Two of them were returning State finalist and Allen a returning State placer. Yet all were on the same half of the bracket.
