Some of the scores are very misleading as some of the matches were closer than indicated. I know that 125, 174 and 184 were all closer than what the score shows from a competitive standpoint.
Wall at 125 appeared to have a takedown early on in the match, but it wasn't rewarded.
Chenoweth was only down 8-5 early in the 3rd following an escape, but got caught in a funky scramble and gave up the 2 and 3nf. There was a point where he reversed and had Hess on his back, but alas no points given. It was a pretty good match with some great scrambles.
Johnson had a very questionable call go against him on a peterson granby. Didn't look like anything was secure but Meredith got 2 reverse and 2 nf criteria. Meredith got a takedown in the 3rd to make it 9-6 as a final.
Other notes:
Duffendack did a pretty good job early with Jones, but just gave up a situation where he got nabbed into a tight cradle from neutral and couldn't break the hands before the fall.
McGrew got put in a banana split for the fall, and I'm hurting from it.
Jenlink looks like a 184lb guy compared to Leadingfox. Love the heart and commitment to the sport he has, but seems very small at HWT.
