It is unfortunate for Goddard that Fisher and Beard are unable to participate.

Aquinas ran into some illness and injury problems too this week with three wrestlers out of this tournament. Aquinas is wrestling open in 103, 119 and 125 with Jim Bryant, Connor McCarthy and Jake Walker all out this week. These three all placed 2nd at Maize and have all scored well at tournaments this year.

When we left after my son's heavyweight match, I believe the score was very close with Goddard at 105 and Aquinas at 104.5. Aquinas did have 10 of their 11 wrestlers still on the frontside going into the semifinal round this morning. I am not sure how many are still on the frontside for Goddard.

Aquinas wrestlers still in tournament:

112 Joe Rausch - has won his first wrestleback match

The following Aquinas wrestlers are in the semifinals:

130 Bo Noles
135 Phillip Henes
140 Skylar Scott
145 Mark Millstead
152 Scott Markey
160 Paul Markey
171 RJ Nill
189 Jed Mamie
215 Mike Hammer
285 Jacob Nowak

I do not really know how the other teams or individuals fared. I did not hear of any upsets.
