I know Campbell didn't do great this season but eventually Kolat has to make the jump up to the big schools right? Wisc should give him a look.

Hadn't seen anyone mention he is leaving Iowa St at the end of the semester http://www.flowrestling.org/article/49436-nathan-boston-leaving-iowa-state

Here's the SoCon bracket. Nathan has losses this season to Muldoon, Debien and Russell. Only the champ will make NCAAs. It's go time.

kill this thread.

BEAST

Update

Agreed it doesn't change match results and Saul was better wrestler but I don't think fans think that rationally in the heat of the match. I'm sure Chase will only use it as more fuel to stoke his fire for next season. Just like Saul did with his loss two years ago in the finals.

For reference here is the picture I was shown. No back points awarded. Guess Woodford fans disagreed and let the ref hear it. Nothing but respect for Saul. He's a great wrestler who exhibited nothing but exemplary sportsmanship his entire career. Best of luck to him at SIUE.

I just can't imagine witnessing what Union Co. has done in the last decade and have anything but admiration and respect for their coaches, kids and parents. They're far and away the best program in the state. It's damn impressive and others should take note on what it takes to build a top program even when you're a small school in a geographically isolated area.

He very well may win SoCon but he's gonna have to avenge a couple losses most likely to do so.

Another SoCon loss this past weekend. https://gocamels.com/news/2018/2/17/chattanooga-tops-wrestling-in-home-finale-27-6.aspx?path=wrestling

during late 90's and early 2000s this happened at Woodford almost every season. next man up. their B team would've finished top 15 at state several of those years.

gotta pass a background check, bub

A kid who won a region with only 5 wrestlers in the weight class doesn't deserve a top 8 seeding simply bc they're a region champ. has to be full body of work. Use Ranger's rankings.

I say just separate top 4. super easy. Beyond that I don't think people care much if #7 has to meet #8 in the 2nd round or the path to finals for the 8th ranked wrestler is a tad easier than the 6th ranked wrestler. That's where the argument of "settle it on the mat" comes into play. But having two top ranked guys meet before Semis is just not entertaining for fans and doesn't properly reward the few top ranked guys that accomplished the most to get there. And its easy to fix.

best of luck to ATM as he attempts to make it back into a D-1 lineup sometime soon, wherever that may be.

haven't seen SoCon rankings but he's recently lost to 2 guys in the conf.

two weeks later. still no word.

Boston went 1-1 this weekend in duals. Not much time left in the season. Losses to unranked wrestlers are adding up. Gotta win the So-Con for sure.

3 losses in a row, I believe. wonder if weight cutting is an issue?

thats pretty impressive.

I have no tie to any team involved but I think it should be re-seeded. Sectional champ doesn't mean much when some sectionals are so weak compared to other strong ones. Pick your top 4 teams and put them in diff pools. That is a very easy task that shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to decide. Then pick your next 4 and place them in appropriate pools making sure to separate teams from same sectional. After that blind draw in the rest of the teams. Seems most fair and the semis will be worth watching instead of a team winning a dual 51-12. Giving a team an easier path because of where they are located geographically in the state (how Sectionals are determined) instead of based on performance and resume is a tough thing to defend but I guess that's what the coaches prefer for now.

Is Tylan Tucker injured? He's the 126 top dog and I don't see anyone knockin him off the top his senior year.

From flo preview of this weekend's dual with Okie St.

I assumed it was eligibility too. Rooting for him to make it back in lineup. Kid has worked really hard and I'd hate to see it end like this.
