Leonidas 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Blake gamble looked good at regionals, he would have pretty well dominated the finals match had he not got caught in a bad situation for a few second but he fought through and ended up winning pretty decisively.. His semis match with the bourbon co kid was match of the day hands down, went through sudden victory and the 2 thirty second periods. It was a absolute dog fight for 8 mins..

uk_rebel33 4 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Shout out to 7th grader Brent Hudgins from Harrison for showing some heart and fight in placing 4th in 113lb class. Not to mention he was giving up almost 35lbs. Way to wrestle kid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
119Rider 61 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Uk_rebel, if he was giving up that much weight I don't think he would be eligible for the weight class would he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 You are allowed to bump up one weight class and technically, 113 is only one weight class up from 106. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesdad 73 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Blake wrestled a pretty solid tourney at regions but he has been wrestling great all year. Brent Hudgins is a tough kid and he should be proud for placing at 113. Shoot I don't even have any affiliation with him and I'm proud if the kid. Great job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
119Rider 61 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 I know they can bump up but thought there was a minimum weight he must make to be eligible. If he is giving up that much weight plus the 2 pound allowance. That is quite significant. Kid must be pretty talented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluesdad 73 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Someone I talked to thought it was a 88lb minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

119Rider 61 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Did not know that heavy, thanks. What about 113? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coachteater 70 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Carr absolutely dominated and I can see him winning it all. Too bad I don't see him being here longer then a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heavy83 15 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 119 technically no as your allowed to bump 1 wt class but hopefully coaches don't let it get out of hand for safety reasons I can see in dual situations when you know other team has no 113 but an individual bracket must think safety first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjs4470 103 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Shout out to 7th grader Brent Hudgins from Harrison for showing some heart and fight in placing 4th in 113lb class. Not to mention he was giving up almost 35lbs. Way to wrestle kid! Wow....he didn't even place at middle school state...I think he went 1-2. He wrestled middle school state at 80lbs. That's a ton of weight to give up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gameface 253 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Id like to give a shout out to Mason Smith. I had the chance to watch him win the Middle School State Championships and earn MOW last weekend. Then come to Region 6 this weekend and watch him pin Vaske of Boone, upset last year state placer Scaggs by pinning him, then beat Krebs in the finals with ,what I thought ,was the best finals match of the day. All 3 wrestlers he beat are headed to state as the 2,3 and 4. The kids a class act on and off the mat. Good luck to him and all these dedicated wrestlers at State this weekend! This is going to be a great show!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
119Rider 61 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks heavy. That's what I was kind of thinking, as a coach myself I don't know if I could put a kid in at that weight to compete with the size of wrestlers today. Props to him if he can get it done at this level with that disadvantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarzan 21 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Great tournament for Mason he handled Skaggs easily and held on to beat Krebs in a very good match , he has experience on a bigger stage and should handle the pressure of HS state easily for an eigth grader .

8224 17 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Someone I talked to thought it was a 88lb minimum. That guy would have been right if it was 1989. Been a very long time since that was a rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesdad 73 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 That guy would have been right if it was 1989. Been a very long time since that was a rule. I know I didn't have a clue. I just over heard someone saying it. Then I ask them what about it and he said he wasn't sure but thought he had heard that somewhere before. I guess he heard it a while back...lol.

firemans34 33 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Carr was pinned at regionals. Ref was out of position and missed it. He came back and looked good, but dominated is strong. I've seen him have a handful of very close matches this season. Props to him for finding a way to win, but he's got his hands full with Beeler and Austin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen him have a handful of very close matches this season. Props to him for finding a way to win, but he's got his hands full with Beeler and Austin Him may have been pinned, but it was fast. At that point he was well in control and looked to just get a little sloppy for a moment. I don't think by any means he won't have a tough time, but I do think he has a shot at winning it.

cmccoy 4 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Tristin Garcia from Male was a runner-up. It is a great class. To bad we won't get to see them all by the time they are seniors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coachteater 70 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 My guess is that he is probably thinking we will see the same thing happen that we did last year. Ms move in and wrestle hs because they can't do it in his home state, then move back once the season is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
