Beast of the East 08

[385 109]

disappointing first loss for Josh Johnson, but you cant win em all i guess.

do they place just the top 8? or does it go farther back?

[385 109]

im fairly sure its top 12...

wow, i had no idea beast of the east was so big. 64 MAN BRACKETS!!! thats rediculous for me to even think about how great it would feel to win a competition like that. especially with the competition being so tough. how did the idea of this tournament get started? and when? does anyone know for sure?

now you know why we've been making such a big deal over it and all these kids being seeded so high. and how i wish Harrison Courtney could attend this tournament.

[385 109]

the brackets say that they only place through top 8...

[385 109]

So far today.

John Fahy  2-0

Myron Bradbury  2-0

Brad Hitchings    1st rd. bye

Josh Johnson 1-0

it says on the brackets that Bradbury had a first round bye, then won 5-4

yeah i knew it was a huge tournament, i just didnt know it was this huge. placing in that tournament has got to get anyone recognition.

[385 109]

tough match coming up for Josh Johnson.

but then again im sure every match here is tough for everyone. this tournament is so insane. even the #1 seeded returning champions arent dominating everyone like many of us would expect. returning second placer #1 seed at 130 Chris Villalonga only won his second match 9-0...

i bet its absolutely crazy being at this tournament

i thought they were done for the day? let us now how they do.

[myGSP 4]

Bradbury W 4-2

Johnson L 10-2 Out

[385 109]

Bradbury W 4-2

Johnson L 10-2 Out

disappointing that the wrestler we had seeded highest was the first to be eliminated, but still 2-2 at the beast of the east is nothing to be ashamed of, Johnson will have another shot at it.

good job to all of these kids.

i predict him going undefeated through high school. but i really hope that he doesn't fall into the Travis Sullivan trap and stay at 103 for 65984456513264 years... i want to see him lift weights, get stronger, and compete at 125 in a couple years. then see how he can do at the collegiate level.

I get the feeling he has confidence enough in his abilities to move on up the ladder and not shrink himself down year after year.

so do I. at least i really really hope so.

also, does anybody know why woodford didn't have any kids attending the beast? just imagine if Harrison Courtney went up there and dominated this tournament. Think of how that would draw attention to Ky, or at least to Harrison

beast of the east has a lot of good competition. i dont see harrison dominating his way through the tournament. hes good, but to say hes far above the rest of the east coast is a huge statement.

god those are painful

hey, let a kid dream every once in a while! i was just sitting here imagining him pinning his way through the 64 man bracket! how awesome would that be!?!

i doubt that anyone has ever done this to be honest. just daydreaming. if he did this on top of being a 4x state champion, he could get a scholarship to any school he wanted.

im pretty positive the scholorships hes already getting will suffice for him just fine as long as he keeps his head on straight. he should go far in life with the lessons he has learned wrestling, and the future its setting up for him already.
