2 point font will be need for the back of the singlet.
In the last seconds he tried a flying squirrel and landed awkwardly with his foot bent outward, tweaking his knee badly. Hopefully the injury isn't too bad. Sammy did look smaller than all his opponents. I think he will need to grow into a full-sized 57kg.
His perspective, also, is really nice to hear (no opponent cares if you have the flu, he has to get better at folkstyle b/c those are the rules, crediting his coaches and Davino, glory to Jesus Christ, etc)
Agree, but factual or not, the flu at NCAAs statement didn't come across real well IMO. Could be construed by some as excuse-ish. Further, his bout with Davino at NCAAs was very similar to the previous two matches. FWIW.
"I'm worried that Blaze's reference to the Savior didn't roll off the tongue quite as smoothly as his teammates. That, and his nasty tobacco chewing habit, could signal that he's a bad fit for team culture."

He did look much smaller. He’s got time to grow and hopefully he will be a career 125
Shepherd up on Sledpsahsdjiahgdski 7-0 at the break
Burnett has really improved in the last year. He looks good. Cortez was in grey shirt last year where he went 25-5 the announcers said. Burnett still has a year of high school
4-1 win for Cortez. Hard fought. Burnett controlled much of the hand fight but couldn’t break through. Now he has to go to the WTT

Cortez wins 4-1 with a no time left TD off hail Mary attempt by Burnett
Shepherd wins via Injury default but was up 9-2. Sledpbhahsfski TF'd him earlier in the tourney.
Shepherd takes 3rd.

Karenbauer went 2-2 with no time left to beat K. Bassett 11-9 after a failed Bassett challenge.
I assume that SS is a high school sophomore who has aged out of U17s or else he’d be at 55kg U17…?
Herring up 5-2 at the break over Dekraker. They had a great 12-10 match earlier
Dekraker takes this one also. 6-5
Dekraker takes this one also. 6-5
Correct. He will be a junior in hs this coming season. He is a first year u20 after winning back to back U17 world titles
He jumped from 106 to 120 this HS season, so he probably still has some good weight to put on for 125/57kg.
Salah Tsarni vs Mario Hutcherson is a fire U17 final! 2 super elite kids
Hutcherson scores a td with :17 left to take the lead. He wins match 1 4-4 on criteria

too many good matches on at the same time. James on deck, Cunningham in the hole on 3
Hutcherson beats Sarni (Blair Academy) 4-4 O'Farrill with the 14-4 TF
Hutcherson beats Sarni (Blair Academy) 4-4 O'Farrill with the 14-4 TF
Robideau beats Mendoza 8-2. Scored a quick 8 points and shut it down.
US officiating is still pathetic. Robideau/Mendoza went the entire 2nd period with no scoring yet no one was put on the clock.
Here we go! Jayden James vs Haakon Peterson
James with a quick step out. 1-0
James with a down block go behind for 2. 3-0
step out James. 4-0
4-0 at the break. First time all tournament James has reached the 2nd period
TD James. 6-0.
Shot clock point James. 7-0
James with another Td off a nice double. 9-0
9-1 win for James. KD challenged at the end as James almost scored a td at the buzzer. Challenge lost so Peterson got his only point. Peterson wrestled well but had absolutely nothing for James. Never came close to scoring. James is just on another level. Super impressive considering I think he’s still just 17.

Daniel Heiser got teched by Asher first round and came all the way back for 3rd! Impressive
James must be gassing. Took him almost 15 seconds to score.
James up 4-0 at the break. Haakon Peterson (askren) is really good
James wins 9-1

With 11 first-period techs.
James' corner really challenged a last second takedown up 9-0 
Asher vs Ryan Burton coming up next
Burton with the first td. 2-0 Burton
Asher with a massive crotch lift for 4!! He was sooo close to giving up a Td but instead countered for 4. Challenge by Burton
Challenge won. 4-4 now. Burton got the td before Asher got his 4. Asher up on criteria
4-4 at the break
Burton gets 4 on the edge but I think it was 2 at best. Corner should challenge but I don’t think they are going to. Weird
Step out Burton. 9-4
Burton wins 9-4
Asher is way too counter dependent. He needs to work on his own offense
Smart match by Burton. He limited the exchanges and Asher couldn’t generate any offense. No urgency either. Down 9-4 and he didn’t attack in the last :30.

Not a bad tournament for Asher, Burton seems like a bad matchup for him though.
I also don't think Asher has a ton of free experience.

When your offense consists of letting kids get to your legs so you can sit the corner and then horse them over… you will have problems with very good wrestlers who you can’t horse over or sit the corner
