Blaze is Simply Better. Beat Jax all through HS as well several times
'26 Final X, 6/19, thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
A couple years ago the rule was changed and you can't finish a move anymore in the next area code. Zahid established he wasn't going over from the move that occurred in bounds. He took multiple steps and stayed up. It was the right call. I would like to say UsaW scratched DT back again but that wasn't the case here.
Blaze had 2 for sure and if it was challenged it would've been called but there was no sense in doing that and giving Jax a break

You are trying to hang on to the differences rather than acknowledge the similarities.
If your plan is to do nothing until the last minute of a match before you become offensive, you aren't the better wrestler...you are hoping to get lucky.
If Zahid was a few inches shorter, Kyle gets 4 there.
But yeah, that’s my understanding of the newish rule.
You guys are stuck on stupid. They are obviously miles apart generally which is what everyone here continues to stress without acknowledging the fact that his conservative style and waiting to score at the last second is how Lewan would pull off big wins when he was outmatched...not outmatched...Lewan obviously had the skill and athleticism to beat almost anyone...he was just so risk averse he defaulted to defense until the last minute of the match. I don't think Blaze is outmatched against anyone but the risk averse nature will continue to trip him up until he opens up more. The only correct strategy when outmatched is to attempt the squeaker but I don't think that ever applies to Marcus.

The U.S.’s best soccer player (Pusilic) is also from District 3, BTW.
Maybe Levi, Chance and Christian will all have a beer at Evergrain in Camp Hill tonight.

Gang: Think it’s clear there’s going to be no agreement here. If we can wrap it up either way by the start of round two that’d be great. And in the spirit of a conversation starter, which match(s) do you have going three?
I’m pondering at the moment beyond Jax/Blaze being a for sure yes for me and Haines/Marstellar being an absolutely not.

I think Dake takes it to 3, Carr definitely can too. Luke could but just can’t give up a single td.
Agree on Levi—I was worried about the Chance matchup as recently as 2pm today, but much less so now. He is a master at adjustments but you can’t fix a broken gas tank so quickly.
Nor ribs, if they were truly hurt, which they looked to be in my completely irrelevant medical opinion.
I say this only because I've had to read you defending your position for 3 pages. But comparing Blaze to Lewan is moronic.
Hey that’s my old stomping ground You don’t prefer “macadam”to “concrete” do you?
Trying to be nice, but...F Yeah Marcus Blaze! Defense is beyond amazing!
I have to say, thank you very much for your posting. Currently in bed at home after getting absolutely trampled by a Draft yesterday. 2 broken ribs, but I'm good. Fking cats! Spooked my horse yesterday.
Dang! I picture you laying in bed sweating and calmly asking for a badge. I’m your daisy!
Lewan scored bonus points in 20 out of 25 seasons. Totally comparable.
Damn! Sorry to read this. Thanks for being here and following along and hope you heal up quickly.
I had to google what a draft was , damn that can’t feel good. I personally stay a good ways back from anything that large
125 kilograms round two: Wyatt Hendrickson vs. Mason Parris (Hendrickson leads 1-0)
Hendrickson is quickly in on a leg and finishes the shot for a takedown and 2-0 lead less than :30 seconds in. He's trying to gut wrench Parris but a stalemate is called before that. Hendrickson is on a low left single again but Parris fends it off long enough to get a stalemate at 4:53. Parris shoots on a single of his own and drives Hendrickson off the mat for a push out to make it 2-1 Hendrickson at 4:40. Parris shoots at 4:05 but Hendrickson blocks it off before a stalemate at 3:55. Parris drops on a single and is working through it by coming through Hendrickson's legs but Hendrickson has a foot as they go off the edge. Parris gets three out of it (two exposure and step out) to go up 3-2 but David Taylor tosses his brick. Upon review, Hendrickson gets a point for grounded out of bounds and Parris' corner is cautioned. The correct score now is 2-1 Hendrickson at 3:15.
They're back underway and there's no scoring. 3-1 Hendrickson after one.

He's in Final X. And, you? You're on your Brother word processor.
If this ends up being true it’ll be pretty damn funny.
ps. I had no idea how big horses really were til my daughter did therapeutic riding as a child. There was a wonderful draft named “Niles”.

BREAK ENDS
We're back underway. Parris counter shoots and gets in on a single and Hendickson is holding the ankle leading to a stalemate. Michigan corner is NOT happy again. It's 3-1 Hendrickson now with 2:05 left. Parris shots, Hendrickson blocks, and drops in on an ankle himself and is trying to come around for a takedown and gets two for a 5-1 lead before a stalemate at 1:25. ANd now there is blood time for Parris.
We're now back to action. Parris shoots but Hendrickson blocks it off. Parris back to back shots and neither get home. Another shot for Parris and Hendrickson blocks it off leading to a stalemate at 1:00. Parris gets in on a leg again but no further and it's a stalemate at :43. And another stopage at :31. Parris shoots but Hendrickson counter shoots and gets a takedown for a 7-1 lead at :21. Stalemate at :12. That'll do it. Parris rolled Hendrickson late after the whistle and Hendickson is shaken up and actually fell to the mat but seems to be OK as they raise his arm.
Hendrickson d. Parris 7-1, wins 125kg series 2-0, makes Team USA

I am unbelievably and irrationally scared of horses. Huge teeth, a kick that can kill, and temperamental.
I l have a Roku TV (which I highly recommend). No issues.
Let me very polite and explain life to you here. You are absolutely no one. No one knows you, but your own words present you as a wrestle office mado. You are not.
That said. And trust me on this little bit. If you continue your all knowing God Complex, you will be gone.
Here's a simply suggestion. Like the movie Road House, be nice. Or, F off.
Levi vs Chance is an all PIAA District 3 matchup. Take that WPIAL!
Rolling with the South Central!
No district will have as many NCAA champs as WPIAL does.
