Gotta pass the test. He knew the consequences
Junior in hs Morgan Turner just made the women’s senior team. Pretty awesome
Brooks is no doubt incredible. Being off the mat for 2 years is a long time though. I’m definitely interested to see how he comes back
61kg round three Marcus Blaze vs. Jax Forrest
Blaze is in a high crotch shot off the whistle but Forrest locks up a cradle and they go rolling off the edge and it leads to a Forrest step out and 1-0 lead. Forrest got poked in the eye off the restart. Back to action at 5:20. Another stoppage at 5:10. Blaze warned for passivity at 5:48. Blaze with a run around attempt at 4:15 but Forrest fends it off. Stalemate at 3:55. Blaze now has underhooks but Forrest goes to a knee and stalemate at 3:24. Blaze tries a late run around but can't. And that's the period.
1-0 Forrest on a step out after one.

BREAK ENDS
Both are aggressive off the whistle but it leads to no scoring. Blaze put back on the clock at 2:24. Blaze drops on a single, scramble ensues, and Blaze gets two exposures with :02 left on the shot clock for a 2-1 led and then a gut wrench off the edge for a 4-1 lead at 1:43. Wow. Forrest aggressive off the restart but Blaze fends it off at 1:26. Blaze gets a point for two hands on the head by Forrest. It's now 5-1. That's the score at 1:15 in favor of Blaze. Forrest in deep on a single and Blaze skips out of it. And now the stream has frozen at :58! Oh no! It's back and 5-1 Blaze still at :20. Same at :10. One point for Forrest for evading on Blaze at :08. That's it.
Blaze d. Forrest 5-2

Blaze d. Forrest 5-2
****. YES. DT propaganda battle takes a hit!
Not that big of a deal beating a mere stripling who should still be in high school
NLWC has 4 guys on the team with Dake to come. Having half the spots is pretty decent I would say
What a match. That pace and blaze and taking any losses for a long time.
That one felt good! The only problem is that he didn't do it in the way that anonymous dude wanted, so, he will have one less fan moving forward.
Blaze is a month younger than Jax I think.
While we want all PSU guys to win, with only Dake’s match to go…we dun good!
Used to love ya DT. Now I love beating you.
Alright, that's enough of a delay for the last match of the night, USA Wrestling and Flo..
That finish by Blaze was high level. I thought he was in trouble when Jax sat the corner but Marcus was able to square up and get his head in the knee. Elite stuff against one of the best scramblers in the sport
Part of me feels bad for the PSU guys, I just think they'd be a lot better if they had the best coach.
Imagine if Barr didn't get hurt, I'd give him a better than average shot against Hidlay.
