'26 Final X, 6/19, thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
79kg round two, Levi Haines vs. Chance Marstellar (Haines leads the series 1-0)
We're underway. Stoppage for Haines passivity warning at 5:16. They restart and Marstellar reaches in but he can't get to Haines. MArstellar drops in on a low single and is trying to finish it but Haines locks in behind him and is up over Marstellar's shoulder as they roll through and continue to scramble and it leads to a stalemate. Somehow Marstellar got two out of that. Not entirely sure when or how. Penn State corner is challenging it. Upon review, it is two exposures for Marstellar. No indisputable evidence to overturn it. So now it's 3-0 Marstellar at 4:30.
They restart and Haines is a bit more active now. He shoots in on the edge but can't get there as they circle back to center. Stoppage for Marstellar to be warned for passivity as Marstellar grabs at his ribs again. They restart and levi drops in on a leg and is working for and gets two before the horn to make it 3-2 after one.
Marstellar leads Haines 3-2 after one. Marstellar looks pretty tired as Haines takes instruction from Casey Cunningham and Jake Varner.
BREAK ENDS
We are back underway in the second period. Marstellar shoots but Haines fends it off. Marstellar backs away and grabs his ribs and needs a medical stoppage at 2:31 in the second period. Medical time is now underway.
Back in action and Levi shoots quickly and blows through a shot for two and two to take a 6-3 lead at 2:05. And a stalemate is called at 2:01. Marstellar shoots and Haines cirlces away from it with 1:14 to go. Neutral with under :50 to go. Marstellar shoots and Haines blocks down and fends it off. There's :30 to go. That's it
Haines d. Marstellar 6-3, wins series 2-0 and is headed back to Worlds.

Henckel will be 21 before the season starts wild
Dude is a fking beast!
Chance has never wore pants he didn’t have to cuff.
A look at the men's freestyle Senior Worlds Team USA so far

79 kilograms: Levi Haines
86 kilograms:
92 kilograms: Trent Hidlay
97 kilograms:
125 kilograms: Wyatt Hendrickson
Levi looked so good today. Chance was definitely not a 100% but I don’t think it would’ve mattered. He is such a great finisher and is brutal in the handfight
Just a simple shout-out to everyone posting today. I really appreciate it. Well done.
Oh I remember. It stops me in my tracks in disbelief every time I think of it.
Here's Haines' winning four-point move:
Levi looks like he's gotten taller . He's gonna be an 86 I think now. I was leaning towards him cutting to 74 but not anymore
Thank you Mr. Pickel anytime I see a post with Lewans name in it I start falling asleep.
And another blood stoppage. I missed where the clock was, but there's still about 40-50 seconds left in the first period.
I just want to point out one more time what a great freestyle season Joe Sealey had this year. He beat Carr and only lost to Green 3-2 at the open. His worst loss by far was to Jayden James
Other than Taylor Swift that's the kind of district I need to move to
In other sporting news, they just played the Scottish National Anthem. I didn't know there were so many words for "alcohol".
Hopefully Green is on PEDs, otherwise we are not in a good position at 74KG.
Wow. Zain is a Freaking Beast. Kids should Love to be trained by him in the NLWC. Very technical as well.
What happened to Carr this year? He is not close to the guy he was last year. It’s strange. I wonder what’s going on?
If Blaze wrestled for Iowa, he wouldn’t be in Final X.Good thing he wrestles for Penn st or it would be he should be at Iowa
Holy crap: Carr just took Green down and then got back to back laces to take a 6-5 lead with :45 to wrestle. Wow.
Carr beats Green 6-5 and we'll have three matches at 74kg.
