Where did he move from? He is very impressive.

He's wrestles for Parkersburg WV. Until now, WV never fielded a Freestyle team so Braxton would wrestle for Ohio. He has done this for years. He and my son were on the same Schoolboy team 3 years ago and he was throwing kids all over the place back then also. Very nice kid a nice family

WV does not take a team to the national dual tourney so he has jumped on the Ohio Schoolboy and Cadet dual teams. The rule is that if you compete for a state at the duals then you
must compete for that state at Fargo.

This created a little controversy as NJ tried to DQ him last year as he competed initially for WV and had to switch 1/2 way through the tourney.

He was recovering from ACL repair this year and didn't go to the duals with Ohio so he is competing with the WV NAT. TEAM

Semifinals

160
David Carr Massillon, OH (Ohio) vs Joe Lee Evansville, IN (Indiana)

bucksman · #37 07-17-17, 03:46 PM

Ohio's Junior freestyle team will have two more guaranteed All-American finishers with Hoskins facing Tagg and McCloud facing Ben Smith in con-12 matches. Hoskins lost 16-14 to McKee in the quarter, while McCloud lost 7-6 to Duggan (both McKee and Duggan are top 100 c/o 2018 kids, Hoskins was ranked higher than McKee in the grade level).

Six other Ohio wrestlers have advanced to a con-12 bout:

Cardello coming off a loss to Ty Smith of Nevada faces Ben Kamali of Michigan, Kamali beat Cardello for 7th at the Super 32 Challenge in the fall

D'Emilio lost to 2x Cadet FS runner-up Ridge Lovett of Idaho in the round of 16, will face New Jersey's Patrick Glory
**Hoskins and D'Emilio both were Junior free All-Americans last year**

Kharchla most recently beat PA state champ Edmund Ruth to reach a con-12 match against Minnesota state champ Kenny O'Neil, who had upset Andrew Merola in the round of 16

Marcelli was pinned by Indiana state runner-up Lucas Davison, a past Cadet free runner-up, in the quarters. He faces 2x Oklahoma state champ Kaufman in tonight to earn All-America honors.

Howard upset top 50-ish c/o 2018 prospect Joel Shapiro from Iowa 11-10 in the round of 16 before getting teched by now two-time Junior free All-American Matt Waddell in the quarters. He faces Campbell from Missouri tonight (the importance of the Shapiro upset is that Shapiro is in a con-12 with Nebraska enrollee Wolfe, who ended 16-17 ranked nationally)

Spaulding lost 5-1 to returning Junior freestyle All-American Brandon Metz in the quarterfinal, he faces Iowa state champ Aaron Costello (an Iowa enrollee, and top 100 c/o 2017 recruit) for All-American honors tonight.

Last year's Ohio JN FS team earned five AA's. It would be a disappointment not to get at least six given how this tournament has progressed.

bucksman · #38 07-17-17, 03:49 PM

As a note, the 11/12 Cadet freestyle AA for Ohio is a significant improvement from the 6/7 of last year.

Headache · #39 07-17-17, 07:36 PM

Mattin down 6-0 and storms back with a great comeback!! Keep it going Drew!!

ProV1 · #40 07-17-17, 09:03 PM

Not sure anybody is having a better tournament than Kharchla. After losing opener 12-11, he has 9 straight wins including about 3 state champs. The last was a Fargo champ last year. Will wrestle Joe Lee for 3rd. Darn impressive.

bucksman · #41 07-17-17, 10:20 PM

Ohio JN FS AA total is 8.
Mattin and Carr go for gold tomorrow afternoon from 3:00 ET
3/4 - McCloud, Khachla
5/6 - Howard, Spaulding
7/8 - Hoskins, Marcelli

Thanks for posting. I'm glad to see growth in girl's wrestling. This world needs more wrestlers.

Him vs Bergen Catholic's Shane Griffith at Flo's Who's #1? Would be my pick for the matchup after Carr got his invite. He looked really good and picked up two top level wins this week.

I have been following all of the action, including girls. Our club here in Texas had a bunch of kids in all 3 levels. Very interesting to see that a strong wrestling state like Ohio did very well in girls at the lower weights and nearly no participants in the upper weights.

My opinion is that heavier girls in state's that don't sponsor girls only tend to not continue. 160-200lbs girls vs 160-200lbs boys at age 14-18 is a bad match up for the girls, as well as some potential body issues having to wrestle boys every day. In Texas, bigger girls keep wrestling a higher rates because they have separate teams and tournaments.

California, Oregon, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas and Washington sponsor a girls state high school championship. Several, including Texas have full girls teams and schedules.

Example of quality is Samara Chavez from Texas is nearly untouchable in Texas and was a member of the World Cadet Team. Taryn Martin beat her 10-6 in the 94lbs div. Great job Taryn!

Maybe nobody cares, lol. I coach both girls and boys in FS/GR out here and just found it interesting.

falcons53 · #51 07-18-17, 05:37 PM

One more item maybe only I care about, in Girls Cadet California and Texas ran away from the field for 1st and 2nd. Ohio finished 9th with 2 champs (tied for most) and 1 runner-up. No Ohio wrestlers above the 144lbs weight class. Lower weights were nearly owned by Ohio. Finalists in 3 of the first 5 weight classes and 4 of the first 9. No Ohio entries in top 4 weight classes. Ohio had 4 placers. California 17 and Texas 10, but only 5 finalists and 3 champs combined. Ohio 2 champs and 3 finalists. Depth was the difference.

bucksman · #52 07-18-17, 07:32 PM

I'd say Carr picked up one TOP LEVEL win (Joe Lee in the semi) and two pretty good wins (Dow and Curry both being top 100 c/o 2018 kids) on his way to gold, and another solid win in Junior folk champ Yant (4x IA SP going to Northern Iowa). Just a matter of semantics though in terms of your view on Tyler Dow.

To be fair, the largest weight class for women in the Olympics is 165 lb, so why does high school have 200 lb?

The IOC is always 4 years away from dumping wrestling entirely. I wouldn't use them, or their designated weight classes, as a guide for anything.

If high schools offer girls' weight classes up to 200 lbs, and there are willing girls able to fill those classes, what's the problem?

I am 100% for women's wrestling and enjoyed watching Maroulis' gold medal run just as much as I did Snyder's.

But looking at the brackets for Fargo, do you really want to claim that the girls are filling out the 200 lb weight class? I think it was a 5 girl round robin at that weight...at the biggest national tournament.

"Howard upset Joel Shapiro and was teched by Matt Waddell" ..... Cody was down 8 or 9 -2 and he stormed back against Shapiro...He redeemed himself greatly against Waddell....by dismantling Waddell in the 5th place match 20-10...Howard was relentless....that is the hallmark of a winner....they say pressure burst pipes and Cody never took his foot off the gas pedal as his in your face style he pressured and blast doubled Waddell till he broke!!!

That was my point about states that sponsor vs those that don't. Almost all of the upper weight girls were from states that sponsor girls only divisions. It is the chicken or the egg argument. If more states sponsored, especially OH, PA, IL, etc where wrestling is bigger, you would see an increase in my opinion.
