Any predictions for the GMVWA?

Agree 100% about Bo he mowed through everyone with ease. Taylor at 112 was equally impressive as he was untested throughout the tourney over some tough competitors
I think Newburg was deserving because he wrestled great and shocked me with his Semi final win over what looked like a disenchanted version of the Kyle Ryan I am used to seeing.
The D3 state final at 152 looks like it will be very exciting with DeHart and Fullenkamp.
Piqua's Bryant is a beast as is Evans he scored when he felt like it.
I was surprised at how McIntire took it to Shaw at 215 he looked great on his feet but man he looks small for 215!
All in all it was a solid tourney I like the Nutter Center for the event all though the staff needs to relax a little and thank you to the Graham coaches on day 1 for taking charge of calling out matches and getting kids on mats b/c the staff there was lagging a little.......Also very nice tribute to a fallen brother before the finals Sgt. Dennis Hansen RIP
 
Bo did not win OW because 112 had 6 or 7 returning SQs, plus apparently two great freshmen in Bowsier (KR) and Kowal (Princeton).

Bo is at 145....there is separate OW for 145-285. Taylor did look ...outstanding. Earned his OW. In finals Jordan had Kooser in banana splitz move was crazy....score end of 1st 15-2 or so. Take down few seconds or so in 2nd.....TF. He looked like he did not break a sweat. 145 and 152 were the deepest as far as 145-285 classes go.
"disenchanted version of the Kyle Ryan " is perfect description. Took some shock off Newbury's win. Ryan acted as if the loss didn't bother him. I hope to see the real Ryan soon.

Nut House better spot...parking, close to highway, restaurants close too and no benches. Screen was a joke to follow. I sat in section 203. couldn't read team scores because of angle.

Newburg did not get taken down the whole tournament. I would say that is pretty outstanding!

I couldn't believe what I was seeing in that match. Newburg danced around Ryan like he was standing still. He has a lightening quick shot for a big kid. The crowd really appreciated his effort, too.

not true...Ryan took him down once...score 7-4

Yes he did moved much better than Ryan..Ryan didn't look his usual aggressive self. Newbury did earn his win not saying that.

Newbury scores 1:14, 3:00, 6-2, 7-4 and 3-2
B. Jordan 1:30,1:33,1:41, 22-6tf and 17-2tf all eight opponents points escapes.

Rose :20,1:07,1:58, 1:28 and 8-0.
Both just overwhelmed everyone they wrestled.

Newbury just wasn't as impressive from what I saw. His final was late TD in First...Brandt escapes...Escapes by each in 2 & 3rd...filled by very few shots and lots of head ties.

McIntosh-Shaw play by play couldn't quote exactly. McIntosh put Shaw on his back 2x ...one a 4pt throw...Shaw scored 1 TD and 2 escapes. McIntosh was more aggressive and dominated.

Thats not true. NEWBURG took Ryan down 3 times and let him up three times then both got a stalling point...7-4. Newburg dominated. Anyone who beats a defending runner-up and former champ is deserving of OW.
 
My memory recalls a single leg up high and trip for TD. Maybe that was Toal match. Ryan looked gassed. Cole-Young(KR) had Ryan on ropes for awhile. Ryan caught him for BIG move and stuck him. Either way ....Being the most surprising champion gets the award? Upsets by seeding or placers.

Then Micah should have gotten 140 and under ow. MJ beat 3 state placers had 9 second pin to go with 1:24. Taylor won because he outclassed his opponents.

So how does it go?
out·stand·ing –adjective
1.prominent; conspicuous(means stands out); striking: an outstanding example of courage.
2.marked by superiority or distinction; excellent; distinguished: an outstanding student.

Bo Jordan, Kyle Bryant, , Evans, Travis McIntosh and Kyle Rose stood out and were superior wrestlers. Jordan running a power half to Kooser's leg .. from stand position the rolled him to put him in the Splitz..Guillotine attempt but stopped not to snap Kooser's arm ...outstanding. Bryant stacking Coyle...outstanding. Evans well he just was crazy good...Eshelman worked hard not to get pinned by Huston. McIntosh throwing Shaw....outstanding. Rose sweeping single at will Big guy with small guy moves....outstanding. Each of these guys won their matches impressively.

Matt Stephens was very dominate until he gave up a late TD in finals.

Newbury won his matches but in an outstanding way? some yes and some no. But by no mistake I think him winning was a fluke. He wrestled to win and did. So I'm not wanting to disrespect the guy at all.
 
Swowca actually looks tougher than Gmvwa this year apart from a few weights and Graham

112 was one of those weights. More State Qualifiers and Placers @ GMVWA, and 2 unseeded freshman tournament placers. What a meat-grinder! And Taylor STILL blew away the field. Definitely my choice for Most Outstanding Wrestler.
 
Does Anybody Know What Up With 160 Jordan? Didnt C Him At Gmvwa Would Have Liked To Seen Him And Bryant Wrestle....

another poster (Guillotine) state I. Jordan had pulled groin and R. Mannier broken hand is why no 160 of late. Yes a match I was hoping to see,too.
