Hall with a great day. Big win over over Kennedy who iowa fans think is the second coming of the bull. I hope Hall makes it to the title so he can get to feel what it’s like to wrestle O’toole. It won’t be pretty but it’d be a win if he can just Keep him from bonus.
Cardinale dominated his way there. Ayala on the other side has looked great as a rsFr. With Spencer Lee opting out of this season, which sucks so bad, I assume Ayala’s rs will be pulled.
Wolfgram was a little disappointing. As was Roberts and titus.

Not a bad day tho. Wish Beard would transfer here lol. Would look great in the old gold and blue.

Cardinale won 9-4 and is in the finals vs #2 seed P.McKee of Minnesota.

[aacoach61]

Peyton Hall with a decisive MD 13-5 v. North Dakota State’s Luke Weber in semifinals. Will face #1 seed Keegan O’toole of Missouri in the championship bout at 165.

Cardinale was ranked #7 at 125 by Flo coming into the Scuffle.

Hall was ranked #12 by Flo at 165 and majored #7 Weber. His finals opponent O’toole is ranked #3 despite being a freshman.

7pm finals.

Bad News: Killian had to default the championship finals due to his shoulder.

Good News: Flo announcers just said that the 165 finals with Peyton Hall is the most anticipated finals matchup.

For the record, take the team rankings at the end of the list with a grain of salt. That’s not Penn State’s or Oklahoma States first teams at 15th and 21st place….

Well that sucks about Cardinale. I think he wins if he could wrestle. Anyone with half a brain knew Hall was in for a baptism by fire. I was hoping he just wouldn’t get pinned or majored. He succeeded in one. He proved tho he’s right with the back end of AA status. There’s three or four guys he probably can’t compete with right now at his weight.

Im not sure if it’s a good showing or not just going of those rankings. A lot of teams brought only backups and some half and half. Not a bad day tho.

Despite an opening takedown, Peyton ran into a buzz saw in the form of O’Toole, a former world junior champion, and falls 13-4 in the championship finals.

At least we seem to be getting back into the conversation.

[Letsgooo]

Yeah just an insanely hard matchup for Hall. I don’t think anyone beats O’toole this year. Hall is so heavy on his left leg that it’s just there to be grabbed. Usually he can out scrambled most guys. That’s not going to happen with O’toole.

[Letsgooo]

Sucks Cardinale was a MF. I think he wins the whole thing
