Friday at Hershey! Quarterfinals and semis...

[bcor]

Jacob Craig, 220# from Berlin, advances to 4th consi round ...

Rizzo vs Laytos in the 220# final ... clash of State Champs in their Senior prime!

[bcor]

HWT can still be a 1-2-3 finish for SW Region ... Grandelis will face his 3rd regional champ in the final (whoever wins the Garry / Mironenko match) ... and Hixson advances to the 4th consi round!

Ouch ... Garry loses, 6-3 TB (whatever that means, I assume it's same thing as saying 6-3 OT?) ... so SW can only finish 1+3+5 now ... as Garry will face Hixson in 4th consi round tonight ...

So many little scoring wrinkles ... what's it mean when a match score says "5-0 TB" ???

Was in the first round of the tiebreaker (neutral position), and a wrestler must have gotten a takedown to the other guys back, and got a 5-count to make it 5-0 when it ended. Remember in OT they let you work for the pin before stopping the match.

Hixson beats Garry to advance to 3rd Place final match!

Has to be rare for a 1st round loser to wrestle all the way to the 3rd place final match ... but that's what Jacob Craig has done with a 2-0 win in the 4th consi round!

And probably even rarer is that that will be rematch vs Matt Mongera, to whom he lost 10-2 in the prelim!

bcor, I do believe Tyler Chesney from NBC lost his first match at States a few years back and ended up in third place. That does seem pretty rare, though.

Ditto for Jake Strayer, in between his championships at 103 and 125

How is team scoring done for this tourny?

Looks like teams can get 1 point? even 1/2 points?
