I don't know much about ridge but my nephew who is on the team made it sound like it isn't going to be a good one for North Stars part.

Aoki, lets look at it this way, Fritch over Brett was an upset in my mind even with Brett moving up. Easter would have came away with 6. Warren is a pretty good wrestler IMO so he had the potential to get 6. Now heres my second point Bedford bumped up anticipating those 3 forfeits. That changes the whole complexion of the match and where kids wrestled. If NS and Bedford wrestle again im still going to pick Bedford. Blame it on the forfeits all you want but at the end of the day NS lost.

No matter how you look at it the forfeights were a huge contribution to the loss. Chances are if North Star had kids in those weights Bedford wouldn't of walked away with the win. Give credit to North Star for keeping it so close while missing 3 wrestlers.

I respect this, but I don't know how much of an upset it was, fritch and Brett are both championship caliber in my eyes after seeing them last night. Warren might be good but tell me this, he would have matched up against lepley, he had to get a major nothing less because the score was 32-28 North Star, it is to my understanding that lepley is a key wrestler for North Star. Do you think warren was enough to major lepley let alone beat him at all? Not being a smarta** just truly asking for an opinion.

Isn't Lepley a couple weights above Warren or is there another Lepley boy?

Bedford gave up a ff too. So really 2 ff advantage for Bed not 3. Do t know anything about Leply but Warren is as likely to pin someone as major them. I would guess both Thomas and Brett wrestled 2 weights above where you will see them later this season.

Still a 12 point advantage, North Star still won 7/10 matches wrestled. I am neutral, leaning a little bit towards North Star but all of that aside North Star was just the better team plain and simple. As for the question of lepley, I am not sure, I'm not close enough to the program to know that. All I know is they are around each other.

Aoki, your nephew wrestles for Ridge? I thought your ''family'' wrestled at North Star..?

The only two bouts I saw that would've truly changed the outcome of the match was if we would've kept our six pounder against North Stars.. That was huge for us to forfeit to theirs and bump ours.. Instead of giving up 12 points (with North Stars 13 pounder getting a forfeit) we forfeited at 106 and our guy hung on to only get majored by their 113 pounder, rather than pinned by their 106 pounder.. Which ONLY gave them 10 team points.. Regardless to that OUR TEAM BOYS GOT THE JOB DONE AND WON! And our 106 pounder did really well bumping up and saving the team points!
Another one was if North Stars 120 pounder would've wrestled Warren rather than Gabriel! That could've been a major outcome.. But it was what it was BEDFORD WON!

Yeah, he does wrestle for North Star? I never said he wrestled for ridge? I said when I asked him about the ridge match he said it wouldn't be a good one for North Star, never said he was from CR. The fact of the matter is you wrestlers lost 7/10 matches and you didn't win my 20, I'm not making excuses about forfeits and neither are you, so if we can both man up and agree to disagree I think it will move is on with our days
