Keep it going young man!
True Freshman Kasak majors #1 seed!!!
WOW!!!
WOW!!!
Kasak will wrestle for 3rd. What a run!!!!!
Kasaks season is so impressive. Really appreciate what he's done.
Kasak is fun to watch. Just doing his thing. He was in control the whole way and dictated that match. He is a force. Lovett had no answer.
Kasak a 4-2 loss in 1st round from legitimately maybe winning a national championship.
4 bonus wins in 5 consolation bracket matches. Wins over the 1 and 3 seeds.

Ridge wasn't trying, most likely. 
Really like this result. Remember Lovett hushing crowd and strutting after winning by a takedown over the true freshman at Rec Hall
Kasak vs Watters for 3rd 2 freshman. I think Waters is a true freshman as well?
And same color singlet as Yianni when he didnt try against NickRidge wasn't trying, most likely.
Kasak may have outscored VanNess from last year, unreal.
Kasak is right there with Zain, Nick, and SVN for me. Super impressed!
Kasak reads our comparisons to Nick Lee and says yeah - well, watch this.
Manning will have a lot of time for his twitter game tonight at 7:00. He will not need to be bothered with coaching any finalists.
Watters pinned Jaden Abas in the 2nd this year. Only common opponent.
Can't forget the haters all roaring when Tyler goes out in the first round. After that he simply makes an incredible run and the kid who beat him is nowhere to be found.
6 Truax vs 4 Munoz
Consi SF
Caution Munoz before opening whistle. Truax in same leg wrap. Nothing thru a minute. Munoz taking ground. Munoz shoots, gets TD, takes Truax to back and gets the fall in 2:29.
That’s alright; go get 5th Bernie!

Munoz acting like he won the national championship.
Go get 5th Bern! Screw him.
Go get 5th Bern! Screw him.
I know. First period pins should not be celebrated at all. Just shake hands and walk off the mat. No emotion ever.
Feel for Bernie but Munoz has been his kryptonite as of late. Go get 5th!
If both Bernie and Kasak win their last match for 3 and 5. We'll need exactly 4 wins to get the record.
152.5
5th (Truax) or 3rd (Kasak) would be 153.5. If both win, it’s 154.5.
Four champions is 168.5 - 170.5. Of course 5+ champions does it. But so does four champions plus 3rd and 5th.
And bonus can get us there too with four champions without 3rd / 5th.
Several paths.

Ridge came a long way in two weeks.
Manning really knows how to develop and prepare wrestlers, doesn’t he?
