113 is why it can be so hard to tell about freshmen. Hillegas didn't do much on feet -- actually did quite a bit of boundary hugging -- but won with 2 counter takedowns. That said, Newell is very good, and that can't be discounted.
Sometimes freshmen wrestle closer matches because they're not as physically mature. Hopefully this is the case, and Hillegas opens things up more next year as he gains some strength. Going undefeated in PA as a freshman is no small feat. He's very good, just a matter of how good he can become.

HOLY SH** !! DeSanto beat Lee with a takedown at the buzzer!
DeSanto was better than Lee on his feet. Smelled blood in the water and took it to Lee in the 3rd. Earned it. Had Lee backing up, enough that I was kinda surprised Lee didn't get dinged for stalling.
(Very afriaid to go to HR right now.)

Somewhere Owings is lifting a glass and saying cheers!
Not often that a 2 time World Junior champion loses in his state finals. Hats off to Austin DeSanto!
amen....I'll modestly
mention that I said possible shades of Larry Owings in an earlier thread.Hope everyone knows Spencer has a torn ACL...I am not a fan of him anymore but you gotta give him credit for even trying to wrestle in post season....That is why he skipped the bigger tournaments this year since the end of January !!!! Tough to beat even a decent kid on 1 leg....
Wrestling with a torn ACL? Wow. Hats off to Spencer Lee! Guts. Is that a good idea, if true? Also, pretty tough to wrestle with a torn ACL. As a fellow poster noted, unless we're talking Chuck Norris.
Considering OW was going to be a Lifetime Achievement Award for Lee, yeah.
At least until PD3 runs out of the stands and pins his way from 182 thru 285.
