Great writeup. Great match. Happy to see Hammond get the monkey off his back with a big win and Jimmy show some real fire and finish strong.

So, Telford kicks dogs? Not surprised. ;-)

cael mentioned that kade was cleared only an hour before the match, what was the issue? How about Dylan and Andrew, any word? Tough injuries in the sr. year.

Moss had a knee infection.

Telford sure is a piece of work. He and Evans together seems fitting.

Yeah, some type of knee infection for Moss, like Jefe said. Almost went with Waters.

Definitely tough injuries to deal with this point of their career for Dylan and Andrew. Gotta feel for them. Dylan might be back next week, but I wouldn't count on it. Rider seems more realistic, but that's just my opinion. And as far as Andrew, I've always said that I'd be surprised if he makes it back for the postseason, but he's been working out, so you can't count him out just yet.

We need more of those BJC matches. The fact we rent the place is


absurd. The economics have to weigh in favor of having more wrestling events in the BJC.
