Hey Joe, whats your prediction in the Tarley-Chittester match? Chittester in a close one?
Tarley is pinning his way through the tourney at this point. Why pick against him...Undelay, Undelay! It's El Toro Blanco!

Chittester has won twice in overtime and Tarley has pinned his two opponents. I like Tarley for two reasons: 1. He quick enough to outmaneuver Chittester for easy points and 2. he's strong enough to pin him if he gets the chance.
CW in finals. Will win in finals very easily and be a 4 time state champ. Hess pinned Guidi so CW caught a break when Hess went to 160. Not saying Hess would have beaten CW but Hess going to 160 made it easier for CW to win state title. Now its on to JO's in Wilks Barre. Hey do you think CW will win at JO's? Do you think he will go to JO's after winning a state title? would that be like a silly thing to do?
anon at 9:17. Tough 6 minutes up before he takes the top step. He has wrestled a great tourney so far. What was going on with the blood in his match?
CW cannot compete in JO's unless he gets the automatic bye to the state finals. His name is not listed in the regional finals so I'm sure winning one state championship this year will be good enough.
Tarley is the better wrestler but the coin toss called the match. Quick and strong...one heavyweight that won't stall. Going for 3rd slot today after a crushing loss that would have locked in his title of state champ. El toro blanco undelay! undelay!
Gump,
In the semi, CW'S guy had a left over gash on right side of the face. CW opened it up twice with a couple nicely placed head slaps.
Seasoned, for a 14 year old.
1:52-am post.
Yes one state title should be enough, this is the one that counts. JO's, not going to happen. The 157's of PA got a early Easter gift. The best in the state will be at home. Or on the mat wrestling men, to get ready for next year.
what weight is guidi going to wretsle next year? 171 or 160.
