Spratley takes one shot. That was a long time without a stalemate considering how quickly he called it earlier when Spratley had the advantage
If a guy's got a leg up in the air, they're seldom going to call stalemate there.
Up in the air is one thing, laying on the ground while one is in the splits and they seem to be just laying there is another... But I agree.
Looks like he will either wrestle Jordan from SDSU who he is 1-1 against or Ungar from Cornell in the blood round to AA.
125 is a meat grinder, Spratley is a top 10ish guy though. He needs to gain 2 lbs of muscle this off season.
I'm fine with no stalemate there. I think Spratley should've gone for Ayala leg when he had the chance but tough spot to be in. And like always, wish he would've shot a few more times. Got in deep on his one real shot....still good stuff from him against a tough opponent. Hope he has one more win left in him maybe more.
Why they haven't called a stalling on Frost is beyond me.
Frost with a shot, waterfall, STALEMATE....Big break for Fix.
WINS 2-1!
WINS 2-1!
Fix stayed poised and did what he needed to do. Frost stalled his butt off the whole match and never got hit, Fix in on many shots and pushed ALL the action from neutral. Missed riding time by 1 second in regulation.
Fix was deep on the leg 5 times and couldn’t finish. Frost didnt take a shot until TB2. Not a good match for Fix but I think Forst is a tough opponent. I would bet he finishes top 5
Not sure why Fix is getting booed so bad. Am I missing something or does it all go back to the suspected PED suspension?
Shoulda been booing Frost stalling.
By seeds we should win all of these except Williams and I think he will win. Izzak should get bonus

I'm pretty proud of the way Jordan Williams has wrestled this weekend. You know he's not quite 100% and he's just all gas, no brakes.
Williams and plott have really stand out so far…Willams fills out and 149 clears out, he could be a serious title contender next season
Jordan really came out and wrestled and wins by tech. If he All Americans this year he could really be something next year. He has jumped a level this year. Daton wrestled poorly again but won. Spratley wrestled tough but if you don't get a takedown you usually lose. Spratley could be real good next year if he All Americans also.
149 doesn't clear out haha Gomez the only Senior in top 8 I think
Apparently, he and Plott are the only ones who went to the "how to secure a takedown" class held prior to Nationals.
I always said that if he could figure out the strategic side of things his skills were top tier. Fun to watch kids figure it out.

157 – (18 : 25-3) Vinny Zerban (Northern Colorado) vs (16 : 21-6) Teague Travis
I guess next on mat 2; Travis higher seed, Zerban better record (don't know anything about him, weeker schedule?)
This is a match-up Travis should win

I was thinking 141..you right! Still think he could be a serious contender at 149 next season and it’s safe to say 149 is his.
Travis should win agreed. STAY AGGRESSIVE. Zerban has 1 top 20 win I believe. Was a good one though against Cardenas early in the season. Otherwise just didn't wrestle many top guys.
Zerban did wrestle a weaker schedule but he is dangerous. His best trait is his quickness which will give Travis trouble. Teague can out-muscle him if he can catch him.
