War at the shore

Does anyone know if or when the SJWA website will post the brackets?

Looks like another Petroski/Callendar match brewing !!

I don't know if its fair to say caught up as if he was ever really behind him. Lets not forget Callendar defeated Petroski in the District Finals when they were Sophomores. Sounds to me more like two wrestlers that are closely matched that can go back and forth depending on what day it is.

Did anyone take notice of the brackets being switched around from Friday to Saturday in the HS consolation round.  When we left Friday night my son was wrestling one opponent, only to come back Saturday to find he was wrestling another.  After looking the bracket over carefully I noticed that all the PA kids were placed against each other as well as the NY kids, with the good NJ kids being paired with opponents with lesser records.  When I approached the tournament director about the switch I was first told that that is how the computer broke the bracket out.  OK fine, but when I told him that my son wrestled the last match of the night and that when we left we had the up to date bracket, he then changed his story to... the computer went down and they had to redo the seating for Saturday.  He flat out lied!  Because there were three other weight classes that were switched around from Friday to Saturday, so I guess the computer just happened to go down only on those three weight classes.  How about a wrestler having to wrestle three matches in a forty minute span or another wrestling seven in a two hour span, and they're just the two I know of or should I say, I witnessed.  This was our third year and it will most certainly be the last, way over priced for how poorly it is ran.  How many wrestlers almost missed a match because of that ridiculous system of getting the kids to their mat?

Good result for Dan Stover from Sun Valley, 5th @ 127

Josh DiSanto and Jason Bing had great tournaments also !

The Mazzi/Walsh match was a lot closer than the score showed.  It was a 7-4 match going in to the 3rd period, than mazzi tried to start forcing things, and anyone knows when you try forcing things on Walsh, he is just all types of funkiness.  Kyle moran wrestled Walsh very tough losing 1-0.  Moran wrestled smart, and did most of offense, Walsh just did a great job defending.   The tournament was ran bad, but every kid was wrestling 3 to 4 matches an hour towards the end of the day saturday, so it was fair in the sense that both kids were tired from the match a few minutes earlier.  Oh well, badly ran tournament, but like stated before, but good experience for all the kids that went.

I'll second or third that.......GREAT COMPETITION and GREAT Experience for anyone who wrestled!!!  However, the tournament was ran chaotic!!!  Never knew when someone was wrestling, the process to getting on the floor or to the mat was outrageous....

I just hope that all the coaches, parents, and tourn. directors at the tournament do not get any ideas ($$$$$$) in their heads about the coaching passes, when they decide to run their own tourn.  I can see this happening.  Again, that was rediculous. 

I also heard the NHSCA coaches passes were $100.  This is crazy!!

 We are still trying to promote this sport, not push people away!!!!!

 

Shane longstreth had a pretty good showing coming out 3 (lost 9-4 for true 2nd but making the finals). Saw matt harkins was also registered to wrestle 121.5 but didnt go due to something regarding an eye injury? Also, was that really d1's james bak that was majored by dylan mogan in the finals?? Minich and Bongard both beat mogan at team states and individuals this year...

thanks.
