WHAT a COMEBACK!! Klingensmith totally dominated until about the 3:12 mark at the video when it appeared that Lebin was apparently talking to Klingensmith---upset about something perhaps. Whatever it was awakened the sleepiing dragon in Lebin. Fascinating change of momentum in this one. Thanks, as always, Nima for providing the best seats in the house for high school and college wrestling. You're the gold standard.
I think Ryan had a really good grip and Ethan was not getting free. Which is crazy because Ethan was getting into good places to escape. Then they messed up by choosing to be on bottom. I get that he couldn't pin him so he thought to get points by escaping maybe but Ethan took advantage of it. Good match Ryan probably could have won that one.
Ethan clearly WON the match in the later part he dominated, and counter moved energetically towards second half of the match. Great job by ref he did not stop either wrestler from fighting their way-out trouble and that is exactly why Ethan won in the end.
Red stalled on top most of the match. You can say what you want, but he never even attempted a turn. Green gets top position and instantly gets a tilt and shows what offensive wrestling looks like.

As always, I'm honored by the kind words. Thank you!
MW,you've really captured the heat here,thank you
This was a good match and I was rooting for the hometown boy Ryan, but Ethan is clearly a lot stronger.

Can you tell the young people to wear a earbit when they are in a match or the match can not take place all matches must have earbits .

A tough match.. they are both so physically well-matched.
I think the win was questionable.

Ryan should of won but he got cheated out by the others
