Miss this so much. So old now an all I think about is my missed opportunities. Thank you for all your videos. If nothing else they bring back so many memories!! May you an yours be Blessed!!!
It looked to me(00:54) like Cruz was about to "helicopter" his opponent...but it was to be a match...to the end! Great strength and skills shown by both athletes...imho... Thanks again, Midwest Wrestle, for your effort and excellent videography!
As usual, I'm tied up on a high school officiating assignment (wrestling is hurting for officials and we need all hands on deck) so I'll unfortunately miss the first session, but I'm planning to race over there as soon as this tournament ends.
NCAA boundary line rules are much more liberal than NFHS (high school) rules. Picture an imaginary cylinder rising from the boundary line: as long as any part of any wrestler is on or above (does not have to be in contact with the mat), they are still in bounds. Here is the exact language from the rules book: "In Bounds. Competitors are considered in bounds if any part of either wrestler is on or inside the boundary line. Wrestling shall continue as long as either wrestler remains in bounds. If the opponent’s body and the body of the wrestler attempting to score are outside the wrestling area, breaking the boundary of an imaginary cylinder surrounding and extending above the wrestling area, the wrestlers are considered out of bounds. Referees are considered part of the in bounds definition and if one or both wrestlers comes into contact with a referee while competing, there are no impedance or hindrance rules that are allowed or implied."

@@MidwestWrestle It sounds like a busy time. Good luck, drive safe and happy new year!
@@ralphiewigs2208 Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!
At 0:31 what is the rule about out-of-bounds? Looks like the wrestler Cruz is wondering the same thing. (Same at 6:32.)
