Glass half full.
This will certainly be a maroon and orange post, but with Andy and Bryce stealing the show, I thought there were a few other things even in loss or other wins. Eddie was the aggressor that had a great chance in overtime. Sam was the aggressor and looked more dominant than a 3 to 1 win. Tom got blasted by the same wrestler early in the year and only lost by one point. national Pundits are aware of Caleb‘s motor referring him to the Energizer. Connor was the better guy in my opinion, and a fraction of a second away from the win. Mekhi Is steady and still explosive. I thought Trent would have probably passed hunter significantly, but this is still a tossup match. And lastly. I thought big cat was moving better than I had seen him recently.

That should take nothing away from Bryce and Andy, as their contributions sealed the match. Going 0-4 in SV, says it all, especially since we pushed the action in three of those four matches (125, 165, 184). Bolen is back to his former self and looked the better wrestler through most of the match. Flat out, there wasn't anything left in the tank to win those matches. That said, great showings at 141 (he lost, but closed the gap), 157 and 197.

And I've watched that match 3 times and I no longer understand the definition of stalling. The NCSU wrestler was totally passive, yes, great on defense against singles, but that does not matter wrt stalling. State absolutely stole that 3 points. I am impressed with State's defense, clearly that is a point of emphasis with their weaker wrestlers.

Dude is flat out jacked and you better bring a lunch because Henson will make you work the entire 7 minutes. I loved JBB, he just would get a bit too aggressive and make some bad mat decisions that would cost him.

And honestly I’m not sure how all those points happened they happened so fast
I think Scott had 2 reversals, 4 near fall & 2 escapes? But not exactly sure. Maybe he had 1 TD
They had nearly all of their takedowns in SV

Good points... Eddie, Conner, Hunter had several singles but couldn't
quite convert. They were definitely more aggressive that NCSt, but the Pack know how to win
