Thought the ref was great. Vocal and communicated well to wrestlers. Good calls.
Stickley A Looked great in this match. Kept a good pace and worked on top.
Laux C- Laux looked incredibly unexceptional. Did not give hope to me.
Turk A- Turk came out well but never went for a tilt after the first period.
Sorensen B+ Pretty workmanlike. Wish he would’ve worked on getting back points in different ways.
Kem B+ Again workmanlike. Even though they were bad shots he gave up his legs a lot in this match.
Young A Young looked really good. He chain wrestled well and kept a high pace.
Gunther B Didn’t really impress even with the high point differential. Looked to have gassed in the 3rd.
Bowman A Bowman looked fantastic. Maybe the best relative to expectations.
Wilcke C Kinda went back to his last year form of being lackadaisical. He was very average last year before having a great tournament. Needs to improve.
Stoll A Didn’t get to see much. Quick fall.
Buffalo
Stickley D Wow completely different match. Really looked like a freshman in this match.
Glynn B Wrestled tough but bottom needs work. Lantry didn’t do anything. He won’t AA even though he ranked top 8.
Turk B+ Kid was kinda laying there on bottom but we weren’t looking to score from top. Should’ve had more points on this guy.
Sorensen A- Pace a little slow but he looked better in this match. Must’ve just needed a warmup match.
Kem A Lazy giving up his leg but turned it into a cradle and good stick.
Young A- Still looked great but not as explosive as first match. Showed some good defense. He looks skinny and I hope he can get some girth and muscle and fill out to 174.
Gunther B Got his td in the first then offense evaporated. Same stuff different year.
Bowman A- Bowman wrestles with great pace and looks like a man on a mission. Got sloppy and lazy at the end. If PD3 does come in at 184, I’d love to see Bowman at 197 or even 174 if Young stays down and Bowman can make the cut.
Wilcke A- Wow ref missed the fall at the end of 1. He had him down for a count. Wrestled with more urgency but still has a ways to go to score us points in March.
Stoll C- Was more of a girl fight than a wrestling match with all the face slaps. Need to get to our offense. Not a single upper body tie and took maybe 3-4 half shots.

Love the casting crowns before the meet. Great Christian rock band.
Stickley F I’ve been really high on him but I think that was all premature.
Laux A Laux looked pretty good this match. Have to finish that at the end of the first. He was all but stuck. Finish him off.
Turk A Got back to looking for turns.
Sorensen A- Looks like Sorensen working on an ankle pick/low single this year. Glad he’s working on turns from top. Not just a spiral but working on getting the arm on the back. Workmanlike. Should score more on this guy though.
Kem A+ Cant believe he hit that cradle from there. Followed it with a good tilt. He was definitely looking to score from top in this match. Need more of this.
Young B Looked slow. Backed up in the third. Definitely his worst match of the day.
Gunther A He finally took some committed shots with the lead. Can’t be content with low scores. Have to put some points up.
Bowman B- Pace was definitely slower in this match.
Wilcke B/B- Good first period but followed it up with nothing.
Stoll A Got on his offense in a hurry this time. Worked really hard on top. Great way to end it.
