Ten weights, ten matches to watch this weekend

Nice job.

The match that has the most interest for me this weekend is Grothus vs Thorn (hopefully it happens). Also will give us an idea if we might get some points out of 141 at NCAAs this year.
 
I love these write-ups. It would be great to have a follow-up article with the results from the matches (for those of us that are too lazy to look them up).

Thank you. I will start including them on the weekly post. I was tweeting them this weekend if you are in the Twitter-verse.
 
125: Ryan Millhof (OU) def. Barlow McGhee (Mizzou) by 3-2 decision

133: #3 Zane Richards (ILL) dec. #5 Ryan Taylor (WIS), 5-4
The match was a scramble that went back-and-forth for the full seven minutes, with both grapplers controlling parts of the bout. Richards started off strong with a takedown and escape point to lead 3-1 early on in the second period. Taylor responded with a takedown of his own in the second period to knot the duo at three-a-piece. An exchange of escapes, first by Richards and then by Taylor, held the tie at 4-4 through the match's final seconds. However, the Fighting Illini junior's ability to control Taylor for an extended portion of the bout earned him a riding-time point to overcome Taylor, 5-4

141: No. 3 Kevin Jack (NCSU) dec. No. 5 Mikey Racciato; 3-0
No. 3 Kevin Jack took care of business at 141 pounds, scoring a 3-0 win over No. 5 Mikey Racciato. After a scoreless first, Jack rode Racciato the entire second and his reversal to start the third was all he needed to go along with his 3:31 of ride time.

149: Lavion Mayes (Mizzou) def. Alexander Richardson (Old Dominion) by 2-1 decision

157: #1 Jason Nolf PSU tech fall #9 Brian Murphy MICH, 22-6 (TF; 6:14) / 20-0

165: #3 Isaac Jordan (WIS) dec. #4 Steven Rodrigues (ILL), 5-2 (WIS)
#3 Isaac Jordan and #4 Steven Rodrigues battled at 165-pounds with the team lead at stake. Entering the match, a perfect 15-0, Jordan started the bout off with an early takedown. After the duo exchanged escapes, Jordan used a second takedown to stretch the lead out to its largest of the day, 5-1 after five minutes. Although Rodrigues managed another escape to shrink the lead, third-ranked Isaac Jordan proved too tough for the Illini senior this afternoon, winning the bout 5-2

174: #15 Myles Martin (OSU) decision over #8 Nate Jackson 6-5
With the score tied at 4-4 late in the third, Martin was able to get the winning takedown and then fend off Jackson for the remaining 40 seconds of regulation.

184: Miklus with a nice "duck" against DeChow
