Rumor has it that there are several kids not wrestling this weekend due to injuries (from conferences) or other reasons..anyone else hear anything about this? I hate seeing kids miss out on the opportunity to wrestle in states...especially if they are seniors. Things were a little different back in the day

2 words "concussion protocol"
Invest in Gamebreaker
I like these a lot more than the two options I've found, LDR and Morgan.
What you people fail to realize is that once you've had a concussion, you are more likely to get another. The macho bravado crap needs to go out the window. It's not just a "just shake it off " thing. It is a traumatic brain injury for heaven's sake. That's like getting in a car wreck and then getting behind the wheel again and driving into the path of oncoming traffic.
I'm pretty confident we have all had our share of concussions, and no one is denying the fact that they are very serious. But what cant be denied is the fact that we OVER diagnose them like crazy.. kid bumps his head-concussion. bites his tongue-concussion.. I agree, it is very wise to be on the safe side- but there are very distinctive characteristics/symptoms that follow a TBI or concussion and a lot of people now are diagnosed without exhibiting any of them.. and dont get me started on the accommodations that are made in the classrooms after the diagnosis...But yes,I had a very severe one recently after a bad accident and it was brutal- not denying that.
I'm wondering who you hear is out also...are you talking about people who wrestled at conferences and advanced? Or are you talking about people who were "out" before conferences?
Those that wrestled and advanced... Ive just heard about a couple kids from smyrna maybe? I'm assuming they are just rumors tho
Looking at conference results only and having no knowledge of any of these individuals these guys could be on the bubble depending on how they are feeling...
Perhaps it was the situation where theywere a little dinged up, had already qualified and chose not to risk it. Maybe it's more serious but only the kids and coaches know...
120 Knight IR forfeit to 6th
126 O'Neal IR forfeit to 6th
138 Range an Con forfeit to 4th
138 Ogbin WP mforfeit to 6th.
152 Wilson G mforfeit to 6th
182 Tascione PT forfeit to 6th
195 Li AI mforfeit to 6th

I don't think any kids that qualified for states from Smyrna have any issues that would prevent them from wrestling.
Wilmington Christian wrestler who got the 3 seed only lost to the 2 seed 7-6! got caught for a 5 point headlock in the first period and that's what hurt him
Sounds like you wrestled him well. We will see in a few days how things work out.
Heck, I'm wondering if anyone can get to the 2nd period on Wuest. He pinned his way thru the conference all in the 1st.
I'd say his most competitive match will be against Messiah from William Penn, a old Smyrna wrestler, if people were smart enough they would know not to tie up with Wuest
I've seen 2 things this year...people either try to tie up with him and get shrugged upwards and body locked straight to their back or or they retreat to the edge of the mat and then get taken down. Once he's on top, its legs in, power half, lights out 90% of the time.
Really with Miller not wrestling 195 has to be the weakest bracket in the state.
Below are the toughest weights IMO
160
120
138.

I agree as well! 182 is another one that's pretty wide open and tough as well.
I agree 100%. Go to 302sports.com on youtube and watch the Milford tournament. Wuest wrestled Lucas Hudson in finals. Wuest beat him 6-0 but it atleast a little different than what we have seen all year from people wrestle him.
Please don't be true that henlopen finals match was worth every penny
Baums dad made comments at conferences after his match that he was hurt and would not be at states. Whatever the case may be i wish him well and hope he can recover from the injury. Would love to see another finals match like the last one. Those 2 young men gave the crowd an exciting show.
once again i'll donate my shoulder to get him to recover by friday
138? It's top heavy but after the top 4 that's it. 160 is obviously thought along with 182. 106 is deep but young.
A little off topic but has anyone been following the whole Kurt McHenry drama that he has been dealing with, for anyone who doesn't know he's the number one 106 in the country
106 is young but with a lot of guys who could win it. And IMO 120 is a fight for second
Just watched the video part that was recoreded and that is crazy. Yes he pushed his opponent out of bounds but nothing out of the ordinary. Then for the opposing coach not to shake his hand because he just destroyed his son is ubsurd. Yes his opponent was the coaches son. What a shame for a kid that has worked so hard.
