State Tournament.....wow.

[rksg10]

It turned out to be a very nice tournament.

There was some fantastic match ups and for the most part, everything went pretty smoothly.

I was impressed with some wrestlers who instead of worrying about going for 1st place in a bracket they completely dominated, they moved up and challenged some of the big boys.

I have to tip my hat to Nick Reenan.
He moved from the D4 90 lbs bracket where he seemed pretty much untouchable and competed in State at the D4 100 lbs bracket.
One of the toughest brackets in the State.

Although he did not win, he put the fear of God in many wrestlers.

Nice job Nick.

The D4 100's were a fun bunch to watch, as were many, many other brackets.

Reenan is a very good wrestler. He wrestled some at 95 and 100 during the year. I didn't see him enter any at 90 lbs all season. I do think he went to lower bracket in Oklahoma though.
