Final was 4-3. Brooks led 4-1 late before being hit with I believe two stalling points late. Waiting on clarity there but either way he better two takedowns to his opponents zero and gave those two points up with about a second left.

Yeah, it looked like the ref only put up one thumb once. first it was two, then they raised it to three. A little weird but in the end meaningless.

Darian Cruz won, Helen won. Spence Lee on now.

Never seen that many fleeing pts given. Whatever, 2 TD’s to zero, could have had 3 but AB didn’t wanna push it at the end

Penn State alum Aaron Brooks will face Japan’s Hayato Ishiguro in the quarterfinals later this morning. Ishiguro beats Brooks in the 2018 Junior World finals. This will be their first match since.

Well, the guy is a three-time bronze World medalist.

RBY’s opponent was legit!

3 time world bronzes medalist

My expectations for RBY were not that high going in due to the weight cut and little experience in senior level FS
