Only having one ranked wrestler at a weight is a weakness? You have one helluva dictionary.
It's not a luxury. We need Haines in year 1 because Barraclough isn't getting it done.

Fantastic shot and match by Haines.
I love our AD, Pat Kraft. Love his intensity. HE WANTS TO WIN!!!!
Thanks for these updates. I have taken the family for a vacation, and am unable to watch live. These are great.
Levi fought off some quality shoots, what a gritty win. Dare I say it, freshman all American!?!
No question now. Burn the shirt. Just beat a returning All American who’s very tough to score on. Levi’s gas tank and heart won that match.
Just to put things in perspective. Steen was a two time PIAA champ at Reynolds. He also finished third twice. The jump from HS to college is massive. You aren’t wrong, but it isn’t like he didn’t have success prior to PSU. He had a lot of success. However, if Howard wasn’t injured, he wouldn’t be in the lineup. My concern is that Howard has now had two shoulder injuries.

Thanks for following along and enjoy the vacation!
