Land was on another level. Peace looked outstanding on the bottom side … he had nice wins over Logan Paradice and Chance Cottingham before grinding out a tough 6-4 decision over Art Martinez in the semis. Martinez, who ended up 3rd, had some solid wins including 3-1 over Westbrook, 6-3 over Jake Crapps, 6-3 over Caden Hagler, and 3-0 over Alex Walker.

Walker has sat behind some absolute hammers at Lake Gibson over the last two years … well Florida was put on notice with this tournament. Walker pinned Reese Jones in the quarters (after Jones beat Kresho 4-3 in the round of 16), then beat Nick Cambria 4-3 in the semis before downing Cox 10-4 in the finals. On the top side it was lights out from the round of 16 on … Florida Runner-up Hayden Whidden (a teammate of Walker’s at Lake Gibson) downed Brennan Watkins 1-0 before taking out top seed Joey Robinson 4-2.

The middle of the bracket was blown up Schafer, Kinsaul, Richards of Combat, and Belcher of Bradley. Richards beat Dease 6-4 in the round of 32, Kinsaul downed Powell 8-4 in the round of 16, Scafer beat McWilliams 7-1 in the round of 16, and Belcher pinned Cory in the round of 16.

Sealey hammered the 3 quarter of the bracket - earning tech falls over Sean Pitts and Jackson Whitmire before downing Garrett Wood 19-8. His final vs. Latona was close, but Sealey was good in tough positions and earned the win 4-2 in overtime. Interestingly Emmer beat Throne 4-2 in sudden victory in the quarters and then won by injury default for 3rd. George Honiotes and Garrett Wood both wrestled well to get to the semis.

  4. Jake Swink (Teknique)

  5. Cole Fort (Wilson Central)

What happened: Again I’m not sure how Sam Harris wasn’t seeded … but, like Sealey at 138, he showed that was a mistake (although his run to the finals was much closer than Sealey’s). Price was relatively unchallenged on the top side - earning 5 wins by fall, a 7-0 decision over fellow NC Aaron Faison before having to go into overtime to beat Harris for first. Harris had tough matches Jarrod Pominville 4-3 in the round of 16, 5-0 over Gray Ortis in the quarters, before beating Hicks 1-0 in the semis. Tyler Secoy wrestled very well in beating Fort 3-1 in sudden victory before dropping a match to Price and then Ortis.

  • Will Garrett dec. Cole Fort, 5-3

  • Gray Ortis dec. Tyler Secoy, 6-5
