Simple results - lots of nuance lost in just the reporting of results. Will provide greater detail once we actually wrap-up the Greco and move onto Freestyle.

The bets example of what am I talking about is Anderson Heap of Florida . Heap’s name won’t show up below - he went 4-1 with his only loss coming to #1 Vincent Kilkeary of Pennsylvania on criteria (after wrestling 5 tough matches). But too little time to dig into that at the moment. Expect that level of analysis once we get the final breakdown.

Still good day for both Georgia and Florida Cadets … were in the hunt for All American pool status and came up just short. Tennessee Cadets lost two very close matches and fell all the way to 7th in their pool. We could see a Florida vs. Georgia schoolboy matchup tomorrow which will be fun, but Tennessee will finish above all others in the SE at schoolboys after making the Bronze/Copper Pool.

Malyke Hines Named EIWA Freshman of the Year

Lehigh's Malyke Hines has been named EIWA Freshman of the Year, it was announced following a vote of the league's head coaches.

Hines was one of four individual EIWA champions for the Mountain Hawks, who won their fourth consecutive team title in February at Spooky Nook Sports Complex.

The Kissimmee, Florida native went 8-3 in his deferred freshman season, competing at 133 pounds. Hines went 3-1 during the regular season, including a win up at 141 over Binghamton's Zack Trampe in Lehigh's come-from-behind win over the Bearcats in late January. He posted bonus-point victories in his first two bouts at the EIWA Championships before winning a 4-2 decision over Navy's Jacob Allen in the finals to claim the second of Lehigh's four individual championships.

Hines was the No. 17 seed at the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, going 2-2. Both of his NCAA victories provided bonus points as he beat Oregon State's Devan Turner by an 8-0 major decision in the first round and then won his second round consolation by major decision over Sean Carter of Appalachian State. Hines' four major decision victories were tops on the Mountain Hawks during the 2021 season.

With this award, Hines becomes the sixth Lehigh wrestler to be named EIWA Freshman of the Year since the award's inception in 1994. Other Lehigh winners include Travis Doto (1997), Ryan Bernholz (1998), Mario Stuart (2001), Troy Letters (2002) and Stephen Dutton (2011).

Lehigh won its league leading 38th EIWA Championship in 2021 and Lehigh wrestlers have won a league-best 224 individual EIWA titles.

#1 ranked Crescent holds off Chesnee 39-36 to advance to Wednesday night’s showdown with #3 ranked Ninety-Six in the Upper State Final (state semis). #6 Pelion downs Cheraw 45-28 to advance to their Final 4 matchup with #2 Bamberg-Ehrhardt … I believe Pelion beat Bamberg-Ehrhardt 42-37 earlier in the year.
