Brenot.
I was betting on Max Norman for OW, but Brenot stepped out there and really put on a show in the AA finals.
Two very impressive kids.
Shoulder Dislocations

The real important conversation about the AA state finals has not been brought up, so I'll do it here.
TL;DR Do not mess with a dislocated shoulder.
What to do with a dislocated shoulder, for the lay man:
From the Mayo Clinic - Get medical help immediately. Don't try to move a dislocated joint or force it back into place.
From the Cleveland Clinic - Keep your arm still and close to your side and go to the emergency room right away if you think your shoulder is dislocated.
National Athletic Trainers' Association Position Statement: Immediate Management of Appendicular Joint Dislocations
Athletic Trainers are only supposed to reduce a dislocated shoulder with doctors approval: (3) "In cases where pertinent statutes, rules and regulations, and employer policies do not restrict ATs from attempting to reduce dislocated joints, written standing orders should be provided by the supervising physician specifically indicating the circumstances under which the AT should attempt to reduce a dislocated joint."
(4) Patient consent, or parental consent and patient assent in the case of minors, should be obtained before any attempted reduction of a dislocated joint. All ATs should secure this written consent and minor assent before the school year or sport season.
