Simpson was leading Bowers 5-1 and got caught on his back in the final :01 and questionable quick pin call at the buzzer, but Bowers still would have won 6-5 with scoring five points in the final :10 seconds to complete the comeback.

this kind of sounds like "he got caught on his back" had more to do with the guy who got pinned than the guy who did the pinning.

Working on getting the videos up right now from this weekend, broadcast bandwidth was terrible from Baylor (I use Verizon to do my live streaming and the 4g on Baylor campus isn`t very good)so the webcast was terrible for those that tried to watch.

 

Should have possibly the Baylor footage up by early evening, and Soddy Daisy up by Monday morning

Whitworth was wrestling up at 115 while still having to weigh in at his 108 weight and while Whitworth does have a win over Bowers and Bowers has beaten Simpson, this match was still an 8th grader wrestling against a senior...

For what it's worth, Simpson and Whitworth weighed in within 1.5 pounds of each other (Simpson at 112 and Whitworth at 110.5)...hardly "wrestling up"

Well then, I hope Simpson relishes his victory over an 8th grader! Haha!! Hope those two will wrestle again at the State Duals - my money is on Whitworth EVERY time! He got robbed of 2 points in the first period (just my opinion), then (again just my opinion) coach made a mistake putting him on bottom in the second (when I'm pretty sure Whitworth wanted neutral). Anyway, two great wrestlers, but the "muscle maturity" between a senior and 8th grader is worlds apart. Hard to even compare the two.

 

I also don't think McCallie showed their hand in this match. If there is a rematch, it will be very entertaining (with perhaps a different outcome). Tornado looked VERY strong with Ward, Herring, Sell, Dendy, Duhm, and Henry. Not to mention Whitworth.

Impressive win for Christian Simpson over Whitworth

No . . . not really. Huge difference in muscle mass and maturity. Not to mention experience. Also, there were some things in the match that didn't go Whitworth's way - that don't show up on the stat line. Congrats to Simpson and hopefully we get to see a rematch.

I guess you didn't see him at the GP West.

I really thought that after they said he barely got beat by bowers and that they really weighed the same , that he was no longer a Freshman either.

I see that Ethan Dendy (Mccallie) and Eli King (Father Ryan) both weighed in at 152lbs. Correct me if I am wrong. I saw that King stepped out onto the mat first at 152, while Mccallie sat back and sent no one out there. At 160lbs I saw Dendy walk out there and get the fall. IMPRESSIVE victory for Dendy as he was giving up 8lbs!

Not sure what you are getting at. I did see Whitworth at the GP West Invitational. He looked great - he went through the competition with relative ease . . . I think he had three pins and a tech fall. I think he wrestled a senior at one point too, but he was wrestling his weight (106). No doubt he's strong, I just think Simpson was a much tougher matchup at 113.

It was already stated there was 1.5lb difference in the dual. Not nearly enough to be of any significance.
