Kid got thrown like 3 times in a row, once his head hit. Kid got a concussion and they awarded a point to WC for it, so they got 6 points. It was unintentional, but by the rules its 6 points. 

That probably cost DB the match

Heck of a match between Wilson and Dobyns

DB should have won that. Oh well most of their core is back next year.

It did, WC was not pinning that DB kid.

If DB would have bumped Crowder to 285 they probably would have won the match even with the injury default.

Yeah, that would have been a 3 point swing. 

 

Hard to think about that on the fly sometimes

Excellent points. DB has been the unknown to most wrestling fans. They knew they were good but how good? They don’t wrestle to far west or to the south west in Chattanooga, but they wrestle throughout the South East. Something special is going on in Kingsport. As someone else mentioned, the core is back.

In my eyes that decision should have been predetermined before the match, DB heavyweight was always going to get pinned, and the best Crowder could do was get a decision against Todd but that was a toss up. The best chance to get points out of those 2 weight classes was to bump Crowder up.

Hindsight is always 20/20. I guarantee that all the coaches come with a game plan. The crazy thing is if Crowder wins in 2OT we are talking about how they pulled out a gusty dual. You win some and you lose some. It’s part of leaving fate up to others. What if Crowder loses at HWT? These are all the things coaches think about. Coaching is a lose lose game until you win. It was a great dual and lots of changes will be occurring for both teams the next week.

I agree with you that's what makes duals so fun and keeps you up at night playing the what if game. it was a great dual to watch and my hat is off to DB all of those boys showed fight and kept them in it as a team!
