Heard about this too. Sounds like a heck of a match.
Meeks had a tight match too.
Ed Winger is a hell of a tourney.

Meeks almost goes down? I was hoping both Meeks and Clark would make it thru undefeated

I was there and need to see a replay...I would say the takedown was questionable...I give props to jack, he was in on a couple great shots...Clark rode him the whole second period tough...close match, but I would say 1-0 Clark until I see a replay:......Meeks/sorenson match wasn't close-Branding couldn't come close to getting past jerks head and hand defense...meridian needs to start riding people

Meeks and Sorensen wasnt as close as the match score indicates Meeks controlled this match and will be very tough to beat. He waits for you to make a move and then is lighting qucik with his counters and his head and hands defense is excellant.
As far as the Clark/Hathaway match it was 2 from where I was at on the mat. Great gameplan by Jack he was in deep on a couple other shots also. Hopefully we get another great match at state.

That entire Bett team is loaded with studs. With many of them being underclassmen!
Bettendorf is good but look at Denver/Tripoli. Garret Smith gets over his infection and wins the 182. Wolfensberger 3rd at 145(losing to Moreno), Sorenson dropping a close one to Meeks, Peters dominating, and Chapin getting 6th. They could have 5 state champions this year in 2A.
Stroker did not beat Laux, it was an injury default Laux went to the hospital with stomach pains after his semi-finals match is what i heard.
That being said Stroker is having an outstanding Freshmen year and will be one that Im sure TnT will have their eyes on for years to come.
How much longer do you think Iowa keeps Terry? I have to think a head coaching job is in his future.
As long as Tom is head coach. No way he leaves Tom. JMO
Why is it crazy to think he may want to go somewhere and build his own program? This is a serious question. The pinnacle of wrestling is really to be a head coach at this point. I think its crazy to believe he would simply stay an assistant.
From the matches I have seen of Clark he is not exactly great from neutral at this point but tough on the mat. He reaches and wrestles from his knees too much in neutral. He needs to work very hard on his neutral game or he will struggle in college at the light weight he will be at.
