Ohio All-Stars beat Utah All-Stars
The night started out with an exciting
bang, as the Utah All-Stars won five straight matches,
with Jeff McCormick of Kamas pulling out a quick fall
against Austin Marsico in the 76-pound folkstyle match,
and William Kilpack of Sandy, the youngest competitor in
the field (starting 6th grade this fall) winning the
77-pound freestyle match by technical fall, gaining a
6-point lead in the first round (7-1) and winning the
second round by technical fall by scoring two three-point
throws.
Brandon George of Layton and Carson Kuhn
of West Jordan both won their matches in exciting fashion.
George lost the first round of the 67-pound freestyle
match with a score of 5-4, the came back in the second to
win 5-4, then pulled it out in the third round, winning
9-2, to take the match. Kuhn lost the first round of the
90-pound freestyle match 5-2, then pulled out a tough 6-5
win in the second, then dominated in the third round, with
a score of 8-1 to win the match.
Colton Thorton of Kamas won the 84-pound
folkstyle match by decision, with a score of 12-7.
From then on out, it was all Ohio, winning
every match from 102 lbs. through 130.
The format for the dual was unusual, with
the host team choosing the style for each match, freestyle
or folkstyle. It made for an exciting night of wrestling
with a lot of talent being showcased. Sportsmanship was
also in the spotlight, with the athletes exchanging gifts
during the introductions.
