Either 126 is one bad ass weight class or Duncan got slighted.They seeded 16 and he is not in that group.WOW
Hasn't Austin wrestled Youssif in the past year or so? And is Duncan going 126? Also; Frankrone wins NHSCA and gets 8th seed...?
Yeah he wrestled him at 32 and got robbed then Hemida lost to someone Austin teched at Fargo a couple months earlier .
Why do you think he wants to wrestle two Nat tournaments in less than a week .hHe could set back and enjoy and hide like all the other top ranked kids do but he loves wrestling .
Never would imagine Austin would be one to sit back and hide. Anyone can say whatever they want but the one thing that can't be denied is that the Myers will wrestle anyone on any stage.
He would be there anyway if he could .He likes the flo guys and they like him so he wanted to go since he has never went even though it starts to wear on someone it kind of throws the idea of peaking right out the window when your doing so many one right after another , I have seen a couple kids at the same tournaments and duals but none at every one of them like he has been
.Flo guys actually took up for him about the bad calls he got at 32 and the fact that it was BS that they would not let him in Iron Man .He just win SRs after winning state and Border brawl and losing Dapper Dan in a close one in ot he could have just said I have done enough and beaten who I had to but he's one of those guys he knows it's his Sr yr his last chance to do everything he can whether he's 100 percent or not .The whole he's hiding in Ky thing always bothered him Now he can reverse it on the whole rest of the wrestling world NO ONE had had his schedule lightweight to hvy and win lose or get bs dqued he has been in every match showing that nothing can keep him down.And I'm sorry I'm not a rich person at all and I have a job that requires me to put in over 40 hrs a week although it's lenient with when and we find ways .lol we beg borrow and scrape but I get him there when I can , I think it's important and it will help him the sport the state .I like hearing that Austin Myers "Kentucky" announced by that hard working lady that does all the wrestling tournament announcing it was so fun at NHSCAs Austin and Frankrone on the same two mats battling in hard matches and winning at the same time for a minute even .Kentucky was the king of Wrestling for a few minutes hahaha We were cracking up when they were getting their pictures taken by Cliff Keen together we will get the pictures on here soon as I can lol Austin went Berserk when he won for an instant after so many yes of wrestling losing on a big stage and coming back after some bs stuff as well I think he blew a gasket for a second hahaha posing and beating his hands together .Hell yeah that's work that's overcoming and being patient and chasing everyone even guys who win and do not risk a loss and you have to wait Austin losses a close one to Brinson wins can reg doubles in Fargo still gets no love that's bs gets ripped at 32 gets denied iron man entrance that's bs now he beats Brinson who intermat had ranked 12 overall and Austin 30 .seriously that's whacked Austin has waaaaay more all around skills than Brinson He is good at all 3 styles and if you watched that match if it had been college rules he scored another point .Not knocking Brinson he is probably the fastest and may have the best shot of any upper weight .but in a freestyle or greco match it would not be close He would probably get teched by Austin. Who ran him off the Matt over and over just like he did Hemida and even Dunn .
HOPEFULLY THINGS GO GOOD AT FLO I THINK THEY WILL BUT THERE'S ALWAYS THE NEXT ONE AND AUSTIN WAS VERY HAPPY HE DID Fargo I'm sure he's looking forward to being a double double .And I think he wants a Flo Belt and in order to get it he has to beat someone who beat him but not really and someone who beat Dunn this yr so he has something to shoot for .
He also has the sweetest collection of finalist singlets on planet Earth .
I think he's Kys first Sr Nat champ and I'm sure he's kys first double OW winner pretty cool Brinson gets the ow for beating him.then he gets it for beating him and taking his fourth title away from him as he did Austin .Go out a winner .Sr national Champ and OW just like he came in his freshman yr .Doesn't get any more Perfect than that it's Awesome .totally freaking awesome and yeah all the haters can go cry a river while I'm watching bay watch parodies about wrestlers Including my son on Flo hahaha the Dirt that's freaking Awesome .
Forgot about those free Burritos for a yr from Spatola classic that was awesome Austin needed the work he and combs had a good match very cool of Dehart and Spatola to let him in late .to bad for combs having to give up about 20 or more to wrestle Austin have to say he's the kind of young coach a team needs I'm sure he is helping Cornett who also deserved a title at Nhsca but it just doesn't go your way all the time just keep going till it does.
I agree it would be easy for Austin to say "well I'm already committed to a school no need to compete nationally until I'm on campus" but the fact that he does shows he wants to continue getting better and loves to compete.
Was Austin ranked 30th P4P or 30th overall at 220?
Also I didn't know he wasn't accepted into Iron Man. What was their reason? That's absurd.
Intermat had him at 30 overall commits all weights and Brinson at 12 .normally they would say Austin or someone with his credentials in freestyle greco would get a look but whatever they use whatever they want to justify their placements .No one at 220 competes as much as Austin and win or lose he's always in the mix .they refused him two yes in a row at iron man they try to control the rankings by keeping out a kid who would have won Austins coaches and myself all tried to get him in only to be ignored then lied to .Iron man is a joke .
Are the flo brackets online anywhere ?
On Flo , gonna be a bruising brawling wrestling extravaganza .No revenge this week for ATM.

Intermat's Josh Lowe is notorious for being extremely biased towards NE Ohio and being extremely arbitrary with how he ranks people. I've gotten into it with him once or twice and with brakeman retiring Lowe's word is now god in NE Ohio where I coach.
Austin is 3rd at 220 for intermat, 30th overall. But I can tell you Austin is a lot better than Assad who was around 36. Assad is a great wrestler but I've seen him wrestle in person and I never really felt that sense of "this is a legend in the making"
Austin was universally third across most rankings I saw, he's second now with that win over Brinson. Wood is one of the most hyped upper weights in awhile, I'd compare him to Brooks Black but well... Ya. Well I suppose Coon got a lot of hype to, I'm not counting Snyder because he was all around hyped
Good start for the etc crew representing KY:
Moore with a pin and a tech
Johnson with 2 solid wins
Bindner with a bye and a win
Barton with a pin
LOWE USED TO USE Fargo and the other tournaments for his criteria even with Brinson edging Austin last yr with Austin dominating cen reg and doubling at Fargo the only one at 220 he should have passed up Brinson after Fargo .but whatever Brinson 12 just got out wrestled by Austin 30 and no one not wood Brinson and in the last few weeks anyone period has wrestled Austins schedule .I'm setting in the middle of PA so hype doesn't mean squat when your in their neck of the woods and they are no where to be seen.Austin was looking at a rematch with Hemida after the 32 garbage he was entered must have gotten "Hurt" or lost .maybe missed weight who knows .still some very good comp here It's an Awesome set up .
LET'S FACE IT Lowe is salty about all the bitching I have done about them disrespecting Austin and keeping him out of Iron Man those NE guys look like a bunch of whips for ignoring a kid who most consider a SW Ohio kid with all his time there .They never did enjoy the beat downs my son's handed out to their prima Donnas
Lowe on yapping making excuses for Ohio kids nor doing nhscas or Flo that's hilarious .vough and Ford and a few others are here Vough and Ford being all around good wrestlers every style that's great stuff.
Regardless of what Lowe has as issues with Austin wins Sr Nat gets the ow beating a higher ranked kid in a match hyped up by NNhscas and everyone else and he barely comments about it pumping Schram for four wins witch is great but let's face it Schramm isn't on the same planet as Austin I have seen him teched and losing two matches in the same reg season tournament before Austin never lost a reg season match .and yeah It was Stephen doing the teching.
Team KY in 5th place so far. Very good.
Hemida was the 2 seed, but isnt wrestling? I was looking forward to that rematch as well.
Just watching along on FloArena, this looks crazy. 2 seeds getting beat left and right.
Too busy to give all the updates, but Casey Cornett is definitely pushing to another level. Just watched him dismantle some kid in the second round. His post hi c to a double is nasty.
Results from morning session:
Ryan Moore 3-1 with a pin, tech, major, lost to #3 seed (still alive in day 2)
AJ Bindner 1-2
Trent Johnson 2-2 with a major, lost to #4 and #7 seed
Ben Barton 2-2 with 2 pins
Bryce Hoffman 0-2
What's going on with Duncan?

Anybody know why Logan Erdman and Tyler Frankrone aren't listed on the brackets? Did they not go? And what happened to Keegan?
Didn't go. And Keegan got banged up a bit. If not for that I'm pretty sure he would have been battling for a podium spot.
AUSTIN WITH A 40 SOMETHING SEC PIN IN SEC RD AFTER HIS BY HE HAS A KID WHO BEAT AN IRON MAN FINALIST NEXT NOT THAT THAT MEANS ANYTHING BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO PIN AGAIN I WOULD BET .HE'S GONNA TAKE THIS THING IM GUESSING AND BE IN THAT PLATFORM IN FINALS GET A NICE Belt like the one that dirt ball ref stold from him and then he's gonna do some training and get ready for Fargo.and WV .So much for all the undefeated in weak ky and all the rest of the bs 4 X Nat finalist 3 X champ and 2 X OW and a good shot at flo and nhsca titles in the same week !who in any state can say that .
Frankrone hurt his neck/shoulder in one of his earlier matches at NHSCA it bothered him his last two matches and it was obvious .it would have been nice to have him and Erdman there at weight they both would have had great shots at placing high I would think .I expect Frankrone will be a Fargo A A this yr or maybe a doubler it would be cool to have 2 Fargo AAs and in case it isn't obvious yet the kids who hit the iron kick A $$ on the mat
I see where Austin's quarter final match is with a 8Th Grader. Kinda shreads the theory of underclassmen never being able to hang in the upper weights.
Afternoon session:
Tyler Stork 0-2
Mason Smith 1-2 (defensive pin last match)
Keegan Duncan 2-2 (medical default last 2 matches)
Casey Cornett 2-0 with a major and a win over #6 seed
Austin Myers 1-0 with a bye and quick pin
If they win in the quarterfinals does it guarantee All American status ?
There are those exceptions but for the most part the young guys are not as competitive at heavier weightsI see where Austin's quarter final match is with a 8Th Grader. Kinda shreads the theory of underclassmen never being able to hang in the upper weights.

Campolattano was dominant as an underclassman. Now the best example is Kevin Vough who is arguably the best heavyweight in the nation as a sophomore
MICHAEL JOHNSON WOULD PROBABLY ARGUE .8th grade kid was tough good stance stout rough and tumble but no real offense Austin had 3 td an escape and riding time a bunch .His next kid in the finals is a demon on top totally different type of wrestler .
As a future Yale guy I'm sure it would be a pretty articulate argument too. I've never gotten to see Johnson wrestle and it's a shame I won't get to see him wrestle in college

Captain; FloArena was showing that Austin was upset in the semi finals, with no score or indication, but now is showing the two have yet to wrestle? Can you shed some light? Hope he hasn't truly been upset.
Ryan Moore beats an undefeated Pennsylvania wrestler... It doesn't get any better than that
Ranger has to give us the run down on this one!Ryan Moore beats an undefeated Pennsylvania wrestler... It doesn't get any better than that

Semi's don't start until 1
That 8th grader wasn't too shabby, good smart match by ATM. It was a battle of the hair between them LOL
Ranger has to give us the run down on this one!
Had a couple pa hammers. Beat a pa runner up last night 11-0 to advance to today. Today's match was a barn burner. Ryan won it by riding hard and earning the riding time (1:03). Razor thin. Fought off a few deep shots as well.

I saw the 11-0 win over the 8 seed. Just unbelievable. These kids are going to be next to untouchable next year in Ky.
And also I dont want to beat a dead horse here but if that alone doesnt disprove the theory of "Ky kids cant compete" then I just dont know what in the world would.
Myers into finals. Cornett still battling into conso semis.
Now they know why they dropped their hvy to wrestle Austin at Dapper Dan he just beat the crap out of a pa state runner up 13 to 4 and should have had more but ranger can elaborate he and duck coached him haha hahaha kid lost to the pa champ by 3 or so to the KY champ he goes down by 9.hahahab he'll yeah big match in finals against a Mich champ prayers for Austin he's a road weary tired pup but he's doing good work .Cornett AAs as well .

It will likely be on Flo in a few hrs. I have to admit it was pretty awesome to witness up close and personal.

Did Austin get his prom date ? Nice interview .

That was awesome! Kid is a total stud on the mat, and then he was thoughtful enough to ask a girl to prom during an interview after winning a tournament of this magnitude? Great job ATM and congrats on representing Kentucky wrestling the way you have. Your last three weeks have impressed the hell out of me and may others across the country. Keep up the good work and we'll be seeing you at the next level very soon. Also congratulations to all the other Ky representatives this weekend. The state has a bright future with the way some of these younger guys performed. Good job guys!
Unbelievable. Great job Austin. How can he not be #1 at 220 now? What more can the kid do? Great job. Only thing left on the list, double national champ at Fargo? That would be a grand slam.
I think he has built a very strong case for #1 compared to the sparse wrestling Wood has turned in, but I don't know if anyone is confident enough to give him that coveted #1 ranking over someone he hasn't wrestled yet
I THINK Austin just wrestled in PA and was at Fargo so if someone like Hemida Wood or anyone else doesn't show its not his problem he's the guy carrying 4 state titles the undefeated record four runs at nationals and a win at flo along with a double aa at Fargo as a Jr none of which wood has .sorry cadet world silver so what 1 pa title ? I remember the wood video before super 32 .ready for the world .Just not some parts of it .Either way they will do what they want Ohio runs intermat pa runs the rest a KY boy just ran the roost like no one else at 220 ever has and he shattered the ,well its in ky myth .And good luck ever seeing anyone run the gauntlet of tournaments and duals he has in the last few weeks .Saw a cadet world CHAMP lose tonight so just because you place high at a fila cadet doesn't make you never approachable again in the sport lol
Wood was gone most of the yr came back didn't beat anyone and went back to 1 .that's ridiculous .but whatever .he will never have Austins resume in the sport in HS .
It was pretty cool being in Austins corner the last few days. He is a humble and very respectful. I see why so many of our wrestlers look up to him.
Good luck in college and thanks for the memories.
Just wanted to take a second to say "LOL" the top comment on Facebook about Austin Myers is "really an Ohio kid but but we'll let Ky claim him." Funny that NOW they wanna claim him lol
Congrats to Austin!
Kid is just a monster.... No other way to say it!!

Hahahah good one
Back to the bigger and real question. The one that makes everyone all uptight .who's number 1 .Who has the best and most wins in the highest ranked tournaments the last 12 to 18 months .There's no doubt Austin .Cen reg.wins.Fargo.highest placer still in HS.32.bogus .NHSCA win and ow knocked off Brinson FLO win.You don't have to chase down a number 1 when they have done less than you Austin was at Fargo not cadet world .Austin was at nhsca and Flo .No matter how you try to spin it Austin should be 1 he earned it the hard way not by wrestling cadets and never winning a state title.
SIMPLE QUESTION , WHO HAS DONE THE MOST WHO HAS THE QUALITY WINS IN THE TOP TOURNAMENTS AT 220 .He went for it all he won it all he deserves the 1 spot.

I agree 100%. How can you punish a kid when all he has done is win. The only way he could FURTHER cement this case would obviously be to win greco and freestyle at Fargo. Which I really hope be does.
Looking forward to Austin winning the first NCAA title for a Kentucky boy. Awesome time to support KY wrestling. Great kid and Stephen will undoubtedly represent us In a HUGE way. Proud to be an ex KY wrestler

CaptainAmerica will austin be doing any international wrestling anytime soon? Just curious.
He already has the #1 spot in freestyle greco wrestling at 220 that's why he's the USA Olympian rankings Champion .didn't get any cred for it in the rankings .Over the years the rankers have always used that as an excuse to give others higher spots .In Austins case they did not.He should have passed Brinson up the first rankings after FARGO last yr and wood did not do Fargo Jr's opting for fila cadets and skipping fargo.How can someone with one title be ranked ahead of Austin at this moment .
austin is amazing, i honestly couldnt think of anyone better including wood, i would like to see them face off. Im sure austin would come out on top in any style in which they would face. Austin #1
Hard to say until they wrestle I do know Austin just beat a PA state runner up 13 to 4 and should have had more as anyone would agree who watches the match and they can on flo or ask the Guy in his corner DUTCH.The pa runner up Robb lost to their champ by a couple got majored by Austin probably should have been teched or pinned .Same kid lost to Dunn 10 to 3 .Dunn Hemida Wood none showed at either national tournament .As for freestyle.greco I'm sure wood has more experience than Austin and if he were to win they would use that as criteria for him being 1 yet Austin has the double aa now and gets no credit and I do believe and know wood has more losses than Austin and Austin has avenged his only real loss .As for the international comp question the fila weights are different there is no 220 it's 212 or so and 260 or so if your going hvy in college the intelligent move is to go up particularly if you have been a 220 for 4 yrs in a row .I think he goes up for freestyle greco some want him lower some higher .He of course will choose going up as the idea of cutting will not only bother him but make him feel as if he is avoiding something some says he is not going to be successful at ...going up .International is 260 270 something college 285 .I'm sure it takes a bit but.he should reach those weights or a suitable size to compete with those there with some effort and time .Probably goes hvy at Fargo as he will be looking at where he needs to be a couple months afterwards for the college opens staying 220 in July and needing to be 30 lbs heavier in Nov would not be wise .He probably hits Fargo over 240 perhaps even 250 by NOV and the beginning of college wrestling he can be 260 or more and in far better shape than most he will face .
Awesome.
I wonder who red flags an honest truthful post defending a true champion .
A JEALOUS COWARD WHO IS NOT .
I SAW BRINSON RANKED 1 PART OF THE YEAR WITHOUT REASON I WOULD LIKE TO SEE Austin ranked first for the work and deeds of his own hands that have outdone everyone else at least by double .
I see the haters scrambling for excuses lol a loss to a hvy at a charity event in ot lol The real national tournaments are NHSCA and FLO and Fargo Austin is the highest placer or Champion in all three still in HS of course wood hiding all yr or hurt and not competing until his state where he won by a couple points then never showed anywhere at any tournament .And Dunn lost to Hemida earlier this yr And the excuse for Brinson being 2 was a win against Austin and Hemida and his state wins Austin has beaten Brinson worse than he lost to him last yr beaten a 3 X state and ranked kid in Butterbrodt Beaten a PA runner up by a bigger margin than anyone else has and beaten a ranked Mich state champ he teched the 32 champ a couple months before 32 beaten the hvy runner up there lost to the hvy in ot in a charity dual with 5 plus lbs the day before weigh inns 4 days after his 4 title win .and an undefeated streak in HS in his class no one now or in history has had at his weight .He is #1 no doubt about it in any honest man's mind .
Barring my username to keep me from countering their bs will not change what everyone has seen these past four yrs or in particular the last month .
No arguing that.
A BIG GROUP OF KIDS FROM ETC AT FLO Austin has never went or been a part of etc but they were a nice group .Hopefully Austin Frankrone and the same group that went to central regional and Fargo last yr get some work in together a camp or two before both would be awesome
Lol Austin sporting his Flo Belt at CC today on Flo tweets .
