The season marches on and once again the wrestlers delivered more exciting and sometimes unexpected performances.

The Missouri Tigers had some huge wins this week. They've looked to Drake Houdashelt all year long to provide the fire and effort for the Tigers. The top ranked Houdashelt had a weekend full of challenges as he was set to take on #2 Kendric Maple and #7 Josh Kindig. He had a tight win over Maple in Norman, and had little issue taking care of Josh Kindig for the 3rd time this year. For his exemplary efforts this week and this year, Drake Houdashelt was named the Brute Wrestler of the Week.

Jason Tsirtsis: Tsirtis got some revenge from Midlands with a lopsided decision over Iowa's Brody Grothus.

Dominic Abounader: The Wolverine True Freshman notched the biggest win of his college career when he upset #11 Kenny Courts of Ohio State.
