The weekend belonged to the high schoolers and wrestler after wrestler stepped up and gave exemplary performances. Many individual matches were highlighted coming into this weekend. One many had highlighted was the potential battle between #1 Luke Pletcher and #4 Nick Piccininni at 120 pounds at FloNationals. It was an incredible performance by Piccininni who was able to major the top ranked Pletcher by a score of 10-2. Between winning a title at FloNationals in a tough weight and majoring the top ranked wrestler in the country, Nick Piccininni was a clear choice for the Brute Wrestler of the Week.
