Top 12 Matches Of The Weekend
Having a hard time remembering all the great action between Beat The Streets, Body Bar and Junior World Team Trials?  Same here.  We got ya covered, though.  Here's the top x matches of the weekend.


12. 74kg r1, Larry Early III, Minnesota vs Jordan Kutler, Lehigh - Back and forth excitement til the hammer gets dropped. 


11. 96 kg Semifinal - Kollin Moore, Ohio State vs Malik McDonald, NC State -
McDonald looked like he'd keep his upset run moving early in this one, but Kollin Moore wouldn't be deterred. 


10. 55 kg Semifinal - Austin Assad, OH vs Gavin Teasdale, PA - Teasdale was cruising til Assad hit one of the cleanest left side High-C's you'll find. 


9. 48 kg Junior Final - McKayla Campbell, Ohio vs Aleesha Gould, Titan Mercury - ​Who doesn't want to see a match where a whopping 29 points go on the board!? 

8. 74 kg Mark Hall, USA vs Ahmad Bazrighaleh, Iran  - Bazrighaleh was on the winning TD late, then Hall hit him with a Houdini counter.


7. 66 kg Final - Jaydin Eierman, Missouri vs Matt Kolodzik, Princeton - The most competitive match to end with a tech fall in the history of mankind! 


6. 55 kg Daton Fix, USA vs Kheyrolla Ghahramani, Iran - The match was trending the wrong way for Daton.  He stepped up and blew it open with some shiny new leg attacks. 


5. 74 kg Semifinal - Jason Nolf, PSU vs Logan Massa, Michigan - You know it's a good one when the ol' "double single" isn't the highlight of the match. 


4. 60 kg Final - Seth Gross, SDSU vs Mitch McKee, Minnesota Match 3 - ​The best series we saw all weekend came down to a last second score with a spot on the Junior World Team on the line. 



3. 86 kg J'den Cox, USA vs Meisam Mostafajoukar, Iran -
Unranked and unknown, J'den put the world on notice on the big stage. 


2. 74 kg Final - Vincenzo Joseph, PSU vs Anthony Valencia, ASU - Cenzo was down 8 and 9 points respectively and simply refused to lose. 


1. 60 kg Mitch McKee, USA vs Peiman Biabani, Iran - Lots of guts hitting that move, on that stage, in that moment.
