Who's up for a trip to Parris? Oh wait, no one wants to go through Parris after seeing how he dismantled the field this past weekend at FloNationals.

Mason Parris is a beast, and the fifth-ranked wrestler at 220 pounds was on full display after recording four straight bonus-point wins, including a call in the finals, to claim the title at IUP's Kovalchik Center in Indiana, Pennsylvania. He started with a 21-8 major over Joey Caanan and then followed it up with a 21-4 tech fall over Wyoming Seminary's Mansur Abdul-Malik.

In the semis Parris built up a huge lead on Pennsylvania state placer Billy Korber before pinning him in just 58 seconds. Parris, a two-time Indiana state champion, completed his title run with a fall over Pennsylvania state champ Brian Kennerly with a lat drop that had everyone in shock of Parris' talent.
