Two state championships zero nuts way to go.

Prick 2 years ago

Rico he was a prick that has hurt plenty of people. It was no slam, if he was really hurt then good

Anonymous Coward 2 years ago

And after that drop he did get a concussion and has yet been released from the doctors.

Anonymous Coward 2 years ago

Are you guys freakin kidding me he was dropped on his head not his body. Andy would never fake an injury to win something even if it were a normal match he would never, he goes all out with every match he plays and would never fake something.

could of got up??? 2 years ago

I think as soon as people came to the center of the mat, he milked it.
My sister could of got up from that.

Just so you know if you have fallowed Rico for years you would know that when he wrestled for the USA wrestling youth he also faked injury to win first if you see the video you would see that the slam was not illegal second he didn't even break his own fall and third if the ref wouldn't of called a point your saying Rico wouldn't of been able to continue when you know if the point was not awarded he would of had to step back on the mat if not he would of lost regardless a real champ would of said you know what that was a legal move I don't deserve the win

Rico fake an injury to win a state championship??!! That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard!!! If he truly wanted the easy way out, he would have simply bumped up to 160 lbs to win the State Championship, rather than step up to the challenge to wrestle the undefeated, returning state champion, and fellow fargo all-american Oliver Pierce. When everyone else ran from 152 lbs, Rico stood his ground to wrestle one of the best wrestlers in the country!! I believe the 160 state champ (Dudley) is the same kid Rico pinned in last year's finals!!

I have seen Rico wrestle for many years and he is a legimate beast. He has never ran from anyone and certainly has never faked any injury. So for all you morons all there, probably one of many of Rico's pin victims, stop hating!! The kid is humble and a great kid off the mat as well.

One last thing- even if Rico would have able to shake off that slam in two minutes, the on-site physician would not have allowed him to return after even losing consiousness for even a few seconds!!! That's why responsible adults are present to make those decisions. Looks like the situation was out of Rico's hands!!!

I agree i could see that rico broke right after he figure out that cougar was actually has good scrambling skills I personally believe that rico knew that he couldnt beat babin so he just fake it to get the win. I wrestle cougar before he went to state and he's takedowns are ok but hes great when it comes to wrestling on the ground to me cougar is the real state champion.

Rico is a joke isn't the first nor the last time he fakes they should give him an Oscar

2 years ago

1st - I doubt Rico would fake something after he stepped to the challenge of facing Pierce

2nd - Pierce and Rico are on a different level than Babin
3rd - Fargo and Pierce isnt the same as Fargo and Folkstyle? What?
Pierce beat Babin twice during the season taking him down 8 times in 2 matches never giving up an offensive point.
Babin is wild and got lucky scoring on Rico, Rico would have handled him easily.

derek dudley 2 years ago

I attended the meet. 1st and foremost the referee called potentially dangerous after babin brought him down. Wrong or right that was the 1st call by referee. 2nd Rico had both arms to defend himself on the bring down. 3rd Rico used more force against Babin in his return of Babin to the mat after the takedown. I dont doubt either kids toughness, but ricos arms and legs were moving fine after the referee stopped the bout. 4th dont speculate about Babin and Pierce thats not in the equation. Pierce and fargo is far different than Pierce and Folkstyle.

Even 2 years ago

the flo announcer says it was legal right after it happened... just listen

2 years ago

the difference between Rico's return and Babin's is Babin lost control of his feet on the way down, or maybe he did on purpose, whereas, Rico's return was completely controlled by him. I had to look at it twice, but that's a slam by Babin. way to win or lose.

jordan 2 years ago

worst way to win a state title ever. never seen someone be a in the finals

i don't like 2 years ago

ana bare. you are a tool. you look like a bear. no one would want to see you bare.

pathetic 2 years ago

this is horrible. what a chicken- way to win.

corpus christi kid 2 years ago

nothing but negativity both are great wrestlers no one knows who wouldve won just respect that rico won and next year cougar will be back hunting for a state title

WOW! 2 years ago

Rico slams the other kid harder than he got slammed, if babin would have laid there for a second they would have stopped the match for him too. This is ridiculous, Rico's head fell from about one foot

txwres 2 years ago

When I first watch it I thought it was the correct call because Rico never tried to defend the take down so i assumed the arm was traped. Watching it again i noticed both arms were free and Rico just did not defend, so I believe the call was incorect but can understand why the ref made the call he made. Its just ashame the match ended like it did. I'm sure both kids were not happy. I do not buy into the fact that Andy was assured a win, correct me if I'm wrong but cougar did escape and get the reversal. Some thing pierce did not do, just because Pierce bet Cougar does not mean he will bet Cougar. Wrestling styles have something to do with it..

If you get a concussion, you're automatically out

2 years ago

Rico's takedown was a harder slam than cougar's...However, trainers/america is very sensitive about concussions these days....I bet you he was a little groggy and the trainer called it.....Very unfortunate it was state finals. As for a Slam.....I say no way.....Rico didn't defend himself on the return and Cougar did have control.....Rico was caught off guard with foot sweep.......Tough draw....and tough decision to make....good luck to both

You kidding me. Andy Rico is a tough kid and would never lay down to win a state title. Haha TX Wrestling, where are you from? Andy was a Greco Runner-Up in Fargo, beat one of the best 152lbers in the nation in the semi's (Oliver Pierce), and will be a great Division 1 wrestler where ever he chooses to go.

Great kid, amazing wrestler, and would never lay down to win a match.

haha TX wrestling 2 years ago

so this is a state finals match? kid faking the slam should be embarrassed

J fucken F 2 years ago

andy would have won anyways, stop using a "slam" as a excuse for cougar losing

What? 2 years ago

The kid who got slammed had both arms free and did nothing to break his own fall.
It wasn't even a slam.
Texas Girl's wrestling at it's finest
