D1 FINAL 145 Dave Habat St. Ignatius VS TJ Riegel New Carlisle Tecumseh

lol at 11:06. "TAKE THE POINT AWAY REF!"

i just love how habat was yelled at by sullivan. ahah sullivan is getting more than habat ever will. too much drama over this. class goes out the window when you have fought for something you loved. where are the nasty comments about the kid who did a back flip??! that a little much..no?

i agree with "Ohio Wrestler" all that hard work and that is the apex, that is what we train and work hard to reach and he reached it, it was a good match and TJ keep your head up, you wrestled great you just caught in a dirrty move, good job david with seeing the move and hitting it, but yea good match, slight stalling on David but he was just making sure he didnt loose the state final on a stupid move or something, good work both kids

Many years of grueling work and frustration exploded outward into a spontaneous celebration which lasted for 2½ seconds by a 17 year old kid who just went 12 for 12 in the final 3 weeks of the season at one of the most difficult tournaments in the nation. Anonymous, go watch John Smith, arguably the USA's finest wrestler of all time, celebrate after winning his first Olympic Gold medal and then come back and tell me David's celebration was "ignorant." Go watch Teague Moore's celebration after winning his NCAA Title or how about Bill Kelly of ISU after decking Brad Penrith with a spladle years ago or Jim Scherr after beating Khadartsev in the World Cup or how many more do you want me to mention. Unless you have done the work and experienced the massive frustrations that come along with it, you never truly know how you will react until that final buzzer sounds. Give the young KID a break, he is a total CLASS ACT.

celebration was unecessary.....ignorant

Riegel went after him the whole time. Habat backed up at least 3 times. I feel bad for TJ cause he left it all on the mat. Good luck in the future.

Great kid!! Great wrestling!! Freshman 3rd- Sopre 3rd- Junior 1st - Senior .....I'm going with State /National Champ!!! Great Job David.
