152# Swan PYOK vs Knapp CHGA - finals

I have watched Swan wrestle a couple matches this year and this was by far one of the sloppiest matches I have seen him wrestle. I think he tried to muscle the kid too much. With some work with John Smith next year, Swan is going to be a National Champ at Okie State.

they way it looked to me was that, swan kept trying to get up but knapp kept trying to throw his legs in and swan was trying to keep them off, but in the world of wrestling we call this so called "stalling". but to a good wrestler he looks for just the right time to escape while "playing it safe" and not getting in a worse position if he were to just stand up. besides he was ahead by 5 or 6 points, so playing it safe would be a good choice. and if knapp would have let him up, swan probably would've take him down again.

that was some pretty bad stalling but he sure dominated the kid in the first 2 periods. swan is ranked #4 on the AWN rankings and knapp #11 i think. pretty big difference between the 2. swan also pinned the #7 ranked kid this year the the Oklahoma open. hope he goes to senior nationals and wrestlers some other top ranked kids.

wow i never saw stalling that bad before
