In Ohio the officials literally appraise no value on the skill of holding someone down, they force Ohio kids to go take downs or they will call them for stalling after 15 seconds on top. Also college wrestlers are stronger and contest every movement and attack with a downblock, sprawl, or just meet you with their hips. I guess to someone who has never wrestled in college you would not get this unless you experienced it. Although one year in the Iowa dual at Ohio State I did see Colt score 11 takedowns I believe for a 22-11 win. Apparently some people just don't watch all the wrestling that is offered.” I was there Zebber! Colt wrestled the backup 165 to Mark Perry and put on a single leg takedown clinic which nearly brought the house down. It was a wild night but unfortunately the Hawkeyes won the dual meet. reply

#2	Really? October 12 at 10:32pm I wasn't following wrestling, especially not high school around the nation, in 2007. In the video and the desciption it says that Sponseller was one of Ohio's greatest takedown artists. I have watched a few of his matches in college here on FLO and I can remember him getting maybe one takedown. I saw back to back matches of him at the Cliff Keen invite where he won 2-0 both times with an escape point and riding time bonus from riding his opponent for the whole second period. I am just wondering why he isn't a good neutral wrestler yet in college? reply
