IMO kodie is the better wrestler but he just mentally broke and walsh gutted it out.

can i ask you what is the python wrestling with the leg rides
its not stalling because he has a pinning combination

Great match by both wrestlers. IMHO Silvestri should have received 2 backs on his last reversal. As for Walsh, don't expect much from him at the NCAA level, reaching back for wing rolls and stepping over guys just does not work, it usually gets you pinned. Been there done that.

This was such a sick match. Both guys clearly have so much heart. I feel bad for Silvestri though. Trying to do something right and good, even for an opponent and the ref hits him for stalling. Maybe should've been a stalemate before it was stalling. Excellent match though. Crazy last few seconds. Good luck both wrestlers in all your future matches and endeavors! You guys can go really far.
Silvestri got screwed with that stall call,and then like 3 coutions in a row.

Never Stop March 12 at 1:02pm
Niether kid stopped wrestling, with 12 seconds left kodie hits a reversal,that was big, and then taylor never stops and elevates him over with 4 seconds left to reverse him back and win. Unbelievable

Thanks March 10 at 7:48pm
Mr Lenzi good job, your kid beat our jersey boys in the off season.Thanks for the second post, I did not hear it the first time.lol
Both are great wrestlers and both were beaten by Andrew Lenzi of NY this past fall at the Waterway Duals. Lenzi beat walsh 14-9 and silvestri 4-3. Great Match!

Additionally, (maybe I'm wrong) but wouldn't the move qualify as locking hands from the top position? I've seen refs call this as locking before, so I was surprised when the refs had not called it in this match.
This was an awesome match (especially the last five seconds of the third period).”
for the kid who said: Additionally, (maybe I'm wrong) but wouldn't the move qualify as locking hands from the top postion? A: its been called locked by people who dont kno the move but its defenitly legal

It's not a clasp because he has over one arm and under the other with legs in which is technically a pinning combination. The stalling call depending on the ref can go either way. Usually in NJ legs are huge so when someone trys to counter by standing up it's not the top wrestler as stalling it is a stalemate because the top wrestler is working to bring him back down.

Check out taylor walsh joey lazor match at super 32 preseason on flowrestling they are 2 funky wrestlers lazor 2 time ga state champ i think it was about same score
Louie, I've listened to wrestling calls and I'm willing to dole out criticism where it applies. No, you're a great caller. You have a bundle of info and stories which make it entertaining.
You know my favorite part? When you identify the dark/white singlets and give some background on the kids.
You're pretty accurate on your assessments of the refs. You're right, Vinny Russo is the man. He was in total control of his bouts.
Don't sweat the voice. We do what we can, w/ what we're given.

Do I not mention the score from time to time? Some matches I might say the bout score more times than others. I've learned from listening to baseball that you should give out the score at certain intervals during the course of the game. I'll try to be more aware of it. While I'm fortunate enough to see lots of wrestling since the days of Milo, I'm still trying to get the kinks out of doing the best job that I can for the sport of wrestling. Actually, I'm thinking about taking a class to improve whatever needs to be done. Maybe a REAL voice instead of the squeaky one that I'm stuck with now. Thanx for the constructive criticism.

That was an awesome match!Both wrestlers really entertained.Thats how exciting wrestling can truelly be......awesome!

Coach 911 March 9 at 2:04pm
Never count either out of thase out of a match, most wrestlers in the state finals can be too cautious. Not these boys. Out of Taylors 100 wins over 80 are pins, and Kodie is a strong and dangerous wrester. Kodie won the big pre season tournament in Iowa, and finished with state final, and should make some noise at senior nationals.

Mevans March 9 at 12:59pm
Good ref overall--good call at the end. But a bad call at the end of the second period IMO. I would have called a reversal and backs for Silvestri. At LEAST a loss of control.

I wrote this before but my INET took an vacation so I will re state. It appears to me from my seat in the asylum that several odd circumstances unfolded in this epic struggle (see:Hector vs Achilles I on cspan). Firstly we see a moderately questionable takedown in the first period. That is ok happens often. Then we see some strange interpretation of what 45 seconds is and what 3 seconds are. In the second period there is the strange timing of the stalling call on Silvestri. The call had some validity (See: George W. Bush on weapons of mass destruction) but he timed it with a defferential referrees stopage for Walsh to fix his head gear.

Silvestri then for the coup de gras sets up Walsh with a couple of half hearted front rolls where he doesnt float his hips gettting Walsh comfortable with the scenario and then hits a perfect front roll with a hip float for the ages, Walsh is cast to the mat as vulnerale as a new born spring buck on the plains of the calahari. Walsh then hits a move that will flumox the critics and observers for years to come...gotta go time for meds.
