126 - Sam Hornyak, Waverly-Shell Rock vs Brayden Parke, Linn-Mar

This isn’t one of the “best” matches per se, but it could become one of the most talked-about matches of the tournament. At the end of the match, Waverly-Shell Rock’s Sam Hornyak is disqualified for biting Brayden Parke, costing WSR three team points and any potential points Hornyak would have earned on the backside. If Waverly doesn’t win again this year, this will be a major talking point.

Another good first-round match with huge team race implications. Graff got the first takedown, but it was all Behrends after that.

The biggest upset of the day came in the form of a dramatic come from behind victory by Cale Kirstein over two-seed Christian Eslick. Eslick injury defaulted out of the tournament meaning the injury time in the third period was likely serious.

170 - Aiden Zook, North Tama vs Kolby Scott, MVAOCOU

This one was slated as one of the best first-round matches in 1A and it lived up the hype. Not a lot of points on the board, but it was a scrap that came down to the WIRE.
