[@Chewwykiwi]

Isaac Hampton(Boy in yellow) won state champion this year! This is his second time in a row winning state!💪🏻

[@frederikusrex]

Thanks for sharing this match and a big thank to the cameraman! Great job!

[@oxfordmontello3281]

The boy in the red is an animal!!! Great job!!!

[@emperorscotty]

I remember i was the worst on my team, but watching this makes me feel honored that I took the opportunity to try to learn this discipline.

[@dangerpowers4582]

I wrestled in Illinois from 6th grade to my Junior year of High School. I'll always regret not giving it my all and letting opportunities slip away, but I learned so much from wrestling and it taught me discipline only wrestling can teach.

Awesome camera work. Great video

Thank you!

That dude in red was a panther! Great match.

Excellent video work sir.

Great video!!! Atta boy aden!!!

[@L.Frank2000]

Thanks for sharing.

[@92treeman1]

Great match excellent speed accuracy and training for these 2 players

[@jedediahsmart569]

Valencia's chain wrestling is ELITE. His cross-faces from top are a little "punchy" for sense of sportsmanship.

[@CnHPureCaneSugar1]

You don't want to get crossfaced, join the badminton team.

[@traviscoleman9520]

This camera is amazing.

[@jonathanfoe1]

Valencia was hot, so much energy! A good match.

Very good match !

Great job ! Morgan hill represent

[@CnHPureCaneSugar1]

Morgan Hill ain't been the same since the Silver Saddle Saloon closed and the city came to the country.

[@insan-talk]

What camera and lens do you use? OMG. The footage is 💯💯💯!!!

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thanks. It's a combination of Sony and Tamron full-frame.

[@courtheath5138]

I was going to ask the same question. That is undoubtedly the clearest video I have seen. I just bought the iPhone 13 Pro Max and I was hoping for it to be that good.

@Midwest Wrestle - I appreciate it. I may follow suite on your advice. Impressive.

[@sandsmarc]

Yellow was fighting his hair as much as his opponent.

[@TravisBicknel]

omg what kind of camera system are you using its unbelievable!!!! Thanks

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thank you! It is a full frame cinema line camera from Sony.

[@shannonstewart4792]

You can tell Valencia is used to wrestling bigger older guys. Probably his brother's. This was a good match tho. No injuries.

[@teller1290]

I just never knew there was a thriving weight class for boys of this age. Did they 106 lbs? I just don't recall knowing boys in h.s. that we're 106 lbs. Maybe I'm too old to remember.

[@b3ntl3y]

The weight has been as low as 95 lbs from what I can recall, you probably just don’t remember them bc they were tiny lol

[@ndcarrick]

Great vids.. any way yoh can add scores? I catch a glimpse sometimes when you scan past, but would be interesting to see it… during or at the end

[@MidwestWrestle]

Agreed, that would a nice feature to add, but unfortunately there's no practical way to implement that while running from mat to mat at tournaments with dozens of mats.

[@cosinguspalpatine4449]

What tournament is this??

[@MidwestWrestle]

Hi Cosingus, we include that information in the description of every video.

[@cosinguspalpatine4449]

@@MidwestWrestle wow I’ve never heard of a recruiting showcase like this. This is really awesome

[@MidwestWrestle]

@@cosinguspalpatine4449 It is brand new. USA Wrestling created it as a result of so many state final tournaments being affected by the pandemic. You can read more about it here: www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2021/January/13/High-School-National-Showcase-series-announcement

[@kennardharies3025]

Pads and head gear is optional up to you to wear or not wear!!!!

[@happy--user]

Poor yellow!

[@woodsman1382]

I believe there is a dis advantage to the guy in yellow even though the other guy was a better opponent and that is the guy in red is wearing leggings and knee pads which I think can have the ability to hang on more to his opponent and not slide of as would be the case sweating.

[@lustrah1379]

They can both wear them , its their choice

[@lustrah1379]

The real advantage was pristine technique with the strength/agility and reaction time to go with it. Also the shorter kid was probably 10 lbs heavier than other kid b4 weigh ins

[@nancyborden5860]

Why did one wear a helmet and the other didn't?

[@MidwestWrestle]

At this tournament, headgear was optional. The wrestler who was not wearing headgear chose not to.

[@HpyPpl]

One can wear a jock strap one don't have to. Blue socks red socks? Nike Adidas? What's the point? One wrestler was well trained skilled and kicked ass the other was way out of his league period. Nothing could have saved the one who was defeated.

[@mjc2192]

Interesante!

[@anoka114]

Valencia was quicker and stronger.

Kid in the yellow looked like he didn’t know what was going on

[@Anthony-is1wn]

He was getting hammered

[@danthomas6587]

Why did you speed it up?

[@MidwestWrestle]

This video is not sped up. Curious, what gave you that impression?

[@danthomas6587]

@@MidwestWrestle the first few minutes of the match...it was like twice as fast...lemme check again.

[@danthomas6587]

I checked again. Its way too fast. Can you see it from your end?

[@MidwestWrestle]

Nope. I promise you, the speed is actual speed.

[@danthomas6587]

@@MidwestWrestle still seems fast but its only one vid. No worries. Thx for your replies...subbed

You cannot appreciate this unless you're watching it on a tab S7 Plus OLED screen

[@юзверь-9й]

athletes must wear the same protection. One has knee pads and a helmet, while the other has what? This is an unfair fight

[@matthewnewman952]

I dont think a knee pad or "helmet make a difference on how"Fair" of a fight it is.Just sayin

[@lustrah1379]

Its their choice, kid without headgear / kneepads feels he'll be better without it

[@jedediahsmart569]

@@lustrah1379 think this guy is a bot.

[@HpyPpl]

Lol. It's the wrestlers choice what to wear there are no rules.

[@MidwestWrestle]

@@HpyPpl I'm guessing you didn't mean it literally when you said there are no rules, but for others who may not be aware, it's important to clarify that there are rules about what wrestlers can and can't wear. Any special equipment like knee pads, helmets, arm/leg braces, etc. can't have sharp or abrasive surfaces, if they have any hard surfaces those must be padded, and they must not interfere with the application of any legal holds.

[@andreapellegrinmo6556]

This cameraman got me dizzy.

[@MidwestWrestle]

Sorry about that. You might see a few more videos like that coming as we were experimenting with different shooting techniques at this event to see if we could make the experience more interesting by capturing various angles.

[@futt-bucker]

Kid in the yellow is more worried about his friggin hair than a championship. If it's that much of a distraction, get a haircut. This is the difference between a decent wrestler and the next level.

[@Chewwykiwi]

Bruh kid in yellow is literally state champion for the second year in a row lol
