Respect to California for having only one champ per weight class … other states have multiple same weight champs…. With Californias population size they could’ve done the same but instead chose to see who truly is the champion ! 750 total schools in CA that offer wrestling

Toughest state tournament in the country in my humble opinion.

[@mrob456]

ehh King still rules.

[@donthomas4793]

Only one state champion in each weight it’s one of the toughest for sure.

Hard to argue against it. Midwest/North East has some better states as a whole but California being only one class makes it insane.

Would've love to see the freshmen at 132 win it. Kid was a dog the entire match. Kept pushing the pace with his offense. I see big things coming for him as long as he doesn't let that loss deter him.

[@HillyBill38548]

Totally agree.

[@kendrahansen1175]

He likes getting oil checked, too!!😜👆

[@maxaquino1971]

1:14:30 The ref was spot on here - while hands were locked around the body, the defensive wrestler was in near-fall criteria (making it legal) and they also went out of bounds. Good no-call.

[@mikeygargs]

I’m sorry, but did Alexander Volkanovski ref the 190 final..?!?!

[@erichood3169]

I've been in a state finals match. Exactly like this. I wish they would keep the same lighting you wrestle with every other match. It's a little too dark imo.

[@Culvey]

41:25 I thought for sure this was going to be a head and neck injury when I saw him land, that attempt to roll being stopped nearly caused some real damage.

[@billyboy4477]

Zepeda would pin bassett again

Thanks again for posting this. Stoked.

A couple of these boys may be D1 All Americans next year!

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

Hey man I respect the hell out of you DJ and Cole. I’m bringing a few kids up to Va Beach next month for nationals. But I’ve been trying to preach fitness and nutrition. Would there be any way I could bring them by and maybe you lite a little fire under them and inspire them. They’ve finished top 5 in ga team wise and are ready to step their game up and quit getting beat by the same 3 teams. Hence coming to nationals plus some other things this offseason. Thanks for the time.

Nah at 1:14:43 bro got cheated out of a state title & he asked for them to check it multiple times & they wouldn’t. Horrible refs & honestly your coaches are the same if they aren’t fighting for you with the shit refs.

[@eltoroloco1936]

No video review in HS and entirely a judgement call by the ref,sadly.

[@kraz5204]

Didn’t even notice that at first but bro that was definitely locking

[@maxaquino1971]

@@kraz5204 While the hands are locked around the body, he granbys straight into "high bridge" back exposure (nearfall criteria 4). Rule 7-3-3 is specific that if they go straight into nearfall criteria (which is what happened), no violation has occurred. When they roll through, he'd have to let go, but they're already well out of bounds at that point.
