Finals

Brody Bonura (Live Oak) defeated Nick Wallis (Zachary) 3-2

This was a repeat of a first round match at the Warrior Open in which Bonura needed a third period takedown to win 5-4.  This match was eerily similar.  Neither wrestler could score in the first period.  In the second Wallis scored an escape for a 1-0 lead but Brody gained a 2-1 lead with a takedown when he tried to whip Wallis over but ended up breaking his base and spinning behind the Zachary wrestler.  Wallis, however, tied the match again with a Granby roll escape and came near to catching Bonura's leg for a takedown, but the Live Oak wrestler went out of bounds.  The third round started with the match tied 2-2 and Bonura in the bottom position.  Wallis stopped Bonura from escaping three times but Bonura succeeded on his fourth try to take a 3-2 lead.  To the surprise of many fans and some coaches Bonura was warned for stalling, but he was able to hold off Wallis, while making takedown attempts of his own, to preserve a 3-2 win.

Seeding Implications: Three names stick out in this weight class.  In order of who has beaten whom by very slim margins are Yehia Riles of Brother Martin, Brody Bonura of Live Oak and Nick Wallis of Zachary.
