 | If you showed up a few moments late Tuesday night, you would see the Franklin Knight's commanding quite a dominant performance over their host Cranberry. A couple of pins and a couple of forfeits and it was 24-0. But apparently then the match hit Cranberry's wheelhouse and through forfeits, a few pins and a decision, the matched ended 39-24. Franklin failed to score again. |
| The state of wrestling is down compared to even 10 years ago. Many teams fail to find enough wrestlers to have each weight class filled, so most matches now last around an hour. Pins and forfeits are much more common than six-minute pure strenuous "giving it your all" matchups. Not sure if wrestling is on its decline towards being ranked with the dinosaurs or Greek mythology lessons, or if it is just in a lull waiting for the next great inspiration to rejuvenate the sport? Either way, the quality of matches just ain't what they used to be, though there are still some very fine wrestlers getting out there under the harsh center of the mat lighting and trying to improve their skills enough to be ready for the postseason and hopefully a trip to Hershey. |  |
