Turning 2 into 5

This is a really cool match. It shows many interesting things. Both of these highschool seniors definitely have smooth technique which has resulted in multiple state championships for each. Another thing I really like here is Biscaha turning 2 into 5. Directly off of takedowns he is working into tilts. I like it! Also, he is such a tough rider based off of basic principles of wrestling. Ride behind the arms, stay in good position, look for wrist control, and then turn it directly into a tilt. This also hits on some of the mental side of the competition. Some times, the match should be a lot closer than it is, but a near fall or extra points gets one wrestler on a roll and the best protection is building your lead. The final thing about this match that is so cool, is that it shows another reason why wrestling is so awesome. No matter how bad you are losing, you are never completely out of it. The Oklahoma kid is down by 11, but catches a neck wrench and almost gets the pin!
