125

• Marcus Blaze dec. over Matt Ramos (4-1 SV)
• Note: Sheesh. Beat a top 2 kid at your high school level and then follow it up beating a returning NCAA finalist? Most had Ramos #1 at 125. I have Richard Figueroa. But either way, this is beyond impressive for the Perrysburg junior.
• Marcus Blaze dec. over Jax Forrest (9-4)
• Note: Two elite high schoolers, #2 Forrest takes on #3 Blaze in a collegiate open. And they figure to see each other again soon too. This was exactly what you would expect, and ultimately went Blaze’s way late.
• Vinny Kilkeary dec. over Louie Gill (3-0)
• Note: 3 time PIAA state champ Kilkeary (Greater Latrobe) faced current PIAA senior looking for his 2nd state title, Louie Gill. Ultimately, the older Kilkeary came out victorious.

133

• Bo Bassett maj. dec. over Andre Gonzales (11-1)
• Note: Gonzales was a mainstay on the CA podium during his career at Poway. Bassett is a high school sophomore phenom. I was curious to see how this would go. It was all Bassett all the time.

149

• Dylan D’Emilio dec. over Collin Gaj (8-4)
• Note: Another high school kid, Gaj, takes on a solid college opponent. D’Emilio came out of HS about the same level of recruit as Gaj will be in 2025. In the meantime, it was good to see where he is in his progress, especially after the recent loss to Conner Harer. Gaj battled well, looked strong. D’Emilio’s veteran savvy proved a little too much.

174

• Rocco Welsh dec. over Simon Ruiz (4-1)
• Note: Two college true freshmen who finished ranked in the top 2 of their weight classes, Rocco #1. I don’t think they ever saw each other last season, but I would have slightly favored Rocco and that’s basically how it turned out. Both promising youngsters, expected to redshirt.

184

• Ryder Rogotzke fall over Seth Shumate (3:32)
• Note: A pair of recent highly regarded upper weight recruits for the Buckeyes. It was the younger Rogotzke who got the better of this one.
