Would he be our first champ?

 

[ELKMT]

Dick Ballinger( also a Wyoming native) won a title.

 

[wyokoke]

Gotcha. I knew he wrestled for it but didn't know whether he'd won it. From Cody or somewhere up there, right?

 

[castlerocker]

He's from Cheyenne.

Turn on ESPN2 now. After the commercial, Bryce wrestles.

 

[Mr.Large]

Nice try Bryce. Congrats on a good year!

 

[Cowboy Junky]

Fuck!

 

[laxwyo]

Damn, thought he had him a couple times

 

[aranderson]

So close. I hate the feelings he is going through to have been so very close.

 

[PokeTransplant]

Heil should have had at least a second stall call. Great match Bryce!! Get that leg free and Wyoming has their National Champion...

 

[American Horse]

Great job Bryce and entire Poke wrestling team. Once again you have brought some much needed pride to WY athletics.

 

[whyoh]

I don't know anything about wrestling...... But Bryce looked in control the whole time to me

 

[stymeman]

Proud of ya Bryce, Good job. As always Go Pokes

 

[wyokoke]

He'll be back.

 

[aranderson]

Next year is his year. He very well could be a 3 time finalist and two time champ

He'll have to get by Heil, he's also just a sophomore

That match was heart breaking! Meredith did awesome and I thought he touched the osu kids back in the third but anyway he did amazing! Great match and fantastic wrestling by our wrestlers this tournament!

 

[Cowboy Junky]

I thought the stall called in the third really hurt Bryce's chances. He was in a dominant position being above and behind Heil. Heil held on and the ref called the stall, although I thought the ref called it too quick. Bryce was still attacking from his position. You have to give credit to Heil though. That kid is strong. He held on and kept Bryce from getting the takedown.

It was a great match. It's amazing how close the margin is between national champion and not national champion.
