Walker vs Apland?

[IHSAWrestleFan]

That's a really odd evaluation JAMFISHING. I guess you could flip flop two words in your post (Walker and Apland) and the same would be true. Walker is a pinner as well. He also has wrestled a lot of full 6 minute matches this year and has a crap load of takedowns (he is a machine on his feet).
You are absolutely right though.... it's all about strengths and weaknesses. Walker hasn't been in that position (on his back) for a couple of years. He's no slouch by any means, and I am sure that he has learned from what happened last night.

Apland better not go to his back or It could be lights out. My point is if Walker pins wrestler A and Apland beats wrestler A by 10-3, this does not mean Walker will beat Apland.

Apland is going to send him home crying again next week. Ben is a beast I did call Apland to win but I didnt expect him to stick Walker. Apland to much of a technician for anyone in this state right now.

For those of us who really want to know about the match. Can we get a break down of what happened.....not just (walker got caught)...what did he get caught with

[wrestle777]

He didn't get caught, Walker shot a single and got it off the ground and Apland got out with ease. Then Apland got in and took him to his back and pinned him.

You definately shouldn't do play by play. Walker had a nice shot, something Apland didn't attempt. Apland defended nicely (not easily). They got back to their feet and Apland snapped Walker down to his knees and spun around him. It wasn't as easy as you made it out to be. Apland looked tough, but there is no doubt that Walker had a bad night in my opinion, and I've seen that kid wrestle hundreds of matches.

Apland got out right away when Walker had his leg.
