  1. Niles Kruger Says:

    Dundee fans just started a “Let’s Go Bedford” chant.

  2. Niles Kruger Says:

    It just got loud in here. After individual groups of fans lifted chants for their teams, all of the fans rose together and tried to outshout each other.

  3. Seth Says:

    Let’s go Vikings Let’s Go Mules

  4. mattsmom Says:

    hopefully the Bedford fans will reciprocate. Gotta love the support among rivals!

  5. Seth Says:

  6. Seth Says:

  7. Niles Kruger Says:

    Dundee’s Chris Eggert has been chosen for the honor of carrying the American flag in the Grand March.

  8. Niles Kruger Says:

    The grand march has begun. In keeping with tradition, “We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions” is blasting through the arena. Queen lives on.

  9. Niles Kruger Says:

    Dundee is right behind Bedford in the Grand March.

  10. Dundee - Dave Says:

    Awesome support between Dundee & Bedford fans. I’ve been to the finals before, and both are terrific!

    There might not be a better National Anthem singer in the state that Jeff McInnis of Battle Creek Central.
    If you’ve never been to Battle Creek for the state finals, you should try it sometime. The atmosphere in here is electric.

  17. Niles Kruger Says:

    Starting weight is 189.

  18. Seth Says:

  19. Robin Says:

    Holy crikey, the suspense is killing me! I didn’t even hear Queen and I’m sitting here all misty eyed.

  20. Seth Says:

  21. Seth Says:

    @ 189

  22. richmondbluedevil Says:

    Niles, will you be able to see who wins the coin flips?

  23. Niles Kruger Says:

    An early hole for Dundee: Kyle Elsworth (59-1) pins Dustin Dayvolt.

  24. lazink Says:

    would it be possible to do the cheering on Mllive and leave this for the live updates? If Niles is going to do his best to update the scores it will be difficult to keep this blog from becoming so long that scores will be hard to find.

    Its just a thought.

  25. richmondbluedevil Says:

    *Kyler

  26. Niles Kruger Says:

    Sorry, I did not see the coin flips.

    Bedford still is in the first match Nick Whitenburg leads Corbin Boone 3-1 in the third period.

  35. Niles Kruger Says:

    Whitenburg wins 6-1 to give Bedfod a 3-0 lead.

  36. J.SIMS Says:

    THE HEART OF THE DUNDEE LINEUP STILL TO COME. IT WILL STAY CLOSE.

  37. Niles Kruger Says:

  44. Blop Says:

  45. bedfordfan Says:

    I understand everyone is excited, but Niles is doing a good job and there is no need to keep asking questions that will eventually be answered. Keep up the good work Niles.

  46. Eabhaciar Says:

    DOn’t clutter up the site with stupid predictions!

  47. Seth Says:

    Keep Good Niles

  48. Seth Says:

    Good Work

  49. Niles Kruger Says:

    Holt’s Curtis Ferguson wins a major decision at 285 over Mason Cole, Bedford trails 10-3.

  50. Graynred Says:

    Bedford 3 Holt 6

  51. Graynred Says:

    Zajac pins Szych at 215

  52. Graynred Says:

    Goodrich 12 Dundee 9

  53. Niles Kruger Says:

    A major decision by Derek Borsvold gives Dundee a 13-12 lead.

  54. Seth Says:

    how is dundee doing ??

  55. wrest9 Says:

    interesting that borsvald wrestled. Joe Rendina must still be injured

  56. Seth Says:

    thanks for update Niles

  57. Brenda Says:

    Joey is out for the season

  58. J.SIMS Says:

    Joe has been shut down for the last few weeks since the witt challenge. He’s out of the individual states too.

  59. bedfordfan Says:

    Seth, please stop asking how dundee is doing and what weight there on and all other questions, he is posting the results when they happen. You are just cluttering up the board.

  60. wrest9 Says:

    i thought he might be back by now. nice job borsvald and not treharne?

  61. Seth Says:

    treharna is over look by many people in my opion

  62. Niles Kruger Says:

    Bedford’s J.T. Stevens had a 2-0 lead in the third period when he got caught by Ben Mathieson of Holt and pinned with just 37 seconds left.
    The scoreboard says Holt 16, Bedford 2. Unless it is a mistake, Bedford must have been penalized a team point.

  63. wrest9 Says:

    dang

  64. bridget scott Says:

    congrats nick whitenburg. we love you

  65. Niles Kruger Says:

    A major decision by Josh White over Parker Lovell gives Dundee a 17-12 lead.

  66. wrest9 Says:

    they are bumping Garr up to 125? then britton up 130 overcashier 135 and webber 140. That is my guess.

  67. bridget scott Says:

    its pj stevens

  68. Niles Kruger Says:

    Bedford’s Tom Foxand Corey Leonard of Holt are tied 4-4 heading into the third period.

  69. Niles Kruger Says:

    Sorry, my mistake. It is P.J.

  70. Seth Says:

    i feel bad for that kid for touble he had this seaon with injury

  71. bridget scott Says:

    hes tough thoug

  72. Seth Says:

    i would have say that

  73. Niles Kruger Says:

    Fox gets a near-fall in the final seconds for a 7-4 win. It’s 16-5 Holt.

  74. annapolis1 Says:

    16-5 or 16-6

  75. Niles Kruger Says:

    Pete Rendina wins by major decision at 125 to push Dundee’s lead to 21-12.

  76. wrest9 Says:

    did rendina wrestle Garr? Im sure they bumped Britton up

  77. annapolis1 Says:

    bedford score right?

  78. wrest9 Says:

    16-5 penelty point against bedford

  79. annapolis1 Says:

    For what?

  80. bedfordkid19 Says:

    they losta point after 103

  81. lazink Says:

    Niles thinks there might have been a penalty point against Bedford. He sees it 16 - 5

  82. wrest9 Says:

    probably complaining about pin or stevens doing/saying something that might earn a 1 point penelty

  83. Brenda Says:

    Who is wrestling 130 for Dundee

  84. Niles Kruger Says:

    Holt’s Kyle Hunton pins Cote Sailer making it 22-5 Holt.

  85. bridget scott Says:

    what was the penalty point for?

  86. Niles Kruger Says:

    Dundee’s Brandon Desbrough leads 7-6 in the third period at 130.

  87. wrest9 Says:

    wow, who is he wrestling?

  88. Graynred Says:

    We don’t know for sure, I jsut hope they dont end up needing that 1 pt.

  89. Seth Says:

    yeah strong kid

  90. bridget scott!!go mules!! Says:

    Go Ortman

  91. Blop Says:

    Bedford won’t be able to come back from that deficit

  92. Seth Says:

    he broke nose early in year i think ??

  93. lazink Says:

    there is no way of knowing at this time what the penalty was. I hope Bedford boys stay tough.

  94. Blop Says:

    Who has a stronger lineup left… Bedford or Holt?

  95. Graynred Says:

    We’re getting to Bedford’s strongest weight classes. Don’t count them out!

  96. bridget scott!!go mules!! Says:

    Alex Ortman your bros are with me and they said good luck and they love ya!!! Sometimes!!!LOL

  97. richmondbluedevil Says:

    b/w Bedford and Holt, all their qualifers are at the same weights

  98. bridget scott!!go mules!! Says:

    Bedford we have are best coming up

  99. bedfordkid19 Says:

    stevens got the penalty point for throwing his head gear

  100. Graynred Says:

    Each has state finals qualifiers matching up

  101. Blop Says:

    Whats their strongest weight class other than ortman and osbourne?

  102. Niles Kruger Says:

    Kirk Britton beats Desbrough 13-10. It’s 21-15 Dundee.

  103. dang25 Says:

    nice work desbrough

  104. bridget scott!!go mules!! Says:

    152 nusbauhm

  105. wrest9 Says:

    wonder what wade weighed in at? Hopefully he can bump to 145 to move away from webber

  106. lazink Says:

    Key matchups coming, G.Ankney for holt is very good, need osborne on him maybe Holt is weaker through the next classes. Need 152 and 160 wins for Bedford.

  107. Seth Says:

    i hope they did that

  108. Brenda Says:

    Who is Dundee putting in at 135

  109. Niles Kruger Says:

    Brian Gibbs of Bedford trailed Dustin Miller almost the entire match before getting a reversal late in the third period and back points in the final 10 seconds to win 8-7.
    Holt leads 22-8.

  110. Niles Kruger Says:

    Brad Wade of Dundee and Grant Overcashier of Goodrich are tied 3-3 in the second period.

  111. Seth Says:

    come on wade we need you pull threw

  112. wrest9 Says:

    Wade beating Overcashier would be HUGE

  113. Seth Says:

    it would be huge win for wade and the vikings

  114. Bones Says:

    what weight is holt-bedford at?

  115. Viking fan Says:

    Wade doesn’t deserve to be wrestling with his drunk driving arrest earlier last month

  116. Niles Kruger Says:

    Overchasier beats Wade 6-3 to pull Goodrich within 21-18.

  117. wrest9 Says:

    keep it off the forum viking fan. This is a wrestling site. keep that junk off here!

  118. lazink Says:

    Bedford and Holt must be at 130 Hopefully Ankney vs Osborne

  119. wrest9 Says:

    about to be 24 21 goodrich

  120. J.SIMS Says:

    THE LINEUP FOR THE VIKINGS WILL NOW ENTER THE NOT SO STRONG POINT. THE PIN ON DAYVOLT COULD BE HUGE

  121. Niles Kruger Says:

    Billy Osborne of Bedford and Grant Ankney of Holt are tied 3-3 in the third period of their 130-pound match.

  122. Viking fan Says:

    f-u queer

    ankney 4-3

  139. Niles Kruger Says:

    Dundee still leads 21-18, but Mike Heikkila of the Vikings trails 18-5 heading into the third period at 140.

  140. Seth Says:

    man! come on Vikings

  141. Niles Kruger Says:

    A technical fall by Mark Weber over Heikkila puts Goodrich up 23-21.

  142. bridget scott!!go mules!! Says:

    bedfords tough wieght classes coming up

  143. wrest9 Says:

    tech better than a pin. Nice job Mike

  144. Blop Says:

  151. Niles Kruger Says:

    Bedford’s Mike Peck does it again. A pin in 1:10 at 135 brings Bedford within 25-14.

  152. lazink Says:

    No That could be all the scoring for Holt.
