Stephen pinned all four of his opponents, and Tucker continues to score points in bunches with his high-energy pace he maintains all match. Another wrestler I was impressed with was Matthew Young, who was trailing 5 – 0 after the first period in his consolation quarter match before getting a pin in the third period.”
