Couldn’t escape and couldn’t ride. Tough first match of the year for amine

Overall it was a good match. Of course we'd like to see more from 125, 141, 157, and 165, but this was the first match. We got confirmation of what we already knew... our upper weights are loaded and are going to be a lot of fun to watch.

So no Hughes, does he redshirt?

 

[CowboyT]

I didn't think he can redshirt. I think they are being careful with his weight, so he doesn't have to make weight so many times in a weekend.
