Weekend Upsets with WrestleStat - Week 13 2018-2019

[andegre 107]

Surprising small number of upsets this weekend, despite all of the drama.

Ian Parker of Iowa State had a great weekend knocking off 2 top 20 wrestlers. First was #16 Dom Demas of Oklahoma, then he followed that up on Sunday taking out #5 Kaid Brock of Oklahoma State.

#62 Eric Barone of Illinois knocked off #7 Kaleb Young of Iowa in their dual, and #61 Evan Barczak beat #9 Justin McCoy of Virginia at the Appalachian Open.

The last major upset that I'll mention is #27 Korbin Myers knocking off #10 Micky Phillippi. Phillippi is ranked as high as #2 in some other ranking services since he knocked off Fix, so this is a big upset.

Ian Parker had a great weekend. 

Happy for Korbin Myers too. He lost to Phillippi a bunch of times in high school, but it was always a match. I think this is the first time he got the win. It is nice to see him get a solid win at the end of his career. Phillippi has plenty of time and this loss only helps him, so I'd say win-win

Also - the Jeffries win over Degan is bizarre. It isn't the craziest upset, but the score is unexpected. Did anybody see what happened? Did Jeffries dominate? one big sequence?

How soon we forget Pantaleo over Hayes.
