I watched the whole match and was very unimpressed with both wrestlers. I have been able to watch Hoover wrestle several times over his career and have enjoyed his matches. If I'm not mistaken, Hill cut him twice and was also called for stalling twice during regulation. Hill scored the first takedown and also escaped. In overtime, Hill was dinged for stalling again which ended the match. I think that Hill should have been called for stalling during regulation and the match should have never went in to overtime in the first place. All he did the entire second and third period was block off and back up. In Hill's defense though, I think that Hoover could have been (and should have been) called for stalling as well. He did not work for a shot the entire second and third period. He just lowered his head and pushed Hill around. It was like he was working more for a stalling call than he was for a takedown. I think that both wrestlers will turn themselves around and both should do well in the finals at state, but not if they wrestle like they did last weekend.
