MATCH 1
Simon Jackson vs Marlon Clemens
Simon Jackson 5'11" 167 18yo
Marlon Clemons 6'1" 177 18yo
These two teens were co-captains of their HS wrestling teams. Having just graduated, they were both ready to test each other in a submission match. Lots of competition between these two tough teens. Marlon (red speedos) is a little bigger and lot more cut than Simon (purple speedos). But Simon has speed and agility on his side. Both are in excellent shape and NHB was prepared to have a "long brawl" between these two "kids".
There is only one submission in this match that takes place after more than twenty-four minutes of wrestling. No breaks, no stops ù they are in the "Rec Room" and neither was about to go home the loser. Lots of collegiate wrestling here as each tries to get more comfortable with the submission style. (They both want to wrestle J. Barr.) It's really great to see one of these tough teens in a "safe" collegiate position, then be taken down in a submission lock. It's excellent to see the struggle, the power, moves and holds, until finally there is a winner, and there definitely is just "one" winner.
You can expect to see a lot more of these two teens on NHB BATTLE wrestling.
Match 2
Brandon Aldrich vs Marlon Clemens
Brandon Aldrich 6' 191 23yo
Marlon Clemons 6'1" 177 18yo
Brandon (white speedos) very willingly accepted the challenge from Marlon (blue speedos). Brandon wanted the younger HS wrestling co-captain in a submission (Sambo) match. Marlon was ready. He wanted to show the "older kid" how to wrestle. They met in the Rec Room on a hot summer night and went at it.
The verbal abuse was flying in this match. It's a good thing these two guys have a respect for each other, or the fists might have been flying too. Marlon is at first intimidated by the size and especially by the powerful grip of Brandon. Marlon has a lot of trouble getting out of the many head locks and holds that Brandon loves to use. Brandon is initially impressed by the power that Marlon has in him upper body (although NHB warned him before the match). When Brandon goes to his back and wrestles, Marlon really doesn't know how to handle him since that is never done in HS Collegiate wrestling. This is a great match-up.
But it's Marlon's strong and deceivingly powerful legs that eventually get Brandon. Brandon can't believe how strong Marlon's legs are (he leg presses 435). Brandon gets crushed and eventually submits. Now Marlon knows what hold to get Brandon into for the submission. Things get very interesting in the subsequent matches as Marlon keeps going for multiple leg holds and locks and Brandon uses all his skill, power and size to avoid those legs.
Great wrestling, super submission match.
