Some impressive execution by Owen. Dude has so much heart. Love it when he moves at bullet-speed. The reversal that Brett calls "SLICK" is downright dazzling. Maybe Owen feels the intentionally mis-matched shoelaces bring luck? In any case they're plain fun. As always, great camera work; thank you!
Is it possible...that an taller than "average" wrestler, such as Owen is...finds it harder to win because of the extra arm and leg length(e.g....contact or grapple surface area(s)" available to any opponent? Is there anything in either high school or college wrestling rules regarding height of players as there are in re weight classes? Great video and glad to see Owen's efforts rewarded! Are Grayslake singlets about to change colors?
There are no rules regarding height, only weight. Being tall can be an advantage or disadvantage... it depends whether or not you know how you use your length. GLN has three singlets currently (gold, silver, and black), so I doubt there will be any new colors this year.

King Owen did it again

Owen was lucky not to lose😊
When did you think he was in danger of losing? He was never behind and never on his back. 🤷♂
