FHSAA District Championships at Northeast HS, St. Pete, FL 013114 Perfectly executed 8 second spladle/pin Dustin Watt v. Mitchell Kerr (Dixie Hollins H.S.)
Unfortunately, he didn’t really know it was happening. If he knew, he could have just let go and not been victim in this slightly popular video! Positively, he is wrestling, he should be ok.
@@EvolveOutdoors they don't know what google recommends. No human has total oversight of all of the actvities of the bots. The would-be manipulators don;t know enough programming or engineering to really use it like they would. So it is way less nefarious. It is simply inaccessible to people without specific training and the odd polymath ;)
I once set the record for the fastest pin in my schools history. 12 seconds. Still don't know what happened. One minute looking at my opponent next I was staring at the ceiling.
I've been pinned in 5 by my team captain. To be fair, this was after a full 6 minute boute against another teammate as we were all vying for the same weight class position.
All the hard work, training, practicing, eating healthy.... over in 8 seconds. Poor kid. I hope this isn't the end for him and he has a good coach/parents to get him training for next year.
Yea he will get plenty opportunities to redeem himself I lost every match but 1 my first season that wasn’t a forfeit. But it was just that 1 win that made me fall in love with wrestling 🤼♂️. That was 6 years ago.
@@johnbowden5018 I never cried but there was always noticable disappointment on my face when I lost but I just know next year I'm coming back and winning state
Hey I take offense to that, I was one of those lenky guys! lol I was 6' 3" wrestling 171 class. Funny thing is, before I started wrestling I always thought the idea wrestler would be short big and stocky guys. It was later that I realized some of the toughest and best wrestlers were tall lanky ones that could really spread out when opponents would shoot on them. Though personally I was never big on the spladle. But the cradle? I made that move my masterpiece. : )
@@Unclecarlfather idk my wrestling coach always said to shoot off the whistle but you gotta watch out for them takedown defense to spladle 6’ 140 lbs hunters
Wrestler: "I've studied every hold and every move, practiced and practiced all of 'em. I've got a counter for every move and hold invented." Coach: "Even a spladle?" Wrestler: "A what now?"
People in the comments are hilarious. It was a sweet move! Props to the kid who pulled it off! However, acting like the other kid is a scrub or he should be ashamed is crazy! This happened to my teammate who went on to be a three time state qualifier and wrestled D1. We were all kind of in shock watching it, but people get pinned (it happens). Our coach went over spladles in the practices following, and I never saw another teammate get hit with one.
I've got a jujitsu buddy who got caught with a flying armbar. He definitely made someone's highlight reel. He was a good sport, but man, was he embarrassed.
Area finals, 1994. Best tournament I had ever wrestled. Had beat my arch nemesis in the semi-finals. Completely pumped and ready to win my first every tournament. 32 seconds later I'm walking back to my coach and he's shaking his head in disbelief. I felt that kids pain. I felt it.
I’ve been that kid before. I don’t know how to explain how hard it is to not cry in front of hundreds of people when you were just embarrassed in front of all of them. Edit:(insert generic compliment thanking people for liking my comment)
Not hard to understand if you've ever competed. We're all better men for the humility checks and lessons we learn. "Better to have tried and failed then not tried at all"
@it is all lies well because buddy your failures should have led you to Jesus our lord and savior. It is because you are trying to do thing in your own strength after failing and failing again and again. We must humble ourselves and know we can’t do life by our own strength we need Jesus brother. I love you and hope you have a great day today.

@@rasta1017 For people (like me) who aren't familiar with wrestling, it's NOT obvious who won. I got the impression that the guy in black won, but only because he tensed his body at the end, indicating that he flipped over to that position on purpose. I thought (wrongly) that the you lose when your shoulders touch the the mat. Well, the guy in black was flat on his back, while we couldn't really see the guy in blue. Wasn't the blue guy's head on TOP of the guy in black? That's why it kinda looked like they pinned each other.
I hit this move twice in high school almost 25 years ago. Great move. I remember the referee was shocked both times and didn’t know what the heck happened. Also the gator roll, and golden armband.
Hope this kid got some recognition, the varsity captain my sophomore year got an 8 second pin and our coach refused to put it forward for a record in the state hs wrestling newsletter, because it was "too easy".
I'm a ref as well... by the time he got in position to count near fall, let alone the fall, the situation had not changed, and it was clearly not going to change...it was a clean and clear fall and the ref in this video did the correct call
I was a three sport athlete. I wanted to try something different in 7th grade. I was already on the basketball team but I got talked into wrestling by the coach. Needless to say I was 6-4 and realized that wrestling is the hardest, physically demanding sport that I've competed in.
In PA, the toughest state in the country, Jason Betz was a 3x PA State champion who only had 1 loss in his freshman season. 1995 His senior year in the state semis he was pinned in a spladle for only his 2nd high school loss. It happens to the absolute VERY BEST.
The kid in the black must have felt so great. There’s nothing like making a good move while also making your enemy cry. “See your enemies driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women”
Why was he crying at the end? If he focuses on training he'll improve and build on his own special techniques. So lift your head up high, you did the best you could and at least you're out there trying.
I thought me scoring a 24 second pin in high school was fast. Yeeesh. I hit play, I looked away because my 7 year old son asked “Would you rather own a horse the size of a cat or a cat the size of a horse?”, I turned back to the phone and I needed to hit replay. Nice win 🥇
I did the same move on a guy in a match in 1985-86 wrestling in eighth grade! I got the fastest pin for that match! It’s called the crucifix! Not only that but I went on to go undefeated and have the most team points as well!The highlight of my life!
Sad that people will laugh about a kid crying because he got beat. I understand thats part of life, but I cry when I lose a dog. Thats part of life as well. Good bet that the kid worked pretty hard and the loss was overwhelming. People need to show some class.
Those people have never worked towards anything as much as that kid worked for that competition. And to have all your hardwork just bypassed so fast. Its heartbreaking.
Kid that lost was immediately thinking “shit this L is going on TH-cam”
@Baxter James yeah well I seriously bet he was. Stay outta my comments Baxter
@@warweaponx6629 lmao “bad baxter, BAD BAXTER!”

That was truly funny. I hope he's been training since then. A lot. He all most penned himself.

After the single leg he should have had his legs out on his toes he lost as soon as he gave up his leverage to the taller guy.

At first glance, the tornado headgear made it seem as though he would be the one getting spladled. But once you see the warm up and stance, we knew.
I’ve learned from experience that some of the funkiest kids look like complete fish
As a former fish, can confirm that is our traditional warm up dance.
@@imupstairsbaby thats a wierd insult lmao
I knew from the body language when they first started, I’ve been the kid that got throttled and I know I wasn’t confident before the match

What is a fish
What is throttled
