Who's #1 Announcement: Fargo Rematch
The match was so good that we need to run it back in folkstyle. Last week in Fargo, ND, Anthony Artalona made one hell of a comeback in the Junior Freestyle semifinals to get the 10-10 criteria win over then-No. 1 Sammy Sasso. 

A Florida native, Artalona went on to defeat Kaden Gfeller and capture not only the 145-pound title but also rise to No. 1 in the rankings, making Sasso the one now in the hunt to regain it. So on October 8, the multiple-time Fargo champ from the Sunshine State will step into Sasso's backyard at Grace Hall in Bethlehem, PA, at Who's #1 with the top spot on the line.
