Flo's Feature 5: The 5 Best Matches Of The Week
FloWrestling was all over the country this weekend capturing the best matches.  Here were the top 5 matches we caught on camera this week. What were your 5 favorite this week?

5.  #15 Edwin Cooper, Iowa vs #4 Tommy Gantt, NC State
The final score may be a little misleading for how competitive this match was. Along with some great leg attacks and scrambles from both sides we also had a few extra curricular moments that made this one all the more entertaining.  We had a few extra hard clubs, a face mush and a stare down all with the backdrop of a pretty wild Carver crowd.


4. Jimmy Gulibon, PSU vs #1 Dean Heil, Ok State
The first of two times we’ll see Heil on this list.  I think this match showed us quite a few things.  On the one hand, it was another glimmer of hope for PSU fans and Gulibon.  He looked tough, was getting to legs and looked dangerous from short offense.  What I found the most interesting was EVERY time the momentum got behind Jimmy and the crowd started to really amp up and the upset looked like a possibility, Heil answered with a takedown or something to stop the momentum.  Coming off his first loss, this told me a lot about Dean.


3. #4 Chandler Rogers, Ok State vs #3 Ethan Ramos, UNC
This very well could have been the match that ensured Rogers the starting job for Oklahoma State.  His fearless attacks and unorthodox style makes him a scary proposition for anyone, even someone as solid and fundamental as Ethan Ramos.


2. #1 Dean Heil, Ok State vs #4 Joey Ward, UNC
So far I think there is one, maybe two only who can scramble with Dean Heil.  Joey Ward showed last week that he was one of the two.  He didn’t simply survive the scrambles, he threatened Dean and nearly scored off of them.  He put Heil away with a slick, slick, slick inside trip in OT.

1. #6 Evan Henderson, UNC vs #15 Anthony Collica, Ok State
There was a lot to process here. Henderson took the early lead scoring first, Collica answered with a TD of his own.  Then Collica catches Henderson aggressively working for a cradle to get a reversal.  Henderson had some nice leg attacks but couldn’t finish.  The final scramble that set up the cradle was a  thing of beauty from Collica.  Is he rounding into an AA contender yet after a rocky start?
