2021 Team Texas Junior Duals-Freestyle Men

The 2021 Junior National Duals-Freestyle has finally ended after a 2-day battle in Tulsa Oklahoma.  Texas Junior Men had 2 freestyle teams this year, Team A & B with Team A having the better squad with 3 state champs Kenneth Hendriksen, Darwin Hull, and Eli Sheeren.  
Neither team will have an All Team All American this year, both teams got off to a rough start as neither team won a match in their first round on Friday against Wisconsin and Ohio but the 2^nd round things got better.

Team A whom in the Greco Roman bracket had to settle for 7^th placed on how the brackets were drawn and Team B got spring boarded into the 5^th place dual.  Team A & B got the opposite in the freestyle brackets and Team A got spring boarded into the 5^th place dual after a loss to Minnesota Red in the consolation semifinals.  Team A wins the dual against Indiana on criteria with the final score 33-33 placing 5^th in their pool.  Team B shorthanded as they was gave a good battle in their pool but had to settle for 8^th place.

Team A made the Red/Blue Pool and reeled off 2 more wins against Georgia Red 41-30 and narrowly against Alabama 34-32 but dropped the last dual of the pool to Florida 49-20 to face Pennsylvania for 3^rd place over all in the pool and get the win 37-32 placing 19^th over all out of 32 teams.  Darwin Hull was the lone Texan to come back and win all his matches after the first lost going 6-1.

Team B went into the Green/Yellow pool with a 5 team round robin winning their first dual against South Carolina 38-24 then lost the remaining 4 duals to finish 4^th in the pool and 31^st over all.  Tye Frnka sharing the weight at 170 with Bryce Milster went a true perfect 3-0 with no forfeits as wins, however you gotta have 5 wins to make the All American Team. Frnka is the only undefeated Texan though from both teams.  Vincenzo Olivia and Joshua Yorek over gave up one the loss in their first dual and won the rest at 6-1.
