Pat McKee's High-Scoring Fargo Title Run
Pat McKee's High-Scoring Fargo Title Run
The Junior Men's Freestyle field at 120-pounds was seriously stacked, and Patrick McKee was the last man standing after it was all said and done.
14-13, 16-14, and 19-17. Those are just a few of the scores from Patrick McKee's national championship run last week in Fargo, ND.
The Junior Men's Freestyle field at 120 pounds was seriously stacked, and McKee was the last man standing after it was all said and done. On the way to the top, McKee defeated No. 9 Tommy Hoskins in the quarterfinals, last year's Fargo runner-up Rayvon Foley in the semifinals, and No. 6 Joey Melendez in the finals to win it all.
Even with all of that in mind, it still doesn't do justice to McKee's fantastic run through the tournament. Take a look back at each of his matches below:
Finals: Patrick McKee vs. No. 6 Joey Melendez, IL
Semifinals: Patrick McKee vs. Rayvon Foley, MI
Quarterfinals: Patrick McKee vs. No. 9 Tommy Hoskins, Ohio
Round 1: Patrick McKee def. Xavier Rico, AZ, 14-13
Round 2: Patrick McKee tf. Van Schmidt, NE, 14-4
Round 3: Patrick McKee p. Cooper Hunt, WI, 0:38
Round 4: Patrick McKee def. Joseph Heilmann, NJ, 14-6
