If I recall correctly I don't think Medgaludis was taken down for a few years in high school.

---

After watching Meg it doesn't surprise me he doesn't get taken down much. He was really defensive against McD and seemed content trying to tie his hands and elbow up. He is able to keep it close with better kids because from what I have seen he doesn't attemp to many legit shots.

So your telling me that he has been taken down only 3 times this year? If I remember correctly he has 5 loses now so only giving up 2 TD to Sanders and 1 to McD how the hell did he lose the other 3 matches? I find this stat hard to believe when he has 5 loses.

Perelli took Megaludis down quite a few times at the Southern Scuffle. Mega has definitely given up more than 5 takedowns this season, maybe that's just a dual meet statistic.

I don't think that TD record can be right. I'm sure Perelli took him down a couple of times--I think once or twice in each win. Maybe that's for dual meets.

That explains my surprise. I got that from the program from Sunday's match and, yes, that is a dual meet stat. But he didn't get the 28 takedowns by not wrestling. One of his five losses was a DQ where he was shutting out his opponent iirc. So whatever takedowns Perelli got would be added to the three. That's it for the year. So somewhere around 50 takedowns for and 7 against (Sanders, McD and Perelli).

Maybe he lost to Sanders' people that badly. But he lost to Sanders 6-2.
