quote:
Fitch became interested in wrestling after watching her older brothers competing, and fought against them when she was younger. She said at first she had to convince her parents to let her wrestle. “I nagged my parents, basically, because I wanted to do what [my brothers] did,” Fitch told the Independent Tribune in 2018. “They didn’t want me to wrestle. I’m pretty sure it was because they didn’t want me to get hurt. But I would just be like, ‘Well, if they can do it, then I should be able to do it.’”

On Saturday, her perseverance paid off. “I just wrestled my best, and I kind of dominated the match, if I’m being honest,” Fitch told WTVD.

North Carolina isn't known as a wrestling hot bed...and that match showed why

Daponch•50 months

Definitely

Amazing accomplishment for her. The fact that they let her wrestle males is exposing the governing body to a lot of risk

Daponch•50 months

That is some real weak competition for a state wrestling tournament

Datbayoubengal•50 months

Pretty sure she's just stronger than that guy (better technique too).

Rex Feral•50 months

Better technique will usually win out if they're both the same size.

I’d move to another country if I was the guy that got beat by her.

This boy's friends will never let him live that down.

And they shouldn't. Dudes should be embarrassed.

Wrestling is different from many sports, being divided by weight class. I'd imagine though, that generally, testosterone would give a guy an advantage over an equal weight female? Though here, it looks like she outmaneuvered him, so brute strength isn't everything.

That was a heck of a move she made to get out of that hold and turn the tables on that dude. Her brothers taught her well.

Pandy Fackler•50 months

Man that kid's gotta lifetime's worth of whacking material now.

Rex Feral•50 months

If I was him, I'd consider it an accomplishment he didn't get an erection.

Rex Feral•50 months

But did you cop a feel?

WhoDatNC•50 months

Well she’s probably a guy so.....

patnuh•50 months

Google her. She weighs 106 lbs. the boys she beat look like they’re in 7th grade. Good for her, but hold on before anointing her wwf champ.

ExpoTiger•50 months

If it’s a female that was born a female and those boys are in her age and weight class then it’s an incredible accomplishment.

Hangit•50 months

She is. Her brothers all wrestled and it was all she evet knew since she was a child. She is just a Jr. in high school.

denvertiger•50 months

WWF? Jesus H some of you are clueless

mmtiger•50 months

how would you like to be the guy that lost? he will never live that down.

SomeLSUguy•50 months

Interesting that NC would allow girls to compete against males in such a physically engaging sport in which your competitor is not wearing a lot. It is not like she beat them in basketball or football... this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

People downvote but there was a big deal about a male water polo player groping a female in Illinois a few years ago.

jpbTiger•50 months

Was “she” born with testicles? These days you gotta ask..... you

Jag_Warrior•50 months

First thing that I thought of too. Like you said, in these weird times, ya gotta ask.

ExpoTiger•50 months

Sadly this is a legit question now.
