not only will you be called

a champion,

but I guarantee

you'll have inspired

thousands of others

to do the same. All right?!

All right! Let's bring it in,

guys! Oome on!

Matt Hamill, a sophomore

walk-on out of R.I.T.,

is set to take on Jason Sloan,

two-time national champion,

out of Frampton,

for the 167-pound national title.

Hamill...

you got this.

It's up to you now.

Good luck.

Orowd, chanting:

R.I. T! R.I. T!

R.I. T! R.I. T!

R.I. T! R.I. T!

R.I. T!

- Oome on, man.

- R.I. T! R.I. T!

Oome on, Matt! Whoo!

Hamill's had a great first season here,

but hasn't come close

to facing a wrestler

with Sloan's ability

and consistency.

Regardless,

they both look ready to go,

and this should prove to be

an exciting match-up.

And we're under way.

Both wrestlers seem to be

feeling each other out here.

That's it, Matt. Oome on.

Hamill keeping

some good wrist control.

Take him! Oome on!

Oome on, baby! Oome on!

Let's go!

Oome on!

Oome on, Matt!

You got him.

Both wrestlers are really

on top of their game here.

Ah, Sloan tries a shot there,

but Hamill's not having it.

Oome on! Here you go!

Oradle!

Two. Takedown green!

Two-nothing, Sloan.

Lock his head! Lock his head!

- Lock his head!

- Oome on, Matt.

There you go!

Oome on, Matt!

Lock it in!

Lock it in!

Lock it in!

Lock in the head!

And now

he's throwing in his legs,

probably gonna try

his power half.

Oome on!

Go for it!

Drive it down!

Drive it down!

Pin him!

Oome on!

There you go!

And out of time.

Back to the middle, guys.

Well, Hamill got lucky there.

He didn't give up

any back points.

Oome on, Matt!

Let's go! Oome on!

So now we're going

into the second period

with Sloan at two,

Hamill zero.

And here's the coin toss.

Green, your choice.

Top, bottom,

neutral or defer?

Green defers.

Red... top, bottom, or neutral?

Red takes down.

Taking the bottom.

Let's go, Matt.

Taking the bottom.

Let's go, Matt!

Here we go.

Hamill obviously trying

for an escape or a reversal.

He's up.

Oome on!

And out of bounds,

no points.

Back to the middle.

Red still down.

Top man on.

Okay, they're resetting.

Sloan still in top position.

Lock his head!

Oome on, Matt.

Lock his head!

There you go!

Sloan's still dominating

Hamill on the ground.

Lock it up!

Gets him on his back.

Hamill gets back to his base,

but gives up two back points.

Hamill with a Gramby roll

out of nowhere!

That gets Hamill on the board

with one escape point.

Oome on.

Keep it going!

Take control of him now!

Oome on!

Oome on!

- Oome on.

- Get back in there!

Oome on!

Take control of him! Go!

Hamill still trails by three

as this period is coming to an end.

Work something!

Oome on!

Oome on, Jason!

He's yours now!

You can do it.

Oome on.

Whoa, a double-leg from Sloan!

That's it!

You got him!

Yeah!

That's it!

No, no!

Oome on, call that!

Hamill looks hurt.

All right. Injury time.

Injury time? Are you nuts?!

That's a toss, man!

What are you talking about?

Ooach, I didn't see it that way.

Are you crazy?!

Oome on, that's a slam,

and you know it!

Ooach, that's not a slam.

Oome on!

You know that's a slam!

Get back to your corner.

Oome on, you little punk!

Let it go.

Ohampion, my ass!

I got unsportsmanlike,

- R.I.T. Red.

- Give me a break!

You're a bum!

Ooach!

- You're a chump!

- You're gone.

Now Gross is ejected.

Hate to see that, especially now.

Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!

Hammer! Hammer!

Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!

Hammer! Hammer!

Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!

Stop the injury clock!

Matt Hamill is up.

Looks like, yes.

I don't believe what I'm seeing here.

Yes. He's going to continue.

Matt "The Hammer" Hamill

brought back up to his feet.

Ooach Oantrell is now

filling in for Gross.

Your choice.

Green selects bottom.

And here we go.

The third and final period.

All right!

Oome on!

Oome on! Oome on!

Hamill here really

struggling to keep Sloan down.

Oh, he's looking for the half.

He let it go.

He's going for the cradle now.

Oome on, Matt.

Hamill lets Sloan up.

Another point for Sloan.

One, green, escape!

One, green!

That puts Hamill down four.

Good, good!

All right,

he's gonna have to pull out

all the stops here

in the final minutes.

Let's go.

I love you, Matt.

Oome on. Pick it up.

Three, near fall, red!

Three, red!

Yes!

Unbelievable!

He pulled it off!

He got the takedown!

He got the near fall!

And Matt Hamill wins

by decision, six to five.

Matt "The Hammer" Hamill

has dethroned Jason Sloan!

Yes!

Yeah!

There he is, Matt Hamill,

your 167-pound national champion.

Ha! I love you!

I love you! I love you.

Way to go, champ!
