1st period: she stalled quite a bit, but she defended all of his shots well.. Good sprawls and recovery 2nd period: she tilted the shit out of him in that arm bar and he was essentially helpless.. Dude wasn't amazing, but he wasn't a fish 3rd period: she went back to stalling from bottom, but the SMASHED that granby at the end.. Shit was textbook This is 1A wrestling in North Carolina... Not a lot of good competition, but props to this girl for killin it.. There was a girl at 106 when I was at NCHSAA states, and she stuck the dude projected to win it.. This girl actually dominated the whole match, easy opponent or not.. Also, this is the State Finals, right? Dude was at least good enough to beat everyone before her
@@bottlesflying yeah man, with 9 seconds to go; I sure would have stalled him out. But that's the difference between Heaven Fitch, and a mediocre wrestler like me. That high, spread-leg granby was nice. And showed she is NEVER just gonna stall for the win.
Impressive, yes! But she's also fierce and strong, trying to deprieve the guy from even taking some much needed respite while she was ahead on points. Disheartening.
@@IN-ox6ii "Quit the virtue signalling and female worshipping white knight, your making it obvious that you have a perverted interest in getting dominated by females and watching other boys getting dominated by girls, yeah the girl beat the boy on "points" it's nothing new grow up."
Even though I have to give props to Heaven, I will equally have to give props to every guy that lost to her and was at least man enough to give her the respect as an athlete that she is rightfully do. Used to play basketball with a friend of mine named Jasmine now and again back in the day and the damn girl mostly beat the crap out of me mercilessly. Was fun. 😉
@@onlyone23km Because they aren't as strong as men are, men hold most records, yet you seem to forget all that and keep going with your feminist narrative
It took ~16 months but Luke Wilson got his redemption. He and Heaven Fitch re-matched yesterday (6-26-2021) at the North Carolina State Tournament. He defeated her 6-4 in overtime and advanced to the finals where he knocked off the undefeated #1 seed and won the state title. Congratulations to Luke for not giving up. He goes out on top and ends his high school wrestling career as a state champion.
Idk anything about wrestling at all and heard that this girl is making history. I can see why, that match was entertaining. Her determination and positivity certainly shines which will translate into success in her life. Very good for her!
@@ЯковН-ю9х I dunno, you can watch Heaven wrestle girls too, and she still demonstrates power, stamina and technical proficiency. Political agenda or not, she can wrestle.
Man people can not help but be extreme to ether side huh. Look she is the 8th ranked girl in the country in her weight. Also she is a fargo all american. She is clearly much better then the competition. If you say she sucks you do not have a clue and should probably shut up. However it is also true. That North Carolina is a very weak wrestling state and she would likely not do as well in the tougher states. She is an excellent wrestler who achieved a goal and will likely compete at the next level. None of the boys she beat can say the samething.
@@christianbroughton1409 yeah, other states are tougher, Ohio, California, New Jersey, Illinois, Iowa Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania (number one), and down south Georgia and Florida. Texas is solid now and Oklahoma has been a player for a very long time. So exactly what is your point?
once you’ve developed enough technique from the top position, you don’t need too much strength to turn your opponent. As expected, she got overpowered on her feet, but coped with it nicely. Well played, Heaven, I am in awe.
Theres not a lot of people at the North Carolina High School State Championships. I like how Indiana's is one match under the lights... But this girl winning state vs boys is impressive, mad props to her... Not only did she win/she put in work majoring him... Hope she continues to wrestle and succeed
"Oh please the girl isn't impressive at all yes she won a state title, but her opponents didn't exactly put in any effort or even try to even beat her, most of them just practically let her drag them around the matt, so quit the virtue signalling and female worshipping cause girls aren't impressed with submissive males, it's embarrassing."
Emilygirl201 If he’s female worshipping your female bullying. Stop trying to take away her accomplishment saying her opponents let her win and didn’t try. Give the girl some credit she earned it
@@jessm9751 "No sorry I look at the actual facts and analyse the match properly, and don't just form an opinion on a biased rhetoric the girl was weak overall and her opponents, clearly weren't trying and like I said practically allowed her to drag them around the mat, I'm not going to claim her good just because she is a girl."
Not saying she isn’t good...but boys that age are terrified of being labeled a creep or something if he accidentally touches her the wrong way. Gotta be extra careful these days. Congrats to the girl for competing hard though.
Her set up for back points for the chicken wing was so simple yet perfect. Let the guys stand up, have a wing and wrist control, trip to the ground, turn the hips and walk towards his head and get 3 points. She did it BOTH times and it was awesome lol. She dominated on the ground.
"No she was rubbish and her performance overall was weak, the only reason she won was because her opponents weren't trying and practically allowed her to drag them around the mat, so quit with the female worshipping and virtue signalling."
@@GIRLRAZR "Why? would he forfeit the match if he thought he could win and thought the girl was going to be an easy win duh!, if you actually looked at the match tho the boy wasn't even trying to beat her, if the boy wanted to he could have gone straight threw her like you see these numerous boys who can beat girls do, but he didn't because he wasn't committed to the match and wasn't even trying, that is why he lost the match and the only reason why the girl won, so grow up silly little girl who has a perverse interest in watching boys getting beaten by girls."
My only thing is, and I could be totally wrong. But at 106lb I would think most boys she gets to wrestle would be sophomores or freshman since most guys don’t stay 106 as they mature. Would be a big advantage if she’s a senior and gets to wrestling a good amount of freshman and sophomores. Again I could be totally wrong about this. And regardless she’s clearly very good
@Joseph Dutton Most successful D1 125 lbs wrestlers are not that weight walking around. There is a term "walking weight" which is their weight normally and competition weight. A man who competes at 125 is close to 150 normally. I know some MMA fighters at 125 and none of them are less than 145 when they are not cutting. I know a top Muay Tai fighter at 147 and he normally weighs 170.
@@knightawz pretty sure my 100 pound daughter could beat your squat, deadlift, power clean, and maybe your bench. I know she can do more pull ups than you.
@@scottg6754 you think so stranger? (lol BTW using someone else's achievements to brag about is one of the most pathetic and saddest things to do). I can do 50 push ups at my best. If you're baby girl is soooooo strong prove it! I bet your daughter only exist in your head lol.
This only proves that wrestling is a sport of skill and not just brute strength like so many who never wrestled before assume. Most think the 'bigger or stronger wrestler wins every time'. Not saying Heaven isn't strong but following the laws of genetics I would say most of the male opponents she has defeated along the way were physically strong than her. So, that makes it even more impressive for what she's done since her skill level has to be that much better than her male opponents to overcome that strength difference.
Drew Hanson I had two female state champs on my wrestling team in HS. They couldn’t beat any of the men on the team not because the men were better, but they were all at least twice as strong as them. But these girls were a heavier weight class at 140s so they were fighting more matured boys than 104s here. Maybe that is part of the reason she was able to win. Idk. This is new territory
@@abuhajaar2533 I literally work out with females who can squat and dead lift more than 400 pounds. There is one girl at 114 pounds deadlifted 377, a squat of 360 I think, and something like a 175 bench. No cheat gym stuff. Those are completion lifts.
Scott g well that’s rare but when you train for a few lifts you can get strong in them. But every guy on the wrestling team could lift that much but not at 114. I was 140s lifting that much and I was one of the stronger ones. Keep in mind we’re talking about high schoolers here and we also didn’t train for lifting nor did we try to max out because it was excessive strain on our bodies for no reason. Conditioning is far more important. This girl can probably deadlift 225 max. Also I’ll point out that being able to lift heavy doesn’t amount to much in a wrestling match. You’re not deadlifting your opponent into submission. It really involves a lot more of you.
@@abuhajaar2533 actually you need to have representative strength. It doesn't mean you will win but if you are genetically weak you have a low ceiling even with technique. At the HS level, at the lighter weights, elite girls can compete well. I am NOT making the case girls/women will beat boys/men at an elite level in any sport. What I will say is elite women will trash anybody who is a neophyte. My 100 pound daughter has all kinds of skills, that I can document, and would thrash any male who doesn't have a skill set and under 200 pounds or so. Shoot on ankles, get their back, choke them out. Could any female even compete against any male Olympic wrestling team member. Nah, not close. I have spent dozens of hours at the OTC. They don't wrestle the elite senior athletes boy versus girls. They wrestle the girls with high level HS boys on the way up. Henry Cejudo got his start this way. A friend named Tracy Greiff bankrolled Henry from Arizona to the OTC in Colorado springs, a guy named Sergei Belaglasov (a friend - look him up) was coaching the women's team. Henry was still small. He won easily enough but was a good 'look' for the women and dated one as his first love. He ended up staying in Colorado and the rest is history. I have been doing these two sports for 45 years, at the little kids, to the elite level. Kind of been there done that. Oh, and BTW, I am a competitive old guy powerlifter, unless your gym claims can be validated you are just another 'I can do this or that' without a shred of of proof. LOL, you are kind of a cliche in the 'I am strong' world. Cracks me up. In my local gym I am probably too five. In my power gym I am not ever in the top 50%. Save your platitudes for somebody who can't look things up. BTW, my last power meet, which can be referenced, I blew out a hamstring. Deads and squats were something I could lift. My bench was 225 at 148 age 59. I got 244 up but it was sketchy and I got 2/3 reds. I was set to qualify for Nationals in all lifts and got a detached retina two weeks before my meet.. A messed up injury. So I am shooting for end of May to qualify for Nationals in July. Point of all of this is people who do high level sports have been around, and are a little crazy. Finally, LOL, I am getting on in years and us old guys love to talk about our history.
@@abuhajaar2533 Now wait. They were state champs in the girl's division? If they were state champs on the boys team then how is it they couldn't beat any of the boys?
This is incredible! So proud of this girl! This is just another example of how women are taking over and saving the sport of wrestling. You go girl! You are a hero and an awesome role model for the many girls and women who will be joining you soon with their hands raised by the referee!! Hurrah!
Would of loved to see her wrestle my schools 106 that benched 300 lbs and went D1 in wrestling, track, and is currently training for Olympic weightlifting lol not taking anything away from her but must be a weak division
Not just that, it wasn't reality. Go check WWE twitter for the closer footage. Then try and tell me that Granby roll at the end wasn't 100% unresisted.
amazing to see what heaven has done and all praise and congrats for her amazing win, but my personal opinion this state match looked a little slow and mediocre for a state final. once again great job heaven and I can't wait to see her and what she does in the future
I can see an advantage for girls at lighter weights. At least when I was in high school you would notice that the lighter weights classes were mostly won by freshman. As a girl she could be a senior and still wrestle the ;lighter classes,
That's because making the very lightest weight class becomes extremely hard for upperclass men. Short of being devoid of practically all fat and muscle, it's hard for a boy over 5 feet tall, let alone significantly taller than 5 feet, to be under 106 pounds and less than one out of 500 full grown or nearly full grown boys are under 5 feet tall, probably even less nowadays...
@@gabec6522 Yes but thats because the bigger they get the more muscle mass they have and then the guy wouldnt have to be best wrestler to win just be able to overpower her.
But the thing is, the audience is clearly sexist, the media, even people who don't conside themselves sexist react and share how this boy lost to this girl, everything, just listen to everybody's reaction during the fight. Why should any boy accept afightagainst a girl if the world is clearly not ready for mixed fights. What is there for him to win ifhe beats her? Probably he would be accused of being too harsh or a sexist himself. Why is he on thousands of highlight reels? All based on their different genitalia. It is really pathetic if you think about it. The only way to solve this is to make mixed championships the rule. No more gender based inscriptions. Then with time people will just focus on skill not on genitals. And nobody should have to feel that pressure ""
Wrong. Girls beat boys in wrestling all the time now. It's not a completely uncommon thing. Everyone just accepts that the better wrestler wins. Only an ignorant person would mock this dude for losing to an elite wrestler like Heaven
Pretty awesome she claimed a state title, but I wrestled my entire life in NY and this didn't look like state level wrestling. Is NC not a big wrestling state?
Geoffrey Chippendale this is the 1A division in North Carolina. They break up NC into many “state” divisions resulting in multiple “state” champions. The 1A is supposedly the least competitive division in most states
Yea 1A is the division with the smallest schools, but not necessarily the worst wrestlers.. Just a lot more opportunity for better wrestlers at bigger schools.. 4A is the highest, and generally the most competitive. NC has definitely gotten worse over the years, but has never really been one of the best states for wrestling
I thought the same thing. They didn't look like the skill level that I'm used to in a state final match. Her opponent was either not very good or was throwing the match.
I just wish Danielle Coughlin would’ve gotten the same views and respect that Heaven did. Even Michaela Hutchison didn’t get this much respect, when she beat boys in Alaska for the state title. Dudes are always like “XYZ state is weak in wrestling, so girls winning this is not a big deal.”, and all that bullshit.
Yes she did. Her name was everywhere for weeks. Side story, we were at Nationals in Clorado Springs. Younger kids had to wear head gear, Reni(my kid) forgot hers, Michaela gave Reni her headgear.
the boys she beat, will they now be traumatized? how will they face their 'boys', knowing they got wooped by a girl? jokes part, sports like Tennis, Golf, where no contact is involved, still refuse to have women compete against the men. this is a great move by wrestling breaking down barriers....
breakingf down barriers in the 110 lbs weight class for early teens... wow what a victory, hopefully she starts some T hormones to go through the same puberty those boys will when they double in size and she remains the same. What a joke.
I'm shocked to see this to be honest. Especially her 54-4 record. The boys are suppose to be stronger than her but goes to show that technique always beats strength in Wrestling. Props to Fitch, outstanding performance.
@@andrewrodriguez5822 LOL I know of a lot of middle School boys who won states. NM, NY, and a few others. I coached with a guy who won state as a 7th grader. Nice try though.
Why isn't Luke dominating Her like he did his former male opponents? He never got the higher ground in the match, and once the crowd gave up on him, his male willpower scattered like glass, and she pinned him easily.
Wrestled in Iowa in the early 80s wouldn't even consider females participating. Time changes. Glad to see more females participating in sports dominated by males
@@Musicvidsetc Yes, but equality laws can't discriminate. So either sports stay segregated or integrated, not semi. Iowa is proposing legislation to mandate that students only compete against their birth gender, so coed wrestling will have to go.
@@janefelix3821 Are you sure about that or is it a situation where Iowa is saying if you're a biological boy you can't join the girls team? Also, idk whether there's separate girl's wrestling teams in Iowa. I think there may be b/c it's a big wrestling state
He made it that far by winning his bracket, that is by not losing a single match in the tournament before this one. Pretty impressive even in North Carolina.
@@chrisdavila8556 I don't know for sure but I think NC is in the top half of states. Their college wrestling is outstanding this year. I know NC is not hardcore like PA, OH, CA, NY or NJ state tournaments and it shows in this match. The guy's set ups and shots were unimpressive for a state finals match. And he got turned three times with the same bar arm all on the left side too. Maybe you're used to higher caliber wrestling but the two wrestlers in the vid are the best among hundreds in their state, plenty of them talented and hungry for a state title. I'm from Ohio.
Heaven didn't face better competition because they are all in the other, bigger divisions. Her opponent didn't look like he belonged in any state finals I've ever seen but Heaven beat all challengers and is state champ. It's a great achievement.
Not surprised at the haters on here. They're so threatened by a girl winning a 1A state championship that they feel the need to belittle not only her and her record, but the guys she wrestled against. The guys she beat are easily bigger men than any of the haters here. Insecure much?
@@PromotusAnimations there are four; a champ for each division. And by experience Austin, if you cut that much weight, you won't wrestle well. I tried to do that; because I didn't know any better. It did not go well for me.
Wayne, my daughter used to make boys who started when she did, age 5, look like JV wrestlers, as they got older. Heck, I wrestled world class guys who made me look JV. It is a technical thing. Fury made a good fighter look JV recently.
If a transgender female joined the females' wrestling team, and the transgender female was just as bulk and just as strong as the females no more no less, and the transgender female won against all of the females many, many people especially the females would be protesting and crying about the "unfair advantage" that the transgender female had on the females, and the same would apply in this instance and the roles were reversed and the boys beat Heaven Finch, everybody calling her a hero and a champion would be outraged and in uproar crying about the "unfair advantage" that the boys have on her. Just saying.
"I agree Terry if a trans fem joined a female equivalent there would be a massive uproar and scream about it, just like the trans females dominating track and field."
@@Emilygirl201 Yes, but Civil Rights law may force it as you can't say girls get special rights, that is what gender equality is all about. Either no coed or all coed.
@Ralph Bell Sure Ralph, since you are the expert give me the what for about NY sections. And since NY isn't one state title anymore you now have a weak state division. Keep up on your own state.
I've watched this several times in an attempt to find a positive for Luke, but I've failed. He was outclassed physically and technically. After the initial period of "ballroom dancing", Heaven decided that enough was enough and took him down and that's pretty much where he stayed for the rest of the match. He had a brief spell near the end when he picked up 3 points but she was quickly back on top. Luke was done, he had nothing left and the buzzer saved him from further embarrassment because I'm sure he would have been pinned. Heaven on the other hand looked as though she could do it all again and her victory flex at the end shows that she knew he was well beaten.
Excellent break down @gtijohn69. Yes, a totally dominant victory for a clearly superior female wrestler. Loved her flex at the end. Too bad she didn't get a chance to pin him. I've been seeing a lot of dominant victories by females over males here on RU-vid so this match doesn't even surprise me
@@ohohohitzmagic4536 LOL, my daughter used to just trash boys, and then when they were done they would be friends. When you are bridging off you back the 'she is hot' doesn't come into play
@@chanceyfitch8072 "No she didn't preach liar, excellence? what other words are you going to call her a god next? as you clearly think this girl is unbeatable, let me tell you this girl is rubbish and only won cause she doesn't face real competition, as the boys who lose to her aren't even trying to beat her cause they are holding back, so quit the preaching and virtue signalling, you white knight female worshipper, stop stalking the girl cause you have an obsession over her, also get help for the perverse interest you have in getting dominated by females and watching other boys getting dominated by females." creep!
Props to her, being a wrestler myself I understand the amount of work it takes to reach this point. But neither of these wrestlers would have made it past sectionals here in New York 😂😁
UV BLUE V LOLOLOL I pointed that out but I’m from CA. Opposite coasts but I watched this and I was like wth is this. The varsity wrestlers that don’t go anywhere wrestle better than this. The stoner on our team that wrestled 108s or whatever could have beaten them both. I think CA is just so big that my sections is basically their state. And I was 140s so I had the largest bracket. Maybe another reason is that everyone in NC is fat so this weight class is depleted.
@@abuhajaar2533 yeah for sure New York, California, and also Pennsylvania are each notoriously large wrestling communities with a vast majority of our countries talent. Some smaller states will have so much less competition that reaching a state title becomes stupud easy to achieve. I'll tell you in NY there is some insane talent out there, I've seen plenty of kids who went to school within 30 minutes from my school end up in high tier colleges such as Cornell.
UV BLUE V I usually see the instant talent in the heavyweight class just because there isn’t a lot of them so if you get one that comes in tough he can win state. Hawaii is the easiest. Everyone I’ve ever met from Hawaii that did a sport, qualified in state. Lol
Well seeing as how some of the least populatee states have the majority of top ranked wrestlers, your logic only holds up a little. Yes "bigger talent pool and all" but with wrestling, the podunk states have dominated over the years. You all just making excuses.
This is a reason that people need to quit putting up barriers to combat arms. Yes 90percent of woman will be outclassed physically by mediocre men but then there are the ones that do better than 90 percent of the men. Just like her the obviously won't be the majority but for the ones who can and will make it.
