Great work. I have one piece of advice, though. Your guard, relative to your level and time training, is awesome. You are very aware of what is going on on the mat, but your body type and natural tendencies seem best at playing off of your back. So why bother wasting time/energy wrestling at the beginning of matches? When you fought the kid in matches 1 and 4, his only chance at beating you was 2 points at a time with take-downs. On the mat, he had nothing. So why risk starting 0-2? Even if you actually get the 2 points, or if he pulls guard, you are now on top, when you would probably be a little better off on the bottom. I'd say, at least until you do some wrestling work, practice pulling guard, so that when you are competing, you can focus on the ground battle.
