Bo Bassett has already emerged successful in redefining the high school wrestling scene with his unparalleled drive and back-to-back wins. But guess what? He isn’t done yet! The 17-year-old wrestler claimed his third Super 32 challenge at 144 pounds, adding a feather to his latest feats. But right after the victorious showdown, the young man is aiming for something never achieved before. Revealing his biggest goal standing in the present scenario, Bassett proved yet again why he’s one of the most talked-about young athletes in the sport. 

After an electrifying showdown with Daniel Zepeda, Bassett cemented his dominance in Greensboro, North Carolina. His audacious moves, strategy, and winning streak have already set him apart from his peers. Although he has garnered criticism alongside praise for his flashy style on the mat, he remains undeterred in chasing victories. But now, after making a statement by defeating Zepeda, Bo Bassett is not just chasing accolades but history!

Bo Bassett eyes history, aiming for an unprecedented fourth Super 32 title 

For the uninitiated, the Super 32 Challenge is one of the most prestigious high school wrestling tournaments in the country. And securing a win in the same is not an easy feat. But for Bassett, it seems to be part of his regular chores. Bassett has managed to win the Super 32 challenge not once or twice but is a three-time Super 32 champion. And now he is looking forward to doing something no one has done before. Winning the Super 32 challenge four consecutive times during his high school years!

After the victory in the 2024 Super 32 Championship, Bassett was caught in a candid conversation with WIN Magazine. While throwing light on his feelings after winning the third Super 32 title, Bo Bassett shared how he is aiming to cement his status as the ‘only one’ in the records book. Reflecting on his next goal, he stated, “No one’s ever done four in high school. That’s my goal; be the first ever and go down maybe as the only one ever.” Bassett’s impeccable prowess on the mat and winning streak have caught the attention of the wrestling world, including NCAA prospects. 

However, as of now, his focus remains squarely on the Super 32. As he puts it, “…right now it’s one of the hardest things to do in wrestling. No one’s ever done it… People have been world champions. They’ve been four-time state champions or four-time Iron Man, but they’ve never done four-time Super 32. That’s a big goal of mine, and it’ll be on my mind for the next 300, 600 days.”

Bo Bassett is undoubtedly an already renowned name for his victories at events like FloWrestling’s grand wrestling tournament, ‘Who’s #1’ and his past Super 32 triumphs. In ‘Who’s #1’, Daniel Zepeda suffered a defeat against Bassett. Facing tough competition, Bassett battled his way through to the finals, where he once again met his rival from ‘Who’s #1’ in the Super 32. While Zepeda sought to avenge his earlier loss, it wasn’t too tough for Bassett to scramble his way to the winning pedestal. 

Will Bassett’s new technical skills help him secure his historic Super 32 victory?

In the recent faceoff of Bassett and Zepeda, Bassett resorted to showcasing the finer technical aspects he has nurtured for the games. Bassett, who has been known for breaking down competitors with precision, found himself in a much different scenario in the recent bout. The match was filled with high-energy scrambles.

However, Bassett did not shy away from treating this as the opportunity to show off an often-overlooked aspect of his skillset. Reflecting on the match, he said, “I think I got to spotlight a little bit of how good I am at scrambling.” With his eyes set on becoming the first and possibly only wrestler to achieve such a feat, he’s motivated to push even harder as he approaches his senior year.

And now fans would just count the days and wait for Bassett’s historic manifestation to take the shape of reality. Will the Young Guns Wrestling Club standout emerge successful in fulfilling his goal? What are your thoughts on the same?
