Analysis: Caleb Fish is one of the biggest upset stories of the tournament thus far.  His win over Ramirez in the first round was wild and then he won a few crazy scrambles to beat Heller in round 2.  He will face returning NCAA Finalist Quincy Monday tomorrow morning.  Amine avenged a loss to Patrick Kennedy and he will now face Hamiti in the quarters who he beat in the dual earlier this year.
