I will say it. Beau is our lewan at times.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

These matches by Beau kill me.

 

[PSUcup1]

I will say it. Beau is our lewan at times.

It’s worse to me because BB is so much more talented

 

[mcpat]

I love you Beau but you’re too good to wrestle like this. You’re way too good to wrestle one-score matches all the time. You can dominate most these guys and wrestle close with only the very best. You’re that good, dude.

 

[donboy6499]

Bingo.

 

[zzs006]

I hate saying this but I think Beau is going to drop a match he shouldn’t this tournament because he’s being so ****ing passive. I haven’t seen him take a single attack this entire match

 

[McScoreley]

Accepting all apologies on behalf of Beau right now

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

WHY DOESN'T HE DO THAT TO START WITH!!!! GO BEAU!

 

[5q]

Omg

 

[zzs006]

And then Boom! Fall

He could do that shit in the first period!! So frustrating

 

[dbldoofus]

Beau Lewan

Heresy! Standing Cradle Beau!

 

[PSUcup1]

BB…. Atta guy. See what happens when you let it fly

 

[Hotshoe]

Boo Yeah! Beau with the pin!

 

[NittanyChris]

Wow! Geau Beau!!!

WE ARE!!!

#2 B.Bartlett FALL #15 M.Moore (5:49)

Wow! When Beau turns it on he is dynamic! 1st pin of the tourney! Great job Beau!

 

[Ja1339]

Beau heard all the naysayers, atta boy Beau!

 

[mcpat]

From 1-1 and boredom to the fall. Lol. Good job Beau. Feel free to do that in the 1st period next time.

That didn't age well at all....

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Excellent. Now why not do that in the first?

 

[johnstownsteel]

Well lookie here Beau... It is possible to score when you shoot.

I thought that was a myth..

 

[Used2BEerie]

I don’t know why you guys are so hard on Beau, he was just setting up the pin.

 

[dsites52]

Bartlett's not gonna win the natty wrestling like this.

Or.....

 

[El-Jefe]

The "Beau wrestles like Lewan" posts in both sessions aged like fine milk.

 

[RB-Old]

Beau Bartlett is a BONUS MACHINE!

 

[Dogwelder]

Reports that he had stomach bug/diarrhea this morning

So he was using 90% power to avoid volcanic eruption, and only 10% to wrestle. It all makes sense. It’s hard to win on 10% power. 😉 And he prevented a major evacuation and delay!

 

[RB-Old]

But you know he does

 

[zzs006]

Watters is a beast. Kid is a problem and he’s only a freshman isn’t he?

 

[Hotshoe]

Someday, folks are going to understand Beau. He's not long like other wrestlers. That's a massive advantage to others and allows them to tie up for entire periods. Beau is patient because he has to be. Give the kid some credit. He actually knows what he's doing.

 

[wrestlinPSU]

Watters is a beast. Kid is a problem and he’s only a freshman isn’t he?

Yes…and he is a beast

 

[Pennstate1985]

Beau certainly makes the most of his opportunities. Not fun to watch but he knows how to wrestle.

 

[zzs006]

Crazy that one of Happel or Jamison will go 0-2

 

[LDandy]

Hopefully that jumpstarts something in Beau and we get a more aggressive version moving forward. Dude is too good to let lesser wrestlers hang around and potentially steal one late.

 

[Hotshoe]

Levi will be on Mat 5.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

We are following a common pattern during the Cael years - following a blah session with a lights out session. Keep it up boys

Thank you, and no one wants to shoot at him because his counter offense is super strong...

Well it would have to be next round against VomBaur or on the back side at this point

 

[Psubiomed]

Who had Beau getting our first pin?

 

[El-Jefe]

Watters is a beast. Kid is a problem and he’s only a freshman isn’t he?

Yes. And I think he flew under the radar a little because he missed his HS SO postseason. But he had a nice run his JR postseason and then a really good SR year.

Last week Asher Cunningham won his state final 2-0. Last year Watters beat the same guy 11-3.

That plus Tim Flynn is a great coach.

 

[johnstownsteel]

I'm pulling for johnstown area kid Arrington to win it all since Kasak won't.

 

[El-Jefe]

But you know he does

Can't get cheddar without some curdling.
