Manville won his first round Greco match 8-0, mostly off of failed throw attempts by his opponent followed by a gut two turns and a push out
Bill Farrell: Freestyle season starts again
- Thread starter nerfstate
- Start date
I tried to mention this, maybe was another thread. She had past results for Mexico, but looks like she’s fully NLWC and pursuing USA? Then there was another Canadian Greco guy at 67kg. Lots of cool info we didn’t have previously.
Another question. Who is Mason's Greco partner in the room? Does the NLWC even have other Greco wrestlers?
Is he at the OTC at the moment?

Was Manville at fault in all of those? it seems like it was soft. Granted, Mason could have altered his gameplan. He effectively gifted the dude a win. Blue basically did nothing except for one step out.
Safer than a 300 pound mountain of muscle swinging a 5 pound weapon at your head?
Manville, by virtue of being a 2017 World Team member, has already earned his way to the Olympic Team Trials.
True, though recently he has spent more time at the NLWC.
FYI ... Next chance for the USA to qualify a weight class for the Olympics is March 13-15, 2020 in Ottawa (CAN) at the Pan-American Continental Qualification Tournament.

Before Finals start:
I watched entire match. Manville does lead with his head. It's an awkward stance. However, He doesn't bring it in front or anything. His neck rarely moves. He brings it with his body and pummel. I'm guessing it's ref's discretion on that call. Thing is, if I'm Berryesa and I don't like how a guy is pummeling in... lower my ****ing level. This is wrestling. Senior level. Greco... It's a damn fight.
Manville got chirpy with the opposing coaches afterwards and I'm fairly certain opp coaches left before shaking hands. There were words exchanged. Was really hoping they'd meet up for 3rd.
Did Manville ask Koll if he brought the legal team?
Cassar isn't mentioned. He was registered earlier. Is he going to the Army tournament instead? Or was the post an oversight of his participation?
We can use "Koll" as shorthand for the Cornell coaches, since that's where Berreyesa wrestles.
All jokes aside, Manville's head first style is the worst kept secret in USA wrestling. There's a reason he's known as The Halo Kid ...and it's even his twitter handle.
I was actually watching his matches today and said to myself ... No wonder the kid uses 90% of the tape on the team

they were available earlier this morning, but only as a list. i'm assuming there's some down time as they get put into bracket format.
Brackets are up! Cenzo draws a Mongolian in the first round, Nolf an Egyptian. I like Nevills’ draw. Bradley in Semis.

Could have Nolf/Marstellar and Cenzo/Mekhi Lewis in the quarters.
Hope it isn’t an injury—could just be not wanting Gable to get too many feels before the open maybe? I have no insight.
I think Nolf would likely destroy Marstellar (more so in folk than freestyle, but still) and it would be nice to see Cenzo draw Lewis. He'll probably struggle with him again, but it would certainly help his confidence to get that monkey off his back (not that Cenzo has ever had trouble dealing with a loss or other adversity).
Not knowing what you mean by "destroy", this has the makings of a competitive bout. With leg laces and gut wrenches anything's possible … though I think this will be close. Chance has been training very hard for this moment. Had the opportunity to speak with him several weeks ago, everything's going well for him. Rooting hard for Jason, better not overlook Chance.
I guess we'll see. Doesn't matter whether I overlook him or not, just that Jason doesn't. As you said, freestyle, anything can happen and Chance is a tough competitor who seems focused again. I'll still take Jason....
Mobbed here. Manville hobbling around with a cane, heavily favoring one side.
Massa & Nato with quick techs. Garrett not quite as sharp in his first bout, wins 5-0
Saunders not quite ready for senior level. Suriano looking very tough vs Klimara, up 5-0 after 1. Finishes tech 11-0. Heil also gets a tech 10-0.

Lizak looking big for 65, somehow; has top game in freestyle too, with a quick tech. Imar up. Close bout vs mongolia who has good d. after 1, imar up 1-0. Imar gets a body lock, secures the fall.
Mckenna up 4-0 after 1 & that’s how it ends.
