Wrestling Dual Thread: Penn State vs. Indiana

Almost too close for comfort. But, as they (the "thems") say, close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes.

157: Negron vs Gilcher

lots of action early. Looked like Gilcher was about to get behind Negron but Tony stopped it. Back to their feet. Working in space. Some collar ties, but then back to space. A couple of half shots from each, Negron shooting off of Gilcher’s half shot. No score thru 2 mins. Then a break in the action on an eye poke (Gilcher poked). No score after one. Negron tried for an ankle as time ran out.

Gilcher takes bottom. Gets to his feet and Negron has to cut him when he can’t get the mat return. 1-0 bad guys. Collar ties. Hand fighting. Negron tries for an ankle, misses and Gilcher gets behind him and gets the TD. 3-0 bad guys. Negron to his feet but Gilcher gets Tony’s leg and returns him. Negron back to his feet, Gilcher again grabs Tony’s leg and they go OOB. Restart. Negron to his feet twice more but returned both times. 3-0 bad guys with 51 secs RT after two.

Negron chooses bottom. To his feet but returned again. Now being ridden. To his feet again and finally escapes with 1:20 to go. 3-1 bad guys. Negron in on deep single… Gilcher kicks free. Negron shoots again and Gilcher has one foot in bounds and uses a good 10 secs of clock. 30 secs to go on restart. Riding is clinched. Negron shoots but is stuffed. Bad guys takes it 4-1 with RT.

11-6 Indiana at the break.

This meet was always likely to be a train through meet. I’d be willing to bet Carl had them busting their asses yesterday

165 Edsell vs Cokeley

edsell deep double leg 30 secs in and finishes after a bit of a scramble. Coke immediately to his feet and Edsell has to cut him as they head OOB. Restart. 2-1 good guys. 2nd stalemate. 1:25 to go. Edsell deep single and gets the finish after another bit of a delay. Edsell changes levels and shoots from space / distance extremely well. Maybe can finish those deep shots a little quicker. 4-1. Edsell double boots and it ends 4-1 with 1:01 RT.

Edsell chooses bottom. Up to his feet twice and out in 9 secs. Coke gets a headlock and a TD. That’s questionable IMO. Stalemate. Now checking video. Hard to believe that was a TD. No challenge; officials checking it on their own. Edsell was on his belly; coke only had his head. TD stands. Edsell up and immediately out on restart. 6-3 Edsell. Period ends 6-3 good guys. 23 secs RT for Edsell.

coke takes bottom. Edsell trying to throw boots. Now out to side with arm bar. Keeps bar, changes sides and gets 4 NF in tilt. Gets his 4 then works back to get another move. Throws in a leg. Stalemate with 23 secs to go. It’s 10-3 and RT is clinched. Coke to his feet and hard mat return. Edsell close to more back points. 11-3 final with RP.

11-10 Indiana is the dual score.
