MAC semis on now via ESPN+

 

[El-Jefe]

George Mason FR Nate Higley just pinned his way into the MAC finals.

For reference: 2 years ago he went 27-2 for Sullivan County. His 2 losses were in the finals of Super Regionals and states, both by 2nd period fall against some Levi Haines dude.

 

[El-Jefe]

Somehow this did not get Lock Haven HWT Isaac Reid a DQ.

Lock Haven coach and former PSU wrestler Scott Moore was wrestling Bald Eagle Area's Cory Guenot in the NW AAA regional semi-finals. Things were not going well for Coach Moore and while in a tight tie up Coach Moore may have tried to land a few upper cuts.

[GogglesPaizano]

I think O'Toole might just take out Carr despite his dominant performance 2 weeks ago. Just to make things even more interesting for nationals. 165 is just plain insane this year.

 

[El-Jefe]

For the right to get crushed by (lol) 2 seed Yianni.

Is he a 125 😁😁

 

[slushhead]

ACC Semis:

125 — #1 Trombley (NC ST) over #4 Camacho (PITT) 10-5.
125 — #2 Ventresca (VT) over #3 Wagner (UNC) 3-2.

133 — #1 Phillippi (PITT) over #5 Yarbrough (UVA) 6-2.
133 — #3 Orine (NC ST) over #2 Latona (VT) 4-3 (last-minute TD secured w/ a cradle at the edge, no backs).

141 — #1 Matthews (PITT) over #4 Crook (VT) 6-3.
141 — #2 Jack (NC ST) over #3 McNeil (UNC) 4-3.

149 — #1 Henson (VT) over #5 Sherman (UNC) 2-0.
149 — #2 Arrington (NC ST) over #3 Verkleeren (UVA) 4-3.

157 — #1 O’Connor (UNC) over #5 Keating (UVA) by 1st Pd Fall.
157 — #2 Andonian (VT) over #3 Scott (NC ST) 15-9.
• Rock Harrison’s answer when Kenney asked him for an over/under on points to be scored in the match: “272”.
• Scott secured the first TD, but Andonian escaped and then secured a 6-pt throw. I think it was TDs and Es the rest of the way.
• Andonian has traded his locks for a more traditional wrestler’s/military haircut. Maybe he’ll be sharper being able to see what he’s doing.

165 — #4 Brady (VT) over #1 Heller (PITT) 7-5.
165 — #2 McCoy (UVA) over #3 Singleton (NC ST) 5-2.

174 — #1 Lewis (VT) over #5 Marcelli (UVA) 15-3.
174 — #2 Faison (NC ST) #3 Augustine (PITT) 3-2.

184 — #1 Hidlay (NC ST) over #5 Heller (PITT) 23-5.
184 — #3 Kane (UNC) over #2 Bolen (VT) 4-3 (winning TD in last 10 secs).

197 — #1 Bonaccorsi (PITT) over #4 Battista (UVA) 12-3.
197 — #3 Trumble (NC ST) over #2 Smith (VT) 5-1.

285 — #1 Niesenbaum (DUKE) over #4 Slinger (PITT) 3-2.
285 — #2 Trephan (NC ST) over #3 Catka (VT) 2-2 TB. Won via 0:01 RT advantage!

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Vote for most impressive non-PSU wrestler so far?

Mine is Dean Hamity, man did he look impressive handing Karchla his ass yesterday.

 

[johnstownsteel]

ACC Semis:

133 — #3-seed Orine (NC ST) dec #2-seed Latona on a last-minute TD secured w/ a cradle at the edge.

Last season Orine was my this years "Aaron Nagao". Taking more losses than I thought he would this year but he's scrappy and proved it here.

I know it is only the EIWA, but Cornella has three pins in 8:36 in his three matches.

 

[zzs006]

Julian Ramirez beats Quincy Monday 6-5 in the EIWA finals

 

[NittanyChris]

I thought Nino Bonaccorsi played LB for JoePa?

 

[fortheglory94]

Anybody see the ACC HWT match? I'm not sure how what the NC State kid did isn't illegal. Rock said some people might consider that illegal. I would be in that group of people it seems.

 

[El-Jefe]

Safety.

Looked like a body slam

 

[johnstownsteel]

Wow. Orine just stuck Phillippi in ot in ACC finals. It was sweet!!

 

[jmadden1998]

Kai Orine just stuck Phillipi with 16 seconds left in SV with the old cement mixer.

 

[El-Jefe]

Kai Orine stuck Micky Phillippi with a cement mixer on the edge in SV. Hell of a move.

Rock Harrison blew out a lung, needs the commercial break.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Not sure why I'm good at picking somewhat under the radar 133s. Lol

 

[jmadden1998]

Can you pick one and send him to Iowa?

 

[nitlion6]

Get the radar tuned into HS to college 125 pounders and go see Cael.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Can you pick one and send him to Iowa?

Don't need one. Best lightweight room in the country...

 

[PAgeologist]

Can you pick one and send him to Iowa?

Thought that's what Larry was for.

 

[jmadden1998]

Thought that's what Larry was for.

His son is graduating. Need someone new.

 

[nitlion6]

Thought that's what Larry was for.

Now that Spencer is at the end of his Hawk competitive road, is Larry going to continue recruiting the pre-portal for the Hawks?

 

[johnstownsteel]

His son is graduating. Need someone new.

Think he's gonna take the binder back when he leaves?

 

[nitlion6]

Think he's gonna take the binder back when he leaves?

Is he now taking the Juniata College job? Damn, that's 6 years too late.

 

[PAgeologist]

Think he's gonna take the binder back when he leaves?

He's going to put it through the paper shredder, then task Terry to tape it back together.

 

[jmadden1998]

Think he's gonna take the binder back when he leaves?

The binder isn’t working. He can take it.

 

[El-Jefe]

Matthews 2-1 over Jack on RT and a lot of blocking from feet. That should lock up a top 3 seed.

 

[nitlion6]

The binder isn’t working. He can take it.

Got you your only national championship in the past dozen or so years.
