Senior Nationals

[Sportfan2017]

Former Penn Stater Brody Teske Defeated Brandon Courtney 4-1. After the 1st 2 minutes.....Brody dominated. He looked good and still has the gas tank at 57kg. In case you have forgotten.......in the PSU vs ASU dual.......Brandon dominated Brody 17-7. Good to see. Up next is Jacob Comacho

Luke Pletcher lost his first match 15-4. He was dominated by Robbie Mathers as the Beaver. It wasn't one big move. It made it over half way through the second period ( 4:50 ). Mathers dominated. 4 takedowns, 3 turns and a pushout. Leave it to.....go ahead....say it

Dan Vallimont wins his 2nd match 9-4 over D. McKee.... Durso is up soon.... Up next is Dan Braunagel.

Durso wins 10-0 in 31 seconds over J. Nigro..... Up next is Hayden Hidlay. ... That should be fun

Snyder by fall against J. Casto..... was leading 6-0 and got the cradle at 1:14. Snyder gets William Baldwin next

A.J. Nevills wins either 7-2 or last second pin.....not certain yet. Win by fall at 6:00 He gets Tanner Hall next

Teske loses 10-0 It was 0-0 at 1-30 and ended at 1:44

Rob Mathers techs Dean Heil 10-0. I checked. His last match before today he lost to Jaydin Eierman 16-15. Definitely not a slouch. But he is Unattached

Durso drops a 9-5 decision to Hidlay. Completive match......Durso had the lead twice......Hidlay got a 2+2 at about 50 sec.

Vallimont loses 12-8. He led 8-4 at the break but faded in the 2nd.

Smyder wins 12-0 at the 1:27 mark

A.J Nevills drops a 13-1 decision to Tanner Hall

Andrew Alirez took out Joey McKenna 8-4. McKenna had 4 pushouts. Alirez looks great at 143.5. I know he wrestled matches at 157 last year. Looks slick

Robbie Mathers as the Beaver was leading 3-2 in the second.....took a shot.....hurt his knee and went Tony Down to Evan Henderson. Robbie Mathers as the Beaver drops into the Reruns

Watch the Hidlay Valencia match. It lasted about 30 minutes. Post your thoughts

Snyder with the 10-0 Tech in 2:33

Teske with the 15-4 victory over Longmire Brody got tossed for 4 but dominated the rest. Longmire can't weigh more than 110-115.

Vallimont gets eliminated by Perez....8-0

Rick "The Real Deal" Durso over Keating 15-4

I forgot to mention that in the 1st round Nino Bonacorsi......who wrestled at 184 last year for Pitt beat Gavin Hoffman 11-4. Gavin looked like he had to cut to get to 213. Nino can wrestle

Snyder lost via Injury Default. Ankle. Looked Hauntingly like Suriano. Hoping all is good.

Brody Teske Defeats Reno 23-14.....Yes...that is corect

Rick "Real Deal" Durso moves on....12-2 over Torres. He gets Deakin next

Teske dropped a 10-0 tech to 4th seed Perelli. Brody got in deep twice. Gave up 4 the first time and 6 on the second. Did similar mistakes in his last match but scored 23. Not bad for the young man

Robbie The Beaver Mathers got turned by Kanen Storr 8 or 9 times but they stopped counting at 5....loses 11-1.. Edit: I rewatched.....with the score at 1-1 in the second period......Mathers only got turned 7 times

Rick The Real Deal Durso got teched by Ryan "Hollow Bones" Deakin 10-0. What a size difference

 

[nerfstate]

Pletcher goes down by tech fall to Mathers.

 

[82bordeaux]

Pletcher goes down by tech fall to Mathers.

In less than 2 minutes!

 

[nerfstate]

Lizak looks like he’s cutting to make 65kg

 

[RoarLions1]

Hayden and Trent Hidlay, brothers from Mifflin County, both win by tech.

Dan Vallimont wins 9-4.

Brett Pfarr, Aaron Brooks' opponent in a week and a half, lost 5-5 (criteria), after leading 5-0.

 

[RoarLions1]

Kyle Snyder wins by fall at 1:46 of the first, by cradle.

 

[Sportfan2017]

In less than 2 minutes!

I think you missed the first period ( which was reasonably competitive ) Mathers finished him at 1:50 of the 2nd period. Pletcher did not look himself at all. When have you seen him taken down 4 times? That said.....the last time Mathers wrestled he lost to Jaydin Eierman 16-15. No slouch

I guess I did! Thanks for the correction. I was mostly watching the Storr match.

 

[RoarLions1]

Shelton Mack, opponent of RBY in a week and a half, lost 12-4. To be honest, if Mr. Mack wrestles as he did in that bout, the one vs RBY will be short.

 

[RoarLions1]

Vallimont loses 12-8 in the 3rd round.

Haydin Hidlay wins vs Rick Durso, 9-5 I believe.

 

[El-Jefe]

Kyle Snyder wins by fall at 1:46 of the first, by cradle.

When is the last time Snyder used a cradle? I don't remember it ever happening.

Training with Cael, DT, Bo paying off.

 

[RoarLions1]

Snyder wins handily 12-0 at 1:33 in the first.

 

[El-Jefe]

I look forward to Dean being ranked #1 ahead of Brooks.

Stupid question of the day. This is the qualifier for the world team, right? (assuming that event is held). Don't get me wrong, I am loving the action but why aren't the top guys wrestling? Say Massa goes and gets a world medal, he would get a bye at the Olympic trials or not? I just picked that weight because Burroughs and Dake would also be there.

Not a qualifier to anything. And if worlds are held, medalists would not get any bye's or special placement. Might affect seeding a based on head to head results.

Not stupid question at all, would love to have someone splain how all this World team, Oly team shit is gonna play out.

So the 21 OTT‘s are gonna be identical to 20?. Who besides JB is sitting till finals?

 

[Dogwelder]

... Luke Pletcher lost kis first match 15-4. He was dominated by Robbie Mathers as the Beaver ...

Mathers looked real slim and eminemly beatable ...

 

[jrod65]

Mathers looked real slim and eminemly beatable ...

I knew Mathers would win. I mean success was his only ____ _____ option, failures not. It seemed real shady....🤓

 

[psumacw]

the fact that they didn't turn this into trials for the 2020 world team makes me think the USA won't be attending 2020 worlds (if they even happen)

 

[psumacw]

i don't believe the US has set a date/procedure for 2020 world team trials. for 2021 olympic trials, it's exactly the same as it was for 2020, with burroughs/snyder having byes to Final X as medalists at olympic weights and dake/cox having byes to the semis of the challenge tournament as medalists at non-olympic weights.

 

[matter7172]

Mathers looked real slim and eminemly beatable ...

We found out who the real Slim Shady is.

 

[matter7172]

Dylan Ragusin (125/133 - headed to Michigan) has looked really good so far at 57kg.

 

[AndEEss]

I look forward to Dean being ranked #1 ahead of Brooks.

View embedded media

Wasn’t Brooks ranked 5th in their 20-21 preseason rankings?

That blows my mind. He’s the B1G champ as a true freshman, arguably undersized last year, and working out in the best middle/upper weight room in the country. If he doesn’t RS, I expect him in the NCAA finals.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Alirez just beat Mckenna. Perhaps he's getting back to his FS form that he was heralded for.

 

[El-Jefe]

We found out who the real Slim Shady is.

Obligatory:

 

[NoVaLion2]

Snyder MFF's to Gadsen... I didn't see what happened, but it looks like he turned his ankle badly going out of bounds.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Damn that sucks. Hopefully no ligament damage.

 

[Str8DBLz]

Ankle.. And it was on his own shot while he was losing 2-0

[west2east]

Ankle or Foot to me looked more like a foot issue.When he continued he wasn't limping then all the sudden he was again like it was a bone in the foot

 

[nerfstate]

I thought that these consolation semifinals were going to be fantastic matches, but there’s been some surprisingly lopsided results.

Hidlay, McKenna, and Yaya especially.

 

[Nittfan95]

I will now harness my inner Hawkeye. Eierman is regressing. Iowa is making him worse. He should have stayed at Missouri. HWC is struggling. Teched by McKenna. You know, just like they do on their board when Snyder gets injured.

I said Snyder must have mono.

BRANDS IS MAKING HIM HATE THE SPORT !!!!

 

[nerfstate]

Hemida almost beats Bradley. Dom did not appear to be in his best shape, but still, I see you, DGK.

 

[nerfstate]

So Allirez rightfully was OW. Beat Josh Heil, McKee, McKenna, Thomas and Henderson as a rising sophomore! Gonna be a force in Freestyle, curious if he can get similar Folstyle results, kinda like Echemendia.

He had a pretty good season last year didn't he?

Where was penn state's Greco guy Manville?

 

[nerfstate]

He had a pretty good season last year didn't he?

Didn’t see a ton of top competition. Best win was vs. App State’s Millner. Losses to Degan (x2), Abas, and Lewallen. Not bad, but not the level we saw this weekend. He was my LMS pick, but clearly Freestyle is where excels, so far.

 

[tikk10]

Watching some of the finals now, without having looked at social media, so they're like new.

Gabe Dean beat Nate Jackson 1-1 on criteria without taking a single shot, both points coming by shot clock violations. Nate Jackson took at least six shots, half of those in the second when he was tagged for the violation. Dean did nothing except hold the center. Refs who even up the shot clock violations no matter the action need to be outed.

The last few times I saw Evan Henderson he looked pretty good, but he couldn't get near Andrew Alirez, who had a coming out party this weekend.

Arujau, who reminds me more of Nico every time I see him, looked solid blowing through Dylan Ragusin.

Kollin Moore looks improved, beating Kyven Gadson in one of the better finals.

Logan Massa ended Anthony Valencia's ride; both guys looked good this tournament.

Mason Parris wrecked Tanner Hall in under two minutes.

I didn't see him wrestle but he did well enough to receive the #14 seed for NCAAs this year as a true frosh. Not bad for a true frosh and it looks like he already improved quite a bit. Him against Sasso might make for an entertaining Sasso match.
