The Beast is this weekend (Sat/Sun) at the University of Delaware. Seeds, tourney info, and a link to brackets can be found HERE.

Suriano got the top seed at 126, and Karam got the #2 seed.

No other current PSU commits are attending. Some other seeds of interest:
138: 1 Shane Griffith (Bergen Catholic NJ), 2 Sammy Sasso (Nazareth)
145: 1 David Carr (Perry Massillon OH)
182: 1 Michael Beard (Malvern Prep)
285: 5 Tommy Killoran (Boyertown), 6 Seth Janney (Malvern Prep)

Beard is going to be a beast. Didn't he give Reenan some tough matches over the past year though only a sophomore?

It is interesting to see how these things evolve.

Past BOTE Tourneys:
2014: Suriano took 1st at 120, Karam took 1st at 126, and was the OW
2013: Suriano took 1st at 113; he defeated Karam 11-1 in the finals
2012: Suriano took 1st at 106, Karam did not compete at BOTE

As indicated in one of the articles I linked in an earlier post today, these 2 met last month at Super32. They each had excellent tourneys. Karam defeated Daton Fix in the semis, 9-3, and Suriano defeated Vitali Arajau in the semis, 4-1, then Suriano bested Karam in the finals, 5-1.
 
Off topic but Chestnut Ridge freshman Jared McGill decisioned returning Bedford state champ Jon Gabriel in last night's dual meet.
 
So checking the bracket of BOTE, and here's what I noted from Day 1 competition:

- Suriano is into the quarters, and is rolling. R1 he had a pin in 3:34, R2 he had a TF in 3:26, and R3 he had a pin in 2:45. He'll face Andrew Wert (Central Dauphin) in the quarters
- Karam is doing very well in the bottom bracket at 126. In R1 he had a TF at 5:44, in R2 a pin at 1:33, and in R3 a TF at 4:54. He'll face Nicholas Lattanze (Malvern Prep) in the quarters
- at 138, Sammy Sasso (Nazareth) and Shane Griffith (Bergen Cath), the #2 and #1 seeds, respectively, appear to be on a collision course
- you have to go all the way to 195 to find a weight were the 1, 2, 3, and 4 seeds did not advance to the quarters. Kevin Snyder (Good Counsel) lost due to injury in R3, and then medical forfeited in his only consolation bracket match
- at 220, the #3 seed (Scott Lavelle, DePaul) lost in R1
- at 285, the #1 seed (Dan Herman, THS -- I think that's The Hill School; not certain) lost in R1, when he was pinned in the 1st period.
- Mike Beard (Malvern Prep) is tearing through 182. He had a TF in R1 at 3:31, a pin at 1:05 in R2, and a pin at 1:18 in R3. He seems to be on a collision course with Kyle Gentile (Pennridge -- another Lehigh verbal)

those are just some of the things that stood out to me after scanning the brackets
 
Suriano's teammate, 138 top seed Shane Griffth withdrew with a knee injury.

Assuming he wins his semi, Sammy Sasso will get #12 seed Nick Santos (St. Peter's Prep, NJ) in the finals.

Wouldn't bet on it given the commitment from Joe Lee already and Seth Nevills likely to be a big target in that class, but who knows

I disagree COMPLETELY. IMHO, Cael should be recruiting the wrestlers HE thinks will be best for the PSU team, and definitely NOT those that spyker thinks he should be recruiting. JMHO. :rolleyes:

What in this thread has you thinking Karam got beat? Karam and Siriano are in the finals. You need to read more and ask fewer questions, because 2 of them in this thread were not very good ones.

to be fair, he was replying to an erroneous post that was subsequently edited.

That said, he is a little excitable. Google should be his friend.

Looks like they started at 132. Saving the best for last. By the way, Sasso won 5-1.
