[Racpack]

Unless injured Glory will wrestle. Princeton will be a tough out. In 2 years they should be a top 5 team with Glory, Kolozdick, and Brucki as returning All Americans. All have a legit shot of a top 3 finish. Quincy Monday has definite AA potential. They also have a number of kids and incoming recruits who will qualify. Once at the tourney you never know (remember Perrotti and Theobold).

Had a chance to talk with Ayres in RAC lot in between FinalX sessions... Very likeable guy that really reps not just Princeton... But NJ wrestling!!! This is going to be a great rivalry going forward!!!

As an outsider from Iowa, and one who likes to see the tides change, I'm thrilled with the idea of Princeton being that big.

I always root for them, as I do...

Watching Red Nose (Foca?) v. Gonzo here in central PA. Some pretty solid wrestlers between these two groups.

Foca's Dad was much more animated when coaching than Gonzalez was. I kind of expected Gonzalez to be a wild man, based on some past conversations on here.

Anyone watch Yianni D.'s semifinal match at Yasar Dogu? He was wrestling a Hungarian wrestler who had Yianni down 9-0 at the break. Yianni kept coming and attacking and basically broke the other guy's will he was so exhausted and pretty much quit. It was 9-8 with under a minute left and the Hungarian wrestler was cautioned out of the match.

Unbelievable comeback and highly recommended to watch if you can.

 

[R U Crazy]

Thank You for the heads up on the Yanni Semi-final.
He came so close to being teched.
Not sure if the Hungarian wrestler had the air knocked out of him on the roll where he gave up 2 points, but he didn't want to wrestle after that.

It was funny seeing the ref telling him to get up and wrestle and he literally just did not want to.

Where did you watch it? Was it on paid Flow only?

I watched it on paid Flo. I don't know if it is anywhere else.

Ayers daughter wrestling and Carli winning another World Cup gave me pause. I know that we Endow too many sports as is. However the iron is hot right now. I understand it’s likely a pipe dream. Is there any desire to start a women’s team? It might create a nice buzz and some positive momentum for the athletic dept. we’d be viewed as progressive at a time when its popular.

There's a lot of division 3 women's teams starting each year. It's probably still far off, but I can see starting one in 10 to 15 years.

 

[Clearscreen25]

At junior Nationals on Flo, Shawver won his first bout 12-0 in under 30 seconds.

O'Neil coming up on Mat 9. Poz Mat 13.

 

[Clearscreen25]

O'Neill wins his first match 10-0 in 28 seconds at 170. He is really hitting the weights.

Poz at 182 wins by fall in 43 seconds.

Also Hepner won his first match 11-0 in under a minute.

 

[Clearscreen25]

Shawver coming up on Mat 7
Shawver won. It was a little confusing. Looked like 16-6 early in the 2nd, but it was reported differently by Flo.

 

[Clearscreen25]

Hepner coming up Mat 23.
He wins 16-5 in 4:13.

 

[Clearscreen25]

O'Neil - Mat 6.

O'Neil wins 10-0 in 1:37

[FoxRU]

Just watched 2020 recruit Hepner. Very similar to John Van Brill. Will be fun to watch.

 

[R U Crazy]

So Junior men's start again at 4:30?
Excited ti watch a few matches.
A good way to end my vacation


Just watched Shawver (spelling) and he appeared a lot smaller than his opponent.
Perhaps a career 125?
He hit the fireman's a few times....need to get him to wrestle DeSanto :)

 

[R U Crazy]

Just watched 2020 recruit Hepner. Very similar to John Van Brill. Will be fun to watch.

I agree.....Hepner looks like he will be a terror on top!!!

 

[Clearscreen25]

Shawver coming up on Mat 9.

SHawver wins 14-4 in 4:54. Lots of fireman's carries and ankle picks/low leg attacks. My Flo kept dropping out so I didn't get a great view of the match. I will try to watch again later.

 

[Clearscreen25]

Hepner coming up Mat 9.

Hepner loses 12-2 to Matt Lee of Indiana who is #5 in the country at 152. You are right about the JVB comparison. He let the Indiana wrestler get to his legs multiple times.

Also, it appeared that the ref struck Hepner in the chest after the match. The Indiana coach came running over. I couldn't tell exactly what happened.

 

[Clearscreen25]

O'Neill on Mat 20
O'Neill wins 15-4 in 6:00.

Poz on Mat 8
Poz wins 10-0 in 1:33

 

[R U Crazy]

Thank you...both might go at same time..never know with FS :(

 

[R U Crazy]

Foca follows Poz

 

[R U Crazy]

Poz very impressive with a 10-0 TF
Oneil in batlle and currently in a challenge (6-4 at break)

 

[R U Crazy]

WOW....Late tech from O Neil, wins 15-5 (I think they missed a blue point).
It was 8-5 late and Oneil capitalize on his opponent having to try and score.

 

[R U Crazy]

Thank you Clearscreen, I would have missed the last 2 bouts (The only ones i watched live today)

 

[Clearscreen25]

Thank you Clearscreen, I would have missed the last 2 bouts (The only ones i watched live today)

My pleasure. Did you see the Hepner bout? Looked like he said something to the ref and the ref pushed/struck him in the chest. There will be more about this I'm sure.

 

[bigmatt718]

My pleasure. Did you see the Hepner bout? Looked like he said something to the ref and the ref pushed/struck him in the chest. There will be more about this I'm sure.

Yeah what was up with that?

 

[Clearscreen25]

Yeah what was up with that?

That ref is going to have some MAJOR explaining to do.

If I was running the tourney, he would be immediately suspended from further matches.

 

[R U Crazy]

Yeah,just watched it. I thought Hefner let the ref get into his head with 1 or 2 questionable calls. I would not want to ref a Hefner FS match (He is all funk)
The ref should be out of the tournament. Imagine if this was in NJ?
