Great to see Kanniard entered. Does he have a redshirt available?

No he Redshirted already(2020 season).

 

[west2east]

Brackets are up on Floarena

 

[MS-RU]

Chletsos wins his first two matchups and will face his former HS teammate Ryan Crookham in the quarterfinals.

 

[MS-RU]

Uh hopefully this is wrong but it says Gayer lost by fall to Ethan Baker from the Apprentice School which is D3. It wasn’t even a fluke/getting caught as he was losing 9-0 with like 4 mins of ride time in the 3rd before pinning him.

edit: NM thankfully they fixed it and it now shows Gayer winning.

 

[MS-RU]

Kanniard loses 6-4 in SV to a kid from Binghamton who was a NQ last year but was 0-3 this season prior to today.

Gayer won his quarterfinal matchup by TF (18-0) and will face the guy that just beat Kanniard in the semis.

 

[MS-RU]

Fongaro will face a NQ from Bloomsburg in his semifinal matchup.

 

[MS-RU]

Weaver and Cetta are both in the semifinals at 157. Hopefully an all RU matchup in the final.

Good indicator match for Gayer.

 

[MS-RU]

Britton, Toranzo , and O’Donnell are all in their respective semifinal as well.

[GantryZ]

Weaver went 4-0 en route to his individual title at 157 pounds, which included a 28-second fall over Josh Bonomo (Bloomsburg) to reach the finals of his bracket

Holy cow, there are still Bonomos wrestling at Bloomsburg!

 

[RU at the shore]

I might be biased but I still think Big John O’Donnell has a chance to do something here at heavyweight

 

[wngarbarini]

You are not biased. John will wrestle for us during his time at RU and will be a good heavyweight as he works with Lawson and Boone which will help him

Where does that leave Casale?

 

[wngarbarini]

That leaves PJ having to beat him Pess. It will be fun watching that. John is getting a lot better

 

[Leonard23]

Great to hear he's doing well. Is he beating PJ in the room now?

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

That's good to hear. PJ is new at being a big boy; I hope he is putting on quality weight like Boone did.
