OK State vs. Iowa State

[oberebo]

125 Pic #4 MD over Alex Mackall #9 4-0
133 Witcraft loses dec. to Todd Small #16 4-3
141 Hone loses dec. to Ian Parker #8 4-6
149 Boo #3 TF over Ryan Leasure 9-6
157 Sheets loses dec. to David Carr #3 9-9
165 Wittlake #9 wins dec. over Chase Straw 12-9
174 Shomers loses dec. to #11 Sammy Colbray 12-12
184 Montalvo #22 dec. #17 Marcus Coleman 15-12
197 Geer #9 MD over Joel Shapiro 19-12
285 Harris loses dec. to #12 Gremmel 19-15
I believe Witcraft could defeat Todd Small and Hone could defeat Ian Parker but on paper the two teams split 5-5 and bonus points will be the difference and we should have more.

At the beginning of the season I would have been shocked if we were within three points of Iowa State and that was figuring in Joe Smith and G. Whitlake, Montalvo, Hone, and Witcraft have exceeded my expectations.

 

[mjacmoses]

They are doing very well.

Pic with a 10-2 major decision over Mackall. 4-0

Way to go Witcraft!

 

[OSUMatFan]

Nice gutty performance by Witcraft to win 9-8 with a 4 point move for the comeback.

 

[Travis25]

Great to see Witcraft finish one against a strong opponent. He was definitely running out of gas at the end but still found a way to win.

 

[Harleycowboy]

Pic with a 10-2 major decision over Mackall. 4-0

Witcraft came back from another poor 2nd period to win 9 to 8. Witcraft battled and won with a 4 point takedown to the back.

 

[Travis25]

Not a great weekend for Dusty. He lost to a weaker opponent last night and was never really in it against Parker.

I think that we are seeing Hone's limitations now. He gives everything , is tough but isn't especially talented.

Score???

Score???

Both teams deducted a team point, so 10-6

Thanks! Right after I said that, the announcer said each team was deducted for not controlling the mat. No warning on that?

Wittlake won by decision, solid. Joe wins 5 to 2 against the 11th rated 174. Looked 100 times better than last night.

 

[lincolnhs]

Joe just needs to stack up wins....this was a much better match up for him. The kid from UNI had too much pace for Joe he hasn't wrestled as much so far this season.

Anyone think John lit his ass up after the match last night ?

Joe actually won one!

Montalvo with a solid decision at 184 with a strong ride 6 to 2 and Geer won by major.

Putnam lost by decision so the final score is 23 to 9 Cowboys. We wrestled much better today than last night.

Joe looked much better against a quality opponent. How long has Colbray been wrestling 174? I thought that he had wrestled 197 at the big 12 previously.

Just this season.

Wrestled 197 2 years ago, and 184 last year.

Yesterday'sl losers become the heroes of this matchup starting with Witcraft. Reese lives by the sword (throws) and dies by the sword. A couple of his upper body attempts cost him takedowns but he came back at the end-good for him! Joe was the much better wrestler but even with all of his finesse had trouble converting about 8 ankle picks to takedowns. He really wore Colbray down at the end. Very happy for Montalvo who looked rugged, dogged and pumped to defeat a wrestler ranked ahead of him. With Pic and Dakota picking up majors and another solid performance from Wittlake we went a ways in erasing the nightmare of yesterday.

LETS GO POKES!!!

Have heard that Brock is coming back soon at 141, maybe he will beat out Hone.

Another message board said G is done for the year.

 

[BackHomePoke]

I thought I red that he was applying for a medical redshirt.

Strange year for G. It seems like there are about 10 different stories floating around to explain his absence. After he pinned Lee at the Scuffle his freshman year, I had hopes that he could be a national champion at some point. We really need him to come around next year. Hopefully he can get things figured out this offseason.

Yesterday was as good as Saturday was bad. What a weird weekend.

Message board said roger moore Said it (G being out for year) during Sunday’s broadcast

Brock had a setback in his rehab. It's unlikely he returns this season.

I definitely agree with that tweet response that Shomers deserves a wrestle off with Joe Smith.

I’m sure he will get one soon.

Is that Shomers' dad?

 

[lincolnhs]

Is that Shomers' dad?

I'm assuming it is...maybe uncle, but he mentions one guy works hard, while the other has bad habits. Nothing earth shattering, but like many people have said on here, parents talk.

 

[J. Carl]

John Smith told us before the Pitts burgh telecast that neither Brock nor Gfeller will return this year. Hone will be the 141 for remainder of season

Some more comments from coach.

 

[Air_Thurman]

Damn ... this G thing is crazy. Never really saw this coming. If they can end up getting him an extra year it is probably a good thing but I would imagine that will be tough.

He at one point did injure his ankle so I’m sure they will lean on that. It does seem like these things are being granted easier these days.

If they can get it (and G can get his stuff together) him not wrestling this year could actually be a good thing.

 

[OSUMatFan]

My gut feeling he has a serious injury or he would be wrestling this year. Could be that he might be not as focused as he cannot wrestle, but G has shown the ability to focus when it is time. Hope we have a strong guy that can get down to 125. I have no idea how much Witcraft pulls to make it to 133, but if it is much 125 is not possible. It would be best if we could utilize Redshirts where wrestlers are fairly equal next year.
