OK State vs. West Virginia Sunday 1/19
- Thread starter oberebo
- Start date
Surber wrestled poorly but manhandled a takedown to tie the match in the 3rd period and then hung on to get riding time and the win. Hendrickson gets the takedown and then cross faces his opponent to his back for a quick pin. Jamison, Fish, Hamiti, Plott and Hendrickson wrestled really good and everyone else not so good. Hendrickson's pin meant we scored 30 team points again.
Surber lost a point on top for both feet leaving mat when breaking down his opponent earlier. At the end of the match with Surber riding there was a question I think if Surber clasped and maybe that it took Surber too long to get his opponent back to the mat after standing up.

Hell Week is always mid January. This fits the bill, as was our dual on Friday.
why didn't the WVU wrestler in one of the earlier bouts not get penalized for the same infraction. Why wasn't there a count on Hall when he held Amine's leg during his ride on several occasions but Surber gets a swipe when he grabs a leg. This ref sucked today just as he did in an earlier match that he called.
We were slow and lethargic in many of our matches. We showed very little mat IQ that cost us points. Sheets releases his man with a lead and just stood there allowing the guy to get the winning points. If Fish had rode out the last 10 seconds instead of releasing, he gets a TF with his riding time.
Not a fun match for us but give WVU credit for not backing down and scrambling hard to fight off takedowns.
They were very good at the heavy handed face and head slap early.
WVU came to wrestle tonight. Their guys gave it all they had.
Spratley needs to put these two losses behind him and look forward. Not dwell on them. He is going to be fine.
I am most impressed with Jamison. This kid has gotten so much better since last year and showed it tonight against Titus. I think they had a two point match last year. He continues to wrestle every match, like tonight, and got the major.

Not our best match today, but fun being there and seeing us win the dual and end it with a quick pin.
We didn't look great as a whole but I think that's due to Spratley getting pinned bring it down. Hope he isn't hurt bc he has not looked good last 2 matches. I think Hughes shoulder is far from 100%. Are they still going through a "hell week"?
Not OSU’s best match but I was impressed with the kids. The last thing I would want to do after wrestling a full match is sign a bunch of autographs. The only time I would want to do it less is after a loss. But every kid that wrestled, and some that didn’t, was signing autographs. Regardless of if they won, lost, or didn’t wrestle, they were friendly and smiling for the kids that waited in line to meet them. Makes it even more fun to follow and pull for them.
They did look a little gassed with few exceptions. Definitely think the practices must have been rough. Carter Young did seem to have a little bit of a limp when I saw him. I’m assuming it was his knee that was hurt at end of the no state match when his leg kind of got pulled?
