Southern Scuffle

[Big Bird]

Weber gives up 4NF early in the third with the clock not running and loses 8-2.

Franek loses to Zovistoki...who Weber beat. Weber will also place higher than Franek. Both of those things makes 157 interesting.

[Big Bird]

Stibral loses and joins Franek and JVM in wrestling for 7th.

Metz beats Dionte Wilson of NCSt for the second time this year.

Cam and Metz are the only wins this round for NDSU.

[Big Bird]

Weber lost his rematch with Zovistoski and will wrestle for 5th.

Metz just hit a beautiful lat drop for a fall and will wrestle for third.

Sykora going for 1st
Van Maanen going for 7th
Franek going for 7th
Weber going for 5th
Stibral going for 7th
Metz going for 3rd

[Big Bird]

JVM loses 7-5 and takes 8th. Still, pretty good weekend for him. Hopefully this sets him up for a strong finish to the year

[Big Bird]

Franek with a big feet to back shot to take a 4-1 lead after two. Weber leading his match 2-0 in the second

[Big Bird]

Franek wins 7-2 and gets 7th.

Luke Weber wins 5th place with a 3-0 win.

NDSU with two placers at 157 and both end the day with a win. NDSU has 3 really good wrestlers in Weber, Franek, and Fogarty but only two weights for them to start.

[RadioBison]

Franek wins 7-2 and gets 7th.

Luke Weber wins 5th place with a 3-0 win.

NDSU with two placers at 157 and both end the day with a win. NDSU has 3 really good wrestlers in Weber, Franek, and Fogarty but only two weights for them to start.

We have four weights where the backup and the starter are very close to the same level. I think that is one reason that we are placing so high in this event. I haven't done the math, but it feels like everyone on the team is able to contribute team points. Some of these tournaments only allow 10 guys to score points.

[Big Bird]

Metz loses 6-0 and takes 4th. Just had trouble getting to his offense against Thomas, who is very good and has great quickness.

Stibral loses to Wilson and takes 8th.

[Big Bird]

Cam with the early takedown and he leads early. Couple tilt attempts but Alvarez rolled through. Good start

[Big Bird]

Alvarez escapes, but Cam leads 2-1 after the first and has 1:45 of riding time. Really good start for Cam
