Highlights from Nov 11-13 2022

[Dark Energy]

Start with some Bearcat highlights
 

High school standout Meyer Shapiro won the Bearcat open at 149 with relative ease.  Most notable win was Sam Hillegas - formerly VT but now at WVU.  
 

Peyton Hall (also WVU) pinned Cornell’s Julian Ramirez in the finals of the Bearcat.  Was the end result of a ridiculous scramble.  Ramirez was in a bad situation through most of scramble but did his best to not give up a takedown - resulted in getting pinned.  Sometimes you have to know your situation sucks.  Giving up the TD is better than TD and backs .   Or the pin.

Stevo Poulin (NCO) of YouTube fame was the champion at 125!  Pinned HS phenom Liledahl after being up 6-0 in the semi.

Jax Forrest, another HS star, took out Cornell’s Ungar in consi semi.  Finished third.  Ungar beat his teammate LaJoie 14-2.  Figure he is Cornell’s 125 .. no?

 

Cornell’s Fernandez was the champ at 133.  Looks like some depth behind Vito.  
 

Cornella of Cornell was the champ.  Made easy work of it outside the first match vs Penn State’s David Evans.  They didn’t do true third.  Semi losers wrestled.  I bet this Evan fellow was the second best there although he finished 5th.  Penn state has done well with him.

 

Cornell’s heavy - Fernandez won a match and the forfeited out.  Hmmmm.

VT loses dual vs Ohio State … but kinda won too.

Latona beats the newly anointed Mendez.  Big news.
 

Bigger news … Caleb Henson takes out Sammy Sasso in OT.  Got two nice TDs on a guy who is hard to takedown.  Spent a lot of time on Sammy’s legs.

Keegan O’Toole results make it look like he is in a path of destruction.  TF, Pin, Pin to win the Tiger Style invite.  Final pin was against Dan Braunagel of IL. (Ranked 21 in Intermat)

Edmond Ruth (wow, that has to be confusing … Ed Ruth) of IL beat Peyton Mocco 7-5 … a decent upset.

I'd also put G's pin of Humphreys up there on the highlights.

No Mesenbrink for Cal Baptist against Iowa State or Iowa.  That said, he is registered for the Bill Farrell at 74 KG (yay).

Artalona and Zapf of Penn swapped weights with Artalona back up at 157 and Zapf down to 149.

Whittlake went 2-0 at 184 with a win over former Cowbiy turned Mountainhawk in Samuelson.  Strength or size was not a factor.

I've hated Sassos style of giving up his legs for years and continue to hate it.
