***Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational Dec 1-2***

[SimpsonCyclone]

Colbray goes down 2-9 to Holschlag of UNI. He was in deep on a shot in the first period and Holschlag managed to get his shoulders just past 90 degrees for the ref to start a TD count under the new scramble rules. I thought it looked like Colbray could have bailed but either that was wrong or he didn't realize the count was happening. So he ended up giving up 2 and fighting from behind the whole match.

He's got a lot to work on from bottom.

What's the scoop on Holschlag? Should Colbray be getting beat (and that badly) by someone of his caliber?

Jackson loved high credentialed freestyle wrestlers, but as you can see, that doesn't always work well in the college folkstyle mat game.

Think you'll see Dresser and Co. focusing more on strong folkstyle kids

Is there any update on St. John and his injury? I almost forgot he could contribute this year.

 

[Judoka]

2-7 loss for Allison. His tournament is done.

 

[Bam bam]

Swalla got pinned by #7 ranked Bernstain in the third period.

Not that it matters, but Swalla got teched. Flo has it wrong. They were on their feet when the match was called. Guy was ranked #4 so no surprise either way.

 

[Judoka]

Swalla gets pinned in the 2nd period. He's done for the weekend.

Pestano gets a 13-4 major and stays alive.

Just not a good win.

Colbray goes down 5-6 to Cervantes of Navy. He was in on a shot at the end but wasn't able to get deep enough to finish it.

I don’t think it has as much to do with FS credentials as desire to be a great college wrestler. When KD talks about changing culture...Colbray is top of mind. Actually, kind of surprise he is still on team. Hopefully, that means he is trying to do the things he needs to do to be successful but sure not showing it with his results.

Parker goes down 2-9 to #13 Terao from American and drops to the backside.

Storr picks up our first ranked win of the day. 7-1 over #20 Smith from Central Michigan.

 

[Boxer007]

How long has Terao been at American? He’s got to be like 35. Did he have a brother or something that wrestled there beforw him???

My video on mat 1 was down, but watch it from mat 2 video feed. Good match. I still think Straw has a lot of potential.

Seems like a dismal performance thus far. Storr is a stud.
