Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational (Friday & Saturday)
- Thread starter Judoka
- Start date
I'll keep supporting the team and let the season play out but not feeling great about our squad right now. Granted it's still early but what we've seen so far has not been encouraging.
Agreed. Still time to get it together but it has been a poor start to the season.
How did Goose pin Moore? I missed it.
Not great results this weekend. Earl is the only one I watched who was wrestling well.

And even his 3rd place match was pretty disheartening. Can't complain too much about 4th at this tourney though.
He was ranked really high. Beat Brandon Sorenson(Iowa's 49 over currently ranked 2nd) a couple of times in the finals at Fargo.
So a day later...
125: Larson did what I expected him to
133: Disappointed in that last match, and Hall needs to stop being so tentative, but he scored points when it counted. He should have won that last match to take 3rd but he did a lot better than most of the guys this weekend.
141: Really disappointed in Dante's performance. He had the weakest weight class in the tournament sitting there for him and he failed to place.
149: Gabe's loss to Short doesn't look as bad as it did when it happened so I just hope his shoulder is okay and his medical default wasn't due to something that'll keep him out for a while. Though regardless I hope we sit him against Wyoming
157: Good win for Logan over a ranked wrestler, I'll take it. I think we're looking at "fringe qualifier" for 157 this year.
165: Weatherman needs to get consistent. Sometimes he wrestles to where he was expected to, sometimes he drops bad matches. He had two good wins and two bad losses this weekend.
174: Like Dante, really disappointed in Spoon's performance. He had a relatively weak bracket, was seeded high, and failed to place
184: Awesome weekend for Pestano. Picked up some decent wins and made it into day two when I was hoping he'd maybe be able to win just one match. Gives me some hope he can at least keep the 184 or 197 spot respectable for us this year if he has to. Not great, but maybe around what Mayfield did a couple years ago when he was in the lineup.
197: Hope Egli can get healthy
HWT: Scanlon did what I expected him to.

Tanner's fall over Cooper Moore

Not sure if it is Flo Pro or not.
Tanner was getting tilted for a nearfall and rolled though and stuck Cooper with a headlock.
Cooper got stuck by Chad Welch earlier in the tourney

Can't complain about 4th place? Maybe I wouldn't complain about 4th place at nationals but this is horse ****!
