Starocci with a long hard ride for the first minute of the 3rd. Henry gets an escape and an immediate TD by Starocci with a ride out to win 11-6 with 3:47 of RT. Wow!!! Kids a beast on top...
Carter wrestles with quickness, strength and a wee bit of meanness. Great scuffle for him!
There is no coach in the country that can evaluate a kids talent better than Cael.
Wore the blue Mark Hall.
What a tournament for Starocci (C*). Almost 4 mins of riding time.
Starocci has improved so much in his limited time in the room. He is going to be absolutely scary when he takes over for Marky next year.
But I think it was Jefe that first turned the board onto Carter...but could be wrong. And Im not ashamed to admit that I wasnt all that high on him. Not like some of the other recruits..
Thanks to Willie for telling Cael first and loudest.
I don't know if I did that or if somebody's trying to butter me up ...
But he caught my eye at 2017 states (his SO year) when he beat a couple good opponents (including Nijenhuis) and then gave Cam Coy a battle in the finals. Much improved over his FR year. And then he won double gold at Fargo that summer.
Which means he caught my attention 1-2 years after he caught Cael's.
His wins at 2018 states over 9-House and Hartman -- the kind of matches you have to win at NCAAs if you want to be a champ. Serious mental toughness.
How the hell does Beard not know that kid was gonna shoot with 12 seconds left and a tie score? Very lazy at the end and it cost him...
9-7 final bad guys .. Great tourney fellas. Keep working ! Your making us proud !!
I think Michael's three losses this season have all been matches where he has faded and lost leads.
great showing by all three. Lack of experience (and no coach there) showed a couple times. I think they need to learn to wrestle with a lead. A couple matches got away that shouldn't have. The future is bright.
I agree 100%! Not impressed with his effort or leg defense. Needed to keep whizzer instead of turning down!
Another year in the PSU room will correct a lot.
We need him to be a high AA next year!
Bo lost to Andy McCulley of Wyoming at Southern Scuffles his redshirting freshman year.
I'd say our guys are where they need to be

I wonder if Willie is at the tourney or having to watch it on Flo. If it's the latter, I'd rather kick myself in the balls if I were him...
Naw, he cracked Pyles’ pw in 3 tries. “JockWhiffHeaven1”
Congrats to all three guys—good representin’ and also learnin’
Goodness, PSUNATTY--did you ever wrestle? That was Beard's 6th match in 2 days--with 5 of his 6 matches being against ranked guys (3 of them in the top 8!). I thought he wrestled very well. Yes, he tired at the end, not surprising under the circumstances. I salute Beard for a great effort over the 2 days! Sorry if I seem critical, but most of us have no idea what these guys go through!
Worth mentioning too about all three Scuffle guys is that they had no coach in the corner, and that often showed.
