197 Consolation R4: Michael Beard vs. Tanner Sloan (S. Dakota St.)

I will cover this until Starocci's match

Per 1
Beard reaches, nothing. Nearly gets an ankle but TS with a nice counter, they scramble, and go OOB with 2:32 left. Byers is covering the Semifinal matches, and not even talking about this match. smh. Beard in on a head inside single, drives in and gets the TD, 2-0. TS works up, back down, and OOB with 1:32 left. TS flattened off the whistle, then Beard tiltes him with a 2-on-1 and gets swipes, and 4 NF, 6-0. Now Byers suddenly notices this match. TS works up slowly, and to his feet, and back down near the edge, and OOB with 16 sec. End. RT @ 2:00 for Beard

Per 2
TS takes bottom. Beard with a good ride. TS is flat. TS to his base, then stands, and they go OOB with 45 sec left (Beard nearly got reversed there). TS works up, hits a switch but is back down. A rideout. End. RT @ 4:00 for Beard.

Per 3
Beard takes top. TS to his feet, back down. RT is locked. TS to his feet, and OOB with 1:27 left. Beard cuts him, 6-1. Beard in on a single, elevates, but loses the leg. Beard in on legs and gets the TD, 8-1. Ride him out, and it will be a major. TS is flat. End. With 5:03 in RT, it's a 9-1 Major.

[BruceK-PSU83]

CStar, very nice.

How may semi-final matches have been won via really good top wrestling? A bunch.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kemerer wins 8-1, so Starocci will face him in the final

 

[amattaro]

If you smell, what Sta-Rock is cooking!

 

[PAgeologist]

Kerk wins 13-5 in his R4 Consolation match

If you're not busy, can you type out a detailed play by play?

Just kidding.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Kerk gets Schultz next.

 

[Locolion]

Carter!!!!

Starocci - like oxen pulling a plow!

 

[fortheglory94]

HS football may have Friday Night Lights, but NCAA wrestling has Friday Night Lions! Cael just knows what this round is all about, its amazing.

 

[Still in State College]

Beard and Kirk go one more tonight, correct

 

[82bordeaux]

Tell me Starocci looks big fir 174. 165 2022!

Maybe he can top Dake the Flake. NCAA Champ at 174-165-157-149-141.

 

[Cowbell Man]

I’m guessing they were hoping he had a full Nelson in for a second there. Illegal hold would negate everything after.

Based on the Howard Match they don’t know what one is. Like rabies, they’ve never seen one.
