Beast of the East

[Mcnulty7310]

I ordered the trackwrestling PPV and will try my best to post results today.

Round 1. 126 pounds. Robbie Howard (Bergen Catholic) over Mykyta Khremli (New Utrecht) MD 15-5.

 

[psumacw]

beast isn't too far from me so i thought about taking my 1 year old for a couple hours before naptime. i looked for ticket info online before going and it's $30 per day just to get in and you're not allowed to bring in outside food. we'll be staying home and watching senior nationals

Howard 13-0 major over Angel Mejia of Roselle Park in second round. If seeds hold he will have Ryan Crookham of Notre Dame Green Pond in semis. Crookham is a PSU target class of 2022.

How is Ed Scott doing?

 

[Hofman19]

How is Ed Scott doing?

Unless I overlooked him, it does not appear as if he is in the field this weekend.

BTW, Stevo Poulin, who I believe took an official visit a few weeks ago, is 3-0 with two sub-30 second pins and 20-5 TF thus far.

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Sorry, got tied up with US Open. Ed Scott and DuBois don’t seem to be listed.

Howard just advanced via medical forfeit.

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Aurelius Dunbar defeats Thomas Stewart of Blair on a last second TD 6-5. Great match. Has 1 seed Andrew Cernigilia of Notre Dame in the quarters.

 

[pish69]

Thanks for updates. Keep it coming. Let’s go Robby!! Someone above said Howard may hit Crookham in semis. Very interested in this result and appreciate the posters keeping this thread alive.

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Stevo wins 9-1 over Luke Poore of Caravel and is in the semis. Crookham and Howard respectively are both on deck. If both win, they will meet in the semis.

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Robert Howard BC vs Trae McDaniel of Cleveland School

1. Howard TD immediately and locks up a cradle. 5-0. Can’t finish and period ends.

2. Howard on top to start. Escape McDaniel. 5-1. Howard TD. 7-1. Escape McDaniel. 7-2.

3. Howard on bottom and out. 8-2. Injury time as Howard is rubbing his left leg, not serious looking. Back at it and late TD for McDaniel makes it a 8-4 final for Robbie!

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Crookham pins Wask of Blair. Howard vs Crookham in the semis. Crookham has been an absolute hammer on top all tourney. His length may cause problems for Robbie, but should be a good one. Dare I say a full court press in order for Crookham?

Aurelius Dunbar vs Andrew Cerniglia of Notre Dame Green Pond. 1 seed and Naval Academy commit.

1. TD Cerniglia. 2-0. Suck back and it’s 5-0. Half Nelson and it’s 7-0. Escape Dunbar and it’s 7-1. Immediate blast double to the back by Cerniglia and he gets the fall. Cerniglia fall over Dunbar.

El-Jefe, this gets my vote for the best and funniest post of the month! Well done sir!

Fishback of Aurora pins Dunbar in the consolations.

So THAT’S what Coach Dan Gable looked like back in the day!

[Mcnulty7310]

Stevo with a nice series of catch and release TDs to defeat Joe Cangro of Bergen Catholic 10-4. Really slick neutral offense from Stevo.

FULL COURT PRESS !!!!

How about a full court press for the kid from SEM who beat Crookham last week?

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Robbie Howard, Bergen Catholic vs Ryan Crookham, Notre Dame Green Pond.

1. Late TD Crookham and rides out the period 2-0

2. Crookham down to start. Robbie with two boots in and a hard ride. Escape Crookham 3-0.

3. Howard down. Tough ride from Crookham. Robbie appears to have injured his shoulder. He is fine and they start again. Robbie reversal. 3-2. 3-2 final Crookham.

wow, kid doesn’t wrestle like a sophomore.

Bouzakis is a fan candidate to be certain but I'm not convinced he'll be a high priority for the coaches -- among the projected 149s, Van Ness, Crookham, and Mendez seem better fits. Bouzakis is more defensive oriented.

That plus he has already visited Cornell.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Crookham is legit and so is Robbie and so is Bouzakis. Ryan and Nic are going to be huge pick ups wherever they go. Ryan has a higher weight projection than Robbie I think.

 

[McScoreley]

Super excited for Robbie to get here. Kid has a ridiculous ceiling.

Well, he was having lunch when history started. He was there ya know.

Armbar is the latest version of "that guy" over there.

Overly sensitive, very self centered with unlimited wi-fi.

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Stevo just pinned NJ champ and current Notre Dame wrestler Brett Ungar in the first period of the finals after pulling some Nolf like stuff I can’t even describe.

That guy is a real piece of work. He's so angry for whatever reason. Maybe he has a little man complex or needs to finally come out of the closet, something.

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Crookham 5-4 over Eddie Ventresca in the finals. Love this kids style, he would be a great addition at 149 in a few years.

Future PSU star at 125?

 

[El-Jefe]

Future PSU star at 125?

Mutual interest, and Poulin is the 2nd best prospect after Figueroa (their recent match was not close). Without the weight uncertainty with Figs.

The one worry I'd have about Poulin is if he will be an early peaker, others later in their development might catch up to him. He was practically still in diapers when he hit the national scene.

 

[El-Jefe]

Aurelius Dunbar vs Andrew Cerniglia of Notre Dame Green Pond. 1 seed and Naval Academy commit.

1. TD Cerniglia. 2-0. Suck back and it’s 5-0. Half Nelson and it’s 7-0. Escape Dunbar and it’s 7-1. Immediate blast double to the back by Cerniglia and he gets the fall. Cerniglia fall over Dunbar.

Cerniglis beat Ulrey 11-6 in the finals. He's really good.

That was one of the slickest moves I've ever seen.

 

[nerfstate]

It’s a modified Jonesy isn’t it? rolling through with the shin whizzer. like Nolf hit on Pipher at the scuffle last year, and Brooks has hit a few times?

 

[js8793]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's an illegal cutback. You're not allowed to leave your feet and chop out behind the knee like that. Unless they changed the rule in the last year. I don't even think that's legal in college.

 

[js8793]

I was right: http://matref0.tripod.com/NFHS_Rules_Photos.pdf

If you scroll down to picture 81, it shows that a cutback using the leg, not the arm, to block an opponent's leg is illegal. Pretty sweet move, but he should not have gotten away with it, and fortunately his opponent wasn't injured.

Looked like he got his hip behind Ungar's heel and bent his own leg to tuck the kids foot in. Don't know if that makes it legal, but it wasn't his leg blocking opponent's leg.
I remember a couple years ago there were threads about Isaac Jordan v Bo Jordan match and Isaac's possible cutback.

That's move is sick. That was bold like you need imagination for that. FULL COURT PRESS

Still illegal. Any use of the leg/hip to block the leg is illegal, especially using the swinging motion he did. You can use your arm to block it without swinging your whole body weight into the move.

This was a super illegal move, but admittedly very cool. I wish it were legal, but I understand why it isn't because of the high chance of an ankle/knee getting caught and injured.

 

[SWPA]

What's the difference if he sweeps the leg like he did in the video or grabs the opponents calf and lifts? Their weight distribution is probably the same resulting in the same fall.
