Bill Farrell - Nov 8 & 9
- Thread starter backdrft76
- Start date
This tournament is coming up quick. Lots of great high school kids entered as well as Kyle Snyder. Hasn’t been a super deep tournament in the past but there are always some tough guys and great matches. On the PSU front we have Nate Desmond and PJ Duke competing. I think Duke is probably the favorite at 70kg especially since he recently beat Lewan and Jacques. The one guy he hasn’t seen is Andonian. Will be fun to see if Dukes incredible defense stands up against Andonians high octane offense. Jax is also competing at 57kg
Here is a flo article talking about the tournament and has the schedule

Does the wrestler list seem down from past years? Most weights aren’t great.
70kg will be fun to watch
70kg will be fun to watch
It was Zhumashbek Uulu who teched Lee at the 2021 Farrell. He has mainly competed at 61kg since then.
Does anyone know how to find the W&J Open entrants? It is tomorrow, I live 5 minutes away, and if there are some HS studs coming in I'll make my way down there.
I am sure someone is more informed than I am, but aren’t a lot of tournaments shown on Track Wrestling or FloArena?

Desmond rocking the Bartlett singlet, tech's Liam Cronin 10-0. Looked great a couple of TDs, stepouts and leg laces. He'll draw the winner of Deshazer & Courtney in the finals.
Duke pins Andonian leading 10-2 in 2:24! LFG!
So we have Desmond vs Deshazer (what an age gap that must be) and Duke vs Lewan, and Snyder vs. Mike Macch in the finals.
I got pulled away earlier. Here's PBP of Nate's Semifinal match. I should be around to cover the finals.

Lost in PJ's continued insanity ... teching Cronin is certainly a good win for Desmond.
What a beast Duke is. It’s truly remarkable the talent we have coming in year after year.
I’m watching Iowa, Nebraska, tOSU since the season started. All Super tough teams and teams that in a normal world compete for team championships. Then I look at what we have now and in the future, and it’s NO chance for these other teams. Really scary how good we are

Desmond looked great! He was stringing multiple shots together & was sharp offensively. That was an impressive win.
I can’t think of a time that Andonian has been beaten like that. Absolutely crushed him. Duke is so good in those double over/under positions and his inside trip is a thing of beauty. Also countering Andonians aggression with that metzger was awesome. This group of high school kids ( Duke, Blaze, Jax, Bo, Desmond, etc) just dismantling really accomplished college and senior level guys is so impressive
Deshazer looks to be 30 or 31. He graduated HS in 2011. Lewan will be 25 in March.
Nelson Brands will be 26 in February. Maybe the oldest wrestler still in college but not sure.

Peter Duke Junior could be the next 4timer. He is so good. The Bill Farrell wasn’t great, but PJ looked amazing in the matches he wrestled.
When you're right, you're right @BrockBronson
I'm having a hard time seeing this kid RSing. Blaze, Lockett, and Knox make this 2025 class something else, but I don't think it's that tough to see who the best guy is. Ain't I right, @smalls103 ? (Yeah, I peeked at your big board before posting just to confirm you are the best at this
)
