Seams like I missed Starocci for the 2nd time today as he got a quick first period Fall and made the finals!
Clarion Open
- Thread starter Thenightking
- Start date
Insanely unhelpful post
Shunk down 9-2 in the first as I got there way late and must’ve missed him giving up a handful of back points...he was in on a shot late, but couldn’t convert.
he’s on bottom now to start the 2nd and he gets the reversal...he’s down 11-4, but riding tight
Gives up an escape and takes a sloppy shot - gives up the TD
Climbs an arm with the other guy riding legs and he reversed him - it’s 6-14 after 2
Neutral to start the 3rd and Mooseman drives in and scores a double
Shunk escapes and it’s 16-7
TD for Shunk and it’s 9-17 after RT added.
Missed the first, but the next two periods were competitive, just too much of a deficit to overcome

He's got Siegrist in the finals. Siegrist is a SR who is a tough kid, type of kid who will be a bubble NQ type, but will wrestle tough, tight matches against most everyone not high on the podium.
Should be an interesting test for Carter.

Im just crotchety. But OMG can mean a lot of things. The funniest/worst is when there’s a string of 1/2 word reactions with no content. For those not able to watch/listen, it’s torture
Assuming they only place top 4...

Kurtz v. Boyle (Kent) on mat 5 now
kind of boring first period with one shot attempt between both guys in 3 mins - atleast it came from our guy
Boyle escapes to start the 2nd and it’s 1-0 now
Both guys have Stall Warnings
Kurtz snapping plenty, but not much else
It ends 1-0 after 2
Kurtz chooses bottom in the third
Boyle signals neutral to the ref and it’s 1-1 now
Ugh, OT
no offense to either guy but this match is setting wrestling back a few hundred years...were in rideouts now
Kurtz on bottom first and he tries an elevator as he faces him but fails and gets ridden out
Now Boyle down and he’s out quickly
Boyle getting trainer attention because apparently this match hasn’t gone on long enough already
and Kurtz can’t get a TD and it’s done

Beard v. Bulzak (Clar) FINALS
Got to it late and it’s 6-4 Beard in the first
Bulzak escape and it’s 6-5 after 1 and Beard has 1:04 RT
Bulzak chooses bottom
Tries a switch and sits a few times til he escapes
Bulzak scores a go behind to go up 8-6
Both legs in and this is reminiscent of how their match ended last year except for this time Bulzak has a lead
Beard chooses bottom in the third down by 2
He can’t stop the legs again and he’s getting flattened out
He gets halved over and gives up 2 NF
Beard down 10-6 now
Beard in a switch, gets a reversal but it’s not enough - Bulzak wins it 11-8...rough one!

Surprising result especial considering Beard is training with Cael, Bo, Cassar...
Some conditioning is needed for sure. He looks plenty thick but slowed in most matches towards the end. I don't see him handling someone like Moore right now by any stretch. It will be interesting to see if we hear of any details re a wrestle off with Conel, but despite the grey shirt year he might need more time and that was not my expectation.

Service kids are tough - even good college kids occasionally end up on the wrong side of a score against a service kid that you would think they would beat.
I don't know. I have seen Beard wrestle an awful lot of times - HS through college. When he looks good, he looks great. But grinding matches out has never really been his forte.
I gotta say that Bulsak is a mini hulk. The dude is ripped. Once he got both legs in and broke Beard down to his belly, Bulsak just manhandled his half in to turn Beard for back points. Looked painful.
And that’s why having Conel is more than a luxury
