Robbie is a damn good wrestler. Scouted him for our club, for Derek Yingling, and it didn't matter. Kid is quick, has good position, and is solid technique wise. That win Edmund had over Robbie, that was NOT chopped liver, that was a great win.

Hey - what part of the 'Burg are you from? I grew up in Latshmere Manor - same hood where the Ruth's live!
Heh, I lived about five minutes from there on Boas Street near Roberto's Pizza. Spent a significant amount of summers working at the poor in Latshmere
Wow that's close to home alright! Did you know Scott Black who is on the board for managing the pool? His brother Chris was one of my closest friends and also the first Susq Twp wrestler to win an NCAA title.
I've known Scott for quite a while. He's a little...off, sometimes but always very friendly.
Went to Cedar Cliff back in the day (class of '68) and remember Chris Black well, and what a great career he had at F&M.
Just did some searching, and apparently, Black passed away about 3 years ago.

Chris Black, a former standout wrestler and member of the Franklin & Marshall College Athletic Hall of Fame, died of melanoma June 19, 2014 in San Francisco. He was 63.
Born in Harrisburg, he attended Susquehanna Township High School and Franklin & Marshall College, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1972. He founded and operated two importer/distributor businesses.
Black is one of only four members of F&M’s wrestling program to be honored as a two-time All-American, having secured the distinction after winning the NCAA 126-pound College Division Championships in 1971 and 1972. He captured the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association title at 126 pounds in 1972 after finishing second the previous season, and was named the most valuable wrestler at the 1972 EIWA Championships.
Inducted into the F&M Athletic Hall of Fame in 1981, Black went undefeated during his freshman season, winning all 17 matches. Over the next three seasons, he compiled a 38-2-1 record in dual matches.
Scott is also a very close friend. We've known each other for over 50 years. Yes he is a little unorthodox, but I wouldn't want him to be any different. His brother Chris died from melanoma about 18 months ago and it still hurts to think about it.
Next time see Scott, tell him that his natural superior says hi and that he must prepare to grovel! I guarantee that will really catch him off guard.
BTW, sorry to digress on this thread. It's just that this discussion is really close to home for me.
Yep. My son went there when Marshall was a senior. He had Peppleman & Courts as round robin partners - ouch.
Oh man, this is serious history for me. I spent the summer of 2012 in the Bay area where Chris was last living. We got to spend a lot of time together that summer and he went downhill right afterwards. I'm so thankful for that opportunity. Here is a photo of us at the 2011 NCAA tournament. I'm the really good looking guy on the far right, and Chris is standing next to the tall guy with the Penn State shirt.
We had a lot of great adventures, but one of our biggest brags is what we did at the 1972 summer olympics in Munich. I'm getting way off the topic of this thread with this, so I'll post that story on a new thread.
What time are the quarter finals in the morning ? Don't want to miss them....Oh man, this is serious history for me. I spent the summer of 2012 in the Bay area where Chris was last living.

Immediately following the Pletcher/Carton match. Anyone know what mat they're on?
Great match...What mat is Edmond coming up on ? Got flo up but not saying mats....
Ruth and Patrick a damn near replica of their State Title match. Ruth 3-1 in SV after a slide by. I don't know whether I'm impressed or not that Edmond can win matches while having little to no offense from neutral
Yes Baby...RUUUUUTH !!!!Think he may have the #1 seed coming up in semis right ? Was not sure who won....
That's a huge win over a returning state champ and top 10 national guy. Next he gets Vulakh, who's good but not as good as Matthews.
Just like his brother at that age he does what he has to in order to win.....Do you realize Patrick was unbeaten and dominated everyone until he ran into Edmond ? I will say it right now IF he comes to PSU which i believe he will....He will be a 3 or 4 time National Champion.... I will bet anyone on it....He is our biggest recruit we MUST get !!!! Hope and Pray Cael is putting on a full court press....He may get beat next match but keep in mind he is going to surpass everyone once he gets to Blair....
That's the same Patrick who last year was #1 in the state but went 1-2 DNP at Hershey, right?
I'm different. The way Cael has been building the program I no longer consider anyone a must get...
^^ This.
IMO the only must get guy in the past 5 years was Suriano -- and that's only because we had nobody capable of immediately replacing Nico at that level.
Robbie Patrick is a GREAT young wrestler. Ruth beating him twice is very impressive.
Same Patrick who Ruth beat in the State Finals this year. Ruth gave him his only lost of the season in the finals....
The must gets are the ones Cael and staff decide they want. For some reason spyker NEVER seems to trust what Cael and the staff want. At least he is consistent so I will give him that.
Not that I'm the least bit worried about Seth Nevills because he's flattened every opponent he's seen the last 2 years or so, but he got pushed in the QF. Needed SV to win 8-6
Seth Nevells with a wake up call win in OT....Kid hit a funcky roll at the end to take it to OT....Seth took him down rather easy in OT....Hoping to hear something from Seth this weekend.....Nick Nevills and Jason Nolf was in his corner....
Cael and Casey want Ruth trust me....They both know he is just scratching the surface right now !!!! Perfect fit for 174 when Hall graduates !!!!The must gets are the ones Cael and staff decide they want. For some reason spyker NEVER seems to trust what Cael and the staff want. At least he is consistent so I will give him that.
I was outside in the lobby during his match but I'll definitely keep an eye on him come the semis
I trust no one...
Ok, maybe the doctor that does my prostate exams but other than that I trust no one...
