Keystone Classic thread

He lost to a backup. He had no concept of the time or what he needed to do in the match. Cutch doesn’t lose that match and Cutch is proven to get to Rd 12 and should make podium this year. Cassar has some nice offense when he gets to it and I’ll root for whoever they throw out there. That being said I’d be more comfortable with Cutch
pish,
come on man. he lost a match he should not have lost, but to an NCAA qualifier that has outgrown 184. Not exactly a nothing.
 
Cutch converted a low single on Diabe, App State, giving him a long ride, turns him twice, 12-0 after one in third place match. Diabe never gets off bottom, Cutch turns him again, gets the tech.

DeSanto up 26-12 with RT going into the 3rd against Gonser. Gonser picks top and rides the snot out of DeSanto to avoid the TF. Freshmen gotta learn...
 
Not much happening in the Cortez Dippery final after 1, 0-0.
Cortez starts on bottom, tries a dangerous roll, almost gets stuck, but comes out back door and gets the reverse. Dippery escapes, Cortez up 2-1.
Back to not much happening in neutral, second ends. Dippery gets bottom to start 3rd.
Dippery escapes, tied 2-2.
Cortez in on a double, needs to pop his head, does it, is up 4-2. Dippery escapes, 4-3.
Cortez backpedaling, gets the late stall warning but he holds on, 4-3. Got the takedown when it mattered, in the only shot he took I believe.

Jeez, Dippery makes Cortez look like a 25lber. How in the heck was he ever trying to make 133?
 
Zain Deakin, easily the toughest guy Zain will have faced this season.
Deakin doing a good job matching the hand fighting so far. But Zain gets in on a head outside single and converts.
Blood time, Deakin's face as a likely result of Zain cross-facing him.
Deakin has only been majored once, by Sorenson. Zain riding time up over a minute.
Zain chooses bottom to start 2nd.
Deakin holds on, gets riding time under a minute, gets hit with stall warning. Giving Zain real problems from top. Zain finally away, up 3-0, gets to a leg, finally converts, 5-0.
Does Deakin take bottom? Yes, he takes bottom.
Zain gets riding time back up over a minute. Will let him up, 5-1.
Deakin hanging in there, holds off a Zain shot.
Zain with a late TD/E/TD/E sequence to get him the major, 10-2. Deakin was game though, should be on podium.

how zain takes all those jabs to the face and pokes to his eyes without just jacking someone is beyond me. seems like every guy tries to take him out of his offense by jabbing him to the face.
 
Nolf opens with a head and arm again but can't seal deal. Up 6-0 on Velliquette. Now 12-2.
Nolf seemingly offering Velliquette a front headlock to make things interesting.
Way too hard to describe a Nolf match. He's up 16-4 after doing lots of Nolfish things.
Aaaand there's the pin. Seven matches, seven pins on the year.

Perhaps knocking Hayes down a spot. Could be a bad matchup for Hayes giving his mat struggles
 
It's just the first few matches against unranked opponents and Mark does appear to be getting on board with the whole bonus point thing. I felt we might see a super skilled competitive kid like Mark find his way to bonus point land his sophomore year. So far so good.
P.S. Mark kills from double unders I hope we see more of this as the year goes on.
 
Cassar v Mattiace, nice reattack by Cassar but came up empty. Lots of head slapping by both guys, someone's going to get warned. No score end of first. Mattiace defers, Cassar chooses down.
Cassar with a quick switch reversal, and escape for Mattiace. 2-1 Cassar.
Cassar converts a shot but guys go out of bounds. Video challenge?
Cassar lets Mattiace up to start third, 2-2.
Beautiful blast double by Cassar, 4-2. minute remaining.
[sorry, got interrupted by a coughing fit]
Mattiace escaped, making it 4-3 and Cassar got hit with his second stall call, so tied up, but Cassar with non-assured riding time point.
Cassar gets the double and wins it 7-4.
