Wrestling No. 1 Penn State dominates Lock Haven, 44-3

They donā€™t really like outsiders. The last time they had a police officer for Noxen, they loaded his car with 30 rattlesnakes. Needless to say, he quit. This had to be around 1985 or so.
Can't believe I never heard about this place lol
 
Whatā€™s 40 feet long and has 2 teeth?

The potato pancake line at the rattlesnake roundup
True story: back in college, my brother and I drove from PA to New Orleans for New Years -- and on the way, we took a friend back to her home in Opp, AL.

Outside town was a billboard, "Welcome to Opp, home of the Rattlesnake Rodeo."

My brother asked her: who has to put the saddles on the snakes?

The last few miles were uncomfortably quiet.

There was one again later, but he was a local. The place reminds me of Kentucky a lot. Good salt of the earth people on some rugged but beautiful land, that are distrustful of outsiders and somewhat clannish. I dig that. Some crazy things could be seen around town back in the day.

Never been there but for me, Dingess in Mingo County WV comes to mind. I spent a couple days down there and Logan County checking out the area of the Hatfields and McCoys feud and at times felt like I was in another world. I stopped along the road near Dingess and a state trooper stopped. Told me it would be best if Iā€™d do my business (stopped to piss) and leaveā€¦the locals donā€™t want you here. Lol

When he asked for ID, which HR handle did you give him? That might explain the hostility.
 
More a "suburb" of Tunkhannock than Wilkes Barre and not really considered part of the Back Mountain, thankfully.
Well I went to Lake Lehman in the Back Mountain and Noxen is in the same school district, so I beg to differ. Plus I threw in Wilkes Barre for some one totally not familiar with the area, I figured it was a better chance of knowing that versus Tunkhannock.
 
Well I am sitting in the Back Mountain 5 minutes from Lake Lehman High School while typing my posts ;)

Back Mountain and Noxen are two distinct areas separated by Harveys Lake area. Heck, Noxen is not even in the same county. Surprised to hear they are part of Lehman School District.

Are your sure it's not Broke Back mountain?

Iā€™m wondering if twitter embeds got Musked this morning.
That was my second thought, but poking around I can see that Youtube and Instagram embeds are also broken, so it may be a Rivals thing. I imagine FB embeds are also broken but they don't get posted here as often so I didn't notice.

Knew a nice polish girl from Tunkhannock (Factoryville)

I always enjoyed the Lake Lehman relays. Track and field. Do the relays still exist?
 
Every once and a while I'll take a picture with my 5 year old cell phone and think that its a good picture. Then I'll see pics from a real photographer like tikk and reality sets in real fast.
I just think it was ingenious that Scott did preseason training by going out into the wild and photographed amazingly fast animals. How else could he get that shutter finger up to speed for the likes of RBY.

RBY > Elk
 
Just rewatching the Lock Haven matches.

Has SVN always had a transition to a Turk? I didnā€™t watch a ton of his HS stuff. He got to it or nearly did several times. Was pretty smooth with it, too.

You have to think that wrestling and working with Zain in practice has to help him with the Turk set ups.

Factoryville is NOT Tunkhannock. Let's play nice. Factoryville equals Lackawanna Trail.
She had Factoryville phone exchange but went to Tunkhannock HS.

I was only there a couple of times (in the 70s) so donā€™t know the geography that well.

True.

Maybe my memory is faulty but did Zain get it going WHILE in the process of taking the opponent down? I saw it happen with SVN at least once, maybe twice in his match and man, that was good chain wrestling.

Yes, in the dual against Micah Jordan. But you're right, that was not something Zain did frequently.
