How many points in the finals matches? 4 plus any bonus? How many do Army and OK have in the finals?
Southern Scuffle - Jan 4 & 5
- Thread starter a_mshaffer
- Start date
They’re still wrestling the other placement matches, so it’s not as simple as projecting finalist points.
Army has 2 and Oklahoma has 1 in finals. They both have 5 left in consolation. No idea on the scoring
149 pounds Final: #4 Connor Pierce VS #2 Jordan Williams (Little Rock)
Period 1:
I put away my groceries now too & I'm ready to roll! Jordan Williams is ranked 16th by Flo. There's an intense heavy metal guitar solo between matches. That'll get everyone going! Only Nick & Casey in the corner. I haven't seen Cael or Cody all day. Here we go! Circling & head tapping & some tie-ups. A couple half shots, but not much more. Williams works a 2 on 1 & Pierce reaches down & grabs a leg. Williams is trying to fight it off. He gets a whizzer & then kicks free. Pierce drops right back in on a leg & they go out of bounds, restart, 1:05 left. Circling & Pierce coming forward. Williams shoots & gets a leg. Pierce gets a whizzer in, and then tries to kick free, but Williams hangs on to the leg. Williams gets to his feet, elevates the leg & trips Pierce to the mat for the TD, 3-0, then rides out the final few seconds. 3-0 Williams
Period 2:
Pierce takes down. He gets to his feet, but Williams trips him back to the mat. Pierce gets to his feet again & gets the escape, 3-1. Williams with +36-sec riding time. Pierce is pushing forward a little, tying up & breaking, 1-min left. Williams starts backing up oddly & then falls to the mat & the ref blows it dead, restart. I'm not sure what that was. Back to action immediately, so no injury time. Tying up, Pierce is pushing forward a little, then Williams circles back to center. Williams shoots & gets a leg. Pierce is trying to fight it off, but Williams finishes off the TD & rides out the rest of the period. 6-1 Williams
Period 3:
Williams takes down & gets a quick escape, 7-1. Pierce gets in deep on a double, but Williams fights him off & they're back to neutral. That was demoralizing. Pierce throws in an underhook. Williams hits a duck, but nobody scores. Williams shoots again & gets another TD, 10-1. Stoppage & restart, 1:04 left. Pierce gets to his feet & gets the escape, 10-2. Pierce comes forward, but he can't find an opening, 30-sec left. Pierce gets in on a leg, elevates it & trips Williams to the mat for a TD, 10-5. Pierce rides out the period.

Why did ref stop that. Injury? If so, shouldn't Connor have had choice?
Or call stalling for backing out. One or the other
Respectable run for Connor Pierce, kid never even made the finals in PIAA's.
I thought Connor looked pretty good there. A few good shots, two very deep, one converted. He had a rough go of it in a dual last year and has proven several times over that it was a fluke. Good showing this weekend.
PSU vs Army in the heavyweight final. Cole Mirasola VS #1 Lucas Stoddard of ARMY. Maybe that'll be the deciding match?

He finished 2nd to Crookham as a SR. Still a good run for an undervalued prospect.
The Banach Brothers story is truly a great history of overcoming human setbacks. For those not familiar research their life .
Hey guys, just want to point out there is a Brown University finalist! 😀
He was on the U23 team. He won 125kg gold at Pan Am championships, but the rest of the team won gold too, so not the stiffest competition.
USA wins nine gold medals to dominate U23 Pan American Championships in men’s freestyle
RIONEGRO, Colombia – The United States claimed nine individual gold medals and easikt won the team championships in men’s freestyle at the U23 Pan American Championships on Saturday. This is the first year that UWW Americas hosted a U23 Continental Cha...

Stoddard made it to the semis of the U23 World Championships, but then lost to Masoumi from Iran. He fought back to the Bronze match, but then lost to Kurbanov from AIN.
Lots of free time between matches. They're really dragging this out.

Hey guys, Brown University has a SS champ! Ignore that third period guys!
The way they are pacing these finals, you would think this tournament was worth a shit.
I had no idea.......truly an amazing story! Never knew they had so many siblings and especially appreciated Steve's story. Got a glimpse of his story before the Soldiers Salute Tourney but enjoyed reading it in more detail here. I attended the Iowa 28 Day Intensive Camp in the late 70's and got to meet (and get pushed by 😛) Ed and Lou. That was before there great achievements.

Three pins by PSU and Army being deducted a team point does seem unlikely.

Like Ryder’s style and aggressiveness. Nice dub. Nice weekend.

Ryder not remembering that MD coach admonished that you don't have to go for the pin.
