The Beavers at Southern Scuffle

OS Wrestling Fans,

Break time is over, time to go back to wrestling!! The Beavers are traveling across country to Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the Southern Scuffle on Jan 1 & 2.

Before the details there, I wanted to make sure everyone knew about another story, connected to wrestling. Long-time OS wrestling fans may remember a name from class of '97, Andy Sapp. Andy made it into a story in the Oregon Stater, Winter 2012 Edition, page 54. While, by his own admission, never a star, some of us remember Andy for the side-splitting senior talk he gave at his final wrestling banquet. Andy has gone on to prove he has the tenacity of a winning wrestler by building a ranch not far from Boise for troubled boys.

Read the story of Cherry Gulch on page 54 of the Oregon Stater on-line at this link:

Congratulations on a job well done, Dr. Sapp - and good luck going forward!! Check it out if you haven't seen it already, it is a great story.

Now back to the present team. The Beavers will be in McKenzie Arena at the University of Tennessee, in Chatanooga, TN. The Southern Scuffle is a 2 day tournament, with action beginning this Sunday, January 1, at 10:00 am EST (7am PST) and concluding on Monday, Jan. 2.

Also note that their story says the finals will be live-streamed through a link on that page, so it may be possible to watch. Depends on your computer connections.

Happy New Year! Go Beavs!!
