Wrestling Team Heading For the Desert

Las Vegas Convention Center

 Now that all the turkey and dressing has been eaten - hope you all had a good Thanksgiving! - it is time for the Beavers to pack their bags and head for Las Vegas, Nevada. One of the big, early season tournaments, the Cliff Keen Collegiate Invitational, takes place Dec 2 and 3, this coming Friday and Saturday.

If you are still looking for a reason to visit Las Vegas, this is it. Many of the top teams in the country will be there, along with all six of the Pac-12 teams. The Cliff Keen website has all the information you are looking for. You will find the list of all the participating teams, the schedule, ticket information, location, where to stay, etc.

A few tips - Tickets: sold only at the door and cash only. $40 gets you an all-session pass. Location: the venue has been moved back to the Las Vegas Convention Center where it has been for quite some time - except for last year, so don't go back to where you went last year! (And if you like "Cowboy Christmas" - the all-cowboy-all-the-time gift show extravaganza, you'll probably be passing right by it on your way to the wrestling!) Schedule: wrestling begins at 9:00 PT on Friday morning.

If you haven't checked osubeavers.com lately, a couple of new articles have appeared on rankings recently. You can check the archives at the previous link to see what you may have missed.

The season goes by so quickly, it is not too early to plan ahead for the end. Don't forget about the fan bus to Stanford for the Pac-12's, coming up Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017. We need to figure out whether or not to go ahead with plans with the bus company. So far we have 10 people signed up. We need 30 more to make it possible. Let me know ASAP if you are interested.

A few details about the bus trip to help you decide (based on how it went the first time we did this): the bus would travel from Corvallis to Palo Alto, it takes about 10 hours or so driving time, add in some time for rest stops, passenger pick-up (possible pick-up stops: Coburg, Roseburg and Ashland), refueling and a lunch break in Redding, CA. The bus takes everyone to a central hotel, takes us to Stanford for the tournament, to a Social after and back to hotel, then returns to Corvallis the following day. Cost will probably be around $85/person for FALL Club members, more for others.

If you have any questions about the bus trip, let me know.

One last bit of business - we've had lots of problems with FALL Club members not finding their email updates lately. This has to do with email providers trying to reduce spam, not me deciding to remove you from the list!

Sometimes these group emails end up in spam folders or in the case of g-mail, sorted into other categories of email called, "promotions", "social", "updates" or "forums". Those tabs are the headers to your email. "Primary" is the main category.

There are some things you can do to try to stop this. One is to create a "whitelist" of emails that you want to receive mail from. One way is to make sure you have my email address in your address book. For instructions and further detail, check this page http://sci.scientific-direct.net/wl.html. If you hear of anyone saying they haven't received their email lately, please share this with them. I hope this helps.

Bring home some Las Vegas bling, guys! Go Beavs!

Weekend Results

Michigan has taken the second of the Joe Wells Classic's, the first last year in Michigan, the second this year in Corvallis.

A crowd of 1,053 saw Michigan take all but two of the matches. Joey Palmer, 141, won his match by decision, 4-1. It wasn't until the last match of the afternoon that the Beavers got to celebrate another victory. Cody Crawford, filling in at heavyweight, ground out a 15-3 major decision. Three Beavers had to wrestle up a weight to help fill the hole at heavyweight. True freshman Bob Coleman moved up to 184. Cody Griego took the 197 slot and then Cody Crawford filled the heavyweight slot.

Congratulations to Joey Palmer and Cody Crawford!

For more details on the matches, read the articles at osubeavers.com and at Michigan's website.

A small group of fans gathered in Reser for the Social after the meet. There was a change of caterers last year. The caterer is set by OSU as long as we are using the athletic facilities. While the food has all been great, the prices last year were higher than the year before and this year they have really jumped. The Board needs to discuss the viability of the system we now have. If anyone has any feedback about the style of the Socials, please let me know.

Thanks also to those who signed up for the fan bus to Stanford for the Pac-12's! It is early, but by the time we have the next meet at home, it will be less than 30 days until the Pac-12's. We need to have at least 40 people to make it financially feasible for us to charter the bus. Please let me know if you are interested and have not yet signed. Thank you!

Members of the squad also took part in two different tournaments today. Congratulations to Jack Hathaway - third place and Collbran Meeker - sixth place at the Roadrunner Open in California!

Roadrunner Open, Spokane Open And JW Classic - All This Sunday!

Oregon State will have wrestlers competing in three different states, Oregon, California and Washington  on Sunday, Nov 20. Pick your state and go root for the Beavers!!

The first string will face off with Michigan in the Joe Wells Classic in Gill Coliseum at noon, in Corvallis, Oregon.

If you are near Fresno, California, you can take in the Roadrunner Open, all day. 13 squad members are competing:
At 141 - Jack Hathaway, Hans Rockwell, Conner Noonan, and Izaak Tobin.
At 149 - Bryce Parson, Alex Rich and Zach Evans
at 165 - Collbran Meeker, Joe DeMatteo, Riley Jaramillo and Dracius McKee

At 285 - Jimmy Millea

If you are near Spokane Washington, one Beaver is entered in the Spokane Open in Spokane, WA. Michael Carr will be competing at 149.
This information is from TrackWrestling, in fact you should be able to follow the Beavers at the Opens on Trackwrestling.com.

One news story that I missed recently was the recruiting news. OSU has an article on osubeavers.com. Another article at the Pueblo Chieftain was sent to me by FALL member Ron Iwasaki. This article covers twin recruits Grant and Hunter Willits from Colorado.
Good luck to all the Beavers wrestling on Sunday!!

Go Beavs!

Joe Wells Classic This Sunday

Before getting to the Meet this weekend, one look back to the Mike Clock Open Tournament last week.

Anousa Sengsavanh, father of OSU wrestler Amari Sengsavanh, shared a link to photos he took at the Mike Clock. Parents, take note. This is one of the times many of the guys on the squad get to wrestle. Anousa has some nice shots here. It's also a good way to get to know the faces on the squad. It's a real test since they are "unattached" and not wearing Black and Orange! Thanks for sharing, Anousa!

This Sunday, Michigan comes to Gill Coliseum for Oregon State's home opener in the second annual Joe Wells Classic. Joe was the Head Coach at Oregon State from 1992-2006, previously he was an Assistant Coach at Michigan. Joe died last year following an intense battle with cancer. The Classic was formed in his honor. Cindia Wells sends her greetings, but will not be able to attend. She is currently working in Michigan.

Wrestling begins at noon. Neither team has their regular line-up. Read the articles at Oregon State and Michigan to scout the situation.

"The FALL" Fan Club will be hosting a Social following the meet, on the Club level of Reser Stadium. Snacks will be served and a short program will follow, including some door prizes and Silent Auction items. Door prize tickets and the auction items help defray the cost of the Social. Donations of Auction items or door prizes are always welcome!

One bit of business for the Social will be to gauge interest in a fan bus to the Pac-12's at Stanford in February. We will have a sign-up sheet at the Social. We have to get this done now as this is the only home meet (and Social) until January 30!

FALL members, don't forget to bring your ID badge for free entry to the Social. Lanyards will be distributed at entry to the Social. Lapel pins will be distributed in January - they are still in the production process at this time.

FALL Board members will be out in the lobby of Gill until about 11:50 am. If you have not yet joined, you may sign up there, or at the entrance to the Social. You can also use the online portal at any time.

Michigan is ranked #11. The Beavers can use a large, noisy crowd for support. Hope to see many of Joe's wrestling alumni in the stands cheering on the current Beavers!

Go Beavs!

Results for Duke Dual

The Beavers' first dual of the season on Saturday was with Duke. While we knew the Beavers' won 22-20, we did not have any details. Finally found some here in the article on Duke's Wrestling News page. 

To save you the trouble of looking for it, I have the main body copied here below. One comment - it appears that both teams had a forfeit, so there were only 8 matches. Duke forfeited 125 and OSU forfeited 197.

Winners for the Beavers were: 125 Kegan Calkins - by forfeit, 141 - Joey Palmer by decision, 149 and 157 Joey Delgado and Abe Rodriguez - by decision, 165 Rodney Williams by major decision and 184 Corey Griego by decison. Congratulations to all the match winners!

Here is the article from Duke:

DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke wrestling team mounted a furious comeback, but couldn’t overcome an early deficit in a 22-20 loss to 15th-ranked Oregon State to start the Blue Devils’ dual schedule. The Blue Devils won three of the final four bouts with bonus points in the comeback effort.  

Senior Jacob Kasper continued his perfect start to the year at heavyweight with a third-period pin over David Henry. Kasper has picked up bonus points in three of his six victories and with two of those wins coming by fall.

The Blue Devils trailed 19-3 after six bouts and then picked up five points on a commanding 15-0 technical fall by Connor Bass at 174 pounds. He joins Kasper on the undefeated list with a 6-0 mark with four of those wins earning him bonus points.

After a decision at 184 by Oregon State’s Corey Griego upped the Beavers’ lead to 22-8 and put the match out of reach for the Blue Devils despite getting a forfeit and a fall in the final two bouts.

Also earning his first dual win as a Blue Devil was senior Cole Baumgartner at 133. He edged Devan Turner by a 10-8 decision to improve to 4-2 on the year.

Both Zach Finesilver and Alec Schenk put forth strong showings in their losses to top-20 foes from Oregon State. Schenk fell 7-3 to 14th-ranked Griego, while Finesilver suffered an 11-5 setback to No. 12 Joey Palmer.


No. 15 Oregon State 22, Duke 20 
125: Kegan Calkins (OSU) wins by forfeit                                        Oregon State 6, Duke 0

The Beavers return for their home opener next Sunday, Nov 20 at noon vs Michigan in the 2nd Annual Joe Wells Classic.

Go Beavs!

Beavers Split Weekend Duals

We don't have all the details, but we do have the results of the Beavers' opening action of the 2016-17 season at the Mountaineer Duals in Boone, NC. Won the first, dropped the second.

According to the article at osubeavers.com, the Beavers defeated the Duke Blue Devils 22-18, but then lost to Appalachian State, 25-15.

The link to TrackWrestling never worked for the first dual with Duke, so we have no details other than the score.

The results from TrackWrestling show wins from true freshman Devan Turner at 133, senior Joey Palmer at 141, a fall by senior Joey Delgado at 149 and another win by junior Abraham Rodriguez at 157. Congratulations to the winners!


These are the results - from osubeavers.com:


Appalachian State 25, Oregon State 15
125: Vito Pasone (ASU) dec. Kegan Calkins (OSU), 13-9
133: Devan Turner (OSU) dec. Colby Smith (ASU), 3-1
141: Joey Palmer (OSU) dec. Irvin Enriquez (ASU), 13-8
149: Joey Delgado (OSU) pinned Matthew Zovistoski (ASU), 3:24
157: Abraham Rodriguez (OSU) dec. Gavin Londoff (ASU), 4-2
165: Forrest Przybysz (ASU) dec. Rodney Williams (OSU), 4-1
174: Marcus Johnson (ASU) dec. Weston Dobler (OSU), 3-2
184: David Peters-Logue (ASU) pinned Corey Griego (OSU), 3:32
197: Randall Diabe (ASU) won by forfeit.
Hwt.: Denzel Dejournette (ASU) maj. dec. David Henry (OSU), 12-4
 


The action seems to have been much closer than the score appears when you read the details from the Appalachian State Wrestling News page:

The marquee matchup of the day came as Appalachian State University wrestling played host to Oregon State, who were ranked No. 15 in the country in this week’s USA Today/NWCA poll.

The Mountaineers won the final five matches to get the win, getting one pin on the day and one major decision.

The neck-and-neck battle began in the very first weight class as senior Vito Pasone (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./E.L. Meyers) took Kegan Calkins in the 125-pound match. Calkins worked his way to a slight advantage in the match and held it for two and a half periods, but Pasone continued to fight, pulling back within striking distance before getting a last second takedown to give him the 13-9 decision. 

The Mountaineers were then unable to take the next four weight classes, as No. 8 Joey Palmer defeated Irvin Enriquez in the 141 match 13-8, No. 18 Joey Dalgado downed Matt Zovistoski by a pin in 3:24, and Abraham Rodriguez defeated Gavin Londoff in the 157 match by 4-2 decision.

Appalachian refused to go away quietly, however, as No. 16 Forrest Przybysz fought another tough 165-match, once again getting a victory in a 4-1 decision. Marcus Johnson carried the momentum forward, getting the super close 3-2 decision victory over Weston Dobler. 

With the team score close, David Peters-Logue battled in a ferocious back-and-forth against No. 14 Corey Grego, but found an opportunity late and took it pulling Griego down and locking him into a pin (3:32).

Randall Diabe got the win by forfeit at the 197 weight class to give the Mountaineers the lead, putting the onus on the heavyweight matchup to secure the victory.

No. 9 Denzel Dejournette worked the legs of David Henry well from the start, keeping the heavyweight out of attacking position. Dejournette would take the final match of the day and secure the upset for Appalachian State by getting a 12-4 major decision. 

If I can find any other information on the dual with Duke I will send it out.

The Beavers will have to regroup and come home for the Joe Wells Classic next Sunday, facing off with #11 Michigan at high noon in Gill Coliseum. We will need a large, supportive crowd to cheer the Beavers on for that contest!

If you simply cannot get there, it will be televised on Pac-12 televison. You can find the link on the OSU schedule page. Click on "Watch" on the right side of the page on the line for Nov. 20.

There will be a Social after the dual in Reser's Stadium's Club Level for all members of "The FALL". Hope to see many of you there! Still time to sign up for "the FALL" Fan Club!

Go Beavs!

Beaver Wrestlers Start Season on East Coast

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

This Saturday, Nov 12, brings the beginning of the wrestling dual meet season for the Beavers. They travel to Boone, NC, for the Mountaineer Duals. The event will be held in the Appalachian State varsity gym.

Oregon State faces Duke at noon EST (9:00 am PST) and Appalachian State at 2:00 EST (11:00 am PST). Times are from TrackWrestling.

If you want to watch live video, Craig Scharer found this link to sign up for video at Appalachian State. The least expensive option is $11.95 for a month. Not sure if the video would cover all the duals. They may only cover the ones with App State. The dual between OSU and Duke might not be covered.

You can follow live stats or find results at Trackwrestling under Event duals.

To scout the opposition, you can read up on App State in this online article. Duke has an article posted in this archive, but at the moment the article doesn't seem to be working. Don't forget to read the latest news from Oregon State. Brooks Hatch has an article up on osubeavers.com with the latest rankings.

The Beavers Home opener will be the next weekend. Sunday Nov 20 is the date for the second Annual Joe Wells Classic. #15 Oregon State takes on #11 Michigan.

Neither team will field their regular heavyweight as both OSU's Amar Dhesi and Michigan's Adam Coon are out with injuries. Coon is out for the season, hopefully Dhesi will be returning soon.

"The FALL" Fan Club will be hosting a Social in Reser Stadium after the JW Classic. There's still time to join "The FALL". Visit our website to find the links for either the online portal or for the downloadable application form.

If you are still wondering about the forfeits at the Mike Clock, Ron Iwasaki attended. Ron relayed that there were more teams, both women and men. That all added up to a long event even with an extra mat. Students first, athletes second, some guys had to get back and couldn't stay that late. Can't blame them!

If you are in North Carolina this weekend, stop in and cheer on the Beavs!

Go Beavs!

Mike Clock Results & Open Tournament Schedule

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

A group of Beaver wrestlers dove into competition today in Forest Grove at Pacific University's Mike Clock Open.

At 141 - Zach Wigzell took 2nd and Hans Rockwell took 4th. Bryce Parson was 2nd at 149. Three other Beavers placed 4th: Collbran Meeker - 165, Weston Dobler - 174 and Jimmy Millea - Hwt. Congratulations to all the placers!

There were a number of forfeits listed. This is just a guess, but it is possible that some left because they could not stay long enough. I wasn't there, so I am not sure about that.

One new face, Wyatt Patten - 157, showed up as a member of the Oregon State team by TrackWrestling. He  must be new, as his name had not been on the roster until now.

The results, compiled by TrackWrestling, follow:

Intrasquad Results

Black team

 Fans and wrestlers alike got their first taste of real matches for the 2016-17 season tonight in Gill Coliseum.

Before the 7:00 hour rolled around, Ronnie Bresser and Kegan Calkins did a demonstration drill match, exchanging takedowns. Ronnie may take his redshirt year this season, but that has not yet been determined.

Orange Team

The regular matches began with a couple of exhibitions. The first was a match at 141 between Conner Noonan and Michael Carr, two freshmen. Noonan prevailed, 4-2. The second exhibition was two more freshman, at 165. Riley Jaramillo took on Drake McKee. Jaramillo took the match 12-5 after two close periods.

Jaramillo vs McKee

The scoring matches began at 133 with redshirt freshman Hans Rockwell and freshman Devan Turner. Turner was the victor, 8-4.

141 was between two former starters, Joey Palmer - last year's 133 - and Jack Hathaway who was the starter at 141 last year. It was very close but Palmer won 5-3.

149 - Joey Delgado won a major 13-3 over Bryce Parson.

157 - Abraham Rodriguez picked up a first period tech fall 18-1 over Joseph DeMatteo.

165 - Rodney Williams won by 7-2 over Collbran Meeker.

174 - Was definitely the closest match of the night. Redshirt freshman Weston Dobler and freshman Bobby Coleman battled back and forth through Sudden Victory, Double tiebreakers and a second Sudden Victory before Dobler got a last second takedown to win 4-2. Coleman definitely had the biggest fan base, as his fraternity brothers came to show their support.

184 - Corey Griego won by fall in the first period over freshman Adam Rateb.
Orange Team
197 - Cody Crawford won by injury default in the first period over freshman Kuloly Tudela.

Hwt - David Henry, former OSU football player, won 6-0 over teammate Josh Parazoo.

For more details, check the articles at osubeavers.com: the pre-meet article and the article with the results of the Intrasquad. Both contain interesting news which are not included here, so check them out!

Some, but probably not all, Beavers will participate in the Mike Clock Open at Pacific University on Sunday, Nov. 6, in Forest Grove. So far they have no article about the tournament, but if they do, you should be able to find a link to it here:
http://www.goboxers.com/archives.aspx?path=wrestling
As a fan, it was good to be back in Gill! Attendance was good and many fans used the opportunity to check out the new seats on the lower south side of the arena. Pretty cushy!!

Go Beavs!

Who Will Be On the Starting Line-Up? Intrasquad - Thursday Nov. 3!

Open Practice

 Who will be the starters for the Beavers for this season? The answers to that question should come this Thursday evening in Gill Coliseum. starting at 7:00.

Depth at some of the weights is deep, so there will probably be some wrestle-offs at Practice on Wednesday. The result is that there will be around 10 matches, maybe a few more, on Thursday evening.

Admission is free and parking in lots around Gill will also be free (no football game.)

More wrestling will be coming up this weekend at the Mike Clock Open Tournament all day Sunday at Pacific University's Stoller Center, in Forest Grove. Wrestling begins at 9:00 am and usually lasts into  the evening.

OSU will not be sending the whole team this year, only about 20 guys. The starters will stay home and get ready for their first duals of the season the next weekend back in North Carolina.

Parents - if you are wanting to see your son wrestle, make sure you ask him if he will be there! Circumstances sometimes interfere with participation in the open tournaments.

If you are in the Forest Grove area, attendance is a great way to show your support for wrestling. The Stoller Center has limited seating, so you may have to be willing to move around, but there is usually a spot to sit in the bleachers.

If you want to refresh your memory on who all the team members are and learn the new faces, the roster has been updated. Most of the bio's of the new members have been added.

While we have passed the deadline given for joining "The FALL" Fan Club, there's still time to join! The deadline helps us get a good chunk of the work done ahead of time. That gives the FALL Board more time to focus on the fans at the Meets and the Socials. Our wonderful Membership Coordinators - Reynold & Jennifer Gardner - will be happy to accept your application and get your ID badges in the mail. If you are really late, then you may pick up your badges at the Meets or the Socials. https://squareup.com/store/the-fall-fanclub/ For on-line membership. Or for the paper and US Mail version, fill out the application and mail it in.

If you are using the on-line portal to join, be sure to scroll down the page. There is more there than just the membership sign-up. You may also make donations to the FALL, buy merchandise or tickets to the end of the season Awards Banquet!

One note on the ID badges. To be efficient, we mailed only the badges in their plastic holders. Lanyards will be available at the Socials, just ask for them at the door. Pins, as mentioned before, will be available in January.

Thank you to all who have already joined!!

Hope to see many of you in Gill on Thursday!

Go Beavs!!
