Beavers Hit Log Jam

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

The Beavers found themselves in a pretty deep hole after the first four matches of the meet with Stanford and never could dig their way out, losing to the Cardinal 15-21.

Ultimately, the Beavers did win four of the matches, but it wasn't enough to come out on top. Congratulations to the four who won -  at 197 Corey Griego - winner by fall, At Hwt Amar Dhesi who had an upset decision over #5 Butler, at 125 Ronnie Bresser keeping his streak going and at 149 Josh Reyes winner by 9-4 decision.

Many of the matches were very close. The very first was at 157. Hunter Willits lost 2-5 to an experienced Paul Fox. Bot the 133 and 141 matches were lost not only by a single point, but at the last second.

Do have to give credit to freshman Myles Terry, who turned in a gutsy performance at 174 against #9 Keaton Subjeck. The score at the end of round 1 was 2-4, round 2 was 2-4. Myles just about pulled off a big throw that could have won him the match, but Subjeck was able to use it to his advantage.

The Beavers now have to pull themselves together, renew their confidence and head to Bakersfield for their final dual of the season as they visit the Roadrunners at 6:00 pm tomorrow. The Roadrunners are fresh off a 34-7 victory over Cal Baptist on Friday.

One last item as food for thought - this article from Associated Wrestling Press was shared by Ron Iwasaki who got the link from Marlin Grahn. The article is a list of reasons that Cael Sanderson gives as reasons "why (his) kids will wrestle".

Go Beavs!
