Beavers Can't Quite Catch Sun Devils

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

The final score of 20-13 in favor of ASU does not tell the whole story by a long shot. The Sun Devils should feel lucky to have escaped Gill with the win!

Yes, the Beavers only won four of the 10 matches, but 7 of the matches had scores separated by two points or less. Three matches came down to Over Time. The Beavers picked up two of those - the wins by Jamarcus Grant(197) and Grant Willits(133). Two of the matches where the Beavers were outranked, they kept it very close and nearly won - Kegan Calkins(133) and Hunter Willits(157) nearly pushed through to victory over their ranked opponents.

The raucous crowd of 1022 fans had plenty to cheer about as both teams battled hard. It wasn't looking so good at the start as the Beavers lost the first four matches before finally picking up wins at 197, Hwt, 125 and 133.

Congratulations to all the Oregon State match winners, Jamarcus Grant, Amar Dhesi, Ronnie Bresser and Grant Willits!

While on the subject of Open tournaments, there is one final Open coming up. It occurs this Saturday, January 26. The California Collegiate Open is held at San Francisco State. Parents, if you want to watch your son wrestle, be sure to check with him first to make sure he is going. They are not required to participate.

A few other items in the news:

FALL Club member and former Oregon State wrestler Phil Frey died of a sudden heart attack yesterday. Please keep Phil and his family in your thoughts and prayers. May he rest in Peace. He will be greatly missed.

Many of you have asked about NCAA tickets. If you have contacted Coach Taylor Meeks about getting on the ticket list, he will get back to you with a number. Then when the tickets arrive, you will be notified. Then you contact the box office, pay them for the tickets and they will mail the tickets to you.

Speaking of the NCAA's, if you are still making your plans to attend, note the flier with hotel information. There are two hotels to chose between. If you are looking for hotel rooms for the Pac-12's in Tempe, AZ, contact me and I can send the information.                

Don't forget, one more Home Meet this week, the Beavers host Clackamas Community College on Friday , Jan 25 at 7:00 pm. More on that later in the week.

Go Beavs!
