Celebration For Isaac Woods & Other News

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

This message from FaceBook on Isaac Wood's memorial service:

  • There will be a Celebration of Life for former Oregon State wrestler Isaac Wood on:
    Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 1 PM

  • Crook County High School Auditorium
    Prineville, Oregon 97754
We will be doing a March of champions in honor of Isaac’s many years of wrestling. We are asking if you wrestled with Isaac at USA Cobra, Sam Barlow, Oregon State University, USOTC and the US Army to join Isaac’s Children in the procession. Please contact me [Micalene Stafford] at 541-233-8197 if you have any questions. Wrestlers please pass this along.
 
After the service will have a reception at the Prineville Golf & Country Club please bring a potluck dish if you have questions about food contact Marla 541-280-7569.
 
I also ask if you have pictures of Isaac you would like to share please email them to me at Micalenestafford@yahoo.com
 
We are so thankful to be able to celebrate Isaac’s life with you all Thank you so very much ❤️.

All former and present wrestlers who knew Isaac, please note, there were two requests here - first for pictures if you have any to scan and share and second to pass this message along to other friends of Isaac who may not be on this email.

For that matter, if you have good photos of Isaac to share, you don't need to be a wrestler, let's help the family out if we can.

Meanwhile, the wrestling season continues with the Beavers in training for the final tournaments of the year - the Pac-12's and the NCAA's.

In that light, FALL Board member Craig Scharer has been busy surfing the internet and coming up with good things to pass along. Thanks, Craig!

***
Looking ahead to the future - Oregon State has announced two new signings for recruits on Twitter. Scroll down the page a little way to the separate notices for Ein Carlos and Aber Romero. Welcome to Oregon State, gentlemen!

***
While you are scrolling down the Twitter page, be sure to stop and check out the story at the link to the NCAA story with their list of the 13 active wrestling coaches who had the best college careers as wrestlers themselves. You'll find our own Head Coach Jim Zalesky high on that list!

***
Speaking of upcoming tournaments, another of Craig's finds is the allotment of qualifiers from each of the NCAA Div I conferences in each weight class. As has been in recent years, the number of allotments to the Pac-12 is on the slim side. The only weight class with more than 1 or 2 allotments is the 125 pound class, which takes the top 3. Another list mentioned is the individual rankings put together by the coaches' poll. We need some boisterous fans at the Pac-12's to help boost our guys to those top placements on the trophy stand!

***
Several people have asked about the Pac-12's - next Saturday, March 9 at ASU, mostly about seating. Seating is general admission, with an all-session pass.
 
2019 Pac 12 Wrestling Championship Session 1
Sat, Mar 9, 2019 11:00 AM || Wells Fargo Arena
2019 Pac 12 Wrestling Championship Session 2
Sat, Mar 9, 2019 5:00 PM || Wells Fargo Arena, Finals at 7:00 PM

I would encourage everyone to get there by the time the doors open, 10 am and 4 pm, so you can get in as early as possible to select your seats. Wear your orange and black so that you are identifiable as Beaver fans. That way other Beaver fans can make their way over to sit near you.

***
One other item from the news that Craig shared - former Oregon Stater Devin Reynolds is wrestling for Grandview in Des Moines. He will be in the finals tonight in the NAIA tournament. Best of luck, Devin!

*** 
One week to go until the Pac-12's !

Go Beavs!
