Updates from The Fall - Happy New Year!

 

Happy New Year, Beaver Wrestling Supporters!  Hope you all are enjoying the holidays, no matter how different they are in 2020.  I realized this is turning into a long email, so I will give the highlights first!

 

·         Coach P’s wife Selanèe is expecting their first baby around Jan 21.  The coaching staff is building their own family wrestling team, as this little guy or girl will join twins Breck and Brody Engel born on Sept 13.  We can’t wait for when we can meet in person!

 

·         The competition season is finally here!  First up, the Beavs will be away this weekend in Fargo for a quadrangular on Jan 3 with ND State, SD State and Missouri.  The action starts at 8am, Pacific.  Evan, will you stream on Facebook?

 

·         There will be Zoom calls a few days after the meets this season, where several of the wrestlers will give updates and answer questions from the chat.  I was told that the first one is slotted for Tuesday, Jan 5 to recap the team’s travels to chilly Fargo.  Stay tuned for the invite.

 

·         With no home meets and no post-meet socials this season, we will not be registering membership for The Fall.  For those of you who have already sent money, I’ll be reaching out to you individually regarding refunds.  Instead, we encourage consideration of donations toward The Wrestling Endowment Fund and buying new wrestling mats for the Dale Thomas Wrestling Room.  Please follow up with me if you have questions!

Thanks to longtime Fall board member, Craig Scharer for help with the following updates.

 

The season schedule is posted:

https://osubeavers.com/sports/wrestling/schedule

 

There are 2 home meets in Gill Coliseum, on Jan 30 and Feb 7, but due to COVID-19, sadly no fans will be in the stands.  Oregon State will also host the Pac-12 championships (date has not been finalized, but it will likely be one week earlier than typical to allow for quarantining).  The good news is it will be televised on the Pac-12 network. Coach P confirmed that the NCAA tournament will be a full 32-participant bracket.

 

The NDSU schedule says some of their matches will be on BEK TV, and we’re not sure if there’s a livestream and if there’s a cost.  https://www.bek.tv/schedule#/
