Scuffle Results
/The 10 Southern Scuffle Champions
For the second consecutive year, Gabe Dean (Cornell) beat a #1 wrestler in the finals of the Southern Scuffle. This year was not the upset that last year was by any stretch of the imagination, but still very impressive. The reason Dean was not ranked #1 was a disappointing 4th place finish at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Inv. That tournament may be an outlying event when we look back at his career.
Alan Waters (Missouri) was one of three Tigers to win the tournament which is really impressive. Waters winning really shouldn't be a huge surprise, but Garrett (Cornell) had looked unstoppable so far this year. Garrett got caught with a leg in during a scramble and you could see he immediately felt uncomfortable himself not being a leg rider. Waters used it for a reversal which was the difference in the match.
Oklahoma State had three champions of their own. Alex Dieringer is making college wrestling look a little too easy, Josh Kindig keeps winning and proving his top 5 ranking with an impressive win over Houdashelt, and Austin Marsden defeated Adam Coon (Michigan) in impressive fashion.
Penn State won the team title with Missouri coming in second. Penn State proved with young stars that they may have the best "B" team (combo of redshirts and backups) that the sport has ever seen. Even still they won the team title.
Kevin won the Midlands picks and the Scuffle this week. The picks were very close with the Scuffle defeating Tommy and Rob 22-20-19. Now we have to hear about Kevin's winning streak for awhile....
