Monday Practice and Wrestle-offs
Due to the Snow Day there will not be practice or wrestle-offs after school today. 12/13/10
Wrestle-offs will be tomorrow, if we have school.
Wrestle-offs will be tomorrow, if we have school.
Week One: Riverside Rumble Day Two
The team started out very slow when the consolation bracket began on Saturday. It all started with two wrestlers not making weight and having to forfeit matches. Then there were two byes and only one victory out of 8 matches of the first round. This eliminated 7 wrestlers right away in matches that we should have won to help us in the team race. In the championship bracket things got off to a better start with Zak Adkins, Rynell Roper, and Dylan Norwood all winning. The second consolation round eliminated another three wrestlers leaving only freshman Allen Harrison going for the Beaver Bracket Championship. In the semis in the championship bracket, Zak Adkins lost a hard fought match by giving up three takedowns to lose 8-6. Rynell Roper won his match in overtime in a battle of conditioning. Dylan Norwood won his semifinal match, with a second period pin, to send him to his first finals round of his career. Lamar Gunter, who lost his first championship round match, rebounded with a victory and then a loss. Zak Adkins put his tough semifinal upset behind him and defeated a wrestler he saw a day earlier to advance him on to the final round. The finals were set up as follows: Allen Harrison going for 1st in the consolation bracket, Lamar Gunter going for 5th, Zak Adkins for 3rd, and Rynell Roper and Dylan Norwood going for 1st. Allen Harrison lost his match by pin to finish second in the consolation bracket. Lamar won his match for 5th by a 8-7 score. Zak finished 3rd in a well wrestled match. Rynell lost a disappointing 3-2 decision to the defending Rumble champion. The state alternate, from West Branch, took the lead on a first period takedown that Rynell could not recover from. Staying on the championship mat for the next weight class, with the same opposing team in West Branch, Dylan Norwood took the mat in his first championship match. He wasted no time in taking his opponent down and attempted to try a cradle. He was able to secure back points from the cradle but not the pin. Going into the second period, Dylan chose the down position. When the whistle blew, Dylan exploded up and his opponent was off balance and high on his back. Dylan shook him off over his head and looked to lock up another cradle and this time he was successful in pinning his opponents shoulders to the match for the championship win. Congrats Dylan on your first wrestling championship. With his victory, Dylan solidified the team finishing in the top ten, which was our team goal going in to the tournament. Great job guys. (Video of matches will be added this week)
Week One: RIverside Rumble Day One
After day one, three Euclid wrestlers have won their pools at the Riverside Rumble, by going 3-0. Those three are Zak Adkins, Rynell Roper, and Dylan Norwood. All three were seeded #2 in their weight classes. One other grappler, Lamar Gunter, finished 2-1. All four start tomorrow in the championship bracket in their pursuit of the title. Other Panthers picking up wins on day one were Linje Ross, Montay Jordan, Jeremy Adkins, Mike Figer, Reggie Phillips, and Donovan Hobbs.
Week One: Riverside Rumble Preview
Going into the Riverside Rumble, the Panther wrestling team has three wrestlers seeded number 2 in their respective weight classes. Zak Adkins is #2 at 145lbs., Rynell Roper #2 at 160, and Dylan Norwood #2 at 171.
Week One: Eastlake North Tri.
The wrestling team started the season on a rather sour note on Wednesday with a pair of defeats at the Eastlake North Tri. meet. Against Ashtabula Lakeside, a team that beat the Panthers 45-24 last year, we were leading the until the final three matches and dropped a 45-30 decision. This total included two forfeits by us, which accounted for 12 points for the Dragons. In the second dual, against North and a team that beat us by a 61-6 score last year, the grapplers got off to a slow start and were behind early 24-0. They charged back behind the leadership, and pins, by our upperclassmen only to fall short again by the score of 51-30. Multiple winners for the team were Rynell Roper, Zak Adkins, and Lamar Gunter. The matches that follow are of the winning wrestlers.
