OkST has got a good one in White. His athleticism is off the charts. Beautiful doubles and ankle picks. Kid is a problem. Incredible tournament. He beat Aaron Stewart, Jimmy mastny, and Betz in a row. Betz beat #1 Waters in the semis so White will most likely be ranked #1 next week
'25 Ironman Tournament (12/12-14) thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Already started at VaTech. Said Miller is a
Junior in highschool and James a senior. However Miller is older than James.
I'm always about letting them wrestle. Until my guy loses. Then, they should have called it.
Sorry guys, I missed in recruiting him. White wrestles in our conference.
Bite gait. The bite heard round the world. I didn't not bite that woman.
He’s a Senior. Class of 2026
very young for his grade. Wrestled U17 this year. Crazy two years younger than Basset and Forrest and same grade
They should shovel their own snow.
HR glad they dumped him, probably.
My Flo stream crapped its pants (that comment probably belongs in the Ono/weight cutting thread I guess). Nice. Those bastards had better have it fixed before the PSU/Wyoming dual.
A little like easy Ed. Patiently dominating.
Sweet. I'm friends with the guy that reffed the match, so I'm sure we'll talk about the experience.
I missed a few over the years. We've had a bunch of elite wrestlers over the years but Nick Lee has always been my favorite.I just bragged you up today.
126 pound Final- #2 Grey Burnett vs. #1 Paul Kenny (CBA)
Period 1:
Upset #1 complete. How about one more? Burnett avoided a rabies diagnosis, so he's ready to roll! Here we go! Circling, head tapping & tying up.

Burnett goes 2 on 1. Kenny drops to a leg. They're scrambling & Kenny tries to catch Burnett on his back, but no luck. They keep scrambling, but it's a stalemate & restart.

Period 2:
Burnett takes down. He works to his feet, then rolls & gets the escape, 1-0. Out of bounds & restart. Burnett shoots. Kenny counters with a throw by. Stoppage & restart for PD.

Kenny works to his feet & gets the escape, 4-1. Circling & hand fighting. More of the same to end the period. 4-1 Burnett
Period 3:

Wow ! James will only get better in our room next season. Young man is the Real Deal. Congratulations Jayden James
Something is not right at Oklahoma State. Don’t think they will be getting the elite recruits everyone thinks soon. Gilman and RBY pretty much said the same after leaving and coming home.
You're joking right? Have you seen their 25 and 26 class?
Burnett wins 4-2, very good D for Burnett, able to fight of several shots
The other Bob Prince standard line after a victory is appropriate here..."How sweet it is"
Sweet! I'll try to throw that in during the Wyoming dual!

Rough tourney for Iowa:
Kenny lost to PSU
Duffy lost 15-0 to PSU
Joe Bachmann got majored and it didn't look that close
National #1 Fred Bachmann didn't make the finals
Kenny lost to PSU
Duffy lost 15-0 to PSU
Joe Bachmann got majored and it didn't look that close
National #1 Fred Bachmann didn't make the finals
All good training for when they actually wrestle for Iowa.
Bo dominated Bachman - MD with Bachman using all of his injury time, 2 or 3 stalling calls, 3 or 4 cautions, and two locking hands. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but on the mat with Bo.
BMc otherwise did not perform well. Losing Herring and Forrest was big but none of their guys, other than Miller & Bo, placed.

Considering their Board didn't even have an Ironman thread, I am sure it won't bother them at all
