Girls' division wraps up the 14th. I couldn't find an entrants list for it, so I'm not sure if any Cowgirl commits are entered.

okokzach · 2025-12-12T06:36:09-0600

Cowgirl commit Millie Azlin (Bixby) is the 1 seed at 190 lbs. Flo's high school girls rankings has her #7 at 170 lbs. Angela Bianchi (Matty's sister) is the only other commit that I'm aware of and she's not on the list of entrants.

okokzach · 2025-12-12T09:17:08-0600

Jamison Forrest is in the 120 lb bracket. He just won his opening round match 8-7 with a late takedown and 20-second ride-out

Corby2 · 2025-12-12T09:20:30-0600

Freddy Bachmann and Charlie Desena were the 2 main scratches.

That's a bummer we won't get Raney v Bachmann. Surely it's not a weight issue, right? He and his brother both went up multiple weight classes since last season

Hasn't wrestled yet. The 190 bracket is smaller than a lot of the others and Mikey got a bye so his first match will be in the 1/8 round. If he doesn't lose, he'll only have two matches today

Ignacio won by major in 3rd round and he was dominant on his feet. He scored on leg shots and finished on almost all of them. Jayden Raney got a 1st period fall. He got the takedown in a few seconds put his opponent on his back quickly, but his opponent gave up 4 but got off his back and a few seconds later he was on his back again for the pin. Very dominant!

TheJimReaper · 2025-12-12T13:48:14-0600

Anyone know what time the quarterfinals will start?

Corby2 · 2025-12-12T13:49:40-0600

Ohio refs are always gonna do some wild stuff. Burnett losing with :20 to go and he said the kid bit him. Didn't look like it from his reaction . If I'm Blair coaches I'm livid

Jordyn won by pin in the 2nd period. It was a scoreless first period. In the 2nd it looked like Jordyn got an escape and a takedown, but they called it a reversal. His opponent escaped and he got a takedown and then but him on his back and pinned him. Raney had lots of shots in the 1st period but couldn't score. His opponent demonstrated good defense but also was very defensive.

White with a pin to move on. Not bad for a kid learning to wrestle.

Yes White got 3 takedowns with strength and speed. Could ride his opponent all day but let him go but after the 3rd takedown he muscled a cradle on his opponent for the pin. His opponent was still down with trainers looking after him. Powerful cradle? Michael seems very strong. I look forward to seeing him against highly rated opponents which will begin next round.

Yeah that's a very questionable call

okokzach · 2025-12-12T17:03:39-0600

Quarterfinals are rolling. Nos is in the hole on Mat 2 against Michael Ruiz. Jayden is right after him against Eric Casula (Stillwater).

Villasenor wrestled so good in the first 2 periods I thought he was going to get a tech. But he started running and gave up 2 takedowns in the 3rd period although he did hit Ruiz with a nice double but gave up a quick escape and takedown but won with a 17 to 10 decision. A very dissatisfying 3rd period. Jayden wins by tech over Casula with lots of takedowns. Dominating!

Yeah he'll need to conserve his energy better against the top dogs tomorrow and commit to a ride if he can

Jordyn Raney wins 16 to 1 over a rated wrestler. He rode his opponent the whole 2nd period but no points. He exploded in the 3rd period with several turns and a near pin with a cradle. Dominating!

Watching our current freshman and this incoming class I don’t know how you can’t help but get excited.

Evidence doesn't support a bite. There aren't top and bottom marks in the photo that was posted of his hand

okokzach · 2025-12-12T18:56:40-0600

Luke Hamiti can wrestle!! He must have jumped levels in the past few months. He gave Nick Singer all he could handle. Luke got the first takedown and then played defense the rest of the match and it cost him when he gave up a late takedown. Singer was really tough on top and Luke couldn't get away. 5-4 loss to the 1 seed.

Mikey White up now against Aaron Stewart

okokzach · 2025-12-12T19:08:32-0600

Mikey White upsets 3 seed Aaron Stewart 7-3! He wrestled really aggressively and was great on top. Two takedowns to none.

Cowboy1989 · 2025-12-12T19:12:44-0600

White is a physical beast! If he can continue to improve his technique and skill he could be great wrestler for OSU.

He did look strong and quick. Also he was not tired and Stewart seemed tired. White always beat Stewart to the center of the mat with any restart. He is showing some real potential. Four in the semi's and hopefully we really do some wrestling and advance to the finals.

That was a bs call. Gets cross faced while his mouth is open, of course there's going to be some marks. He was going to upset #5 in the country with:20 left in the match and the ref took it from him

He's got a ton of upside. The kids has things that you can't teach, strength, quickness and heart. I'm excited to see him after a year or two in a college room.

I am super excited about him, sooooo much potential.

I see one row of teeth which is consistent with a crossface biting would show 2 rows. And Grey response wasn't what you usually see when a kid gets bit they usually jump back like WTF immediately

Exactly right. Whenever I've seen that happen the kid who got bit goes crazy. I'd like to give Burnett the benefit of the doubt, but that looked very iffy at best.
