Not sure if it's been discussed but Crookham out for the year with torn labrum. Crookham's father has been on Santoro and the Lehigh staff is tired of fathers actions and complaints. I was told he may never wrestle again for Lehigh because of the situation. He has 3 years of eligibility.
3 years left? I know this isn't the time to argue this, but he is in year 4 at Lehigh. He would be a 7-yr student athlete if he had 3 to go. That does not include a covid year (he enrolled after covid). Surely you jest.

Time for some Levi. Hand fighting & tying up in the center. Levi reaches for a leg, but Sadriddinov circles away. Levi gets to the leg & then gets the other for the TD, 3-0.

He keeps working & finishes another TD, 6-1. Levi figure-4s the leg, then switches to the bow & arrow. Sadriddinov works to his feet, but Levi torques him back down. Levi has the bow & arrow locked up now & is getting swipes. This is so pretty to see! LEVI gets the FALL with the bow & arrow! Huzzah!!!

RS 17, did you get that rumor from Pat Mineo's Facebook page? There is no evidence of a ban or an end to Ryan's Lehigh career due to his father's actions or complaints
You need some reading comprehension. I was responding to someone and made a joke about hurt wrestlers and Iowa. Also the guy who did make the comment is locked in the Lehigh Valley.

Yep i think this puppy is going to be bigger than normal shes only 7 months but almost as big as the adults. They are a little too smart in my opinion like the malinois i had that died this year. She figures **** out like fences and kennels and door knobs shes a demon just looks like a shepherd lol

Someone tell Byers that there are three takedowns against PSU. Not 1 like he mentioned a few times. 141. 149. 165. Hard to believe that Lehigh has more takedowns than Iowa has had in years

Yes what a disappointment a 3X AA would be.
It’s about maximizing your opportunities. Winning matches 4-2 against wrestlers you are clearly better than is not the PSU way. Are you an Iowa fan?
