He says OT would Help American Wrestlers. Has to go through Howle, Dake and Taylor, Then Burroughs ay 74 kilos, best 2 out of 3 and still must out perform him even after that to take his spot,,, but Nick does intend to drop to 159 anyway to help the US team.

When Chip Ness was in eighth-grade, the Buford wrestling team finished 36th at the traditional state tournament.

 

#For Ness, who was a highly decorated youth wrestler, it didn’t deter him from the school.

 

#He saw it as an opportunity.

 

#“The foundation was there,†Ness said. “We knew nothing starts off great. We built that long road from 35 places away.â€

 

#Ness, the Daily Post’s Wrestler of the Year, captured his fourth-straight state title this season and helped build Buford into a state championship program. The Wolves captured the Class AAA dual and traditional state crowns, the first in the program’s history.

 

“I wanted to build championships and you have to focus on what you want to do,†Ness said.

 

#All of those sacrifices paid off this season.

 

#Ness won the prestigious Super 32 preseason national tournament. He became the third Georgian to ever win the title and that catapulted him up the national rankings to No. 1.

 

#“Everything that leads to my high school national success comes down to this tournament,†Ness said. “I was able to win that and it sealed the deal of putting me at No. 1.â€

Peck Earns At-Large Bid to NCAA Tournament

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga freshman Dawson Peck grabbed an at-large bid to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships today.  Peck joins four other Mocs who earned automatic qualification at last weekend’s Southern Conference Tournament. 

Peck is a heavyweight from Chambersburg, Pa., who was an All-SoCon selection.  He stumbled to a fourth place finish at the SoCon Tournament, but qualified behind a strong 12-1 mark in the regular season.

“We are excited for Dawson,†stated UTC Head Coach Heath Eslinger.  “He had a disappointing conference tournament, but his performance during the year got him in.  That is why we wrestle such a tough schedule.  It gives our guys a chance to get in if they slip up in the league championships.â€

Peck was twice named the SoCon Wrestler of the Week during the month of February.  He won the honor Feb. 12-18 after going 2-0 at the NWCA National Duals.  There he scored an 8-2 decision against Ohio’s No. 20 Evan Knutson and pinned No. 16 Tyler Walz of Virginia Tech.  He repeated the honor Feb. 19-25 after pinning VMI’s Juan Adams in the regular season finale.

At 6-8, Peck is one of the tallest wrestlers to ever be listed on a Mocs roster.  He was redshirting as a true freshman with the Hokies, but transferred to UTC in January and was immediately eligible.  He was 8-2 as an unattached competitor last semester, including a win at the Hokie Open to start the season.  He replaced junior Kevin Malone who was lost for the season after an injury in the Stanford dual. 

Junior Nick Soto (133), Corey Mock (165) and Levi Clemons (174) all qualified for the NCAA Championships by winning SoCon titles at their respective weights.  Senior Alex Hudson also earned an automatic spot with a runner-up finished at 157. 

The NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships are set for March 20-22 in Oklahoma City, Okla.

What a sacrifice, What A Journey for his teammates and coach...

 

English's Video on the previous page is unforgettable (a must see for those disadvantaged and unranked taking on the elite)

 

149: James English (York, Pa.), Sr. - 18-7 overall ALL-AMERICAN - 7th Place

 

1st Rd: #12 Dyllan Cottrell, Appalachian State - W, 5-4 (TB) dec.

2nd Rd: #5 Jason Tsirtsis, Northwestern - L, 3-4 dec.

Con 2: Christian Barber, North Carolina - W, 3-1 dec.

Con 3: Ryan Lubeck, Wisconsin - W, 4-3 dec.

Rd 12: #10 Zach Niebert, Virginia Tech - W, 6-4 (sv) dec.

Con Qtr: #8 David Habat, Edinboro - LBF (4:52)

7th Place: #4 Kendric Maple, Oklahoma - W, 2-1 (TB) dec.

 

Senior James English (York, Pa.), unseeded at 149, made the most of his first match at the NCAA Championships. The Nittany Lion senior posted a thrilling 5-4 (TB) decision over No. 12 Dyllan Cottrell of Appalachian State, using a ride out and an escape to post the tie-breaker decision and move into the second round. English nearly notched his second straight win over a seeded foe in round two. He led late into the third period against No. 5 Jason Tsirtsis of Northwestern. But the Wildcat notched a late takedown and ride out to sneak away with a 4-3 win, sending English into consolation action Friday morning. English took on North Carolina's Christian Barber in the consolation second round. After a scoreless first period, English chose down escaped quickly to lead 1-0 after the second stanza. Barber took down and English made him pay with a two-point near fall, which would prove to be the difference in a 3-1 decision. English then faced Ryan Lubeck of Wisconsin in consolation round three and kept his All-America dreams alive with a rousing 4-3 win. English used a second period reversal to take a 4-2 lead and survived an illegal hold call in the third period as he rode Lubeck out to post the decision and move into Friday night's All-America round, the Round of 12.

 

English then became an All-American with a thrilling 6-4 (SV) win over No. 10 Zach Neibert of Virginia Tech in the round of 12. The Nittany Lion senior, who received a sixth year of eligibility due to injury and still missed most of this season coming back from an early season injury, took down Neibert early in the first period for a 2-0 lead but was reversed and went to the second period tied 2-2. English chose down to start the second period and Neibert controlled the action for most of the period. But English was able to reverse him in the final seconds and led 4-2 after two. Neibert chose down and escaped in the third and used the riding time point to send the match into sudden victory tied 4-4. The duo battled evenly for :55 seconds of the extra period when English turned a low single into a standing cradle and notched the winning takedown with just :01 on the clock. The victory made English Penn State's 184th All-American. A short time later in the consolation quarterfinals, English took on No. 8 David Habat of Edinboro. English battled Habat tough, leading throughout the bout off a first period takedown. But Habat turned English in the third period and got a fall at the 4:52 mark.

 

In Saturday morning's seventh-place bout, English battled No. 4 seed Kendric Maple of Oklahoma for seventh place on Saturday morning. With the team scored tied, English completed an epic and emotional story with a thrilling 2-1 (TB) win over the fourth seed. The duo traded escapes in the second and third period and went through a scoreless sudden victory stanza. English was down first in the tie-breaker session and escaped with :11 on the clock. With Maple down to end things, English was simply dominating on top, not giving Maple any room to move and riding him out for the duration. The 2-1 win gave the unseeded sixth-year senior the seventh place trophy and put his team back on top by one in a tight team race. English, who has missed two full seasons with injuries and was out most of this year due to an early season injury, went 5-2 in his first trip to the NCAA Championships and ends his Nittany Lion career as an All-American with an 18-7 record.

BTW... Michael Hooker lost a very close decision last season to senior Zach Niebert of VT!

 

Reposted to tie in with results above... Very inspirational! Without this big hearted young man overachieving, Cael Sanderson & Penn St fails to win their 4th NCAA Nat'l Championship...

    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
