Junior Raymond Dunning (Nashville, Tenn.) won 141-pound title to lead the Adams State College wrestling team's effort at the 34th annual Cowboy Open hosted by the University of Wyoming. Dunning won the Elite Division title. Dunning who was ranked seventh in the NCAA Division II National Wrestling Coaches Association Preseason Rankings, went 4-0 on the day pinning Chadron State's Tony Arena in just one minute and 12 seconds before outscoring three Division I opponents by a 16-7 margin. His last victory was a 5-0 shutout of Nebraska senior Dominick Moyer, who has qualified for the last two NCAA Championships . Dunning also blanked Oregon senior Justin Pearch by a 3-0 count in the quarterfinals before claiming a tight 8-7 semifinal win over Northern Colorado's Kenny Hashimoto.

Big wins for Raymond there. Moyer is definitely a quality opponent and to win that one 5-0 shows Raymond must have dominated most positions on the mat... heck he didn't even give up an escape.

 

Speaking of former TN champs....

 

Nic Marable won the Central Missouri open this past saturday going 6-0 in the tournament and Nic Bundy placed second at an invitational tournament in Pennsylvania last week!

 

Now all Nick needs to do it get out from underneath Michael Chandler! Would be nice to see him starting this year but don't know if it will happen.

 

Glad to hear Bundy is finding his place as well! I definitely have to wonder if the TN (or maybe it is just Nashville) pipeline to West Point will continue this year. Do we have any kids that are looking at that route?

I knew about John Michael but I really thought Mark was a freshman this year... guess I am trying to get him into high school so everyone can see him. So that doesn't answer the question of whether or not John Michael is looking at West Point or not. That is an extremely big decision and it is not a school one is likely to attend because your older brothers did (at least as compared to many DI Universities).

Only time will tell if John Michael is ask to make his home @ the United States Military Academy.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
