soms2 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 From Chattanoogan… Palmer Advances To Semis In Southern Scuffle Wrestling Sunday, January 1, 2023 Day one is in the books for the Southern Scuffle, presented by Compound Sportswear. McKenzie Arena was treated with high drama and a fantastic performance from sophomore Brayden Palmer. Palmer marched to the semifinals with three wins. He opened with a dominating 8-0 major decision over Maryland’s Connor Quinn. The round of 16 matchup with McGwire Midkiff was a little more dramatic. The 3-1 win was clinched in the first period with a takedown. Both wrestlers escaped from the down position in the second and third periods as Palmer thwarted every Bison attempt in the third. The quarterfinals saw No. 16 Ramazan Attasauov of Iowa State in the crosshairs. He went up 4-2 before a late Palmer takedown sent it to the third knotted 4-all. Palmer escaped 19 seconds into the period for the 5-4 lead and then this happened with 0:06 left for the 7-4 decision. "It's a big deal," Coach Kyle Ruschell began. "Anytime we get somebody in the semifinals is good. Brayden is really hard to finish on. He's really good and can do some special things." Logan Andrew made sure his 133 would not be lonely on Monday. He claimed a takedown with 10 seconds to go against Little Rock’s Apollo Gothard in the fourth round of consolations to advance to day two. He lost his round of 16 match in overtime before a strong 6-2 decision over Jake Andrews (CSU Bakersfield) in his first wrestle back. "He's figuring out how to be a heavyweight," Ruschell added. "He who went from 97 took all year last year off. He had about 10 matches at the weight class coming in, so he's figuring out how to wrestle heavyweight." Palmer takes the mat for the semifinals against Minnesota’s Aaron Nagao which starts at 1 p.m., Monday, with the 125 class. Andrew is on the docket after the restart for the fifth round of consolations against Stanford’s Peter Ming opening the day at 11 a.m. Follow @LetsScuffle and @UTCWrestling on Twitter for updates.

Maybe Brayden Palmer just needs a little jolt from time to time. In both his quarterfinal and semifinal matches at the 2023 Southern Scuffle at McKenzie Arena, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior 133-pounder quickly fell behind due to takedowns, yet in both cases rallied back to claim victories over ranked opponents to advance to the championship round. That made him only the second Mocs wrestler in school history to do so and the first to advance to the final at the prestigious in-season tournament since Nick Soto in 2012. "I don't know if falling behind angers me. I feel like sometimes I start a little bit slow in tournaments," Palmer said Monday. "I always kind of wrestle worse than normal." Similar to his wrestling style, Palmer had a slow start to his college career, which started at Clarion, a Division I program in Pennsylvania. In two years there he saw action in just nine matches before deciding to transfer to UTC, which is closer to his hometown of Hendersonville. That's probably why it took a while for him to realize he had the potential to be pretty good at the sport in college, with last season's Scuffle being the turning point. He also said that he had needed to change "some lifestyle habits." It's safe to say, that's happened. "I'd lost the first match here a year ago and I was afraid I'd go 0-2, and I didn't want to do that," Palmer said. "Then I got the first one, then I got three or four (straight wins) and I was like, 'Alright, I can do this at this level. "At the beginning of last season, I would kind of freak out a little bit, but I've learned over the last year that no matter what, I'm just going to stay calm and keep wrestling and this stuff will happen." After that opening round loss last year, Palmer won seven consecutive matches to take third in his weight class. He then added four more wins for a streak of 11 consecutive victories over two years at the Scuffle prior to his 7-3 loss in Monday's championship round to nationally second-ranked and three-time All-American and NCAA runner-up Daton Fix from Oklahoma State. But the run included consecutive ranked victories for the 27th-ranked Palmer, who defeated 16th-ranked Ramazan Attasauov of Iowa State and Minnesota's Aaron Nagao, who is ranked 21st. UTC head coach Kyle Ruschell was slightly disappointed he didn't have more team members still wrestling Monday -- he entered the day with just two wrestlers remaining, with 285-pounder Logan Andrew winning two consolation matches Sunday before being eliminated Monday morning -- but is pleased by the progress and the performance of Palmer. "Anytime that Chattanooga singlet is out there in the finals, it's good, right?" Ruschell said. "Especially in our home tournament. Brayden can do special things, and when everything's right, he can do stuff like that. He's hard to score on and guys know that; he can make a couple of mistakes and still win, so I'm proud of him. "It's his world, man. I knew he had some gifts when he got here, but the way he watches his weight, to his expectation of being an All-American or a national champion, it's real. It's not something he's saying." Contact Gene Henley at ghenley@timesfreepress.com.

JEFF BIRCHFIELD/JOHNSON CITY PRESS Science Hill's Keimel Redford tries to get the upper hand against Pigeon Forge's Caleb Wolfe in Saturday's heavyweight championship match. JEFF BIRCHFIELD/JOHNSON CITY PRESS JOHNSON CITY — Science Hill had six boys reach the finals and three earn championships in their weight classes at the 23rd annual Fandetti-Richardson Brawl. Devon Medina, one of four Science Hill seniors to reach the finals, repeated as 195-pound champion of the home wrestling meet with an exciting sudden victory over Bryce Gadson of North Carolina's Cox Mill. Medina gutted out the 5-3 win despite being pushed around much of the match by Gadson, an explosive grappler with speed and power. Medina said at the end, it came down to what his family and coaches preached. “He was 100% one of the toughest guys I’ve ever faced. He was so strong,” Medina said. “My dad and Coach (Jimmy) Miller always say to have more heart than the other wrestler. I was exhausted. My lungs were going out, my heart was racing and my body was on fire.” Junior Stiles Miller, who competes at 113, and freshman Chase Smalling (120) also won individual championships. The Hilltoppers tied for second with South Carolina's Fort Mill with 136 points. Lakeway Christian took the team title with 158.5 points. In the 120 final, Stiles pinned Jacob Nally from Fort Mill at 3:38 of the first period. Stiles also reached a milestone with his 100th career win earlier in the day. Like his teammates who reached the mark, Stiles will be awarded pink laces for his wrestling shoes to celebrate the achievement. Stiles and Smalling shared the most outstanding wrestler award for the lower weights. “We had six in the finals, won three and lost three,” Coach Miller said. “Stiles started us off at 113 and ran through the tournament pretty good. He had a tough match getting out of the pool, but we wrestled the kid from Fort Mill a month ago. He won then and won today with a good scramble.” Smalling captured a hard-fought 13-10 decision over Cole Gumlick of Lakeway Christian in the 120 final. The freshman is 33-1 on the season and has the Science Hill coaches excited about how good he can become. “Chase has great offense on his feet and he’s very aware of where he’s at,” Coach Miller said. “I can’t ask for nothing better from that kid. He’s going to find his way on the podium.” Three other Science Hill wrestlers reached the finals. All three lost to Pigeon Forge grapplers. Pigeon Forge's Wyatt Howard pinned Jamie Beck in 2:57, Herbert Little pinned Perry Tate in 3:49 and Caleb Williams scored an 11-0 major decision over Keimel Redford. GIRLS COMPETITION Alex Costello pinned Delaney Nichols of Gibbs to win the girls’ 120 class. Sawyer Ward reached the final at 138 where she lost a 3-0 decision to Baylor's Paraskevi Christopolos. Kay’a Robinson was runner-up at 152, losing a pinfall to Krickett Jones from Karns. Other local champions were West Ridge's Angel Coger, who captured first place at 165, and Greeneville's Jenna Baines at 107. THE TRADITION CONTINUES The wrestling meet continues to bring out fields of strong fields of teams and grapplers in its 23rd year. It’s also a time to celebrate the memories of fallen wrestlers Scott Fandetti, Todd Richardson and Scott Moffat. “We lost a few teams with the weather, but we had some great matches, great finals,” Miller said. “It gets better and better. We work months to go out find the teams and who the best teams are. We just keep wrestling.” The Kingsport Times News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soms2 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Matthew Waddell made it three falls in a row in duals for the Chattanooga Mocs at 184. RESULTS CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs battled 24th-ranked West Virginia toe-to-toe for 70-plus minutes but fell 22-16. The match featured both dominant and gritty performances on both sides ending with a dramatic finish. "There are no moral victories," Coach Kyle Ruschell shared afterwards. "We told them that if they don't think that what we're working on is happening, you're crazy, because we're seeing more aggression, we're seeing better hand fighting, more leg attacks, a little bit better job on top…we're seeing all of those things. "We just need to continue to do that for the next 60 days." The Mocs return to Maclellan Gym next Saturday hosting Davidson. The match is scheduled for a 7 p.m., start. WEIGHT-BY-WEIGHT 157: 0-3 Lincoln Heck and No. 29 Alex Hornfeck battled for the full seven minutes with the Mountaineer getting the 3-2 win. Heck got the lone takedown of the match with seven seconds left in the second period but took a locked hands penalty before the buzzer. Hornfeck got two escapes for the win. 165: 0-9 #12 Peyton Hall and Thomas Sell had a spirited first period before the Mountaineer got Sell into a bad position in the second and finished the fall at 4:50. 174: 4-9 It was all Rocky Jordan in this one almost owning 7:00 in riding time. He claimed a 9-0 major over Scott Joll with constant pressure. Note: Jordan now has out-scored opponents 99-12 in 10 duals 184: 10-9 In the lone ranked matchup of the night & rematch from last year, No. 33 Matthew Waddell stole the show. He used a standing reversal straight on the back of No. 30 Anthony Carman for the fall at 4:03. Note: Three straight pins in duals for Waddell 197: 13-9 Jake Boyd used all the time available for a 3-2 TB win over Ian Bush. Both wrestlers managed just escapes throughout the 10 minutes with a near takedown into fall position by Boyd in the first only to see Bush sneak away. The tiebreaker round saw Boyd out in two seconds while riding Bush for 13 seconds to net the point and win. Note: Now 4-2 with the match score ending within two points. 285: 13-12 No. 28 Michael Wolfgram dominated the early going of the match before Andrew used a late takedown in the second and quick escape in the third to make it interesting at 11-7. He nearly combined a takedown into fall points, but Wolfgram out-wrestled him to get the two points and held on for 13-8 victory. 125: 13-16 No. 7 Killian Cardinale got a 10-2 major over Dom DiTomasso. He built it methodically with half of his scoring coming in the third. 133: 16-16 Brayden Palmer knotted the dual score with a 7-3 win. His 4-point near fall early in the third period was the difference. Note: Palmer won nine of his last 10 matches 141: 16-19 Dayne Dalrymple got the start against Jordan Titus who was coming off a weekend win over then No. 1 Cole Matthews of Pitt. Dalrymple battled but couldn't find his offense in a 6-2 decision loss. 149: 16-22 Grant Lundy trailed No. 28 Sam Hillegas 8-2 in the second period when he got a takedown midway through to get a spark. He was down in riding time so he needed a special third. Lundy out-scored his ranked opponent 6-3 working Hillegas to the end but ran out of time as Hillegas literally held on in the final seconds for the 12-10 win. #24 West Virginia 22, Chattanooga 16 157: 157: Alex Hornfeck (WVU) 3-2 dec over Lincoln Heck (CHAT) – 0-3 165: Peyton Hall (WVU) fall (4:50) over Thomas Sell (CHAT) – 0-6 174: Rocky Jordan (CHAT) 9-0 maj. dec. over Scott Joll (WVU) – 4-9 184: Matthew Waddell (CHAT) fall (4:03) over Anthony Carman (WVU) – 10-9 197: Jake Boyd (CHAT) 3-2 dec.

Whenever i stand up from on bottom, I kind of leave it in their hands. If they want to just give me the point, that's fine. I'll take the point, but they want to stand there and wrestle, I have a few moves in there that I can really hurt him quick. (He smiled) So I don't like wrestling the whole time." – MatthewWaddell on his third straight pin in dual action "Matt's did a great job of getting to offense right away with that shot tonight. I don't know if I've seen that shot in the first period all year, and so you can see his development as well. The pins are always there for him, he's always had that where a pen can happen, but the other little things the takedowns in the first period, the mat returns, that's the stuff that he needs to do to get over the next hump." – Kyle Ruschell on Waddell's work over the last three duals NEXT 3 MATCHES Jan. 21: Davidson, 7 p.m. Jan. 27: at Presbyterian, 6 p.m. Jan. 29: at The Citadel, 2 p.m. gomocs.com ———————— A great concept IF your local media will do it… Gwinnett Takedown Club honors county's best wrestlers from December From Staff Reports 12 hrs ago Archer's Max Hennebaul, left, wrestles Brookwood's Jacob Chan in the 106-pound finals of the Gwinnett County tournament at Parkview on Dec. 22, 2022.

"We just need to continue to do that for the next 60 days." The Mocs return to Maclellan Gym next Saturday hosting Davidson. The match is scheduled for a 7 p.m., start. WEIGHT-BY-WEIGHT 157: 0-3 Lincoln Heck and No. 29 Alex Hornfeck battled for the full seven minutes with the Mountaineer getting the 3-2 win. Heck got the lone takedown of the match with seven seconds left in the second period but took a locked hands penalty before the buzzer. Hornfeck got two escapes for the win. 165: 0-9 #12 Peyton Hall and Thomas Sell had a spirited first period before the Mountaineer got Sell into a bad position in the second and finished the fall at 4:50. 174: 4-9 It was all Rocky Jordan in this one almost owning 7:00 in riding time. He claimed a 9-0 major over Scott Joll with constant pressure. Note: Jordan now has out-scored opponents 99-12 in 10 duals 184: 10-9 In the lone ranked matchup of the night & rematch from last year, No. 33 Matthew Waddell stole the show. He used a standing reversal straight on the back of No. 30 Anthony Carman for the fall at 4:03. Note: Three straight pins in duals for Waddell 197: 13-9 Jake Boyd used all the time available for a 3-2 TB win over Ian Bush. Both wrestlers managed just escapes throughout the 10 minutes with a near takedown into fall position by Boyd in the first only to see Bush sneak away. The tiebreaker round saw Boyd out in two seconds while riding Bush for 13 seconds to net the point and win. Note: Now 4-2 with the match score ending within two points. 285: 13-12 No. 28 Michael Wolfgram dominated the early going of the match before Andrew used a late takedown in the second and quick escape in the third to make it interesting at 11-7. He nearly combined a takedown into fall points, but Wolfgram out-wrestled him to get the two points and held on for 13-8 victory. 125: 13-16 No. 7 Killian Cardinale got a 10-2 major over Dom DiTomasso. He built it methodically with half of his scoring coming in the third. 133: 16-16 Brayden Palmer knotted the dual score with a 7-3 win. His 4-point near fall early in the third period was the difference. Note: Palmer won nine of his last 10 matches 141: 16-19 Dayne Dalrymple got the start against Jordan Titus who was coming off a weekend win over then No. 1 Cole Matthews of Pitt. Dalrymple battled but couldn't find his offense in a 6-2 decision loss. 149: 16-22 Grant Lundy trailed No. 28 Sam Hillegas 8-2 in the second period when he got a takedown midway through to get a spark. He was down in riding time so he needed a special third. Lundy out-scored his ranked opponent 6-3 working Hillegas to the end but ran out of time as Hillegas literally held on in the final seconds for the 12-10 win. #24 West Virginia 22, Chattanooga 16 157: 157: Alex Hornfeck (WVU) 3-2 dec over Lincoln Heck (CHAT) – 0-3 165: Peyton Hall (WVU) fall (4:50) over Thomas Sell (CHAT) – 0-6 174: Rocky Jordan (CHAT) 9-0 maj. dec. over Scott Joll (WVU) – 4-9 184: Matthew Waddell (CHAT) fall (4:03) over Anthony Carman (WVU) – 10-9 197: Jake Boyd (CHAT) 3-2 dec.

Whenever i stand up from on bottom, I kind of leave it in their hands. If they want to just give me the point, that's fine. I'll take the point, but they want to stand there and wrestle, I have a few moves in there that I can really hurt him quick. (He smiled) So I don't like wrestling the whole time." – MatthewWaddell on his third straight pin in dual action "Matt's did a great job of getting to offense right away with that shot tonight. I don't know if I've seen that shot in the first period all year, and so you can see his development as well. The pins are always there for him, he's always had that where a pen can happen, but the other little things the takedowns in the first period, the mat returns, that's the stuff that he needs to do to get over the next hump." – Kyle Ruschell on Waddell's work over the last three duals NEXT 3 MATCHES Jan. 21: Davidson, 7 p.m. Jan. 27: at Presbyterian, 6 p.m. Jan. 29: at The Citadel, 2 p.m. gomocs.com ———————— A great concept IF your local media will do it… Gwinnett Takedown Club honors county's best wrestlers from December From Staff Reports 12 hrs ago Archer's Max Hennebaul, left, wrestles Brookwood's Jacob Chan in the 106-pound finals of the Gwinnett County tournament at Parkview on Dec. 22, 2022.
