SOUTHERN SCUFFLE NOTES TO KNOW

This is the 10th year of the Southern Scuffle. It was held in Greensboro, N.C. from 2003-10 and moved to Chattanooga last year.
Records do not show a Southern Scuffle in 2011, but the event did not skip a season. The 2010 tournament was held in late December while the 2012 event was Jan. 1-2.
Only four different teams have won the Southern Scuffle, including Cornell (2008, 2009 & 2010 (tie)), Minnesota (2004, 2005 & 2007), Missouri (2003 & 2006) and Penn State (2010 (tie) & 2012).
There are seven former Southern Scuffle Individual Champions in the field, including Cornell's Kyle Dake ('12-157, '10-149, '09-141), Minnesota's Chris Dardanes (133) and Tony Nelson (285), Missouri's Brent Hayes (197) and Penn State's David Taylor ('12-165, '10-157), Ed Ruth ('10 & '12-174) and Quentin Wright ('12-184).
There are seven NCAA Champions also in the field, including Cornell's Steven Bosak (184) and Kyle Dake ('12-157, '11-149, '10 141), Minnesota's Tony Nelson (285), Oklahoma State's Jordan Oliver (141) and Penn State's Ed Ruth (174), David Taylor (165) and Quentin Wright ('11-184).
There are two weight classes that feature a pair of NCAA Champions and could shape up to be the marquee matches of the collegiate season to date. Penn State junior David Taylor and Cornell senior Kyle Dake are both competing at 165. Taylor went undefeated at 165 last season, winning the NCAA title. Dake has won three NCAA Championships in three different weight classes, including last year's title at 157. Penn State junior Ed Ruth and Cornell senior Steve Bosak are both competing at 184. Bosak won the NCAA Championship at 184 last season. Ruth has moved up after claiming the 174 national crown in 2012.

Only 10 members on each team can score point's , not 16 .

Indirectly, those guys(the non scoring wrestlers) prevent other teams from scoring points by winning - so it does have a significant impact.

Trackwrestling is showing 16 guys scoring for Oklahoma State and 17 guys for Penn State, Minnesota is recording 18 guys scoring points

This is from the Penn State website - Penn State sent a total of 17 wrestlers into action at the Scuffle (15 scoring and two unattached).

No. 1 Penn State in First After Day One of 2013 Southern Scuffle

Lions tally 11 pins on day one in Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.; January 1, 2013 – The Penn State Nittany Lion wrestling team, ranked No. 1 in the latest Intermat TPI, used 11 pins to leap into the lead after the first day of the 2013 Southern Scuffle. Head coach Cael Sanderson’s won 43 bouts on the day, 24 by bonus, and advanced six wrestlers into tomorrow’s semifinals.

Penn State sent a total of 17 wrestlers into action at the Scuffle (15 scoring and two unattached). Heading into day two, 15 of those 17 wrestlers remain alive as the Nittany Lions look to claim their third straight Scuffle title. Penn State is in first with 102.0 points, followed by Minnesota in second with 94.0 and Oklahoma State in third with 89.5
The Nittany Lions entered the tournament with nine seeded wrestlers plus an unattached grappler being seeded. All-American Nico Megaludis (Murrysville, Pa.) was the top seed at 125, senior James English (York, Pa.) was the 10th-seed at 149, junior James Vollrath (Richboro, Pa.) was the 5th-seed at 157 and All-American David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio) was the 2nd-seed at 165.

Sophomore Matt Brown (West Valley City, Utah) was the 3rd-seed at 174, All-American Ed Ruth (Harrisburg, Pa.) was the top-seed at 184, All-American Quentin Wright (Wingate, Pa.) was the top-seed at 197, sophomore Jimmy Lawson (Tom’s River, N.J.) was the 6th-seed at 285 and classmate Jon Gingrich (Wingate, Pa.) was the 7th-seed at 285. True freshman Jimmy Gulibon (Latrobe, Pa.), wrestling unattached at 133, was the 6th-seed.

Penn State opened the tournament in outstanding fashion, posting a nearly perfect mark through the first round. With Megaludis and starting 133-pounder Jordan Conaway (Abbottstown, Pa.) getting byes, Penn State still racked up big wins. Ten of Penn State’s first round wins were of the bonus point variety. The Nittany Lions’ two unattached wrestlers, true freshmen Gulibon and Zack Beitz (Mifflintown, Pa.) went 2-0 as well with Gulibon posting a tech fall. Overall, all 15 Nittany Lions (including Gulibon and Beitz) went 15-1 with six pins, two techs and three majors.

The Nittany Lions then put together a strong second round, pushing a total of 12 wrestlers through to the quarterfinals (11 attached and one unattached). Penn State entered the quarterfinals with a 28-5 overall mark with nine pins, three techs and five majors.

Megaludis was first up for Penn State at 125. Ranked No. 2 nationally, Megaludis made short work of American’s David Terao, rolling to a 9-3 win. The Lion went 2-0 on the day and will wrestle in tomorrow’s semifinals. At 133, Conaway nearly upset No. 16 George DiCamillo of Virginia, just missing out on a late takedown before losing 6-5. Conaway went 1-1 in day one and wrestles in consolations tomorrow. Gulibon dropped a 9-5 decision to #7 Jon Morrison of Oklahoma State. Gulibon went 2-1 with two tech falls and wrestles in consolations tomorrow.

English took on No. 1 Jordan Oliver of Oklahoma State and dropped a tough 12-6 decision. English was 2-1 on the day with a pin and is in action tomorrow in consolations. Red-shirt freshman Luke Frey (Montoursville, Pa.) battled No. 2 Dylan Ness of Minnesota tough as well, losing 9-4. Frey is also 2-1 with two majors and in action tomorrow.
