The Hilltoppers scored a fall at 165 and a major decision at 174 to get within 18-13, but Heath Jolley had a methodical 9-3 triumph at 184 and Jarrett Edison made a first-period takedown stand up in a 3-2 win at 197 that clinched the dual.

Where did you find the Labette results?

Elliott, a junior college national champion last year who transferred to UCO at the semester break, continued his impressive start with a first-period fall over No. 7-ranked Matt Mossor. Elliott needed just 1:31 to dispose of Mossor and improve to 5-0 after going unbeaten in four matches at last weekend’s Lone Star Duals.

I am getting updates from someone at the tourney on the Labette results. The intermat site isn't keeping up with much other than the NCAAs. I am hoping they will update and try to get us some live scores tomorrow. I know they all wrestled well, Nassau is tough. They are currently #2 in NJCAA DIII (the non scholarship schools) and it sounds like they are better than that. I know Morgan won 4-2 and I think Yust was 5-3? Hynick looked tough at 49, and Ward is still coming on strong. Not sure on all the scores. It sounded like there were some "Unfortunate" calls, but they didn't affect any outcomes. About all I know...

Oh...

The commentators on the Live Sports Video webcast made note of K-States NWCA club team and the efforts to re-instate wrestling at K-State. They segued into the strength of Kansas wrestlers and the fact the state has produced a lot of great wrestlers. They made note of Melvin Douglas and attempted to recall his Olympic and World Championship accolades. They also noted Zach Robertson and his accolades as well as his current training to make the Olympic team.

It was nice to hear all of that on a broadcast of the NWCA National Duels!

Here are todays results and the most recent rankings of the wrestlers involved.

Ike,

So Labette DID win, right? I read your posts and called Jarrett and he says he talked to the Labette guys and they won two. Is that right?

Man, I must be getting old or something. I have been to mega
tournaments before but I could not keep up on my KS guys today. You have to know the location, the singlets and then guess the weights and all at the same time. I really couldn't keep up like I normally do. You already put the UCo stuff on and that I know well. I know some of the girl stuff but none of our KS girls were listed in the program and I didn't see any wrestle.

Newman did well. Curtis sat with me awhile and they look solid for tomorrow.

If anyone has anything specific they want to know...let me know and with a game plan I can be sure to watch the right mat at the right time.

Iowa spanked MO and put them to bed.

There were some upsets and some great wrestling. I am really glad I came.

Ms. Jenni

Yes Labette won. The big match up in my assessment is the semi's tomorrow vs. Iowa Central...winner takes the finals. I think we match up well with them. They are really strong in the lower wts...I wish they didn't start all the duels at 125. We are pretty solid at the low wts. too and the 141 pound freshmen Ward is really getting in a groove. Look for Labette to storm through the upper weights against Iowa Central. Hohensee (HWT) had a big win today over #4 from Nassau. It will be a great duel. I'm excited to see get any tidbits you can provide. I should have made the trip...Crazy matches all day long it looked like.

Another team with quite a few Kansans is Central MO State.

Labette has lost the first three

Majored at 125
133 was a good match. Berrens lost six to nine though.
141 Ward was pinned in a cradle....this hurts
149 in progress...

Edison got pinned late in third period by Marrs in the UNO vs. UCO duel and the heavy from UCO won. Final....25-13

Burns dec. Hynick (LAB)
Cornejo (LAB) lost 5-4
Morgan (LAB) lost 3-1
Yust (LAB) won 13-11
Enyobi (LAB) won by 1st period pin
Rencountre (LAB) won 13-7
Hohonesee (LAB) lost 4-1

It sounded like almost all of them looked flat as could be...and didn't wrestle with any urgency.

They are up with Harper right now. They better snap out of it or Harper will do the same.

They are covering the Labette vs. Harper Duel on live text from intermat. Aldridge got majored at 25. Berens is in control at 33.
