SWINfan Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) McKenna is really good with the hands... both setting up his shots and preventing shots Crazy scramble there.... Thought Yianni could have gotten the TD but not swipes for points. Call and review says no TD and no points for either Edited March 24, 2019 by SWINfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Not sure Yanni realizes he was given 2 near the end of regulation. Dove off of McKenna when it seemed like he had his legs in enough to hold on. Edited March 24, 2019 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yianni gets the TD off the scramble in SV! He's just so good at scrambling and turning crazy spots into points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 At least they let it get decided by clear cut takedown in OT. I’d rather see it end like that than some iffy call/no-call at time runs out. SWINfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be.... I was surprised at how much Hall dominated their meeting earlier this year. Don't expect the same tonight. Can’t blame that on Suriano. Fix backed up the whole time and was lucky to have had a couple more stalls called on him. Then Coach Smith was looking at every angle to get a cheap win.

SWINfan Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Stepped away for a second. How did Jordan get a point in the 1st period with both still neutral? Hands to the face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Worth noting Ashnault was lucky to get this extra medical year based on previous injuries cutting some previous seasons short. Glad he’s able to make the most of it. 1prouddad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and gaining a nice crop of newcomers that have been in PA this year working out, but not yet enrolled..... Aaron Brooks, Michael Beard, Seth Nevills, Joe Lee along with recruits Stariocci and Howard. Also, Kyle Conel from Kent St is seeking a 6th year and is planning on going to Penn State if he gets it. And most thought they were dead with the departure of Taylor and Ruth.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that still a younger group with some college growing pains to get through even if they are at the penn state talent level. It will be interesting where they put some people and who ends up with a regular redshirt. But if it doesn’t all fall into place with the extra year guys, a down year for PSU at this point is still likely a top 5 finish.

We'll see how it plays out, but I'll be shocked if they finish outside the Top 3 unless they don't get the 6th years and Hall, Lee and someone else redshirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say Hall and Manville (Greco) likely gets one, but Lee may have to finish decently high in this years Senior Trials to get his. Love to see him advance far at the senior level, but I’m not sure where the new line is to get the Olympic year. However, if it helps him and Joe get a year to together on the PSU starting lineup I’d be all for it. Edited March 24, 2019 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Lewis was a junior world champ, but most wrestling fans didn’t know his name until this weekends. He ran through all the top guys in his bracket (Marinelli, Wick, Joseph) and earned the title. On a side note he only beat Cael McCormick 4-1. So in retrospect a decent showing by the Golden Knight and Yorktown grad. Edited March 24, 2019 by MattM SWINfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
