Wolfpack Wrestling Looks to Pin the Blue Devils … LIVE BLOG FOR WRESTLING.

[SaccoV]

Come join the fun. ESPN3 is showing the match. I think the ACC app is also having a live feed but I’m not a fan of Swofford, so I choose the other Hole!!

[SaccoV]

133 lbs starts it off. Duke’s top dog is Connor Hartmann, ranked #5 at 197 lbs is going to be a very tough assignment for Michael Boykin (ranked #17). Join us as ESPN attempts to ruin yet another one of my loves by televising it with live broadcasters.

[SaccoV]

Like most people who don’t understand broadcasting a different sport, the action returns to the national anthem. Great work, Production Truck!! Pot up the cheerleaders!! Wait, there are no cheerleaders. It’s wrestling, you idiots!!

[SaccoV]

Duke will forfeit at 125 lbs, so State begins at 133 with a 6-0 lead. Jamal Morris gets the State nod at 133. He’ll have Brandon Leynaud.

[SaccoV]

Morris with an easy 4-1 lead off a takedown plus 2 back-point off a half-nelson.

[SaccoV]

Another 4-pt takedown + near-fall so 8-1 in the 1st as Morris controls.

[SaccoV]

Morris gets the pin on the cradle but time expired. Ref checks and confirms. Morris with the pin. State leads 12-0. 141 will be Kevin Jack (#3) vs. Zach Finesilver for Duke.

[SaccoV]

Jack gives up tough takedown on a scramble but escapes immediately. 2-1 Finesilver.

Period 1 ends with Finesilver leading 2-1 over Jack. Jack takes down in Period 2.

Reversal for Jack. 3-2 lead.

Tip o’ the Cap, Sacco.
I was too late to watch Amato wrestle, but I did see my former FB teammie, Tommy Higgins grapple.

Just wanted to give out a well deserved shout, as I’ve followed your interest in our what… Olympic sports as they say?

I, for one, appreciate.

Jack rides out Finesilver for the 2nd period. Up 3-2 with riding time point.

Yeah, I missed Turkay wrestle but saw lots of matches in the late 90s and Darrius Little was a wrestler I coached in high school. So, I live for these nights!!
