Binghamton/Mountaineer Open

[KBratke]

It's a travel day for you Mountaineers! We'll hop on a bus shortly and head to New York for Sunday's Binghamton Open. We will have 20 attached wrestlers in action and two wrestlers going unattached.

We also have four wrestlers competing today at the Mountaineer Open hosted by Appalachian State. They are listed below and all going unattached.

141: Blake Boyers
157: Trey Johnson
174: Dylan Kohn
285: Tristan Kemp

Brackets for both the Mountaineer Open and the Binghamton Open will be on FloArena. However, the Binghamton Open will be live streamed on their clubs website right here: https://www.bearcatwrestlingclub.com/jo ... -open.html. I believe there is a $10 charge to watch.

We will also have live updates on our Twitter throughout the day. We hope you follow along! If not, I'll be back Monday with our complete results from both Opens.

Let's Go Mountaineers!

The results from the Appalachian State Open could be found on Flo.

141 Boyers: 0-2

157 Johnson: 0-2

174 Kohn: 0-2

285 Kemp: 2-1 RUNNER UP!!!!!!!

Note: 157 Johnson was listed in the brackets as G. Johnson. The team was cut off. I am taking upon myself that this was Trey Johnson.

This WVU team reminds me of the 1967 film "The Dirty Dozen". We got a dozen wrestlers (ten weight classes and a few do not have a solid starter) going into battle.

Disclaimer: This post isn't intended to be negative and I am not trying to hurt anybody's feelings. I am actually more excited this weekend because this situation is getting CRAZY!!!!!

Here is Kyle's list and keep in mind who won the wrestle offs:

You'll see 133 in action this weekend at the quad. Trey's first name is George, but he prefers Trey. Update with all of the results from this weekend coming soon!

Another solid weekend for the Mountaineers! Peyton Hall had a really impressive performance to win the Binghamton Open and eight other wrestlers finished in the top four. In my opinion, this was a step up in coemption from last week's Southeast Open and we still performed pretty well.

Again, this is one of the Open tournaments where you had to make the semifinals to wrestle for third.

Looks like iron is sharpening iron in the practice room. We have been discussing on this forum for a couple years the need for quality practice partners that are going to push each other. Looks like we are finally getting there!
