ES North wrestler Avia Bibeau’s dream of girls wrestling only girls in Pennsylvania still just that Bob Bibeau spread out cheerleading mats on the living room floor of the family’s Bushkill ranch home to teach his son, Robbie, basic wrestling moves. Bibeau and his wife, Ann-Marie, dragged daughters Avia and Andi to all of Robbie’s midget wrestling tournaments. Eventually, the two girls grew tired of gymnastics and cheerleading and being reduced to spectators as they spent their weekends sitting on uncomfortable gym bleachers. They wanted to do more with their time. They wanted to wrestle. “I made them a deal,” Bob Bibeau said. “I told them that I’d take them to a tournament at Warrior Run High School, we’d see how they do and take it from there.” Rest of the story at https://www.mcall.com/sports/varsity/wrestling/mc-spt-avia-bibeau-high-school-girls-wrestling-20191111-7c6xxfqa3fa2jgped7fhkvdd5u-story.html?mc_cid=8eac02cb54&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

‘A sport that’s like no other:’ Girls wrestling is 1 of the fastest growing sports in the Midwest
BURLINGTON — One of the fastest-growing sports for youth participation in the Midwest is wrestling, specifically girls wrestling. You’ll find some major stress relief inside a wrestling facility in Burlington on a random weeknight.
Ashton Cadman
“Wrestling is a sport that’s like no other,” said Ashton Cadman. “It’s coming into practice and knowing you get to beat on someone.” Cadman is one of the most decorated female wrestlers southeast Wisconsin has ever produced. She grew up on the mat and made it all the way to the Pan Am Games in Guatemala. Now a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she still loves being in the gym.

Army West Point Picks Up Two Dual Wins over Illinois and Chattanooga On the Road
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Army West Point wrestling team picked up two impressive dual wins Sunday, taking down Illinois 19-15 and following with a 18-12 victory over host Tennessee Chattanooga.  “Super proud of our guys,” said head coach Kevin Ward. “To go on the road and face some adversity like we did and get two wins over two very quality teams is something to enjoy. Being able to do it with two of our nationally ranked starters out of the lineup shows the depth of our team. It’s nice to get the wins, but I know we have a lot more we can do. We left a lot of points out there. We can perform much better than we did today. But no question, great team effort today and great wins.” Rest of the story at https://goarmywestpoint.com/news/2019/11/10/wrestling-picks-up-two-dual-wins-on-the-road.aspx?mc_cid=2c9f643a62&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

MAT TALK ONLINE – SHort Time Shots

Short Time Shots: 11-09-19
Ever go to a trampoline park? Yeah. You’ll feel it the next day. With a pretty good slate of college wrestling going on Saturday, I’m sure you’re going to feel it too. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from the world of wrestling.
Dual Meets: 
Most of the key action took place at the Northeast Duals, but before we get there, No. 15 Pittsburgh hosted Campbell in a dual where the Fighting Camels felt they had chance to pull the upset and potentially get ranked for the first time in school history. They’ll have to wait. The Panthers won eight of 10 bouts in a 28-6 win. There were notable individual matches, though as Pitt’s Micky Phillipi downed Noah Gonser 6-2 at 133, while freshman Cole Matthews pinned Josh Heil at 141 pounds. At 165, Pitt’s Jake Wentzel majored Quentin Perez, who was coming off a solid effort at the Southeast Open. Campbell did pick up one notable upset, as red hot Andrew Morgan beat Nino Bonaccorsi 11-8 at 184. Morgan fell behind early, but rallied with a second period reversal and set of four nearfall points to tie the match going into the third. He added an escape and another takedown to pull out the win. Demetrius Thomas of Pittsburgh topped Jere Heino 10-3 at 285. Wow, there was actually a lot more to that dual than the score indicates.
Now, we get to the Northeast Duals and I’m going to start off with the highest ranked dual between any teams in the mix, and that was in Division II where No. 2 St. Cloud State spanked No. 1 Pitt-Johnstown 31-6.

Short Time Shots: 11-11-19
November 11 is a day that’s extremely memorable for me and the career path I chose. You see, 11 years ago, Kyle Klingman and I kicked off our very first podcast, Wrestling 411. By the way, I’m Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. So back to the story – It was a J Robinson idea housed within a brand called Media Sports Productions, the acronym befitting its home base, Minneapolis. This was the gig I left Pennsylvania for. J Rob and Wade Schalles, wooed me over the phone from my newly purchased row home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I saw the pay increase, the chance to continue to further my goals in broadcasting and a chance to get a fresh start in a new area. Wade left shortly after Kyle arrived from Iowa and me from Pennsylvania. Ultimately, we got left holding the bag with little of the start-up money to work with and Kyle and I limped through a very tough year, one that put both of us at odds with one another and put both of our futures in the sport in doubt. Kyle and I talked about this a year ago, when we hit the 10-year anniversary of our foray into podcasting and failed television production. Our first guest was Tom Brands. The audio was terrible, our rapport wasn’t there and it might have been one of the worst shows either of us ever did. Even though I linked it here, don’t listen.
We sat at Augsburg’s KAUG radio studios – Kyle knew this was doomed from the start. I thought so to, only I held on to the illusion that we could actually pull this off.  Rest of the story and audio link at http://www.mattalkonline.com/podcast/shots/short-time-shots-11-11-19/?mc_cid=8eac02cb54&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
