Appalachian State Wrestling Announces 2024-25 Schedule, Season Ticket Details

BOONE, N.C. — With several high-profile opponents set to visit Varsity Gym, which has been upgraded via seating and visual enhancements for the 2024-25 season, App State Wrestling announced its complete schedule and season ticket availability Tuesday.  
The Mountaineers’ home schedule includes visits from nonconference foes West Virginia (on Nov. 22, a Friday night before a Nov. 23 home football game against James Madison), Virginia Tech (Sunday, Jan. 19) and Duke (Monday, Jan. 20) as well as SoCon counterparts Chattanooga (Sunday, Feb. 9) and Campbell (Sunday, Feb. 23).
Counting two Saturday tournaments and seven duals, there are nine home events on the schedule for App State, which closed last season with a SoCon Championship tournament title and a No. 24 national ranking.  
General admission season tickets with seating on the familiar sets of sideline bleachers are available for the low cost of $70 for the nine home events. For faculty/staff, the discounted price is $60.
New endline seating, facing the new competition mat and the Varsity Gym scoreboard, will be in place as a premium seating option for the 2024-25 season.
A season ticket in the Premium Gold section — which has a reserved seat that includes a seatback, a cupholder and more leg room than a traditional bleacher seat — costs $100. A season ticket in the Premium Black section, which is a general admission seat (that also has a seatback) within the Premium area, outside of the Premium Gold seats, costs $85.
Single-match tickets will go on sale at a later date, with the matches against West Virginia, Virginia Tech and Campbell serving as Varsity Plus duals, so the best value for App State Wrestling fans is purchasing a season ticket.
This season, home duals will be streamed live on FloWrestling, which has a subscription model.
The Mountaineers’ schedule begins Nov. 3 with a tournament appearance at the Battle at The Citadel, and App State will host the Mountaineer Invitational the following Saturday. The dual schedule begins Friday night, Nov. 15 at NC State. … more at … https://appstatesports.com/news/2024/9/10/-24-wrestling-app-state-wrestling-announces-schedule-season-ticket-details-for-2024-25.aspx

Adams, Barket & Console Tabbed Duke University Captains for 2024-25

DURHAM, N.C. — The 2024-25 Duke wrestling team will feature a trio of captains – sophomore Raymond Adams, redshirt sophomore Connor Barket and redshirt sophomore Gaetano Console – as announced Thursday by Blue Devil head coach Glen Lanham.   
It marks the second straight season that Barket and Console will serve as captains. Adams, a product of Merrick, New York, is coming off a freshman campaign where he competed in 17 dual matches and posted five overall wins at 133 pounds.  He closed the regular season with his lone ACC victory at North Carolina and also collected a pair of wins at the Southern Scuffle. 
Coming off a season where he led the Blue Devils with 16 victories at heavyweight, Barket looks to build on a solid first full season for Duke.  Barket, who hails from West Lafayette, Indiana, closed the 2024 regular season by winning three out of his final four matches against North Carolina, NC State and Pitt.  He also had a stretch where he won seven out of eight matches during the middle of the season as well.  Over the summer, Barket turned in fifth place finishes at the U-23 Nationals and the U.S. Open Wrestling Championships.
A native of Barrington Hills, Illinois, Console has notched 14 victories over the last two seasons.  He totaled nine wins a season ago, including four at the annual Keystone Classic.  Console saw action at 165-pounds for most of the season before moving up to compete … more at … https://goduke.com/news/2024/9/5/wrestling-adams-barkett-console-tabbed-captains-for-2024-25.aspx
