App. State Wrestling Posts Impressive SoCon Win at The Citadel
CHARLESTON, S.C. — In a showdown of teams that were top-three SoCon finishers a year ago, an App State Wrestling squad with five freshmen in its 10-man lineup recorded victories in the final nine matches to claim a 31-3 win at The Citadel on Sunday.
App State (2-2 overall, 2-0 SoCon) followed a league-opening win at VMI with another road victory, highlighted by No. 33 Carson Floyd’s 4-3 decision against No. 27 Patrick Brophy in a ranked battle at 197 pounds. Aldo Hernandez accounted for one of App State’s four major decisions in his first career dual start at 141, and fellow redshirt freshman Logan Eller also posted his first career dual win at 184.
No. 8 Will Miller took his first lead on a takedown with about a minute left in a 6-4 decision against Thomas Snipes at 165, and redshirt freshman Jeremiah Price bounced back from a recent 5-3 loss to Pitt transfer Tyler Badgett at the Southern Scuffle by winning a 5-2 decision over Badgett at 157. Kaden Keiser, meanwhile, won an 8-3 decision at 149 against Carson DesRosier, who entered the dual with a 14-3 record for the Bulldogs (3-2, 0-1).
The Mountaineers’ other victories were bonus-point results that came from Chad Bellis (11-1 major at 133), Luke Uliano (8-0 shutout at 174) and true freshman Stephan Monchery (11-3 major at heavyweight). Uliano led 1-0 entering the third period against Ben Haubert and rode out the final two minutes, producing near falls worth two and four points before earning a bonus point because of his riding time.
After they split two matches last season, Floyd turned defense into offense for a takedown and rideout with just under two minutes left in the first period against Brophy, who cut his deficit to 4-3 with a second-period takedown. With Floyd’s riding time at approximately 40 seconds entering the third, Brophy chose neutral instead of starting on bottom with a one-point deficit, and … more at … https://appstatesports.com/news/2025/1/12/wrestling-posts-impressive-socon-win-at-the-citadel.aspx
Wrestling grows at all levels, with USA Wrestling and high schools leading the way
By Gary Abbott’s List of Biggest Stories in 2024
During the pandemic, there was a big concern that wrestling, a combat sport which does not allow for social distancing, might take a big hit when the world was shut down. However, the absolute opposite has been the reality. Due to creative and aggressive health protocols for wrestling events, the sport bounced back quickly and is now in an impressive growth trend. In 2024, USA Wrestling set new records in membership, blowing past 300,000 members for the first time, with 334,494 at the end of the 2023-24 season. Female wrestling led the way with 30% growth during the year, but expansion happened across the board, in all age-levels, in every part of the country and for both males and females. This growth was also reflected at the high school level. According to the NFHS press release, “the two biggest story lines are the increases in all forms of high school football, and the continued rise in both girls and boys wrestling.” Girls wrestling is the fastest growing sport in the nation, hands-down, but boys wrestling is also growing quickly. The NFHS reported that boys wrestling grew by 32,443 athletes in 2023-24 and has had a 25% increase since the 2021-22 season. Entries for both boys and girls at major USA Wrestling events are also setting records. College wrestling is seeing the addition of new programs for men and women in all of the organizations (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, etc.). It has been said that we are in the golden era for wrestling in the United States and the data is proving this to be true. The mission for all leaders within wrestling is to fuel continued growth in strategic ways that brings the world’s greatest sport to even more people in the future. … more at … https://www.themat.com/news/2024/december/28/abbott-blog-top-10-wrestling-stories-of-2024
UNC’s Moore, NCSU’s Robinson Tabbed ACC Co-Wrestlers of the Week
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Following a top-5 win versus a top-10 team, North Carolina’s Spencer Moore and NC State’s Vince Robinson were named Atlantic Coast Conference Co-Wrestlers of the Week following matches from January 10-13.
In North Carolina’s ACC opener versus No. 8 Virginia Tech on Friday, January 10, No. 20 Moore picked up his first top-5 win of the season with a 4-1 sudden victory win over No. 4 Eddie Ventresca of Virginia Tech at 125 pounds. After Ventresca forced the match into sudden victory with an escape in the third period to tie the match at 1-1, Moore was able to secure a takedown with 39 seconds remaining in the overtime period for the decision.
The win was the first for the Tar Heels over the Hokies since the 2019-20 season and the first against Virginia Tech in Chapel Hill since the 2018-19 season.
NC State’s match at No. 3 Oklahoma State, which was moved to Monday, January 13, due to weather conditions, started with a win from Robinson at 125 pounds to put the No. 5 Wolfpack in front 3-0 in the match.

#8 Lander Dispatches Emmanuel, 41-6
FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – The eighth-ranked Lander Wrestling team won nine matches, all of which came via bonus point margins, en route to a dominating 41-6 win over the Emmanuel Lions on Wednesday evening inside the Shaw Athletic Center. The Bearcats won each of the nine contested matches, only giving up the six points via a forfeit at 133.
Lander improved to 9-3 overall on the season and a perfect 5-0 in Conference Carolinas competition. The Lions dropped to 2-3 overall with the same record in league play.
The match started at 149 where Garrett Wood (Fortson, Ga.) responded from a first-period deficit to earn a 20-12 major decision, giving the Bearcats a 4-0 lead. Noah Ruolo then used a 9-1 second period to grab a 16-3 major decision, doubling the lead to 8-0.
At 165, David Hunsberger (Duncan, S.C.) only needed 2:26 to earn a 17-1 tech fall to add five more points to the Lander total and Nathan Buckovich added five more with a tech fall of his own to make it 18-0, Lander, after four.
Anthony Giampeitro (Columbus, N.J.) then earned the only pin of the evening for the Blue and Gold, bringing Chase Bisel’s shoulders to the mat in 2:36, making it 24-0.

No. 6 Huskers Outlast No. 4 Gophers
The No. 6 Nebraska wrestling team took down No. 4 Minnesota behind the efforts of three upset victories for the Big Red, winning the dual 21-13. Head coach Mark Manning notched his 300th dual win at Nebraska, and the Huskers improved to 6-1 (1-0 Big Ten) while handing the Gophers (4-1, 0-1 Big Ten) their first loss of the season.
The Saturday afternoon crowd of 3,518 at the Devaney Center set the stage for the Big Ten home opener, and the Huskers came out on top in the top-10 matchup, taking seven of 10 bouts and three of four top-10 ranked individual matches.
Starting at 157, the Huskers’ fifth-ranked Antrell Taylor took on No. 10 Tommy Askey. The pair traded escapes in the first two periods, and went scoreless in the third to force overtime. Taylor took control quickly into the sudden victory period, and claimed the win with a takedown. The sophomore notched his 14th victory of the season, sixth ranked win, and three points for the Big Red. It was Askey’s first loss of the season.
Next, Christopher Minto faced No. 9 Andrew Sparks at 165. Minto struck first with a two-point reversal in the second period. Trailing in the third, Minto scored a takedown to take the lead at 5-4. He held that lead to the end of the period, scoring the second victory for Nebraska, and extending the overall lead to 6-0. The win was Minto’s 13th of the season, and the upset was the second of his career to topple a ranked opponent.
On the mat at 174 was No. 16 Lenny Pinto and Minnesota’s No. 24 Clayton Whiting. Two takedowns gave Pinto the 6-2 lead entering the second period. A penalty and escape in the third, along with riding time, gave Pinto the 9-3 decision. … more at … https://huskers.com/news/2025/01/11/no-6-huskers-outlast-no-4-gophers

Friday, Jan. 10: No. 4 Ohio State vs. No. 11 Illinois, 8 p.m. on BTN+
Ranked No. 4 in the country, the Buckeyes have nine wrestlers in the top 15 and are loaded with stars. Illinois, though, poses a sneaky challenge in this dual, as the Illini are favored in half of the projected bouts in this Big Ten battle. The home mat advantage in Illinois is notable here as well, particularly in a dual where every weight will matter.
If the dual begins 125 pounds, Ohio State will have the advantage at the start with No. 10 Brendan McCrone, a sophomore who has made big jumps this year but is fresh off a 6-5 loss to Maximo Renteria of Oregon State. This is one of just two weights where Illinois does not have a ranked wrestler, so McCrone’s job will be to go out and win with bonus to swing the momentum toward Ohio State before the top-10 battle at 133 pounds between No. 9 Nic Bouzakis and No. 2 Lucas Bryd.
Byrd and Bouzakis have not hit yet in their college wrestling careers because Byrd was out with an injury last season, but expect this match to be fast-paced and intense. Byrd is 9-0 on the year and heavily favored, but Bouzakis does have wins over All-Americans Dylan Ragusin and Anthony Noto this year with his only non-teammate loss coming against Cliff Keen champ Zeth Romney. There’s a path for both teams to win without the match, though the possibility becomes narrower for Illinois if Byrd drops to Bouzakis. Ohio State will then be favored at 141 pounds with No. 1 Jesse Mendez vs. No. 13 Danny Puncino, 157 pounds with No. 7 Paddy Gallagher vs. Jason Kraisser, … more at … https://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2025-01-09/5-college-wrestling-duals-watch-weekend
Eastern Guilford’s Maurice Atwood named National Wrestling Coach of the Year
This past season, Atwood led Eastern Guilford to its first NCHSAA 3A dual-team state championship in school history. The Wildcats were a perfect 48-0 during the 2023-2024 season.
Eastern Guilford wrestling coach Maurice Atwood received a national honor from the National Federation of State High School Associations on Monday.
Atwood, who has coached wrestling for 24 years, was named the NFHS Wrestling Coach of the Year. The award is for the 2023-2024 school year.
The award winner is chosen after each state association nominates a coach of the year. Then, sectional coaches of the year are named. Atwood has now been named the national coach of the year. “Maurice Atwood focuses on the fundamentals as he leads his athletes, most of whom are socioeconomically challenged and come into the program as freshmen without prior wrestling experience. The foundation that Atwood instills has led to many of his former athletes becoming successful coaches, including eight current high school or club coaches,” the NFHS said.
This past season, Atwood led Eastern Guilford to its first NCHSAA 3A dual-team state championship in school history. The Wildcats were a perfect 48-0 during the 2023-2024 season.
Over his 24-year career, Atwood’s teams have posted 865 dual-team wins, including 12 team state titles. A total of 39 individual wrestlers have also won state titles under Atwood’s guidance. … more at … https://www.highschoolot.com/story/eastern-guilford-s-maurice-atwood-named-national-wrestling-coach-of-the-year/21806459/
No. 13 Cyclones Top No. 22 Mountaineers on the Road
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – No. 13 Iowa State (5-3, 2-0 Big 12) stayed perfect in Big 12 dual action with a 24-18 victory over No. 22 West Virginia (7-2, 1-2 Big 12) Wednesday evening inside WVU Coliseum. Bonus points were the difference as the teams split the 10 bouts, 5-5.
Iowa State won the takedown battle, 17-12. Paniro Johnson and Cody Chittum both got pins for the Cyclones while Evan Frost notched a tech fall and Evan Bockman earned a major decision.
Evan Frost started the scoring with a commanding 20-3 tech fall over Tommy Maddox at 133 pounds. Frost tallied six takedowns in the win, including three in the opening period, as he improved to 6-2 on the season.
Jacob Frost made it back-to-back wins for the Frost family to open the dual. Jacob won by decision, 9-6, over No. 29 Jordan Titus at 141 pounds. Frost overcame an early takedown by Titus and fended off a last-ditch effort by the Mountaineer for the win.
Johnson and Chittum secured back-to-back falls for the Cyclones at 149 and 157 pounds, respectively, to put Iowa State ahead 20-0 after four matches. Johnson, in his first match of the season at 149 pounds, now has dual victories at 149, 157 and 165 pounds this season.
West Virginia got on the board with two-consecutive major decisions at 165 and 174 pounds. At 165, No. 3 Peyton Hall defeated Aiden Riggins, 16-6, in Riggins’ first match of the season at the weight. At 174 pounds, MJ Gaitan fell 14-4 to No. 28 Brody Conley. Gaitan was putting Conley on his back in the third period but the match was stopped due to a potentially dangerous hold.
In a top-20 battle at 184 pounds, No. 12 Evan Bockman was victorious against No. 16 Dennis Robin by 9-1 major decision. Bockman pushed for a bonus point and got it with a late takedown plus a riding time point. … more at … https://cyclones.com/news/2025/1/8/wrestling-no-13-cyclones-top-no-22-mountaineers-on-the-road.aspx
