---------------------------------------------------------------------------
157: Vitale had 4 Tds, escape and 1:46 riding time. At least two of his  takedowns were actually orthodox ones!

165: Yegge, despite being injured for large chunks of the last two years, is  one of Army’s top 2 wrestlers, rated top 15 nationally at times in ‘99.  They were scoreless for 4 minutes, before Travis scored on a deep single,  fighting off the Cadet’s counter in the 2nd period. Another nice shot by  Doto with 1:20 left give him a 5-0 lead, before Yegge escaped, was warned for  stalling then thwarted another Doto shot. Riding time of 1:27 gave Travis a  nice win.

174: In the feature bout of the day, there were no TDs scored in the 1st pd  (true for the 1st 3 bouts). In another “Grandfather Draw” Dufresne got in  deep for an apparent two, before Worthy locked up a reverse headlock and  elevated Mark into a neartakedown of his own. Mark’s headlock helped stave  off the counter as the buzzer sounded to end ‘Round 2’ With the action picking up in the 3rd, the two grimly fought each other  to overtime, where Worthy nailed Mark’s own move--a duck-under--for the win  after 34 seconds of overtime.

184: Rohn settled the score with senior, Hess, with an early TD and later  3-pt. nearfall on a loose held cradle. Working the legs, he tacked on another 3-pt nearfall by tying up the head. An escape and TD in the 2nd made it 11-0  after two periods. He scored a fall 25 sec. into the 3rd with a powerful  standing pancake straight to the mat, with the pin just seconds after the  move. 

197: After another scoreless first, Glauco adapted to the military defense  by throwing an inside leg trip for two; escape Army made it 2-1 going into  the third. The taller Cadet slapped on an effective cross body ride, before  Glauco fought back with a reversal. Escape Army, before GLG fought off a low  single, with a counter spin of his own, for a TD and solid 7-2 win, putting 
the visiting Engineers on track with a 15-3 lead.

Hwt: First pd TD for Shawn off his front headlock, then one escape each  (3-1). Shawn won it with two takedowns to none, yielding 3 escapes vs. one  of his own.

125: Five TDs on the same move--a shoulder tie-up & far leg pick-- gave  Kelly a 12-4 major, including an escape and nearly 3:00 ride time.

133: Boyd was in huge trouble, on his back for a full minute in a cradle,  somehow avoiding the fall to end the 2nd period, for a 5-2 deficit. So what  look would appear on Coach Strobel’s face at the sound of the buzzer? Why, a  huge grin (yes, bigger than usual) as the bench knew whose period the 3rd  would be. “Roadrunner” Boyd ran down the Cadet, scoring 3 takedowns to tie  it up 8-8 in final 30 seconds. By overtime, there was no doubt who’d score  first---if you ran up Squaw Peak behind Tristan in Tempe, AZ, you’d  understand this brazen remark (WAY behind). 

141: Goldstein worked on his Greco routine in the first period (3 TDs), then  added some mat strength in the 3rd, winning 13-3 on six TDS in all. Asked  what he used, he replied, “I don’t remember .... but I pulled a Dufresne  today .... I wrestled J.V.” Ironically, the formerly unprecedented maneuver  (legal, under NCAA rules) was done by Mark against the military academy.

149: Miller had 3 TDS and a reversal for a 7-1 lead before Roadrunner II  (Minarovic) scored the last takedown, battling along the way. Why were we  not surprised?
