Central Missouri Open

The Neosho Panther wrestlers were on the road this past weekend to Warrensburg, Missouri for the University of Central Missouri Open. The Open brought in top notch teams from all over the Midwest and featured Big 12 powers Oklahoma State as well as Missouri in the one day event. 125 pound freshman Derek Steeley continued his brilliant rookie campaign by recording a 4-1 record on the day. Steeley started off the tournament by securing falls over his first and 2nd round opponent in a combined 3 minutes and 49 seconds. In the championship quarterfinals, Steeley would face off against Oklahoma State’s Ladd Rupp. Steeley and Rupp were in a very tight knit match throughout the competition until Rupp was able to secure a cradle opportunity late and pin Steeley. Once on the back side of the bracket Steeley came roaring back with another fall, this time over a foe from the Missouri Tiger’s squad, before ending the day with a a wild 20-14 victory over host Central Missouri’s James Wauer, before bowing out of the competition due to injury.

Muskogee, Oklahoma freshman Mike Vieira was the only other Panther with multiple victories as he broke even with a 2-2 showing on the day, winning 12-6 over Newman’s Austin Workman in the first round, Vieira would then run into Intermat Wrestling’s 7th ranked NCAA DI wrestler Nick Marable of Missouri, who would hand Vieira defeat in a mere 1 minute 12 seconds. Vieira came back and would pick up a major decision victory over a NCAA DII opponent from Central Oklahoma, before taking his 2nd loss of the evening to familiar foe, DW Bradshaw of Missouri Valley. Last week in the Dan Harris Open at Baker, Bradshaw won by a dominating score of 24-9, but this week Vieira was able to close the gap, but still come up short in an 8-6 contest.

Newcomer to 2009 team, Alfonso Osuna tallied a major decision on the day to pick up a win at the UCM Open and was also joined in winning a match at the open by 4 familiar faces to NCCC wrestling when returnees Justin Ringgold, Adam Cline, Cody Eaton, and Matt McNabb all picked up victories as well.

Neosho will next be on the road to Oklahoma City University for a dual on Thursday, before making the trek up to Omaha for the Kaufmann-Brand Open on Saturday hosted by the University of Nebrasaka-Omaha.

Baker Open

The Neosho Panther wrestling team made the short trip up to Baldwin City, KS for the inaugural Dan Harris Bobcat Open hosted by Baker University.    The Panthers had  19 individuals compete in the tournament  and had a strong showing in the process with  11 individuals coming out with at least one win on the day.   The biggest highlight for the Panther’s was the fact they had 4 individuals finish in the top 6.   Leading the charge for the Panther’s was Tuttle, Ok freshman Zach Simpson.   Simpson wrestling at 141 pounds, started the tournament by  earning back to back falls to advance to the semifinals before a tough fought 9-5 victory over #1 seed Bryan Williams of York College.  Simpson would later take on Ramon Willis of Pratt in the finals, but would get caught late in the first period off of a scramble and  would  be pinned to finish the tournament as the runner up.  At 125 Broken Arrow, Oklahoma freshman Derek Steeley advanced to the semifinals in the same fashion as Simpson by dispatching of two foes by fall.   It was in the semifinal match though that Steeley would suffer his first defeat of the season to Dana College’s Aaron Wilcox.   Bouncing back Steeley would go on to win his consolation semi final by fall before picking up an 11-4 decision in the bronze medal match.  2  more wrestlers would find themselves in top finishes with Montana Carson taking 6th place at 141,   and Ralph Manous taking 6th at 184 pounds.  Freshman  Derrick Ageday of Hollis, NY also wrestling at 165 avenged a loss from the Pratt dual by stunning returning All American Travis Budke by a 3-0 shutout in the opening round of the open.   Ageday along with teammates Josh Isam of Sapulpa, OK  and team co-captain Justin Ringgold of Wichita, KS  would pick up multiple wins yet fail to place.  Ageday would win 3 matches on the day while Isam and Ringgold would each contribute 2 wins in the column to the Neosho team on the day.   Wrestlers also winning matches but failing to place for the Panther Wrestling team included  Adam Cline, Trey Vicknair,  Matt McNabb,   and Kris Powell.   Neosho next will host rival Labette on Thursday at the Chanute campus with a  7pm match time.

Pratt slips past Panthers for a 1 point win

Conference action got underway on Thursday,  when the Neosho wrestling team made the trek out to Pratt Community College for a 7pm dual.   Following a random draw for starting weight classes, the action would begin at the 174 pound weight class.  Little Rock, Arkansas sophomore Aaron Butler was tied up late in the match with Alex Feldkamp when the two wrestlers got into a scramble for position with time winding down,   as the clock went backwards and time elapsed, Butler found himself behind Feldkamp with 2 seconds on the clock to score the 6-4 decision and propel Neosho to an early lead.  Ralph Manous would follow suit with a win for Neosho by racking up several combinations of 2 point maneuvers, but when time was over he couldn’t seal the crucial bonus points for the Panthers and only won by a 7 point decision.  The momentum would shift and Pratt would claim the next two weight classes with Trey Vicknair bumping up from 184 to lose a narrow 3-2 match to national qualifier Tyler Downs of Pratt.  John Arnold gave up weight and went up against Austin Hamm and lost in the process, however Arnold was able to hit a late escape to only lose by 7 as well and narrowly avoiding bonus points from  a potential major decision.   At 125  Derek Steeley a freshman from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma would go to the mat and would find himself in a rare hole trailing 6-2 after the first period to Jesse Barber who put Steeley on his back with nearly 30 seconds or more on the clock with the Gumby-like Steeley finding a way to avoid a major setback.   Steeley chose down in the 2nd and was being ridden tough again by Barber.  Then  Barber went for the turn and Steeley went with him, however this time as he was going to his back,  Steeley high arched his body and picked Barber’s head and simultaneously the referee slapped the mat for the defensive pin giving Neosho a 12-6 lead.  Stephen Kendrick of Skiatook, Ok would come up next at 133 and after battling for 2 periods found him-self all knotted up with Kevin Callahan of Pratt.  It was then late in the 3rd when the conditioning of Kendrick would come into play by scoring an escape, followed by a 4 point move from feet to back to put away his opponent.   The see-saw battle would continue when Neosho would drop a crucial 11-2 major decision as well as a 10-8 decision at 141 and 149 respectively; however the Panthers still lead 15-13.    Josh Isam would give a cushion for the team to work with by picking up a 7-4 decision at 157,  meaning only a pinfall would allow Pratt to win the dual outright in the final match contested.  Neosho sent out true freshman Derrick Ageday from Hollis, NY   to take on Pratt’s lone All American from a year ago Travis Budke.   Ageday looked poised and confident, bouncing with enthusiasm around the circle and holding his own for a while, but then inexperience caught up with him, when the Pratt sophomore Budke hit his chin-whip to send Ageday to his back and shortly there after claim the pin and 6 points for the Pratt Beaver wrestling team.    Although Neosho never trailed in the dual all night,   at the end it was a  one point setback for the Panther’s who now are 1-1 on the season and 0-1 in conference.  Neosho is next at Baker Open on Sunday before hosting Labette here at 7pm on Thursday.

Panthers open season 35-9 victory over WSU Club

The Panther wrestling team of Neosho hosted the Wichita State Shocker club team in a dual on Sunday afternoon.   The varsity squads from both teams took to the mat with the action starting off at the 125 pound weight class.  Derek Steeley a freshman out of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma was able to rack up 3 takedowns in the 1st period before disposing of Evan Amaro at the 3:40 mark by fall.   WSU was open at 133, so the action went on to 141 where Josh Wolfe of Neosho went into the 3rd period up 8-4 on Columbus native Nick Thomas, before rattling off 7 points late in the match and adding riding time to win 15-4.  At 149 sophomore captain Justin Ringgold of Wichita, KS  trailed 2-1 after the first period, but could only make it to a 2-2 score before giving up 2 more takedowns and suffering the first defeat of the day to the Shockers 8-3.    Josh Isam a freshman from Sapulpa would get things going again for the Panthers who were up 16-3 in the team standings by picking up a 7-4 victory,  before Hollis, NY freshman Derrick Ageday went on a rampage with  12 points alone coming off of takedowns in a 18-7 major decision.  At 174  Aaron Butler of Little Rock, AR would take on 3 time Club National Qualifier Nate Alvarez of the Shockers.  After  a scoreless first period,   Alvarez took a quick reversal to go up 2-0,  however,  Butler earned an escape and a takedown to go up 3-2 before adding on more escape and winning 4-2 .   At 184 Ralph Manous a freshman from Okmulgee, OK  showed that he had very little rust from being away from the sport for a year,  by recording a 35 second fall of the Shocker’s Jake Fox.  The dual would end with back to back matches by Inola, OK natives Kris Powell and Jon Arnold.   Powell down to 197 this year after being 285 last year struggled to get any offense going early and was trailing 7-1  after the first period to Kenny Brown who spent the last few years wrestling with the Marines.     Powell continued to struggle and Brown was on the verge of a tech fall when Powell’s shoulders went flat and WSU recorded the victory by pin.    Finally at heavyweight Jon Arnold made things a lot more exciting then it should have.  With under a minute to go in the match Arnold gave up a takedown to trail 4-3,  but  with time close to the end Arnold escaped, turned and pounced at his opponent and nabbed a 2 pt takedown to seal a 6-4 victory.   Neosho  would defeat Wichita State 35-9  in varsity action and then go on to compete in 9 exhibition matches  with freshmen Alfonso Osuna and Trey Vicknair picking up victories at 141 and 197,  as well as sophomore Powell who won by fall at 4:32 bumping back up to his old heavyweight class.  Neosho is next on the road at Pratt on Thursday before heading to the Baker Open on Sunday.
