The first weekend of major college wrestling came and went, so now that you’ve given up on your college football team for the season, because you know the College Football Playoff is going to put at least one team in there that didn’t earn it, this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more that went on today in the world of wrestling, I’m award winning yadda yadda yadda Jason Bryant.

In Duals:

* Limited schedule, so we’ll lead off with the only Division I dual on the docket, which saw North Dakota State beat visiting CSU Bakersfield 24-9 in Fargo. No confirmation if the winner got to pick where to eat dinner, but I’m sure Roger Kish would make his former coworker Manny Rivera eat somewhere nice, not like super fried Turf fare. There wasn’t a super individual match of note, but NDSU’s Cam Sykora picked up a technical fall at 133 pounds over Chance Rich. NDSU improved to 1-0, while the Roadrunners (meep! meep!) fell to 0-2.

* Reinhardt, ranked second in the NAIA, shutout Division II Emmanuel 45-0. The Eagles scored five falls, with two-time All-American Antonio Stewart earning a fall at 2:15, while fellow All-American Michael Carew registered one at 2:04.

* Central Oklahoma, ranked No. 13 in Division II, won nine out of 10 bouts on Sunday to beat Drury 41-3. The Bronchos, yes, with an H, kinda like Sctanley, with a C, picked up seven bonus victories on the day. In more mixed duals, Division II Coker opened up its season with a 30-11 win over Division III Averett, which starts its first season under new head coach Blake Roulo.

* In the NJCAA, Iowa Western, the Reivers, which means something like River Pirate or pissed off chicken, shut out Otero 49-0 and Colby 46-6 to start off the season. Just kidding about that chicken thing, but a the Reiver has a long and colorful history. Well, that’s what the first few words of the Iowa Western website say about it.

In Tournaments:

* Southeast Open: Nothing crazy earth-shattering at the Southeast Open at the Bergland Center in Roanoke, the best sports venue in the Salem-Roanoke area. I remember when Campbell was so bad. Like, losing to Delaware State bad. Well, those days are long gone – and sadly – so is Del State’s program. But the Camels had four individual champions to lead all teams in the Open Division. Noah Gonser topped Mizzou’s Allan Hart at 133, Josh Heil beat North Carolina’s Zach Sherman 5-4 at 141, Quentin Perez pinned North Carolina’s Kennedy Monday at 165 and a beefed up Andrew Morgan majored Chattanooga’s Matthew Waddell at 184. Missouri, fresh off its loss on Saturday to Virginia Tech had three champs with Brock Mauller winning at 149, Jarrett Jacques at 157 and Connor Flynn at 174. Virginia Tech, North Carolina and West Virginia each had a champ. In the freshman/sophomore division, Ferrum’s Levi Englman picked up the title at 133, not bad for a Division III kid. And guess what, another Poquoson shout out as Mason Fiscella of Appalachian State won the title at 184. His dad Ed wrestled veterans for a long time, and actually gave me my start in sports as I was a press box assistant for the semipro football team, the Peninsula Poseidons back in 1991. Seriously.

* Princeton Open: Patrick Glory went fall, tech, tech, tech en route to a title at 125 pounds, but there weren’t any results that were super OMG. Notably, high school standout Beau Bartlett entered at 141 and took fourth. Columbia’s Matt Kazmir won the weight, going major, tech, decision, fall. He beat Logan Brown of Army in the finals. Brown beat Bartlett 3-1 in the semifinals. Mike D’Angelo returned to the Princeton lineup after a year off and picked up the forfeit finals win over Matthew Kolodzik, who is taking this year off. At 157, Rider’s Jesse Dellavecchia claimed the title beating Princeton’s Quincy Monday 4-2. Monday beat Lehigh’s Josh Humphreys 11-5 in the semis.
