I’m Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. My wife’s asleep, so I’m doing something different and recording this using the Backpack app on my phone. I’m standing in my 44-degree garage. And of course, this is now the second time I’m recording it, since stupid me tested it, changed a setting, but didn’t re-test it. So now I’m back in the garage. This isn’t my initial script, so screw it.

Dual Meets: 

* As noted in the Monday episode, there was a dose of Division III wrestling in Ohio where No. 4 Mount Union beat Muskingum 54-0, highlighted by seven falls from the Purple Raiders, including a 10-second fall from returning All-American and top-ranked Antwon Pugh. No. 1 Jordin James, last year’s national champion at 133, picked up one of the other six falls. John Carroll beat Heidelberg 25-15, No. 9 Baldwin Wallace beat Ohio Northern 28-6 and No. 15 Otterbein beat Wilmington 53-0. Of note with Wilmington, this is the second year the team has been active since reinstatement, but with no home duals last year with an abbreviated schedule, Tuesday was the first home dual in seven years for the Fighting Quakers - yes, I say again, Fighting Quakers. All-American heavyweight and top-ranked Drew Kasper had a fall in 94 seconds there for Otterbein.

* In the NAIA, Baker beat Graceland 32-12. Returning national champion Lucas Lovvorn picked up a major decision at 174 pounds over Brennan Swafford of Graceland. Lovvorn was No. 1 in the preseason at 174, while Swafford was No. 2 at 165 in the NAIA preseason rankings.

TAKEDOWN CANCER

* It's time again to think about hosting a TakeDown Cancer event at one of your home meets, tournaments or youth events. TakeDown Cancer raises money for the Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund where over 91 percent of all money goes directly to research doctors and other cancer related projects.

TakeDown Cancer is an all volunteer group with no paid salaries.

TakeDown Cancer has raised almost $250,000.

Notables on the Docket for November 20:

* No Division I duals on Wednesday, but here’s some of the things I’ll be watching. In Division III, Wartburg hosts Simpson, while UW-La Crosse will face UW-Eau Claire and UW-Platteville will face UW-Whitewater. In Division II, it’s a PSAC tilt with Millersville heading northeast on Route 222 to face Kutztown, passing a few places in Ephrata where I used to throw darts. St. Cloud State opens up the Northern Sun slate by hosting Southwest Minnesota State. In the NAIA, Briar Cliff heads to Northwestern (Iowa),
