November 14, 2008 | Cowboy Wrestling
In one of the night's key matches, Silver scored the winning takedown with only 15 seconds remaining in the third period against Quinten Fuentes to claim a 9-8 victory. The bout featured a frantic start in which Silver scored a takedown just four seconds into the first period, only to have Fuentes get a reversal six seconds later and turn it into a four-point move with a two-point nearfall just six seconds after that. Fuentes held the lead for the majority of the bout, but Silver kept it close enough to put himself in position to make the winning takedown in the waning seconds.
As for Blanc, the 2007 All-American looked dominant wrestling in Gallagher-Iba Arena for the first time. He pinned three-time
Griffin entered the night as part of a cluster of wrestlers at 174 pounds who all had a shot at the starting spot, but he created separation from the pack with an 11-7 win over Kevin Wainscott in his first bout and a 12-5 win over Cody Hill in his second bout.
Other key matches were won by Tyler Shinn (a 3-1 sudden victory win over Chris Notte at 133 pounds) and Newly McSpadden (a 4-3 decision over Neil Erisman at 157 pounds).
The Cowboys open their season this Sunday when they compete at the Central Missouri State Open. Nearly the entire roster will be in action.
