World Champion Registered: August 27, 2002 Posts: 6425 | Some Nebraska results that I remember Dominguez and Denson both won and got outstanding wrestler for their division. Cameron Browne also won over an Iowa state champion. I think both Aaron Terry and Tayor Escamilla finished 2nd. Jake Smith 3rd, Casey Gubbels 2nd, Jay Sherer 4th. Vacanti was out with an injury. Very tough tournament with many hard fought matches. Hopefully they keep the tournament in Nebraska. I heard they are possibily looking at a different venue like the Qwest Center in Omaha. |
World Champion Registered: August 27, 2002 Posts: 6425 | Also Eklund was 2nd to a kid from PA that beat Trenton Washington 1-0. Eklund and Washington both beat the highly touted Casey Smith of Wasatch Utah. |
Rookie Registered: October 21, 2002 Posts: 194 | Is there any website that has the brackets up? |
World Champion Registered: August 27, 2002 Posts: 6425 | I am sure Brute will them up on the site sometime this week. They were a little short on help the way it was, so no one was able to enter the results. |

Competition was at least 30% tougher than last year (depth wise) Roughly 49 of the 110+ Nebraska wrestlers placed this year for a little less than 50% Best of all.....I still have HB's cool Brand New Brute Polo!!!!!! |
World Champion Registered: August 27, 2002 Posts: 6425 | Alright here's a little more in-depth. Sackett lost to the Missouri state champion Holloway (sp?) on a last second reversal in the semis then lost to the North Dakota champion Hohlbein in the wrestlebacks. Chavez beat Allen 6-2 in the consolations Cardenas lost to eventual champ Isenberg 10-0 then beat Kottas 5-1 in the wrestlebacks. Kottas lost to Mallie Shuster of PA in the first round like 8-2. The two Rushville kids Sones and Krotz really did well. I think they have very bright futures. Eklund beat Casey Smith of Utah pretty easily in the semis. Lost to Robinson of Pennsylvania in the finals (not sure on score). Robinson beat Trenton in the first round 1-0, a match where he didn't take a shot the entire match. Trenton then beat Casey Smith in the wrestlebacks and lost to the Arizona champ on a last second takedown to finish 4th. Dominguez beat Mohr 20-4 TF in the semis then dominated in the finals against the Kansas champion, Grape. Looked very impressive all weekend and definitely deserved the OW award. Outside of the match against Dominguez, Mohr looked like he is well on his way back from the illness he had this past year. Brown lost to eventual champ Robbins 3-2 in the semis. Love looked tough, just needs to open up his offense more. Spudich lost to Missouri champion Trever Collins 3-2 in semis. Sherer had one of the toughest weight classes of the tournament. He actually beat the eventual champion Chris Sandy of Iowa in the pool then lost to Illinois state runner-up Winning on a last second takedown. Lost to 3x Nevada state champion Saddoris 9-4 in the medal match but beat a 2x Texas state champion in the consolations. Gubbels lost to 2x Montana state champion Vince Salminen in the last few seconds. He gave up a reversal and some backpoints from a scramble. Was dominating the match up to that point. Beat a 2x Kansas placer in the semis. Didn't see Medina wrestle much but know he lost to Loccoco of Missouri. Denson dominated a pretty tough weight to get OW. Closest match looked like the semis where he beat Texas runner-up Trosk. Beat a 3x Montana finalist in the championship and made that kid look very silly. Only saw Gavin wrestle once against Artist of Glenwood where he lost. Jake and Nick Smith were in another very tough weight. The eventual winner, Brandvold of Wisconsin, lost by a single point to Max Askren of Wisconsin in the state finals this year. He will be one of the top recruits in the country next year and my opinion is that he was the best wrestler in the tournament. Jake beat Iowa runner-up Copsey of Glenwood twice including the medal match. Both very hard fought wins. Lost to the Kansas champ Strawn in the semis (close match). Also beat the Iowa runner-up Gordon Johnson in the wrestlebacks. Cameron did a heck of a job in the finals against the Iowa champion, Ben Lehman. Beat him easily but I'm not sure on the score. Aaron Terry lost in the pool to Missouri champion Crossett, then beat #4 rated nationally, Malonee of Platte County Missouri in the semis. By the way, Denson, where's my jacket at? |
