DuckFor2 got a reaction from TobusRex in Best Wrestlers in Lehigh History
live too! the announcers were incredible, Shel Siegel and Larry Sheridan.
Larry Sheridan has been around EIWA wrestling for 86 years -- his entire lifetime.
The son of Billy Sheridan, Lehigh's iconic Hall of Fame wrestling coach, was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where he still resides. As a teen he wrestled for Bethlehem High School (now Liberty High School) and for Mercersburg Academy, winning the National Prep School title at 154 pounds in 1950. He wrestled briefly for Lehigh University, but had to curtail competing in the sport as a sophomore due to repeated knee injuries.
Shortly after his graduation from Lehigh, Sheridan became a wrestling official, a position that he excelled at for nearly 20 years. In 1968 he began announcing wrestling matches for Channel 39 in the Lehigh Valley along with EIWA Hall of Famer, Shel Siegel. The twosome covered all Lehigh meets, the EIWA finals, the PIAA finals, several East-West duals and several Russia vs USA matches. He retired from wrestling announcing for Channel 39 in 1994.

the name calling and belittling of fellow posters is nauseating. I hope all of you feel better about yourselves.

DuckFor2 got a reaction from bfrito17 in Breakdown of two wrestlers from North Ossetia Alania.
agree, pretty impressive breakdown! I can honestly say i've never seen this technique taught. Great technique for a left hander or for any wrestler adept at shooting with both hands.

DuckFor2 got a reaction from DocBZ in J'den Cox Announces Move up to 97kg
now we can only assume the issue is he's too small for 97.
Cox! Cox! Cox! from tOSU training center
-
DuckFor2 reacted to Lurker in Can we put the Cox question to bed?
What a story line. They have a history dating back to Cadets, both Olympic medalists with college eligibility remaining...Snyders leaves OSU for NLWC, Cox comes into OSU right behind him, and then chooses his weight to go after. You gotta love this stuff!!!

DuckFor2 got a reaction from TexRef in Maryland - Two Piece Uniform
Princeton was wearing them for a while, i think when they were bad. Just like Maryland so maybe it's a reflection on that? lol
Don't recall ever seeing Lehigh in a 2 piece.
My opinion is the shorts with these unis end up being basketball shorts, especially at the elementary level and they look stupid, go play basketball if that's the look you are seeking. The idea behind the "shorts" was more like MMA, tight fitting shorts and a tight top, not what we are seeing.
long live the singlet!

DuckFor2 reacted to Abdullahgadzhi Khuzin in You have got to love Joey McKenna!

DuckFor2 got a reaction from spladle08 in Who is still taking burroughs over Dake?
i think once JB loses that spot he'll hang em up. But i don't think his time is up just yet.
even though Dake looks as muscular as I've ever seen him. JB.

DuckFor2 got a reaction from stp in Midlands Day 2 Thread
Rivera clearly outwrestled him minus the toss on the end line. Poor reffing at the end, if that wasn't a reversal, should've been a stalmate.

DuckFor2 reacted to neutralpositionref in Is Midlands back?
This is a new Division 1 program that started this year in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was initially reported as the University of Arkansas Little Rock, but they are rebranding all sports as Little Rock Trojans Wrestling, etc. They are in the PAC 12 for wrestling only.
