The University of Wyoming travels to Boise, Idaho, on Saturday to take on Boise State University's wrestling team. The dual match will, apparently, be held at Capital High School in Boise, Idaho (why I do not know) at Saturday Dec. 8, 2007. What TIME this match will be held is, apparently, up for debate. According to the Wyoming website the match will be held at 2 p.m. However, according to the Boise State website the dual is scheduled for 6 p.m. Does anyone know FOR SURE what time (and where) this match will be held - or why there are different times being given by the two schools?
This dual should have at least a couple of interesting matchups. Here's how these two teams should stack up against one another - as near as I can tell:
125 lbs. Alan Bartelli - Boise State - True Freshman (10-3 this season) vs. Cody Grant - Wyoming - Junior (3-7 this season) - These two have at least one common opponent - that being Oregon State's Jake Gonzales - Bartelli pinned Gonzales (5:45) at the Best of the West tournament and Grant lost 11-3 to Gonzales.
133 lbs. Cory Fish - Boise State - Junior (10-4 this season) vs. Cory VomBaur - Wyoming - Sophomore (10-5 this season). These two also have at least one common opponent - Wyoming's Brandon Gifford - They both defeated Gifford by identical scores of 8-1 - Fish defeated Gifford 8-1 at the Cowboy Open tournament - VomBaur defeated Gifford 8-1 in the Wyoming wrestle-offs.
141 lbs. Levi Jones - Boise State - Sophomore (7-6 this season) vs. Carter Downing - Wyoming - Senior (8-2 this season) Levi Jones took 8th place at Las Vegas last weekend but Downing did not compete at Vegas for some reason (Wyoming did attend).
149 lbs. Adam Hall - Boise State - Redshirted Freshman (11-3 this season) vs. Cody Chipperfield - Wyoming - Junior (2-7) - These two also have at least one common opponent - Nebraska's Jordan Burroughs - Hall has lost twice to Burroughs (13-7 and 7-5) and Chipperfield has also lost twice to Burroughs (19-7 and 19-7).
157 lbs. Tyler Sherfey - Boise State - Junior (13-4 this season) vs. Dane Fuhrman - Wyoming - Sophomore (1-6). These two have at least one common opponent - Matt Kocher of Pittsburgh - Sherfey lost to Kocher 1-0 and Fuhrman lost to Kocher by Technical Fall (18-2) both matches took place last weekend at Vegas.
165 lbs. Kurt Swartz - Boise State - Redshirted Freshman (10-4 this season) vs. Eric Coxbill - Wyoming - Junior (8-7 this season) They also have at least one common opponent - Stephen Dwyer of Nebraska - Swartz lost to Dwyer 4-1 - Coxbill lost to Dwyer 6-3.
174 lbs. Tyler Roshau - Boise State - Redshirted Freshman (2-6 this season) vs. Kyle Morrow - Wyoming - Senior (2-7 this season)
184 lbs. Matt Casperson - Boise State - Sophomore (8-5 this season) vs. Colt Reece - Wyoming - Junior (1-7 this season)
197 lbs. Ryan Allen - Boise State - Sophomore (3-6 this season) vs. FORFEIT
285 lbs. Nick Smith - Boise State - Junior (6-3 this season) vs. Jason Still - Wyoming - Senior (0-6 this season) Still is better than his 0-6 record might have you believe. He has faced some very tough competition so far this season.
The first three matches, 125, 133 and 141 should all be very competitive matches and the same could be said for the matchup at 165 lbs and 174 lbs. So at least half of these matches should be good matches.
