Arizona State University takes on Oklahoma State University on Friday at Stillwater – Wrestling news
Arizona State University and Oklahoma State University will go head-to-head in a wrestling match on Friday, January 20, 2012.
Oklahoma will host the bout and will receive Arizona State University as tourists. It should be noted here that this is the first time Oklahoma University is hosting a bout in the last one month.
ASU will take on two teams in Oklahoma, and for the very first time it will see the number one ranked team as its opponent. The Gallagher-Iba Arena will witness the enthralling brawl between ASU, the Sundevils, and Oklahoma State, the Cowboys. The Arizona
roster is, after a very long time, fighting as tourists away from home, hence lacking the home advantage and crowd benefit.
Sundevils, after their clash with the Cowboys, will do some grappling with USA Today’s number 11 team Oklahoma, the Sooners. Currently, ASU is not in the top 25 list at all, whereas the Oklahoma State’s both teams are on number one and 11 respectively.
The first dual with the Cowboys will take place at Stillwater, while the second dual will take place in Norman at the McCasland Field House. The second dual against the Sooners will take place on Sunday, January 22nd. Currently Sundevils’ most powerful weapon
is Levi Cooper; a heavyweight weighing 285 pounds.
Levi has been a great charm on ASU’s roster and is currently the most probable man to take on Oklahoma State’s 285-pounder Alan Gelogaev. Levi leads his team’s roster by 20 wins and just 7 losses out of 27, whereas out of 11 duals he has lost just 2 winning
the remaining 9.
Levi Copper is currently ranked at number 9 and is the only grappler who is listed among the top 10 in the whole expected fighting roster of ASU. The following men from both sides are expected to take on each other in different weight categories.
In the 125-pound category, Jon Morrison of Cowboys will take on either David Prado or Dalton Miller. In the 133-pound division, Jordan Oliver (Oklahoma) will stand against Kalin Goodsite or Shane McGough whereas in the 141-pound weight, Josh Kindig will
fight Nathan Hoffer.
Jamal Parks (Oklahoma) will try to beat Joel smith in 149-pound category, whereas at 157-pound weight Albert White will take on Rush Hall, who will make his debut. In 165-pound division, Hans Rasmusson of Sundevils will take on any one of the following Joe
Ali, Chris Chionuma, and Dallas Bailey.
At 174, 184, and 197-pound categories Chris Perry (Oklahoma) will wrestle Eric Starks, Chris McNeil (Oklahoma) will bout Zach White, and Blake Rosholt (Oklahoma) will fight Cayle Byers. The epic fight will take place between Alan Gelogaev and Levi Cooper
in the 285-pound category.
