2022 Southern Scuffle Preview 141 lbs



 


We have ourselves a triple threat to the Southern Scuffle title here at 141.  I think the clear #1 seed is Clay Carlson who has thus far taken the 2021-2022 season by storm.  Not only did he defeat Northern Colorado's Andrew Alirez (also in the hunt for a title) by fall for a CKLV title earlier this season, he also owns an 11-4 decision over Real Woods of Stanford.  Doesn't really matter who is the #2 seed and who is the #3, the semi-final between Woods & Alirez will be a slobberknocker.  Woods owns both a championship and a runner-up finish to Alirez owning a runner-up finish himself. 


The Hunt for Red October ain't got nothing on the the hunt for a medal at the Southern Scuffle at 141 lbs. This isn't a battle, it's an all out war.  

Kizhan Clarke of North Carolina has looked very sharp this year, thus far owning a victory over three time NCAA All American Chad Red.  Matt Kazimir of Columbia and Allan Hart of Missouri will both be in the hunt.  In parallel universes Ryan Jack of North Carolina State would already own a victory via fall over Iowa's Jaydin Eierman. He's been pretty impressive thus far this season, let's see how he scuffles. 

CSU-Bakersfield's Angelo Martinoni often shows up with little fanfare or media presence. Despite never being mentioned and always being overlooked, he's achieved quite a bit thus far in his career. He's already placed at the Scuffle once & he recently took an 8th place finish at CKLV.   

Carter Young of Oklahoma State may very well be the starter for the Cowboys and the one with a ranking, but good ole Dusty Hone finished 3rd here in year's past and that should be noted. 

Mosha Schwartz of Northern Colorado, one of the best backups in the country was 7th here before....now he's at Oklahoma...so nevermind. 

And that's not all...

Cody Phippen of Air Force
Anthony Brito of Appalachian State
Jake Bergeland of Minnesota 
#30 Dylan Droegemueller of North Dakota State
#26 Quinn Kinner of Rider 

Will also be in the hunt for a medal.
