Bronchos Claim Five Titles In Kansas

BALDWIN CITY, Kan. (Nov. 6) – Dylan Lucas overwhelmed the field to capture the 133-pound title and lead a parade of five Central Oklahoma champions at the Dan Harris Open Sunday.

The No. 4-ranked Bronchos also got gold medal efforts from 125 Studd Morris, 141 Ryder Ramsey, 184 Anthony DesVigne and Hvy Braden Morgan, with UCO finishing runner-up at three of those weights.

Morris edged Garrett Steidley, Morgan beat Christian Arriola in overtime and DesVigne earned a medical forfeit victory over Garrett Wells, who was competing as an unattached entry. Gabe Johnson added a third-place finish at 157 for the Bronchos.

"It was a pretty good day overall," head coach Todd Steidley said. "It was good for our guys to wrestle a bunch of matches and they did some good things. We have a lot of work to do, but it's the first week of the season and we're going to get better."

Lucas wasn't tested in going 4-0 on the day. The sophomore newcomer followed an opening-round bye with 16-0 and 17-1 technical falls before scoring a first-period pin in the semifinals.

Another dominating effort following in the title match as Lucas struck for three takedowns and three near-falls in opening up a 16-2 lead over Central Missouri's Elijah Reece before ending it at the 2:44 mark.

Steidley and Morris both won four regular decisions in advancing to their finals showdown, which Morris won 4-2.

The junior had a first-period takedown, second-period escape and riding time point against two escapes for Steidley.

Ramsey started the day with three easy wins, then rolled to an 11-0 major decision in the semifinals. The redshirt freshman capped his perfect day by edging Raphael Marascio 6-4 in the title match behind a pair of takedowns.

DesVigne waltzed into the finals with no trouble, claiming a first-period fall, 16-0 technical fall and two easy wins. The junior picked up the title by medical forfeit over Wells, who also didn't have any trouble in making the finals.

The freshman followed a first-round bye with 4-0 and 8-0 shutouts before cruising to an 11-4 semifinal triumph.

Morgan followed an opening-round bye with a first-period fall and methodical wins of 7-3 and 7-2 to move into the finals opposite Arriola, who stated with three straight falls before pulling out a 5-3 sudden-victory decision in the semis.

The two big men traded escapes in finishing regulation tied at 1-1, then neither could score in the sudden-victory period. Arriola escaped in the first tiebreaker, but Morgan struck for a takedown to go ahead 3-2 and held on when Arriola couldn't get a turn in the final 30-second tiebreaker.

Johnson followed an opening bye with 8-2, 14-6 and 8-4 wins before dropping a 5-4 decision in the semifinals. The redshirt freshmen responded with a 9-3 victory and 15-5 major decision in taking third.

Josh Taylor went 5-1 on the day before being forced to stop after reaching the six-match limit.

The redshirt freshman dropped a 3-2 opening-round decision to Central Missouri's Johnny Akin before rebounding with three first-period falls, a 10-2 major decision and a 3-1 win over Akin to make the consolation semifinals at 141.

UCO goes for its 21st straight dual win Thursday when it goes to Springfield, Mo. to take on Drury, then will send a large contingent to Poteau, Okla. Saturday for the Viking Open.
