Drake Houdashelt Named Brute Wrestler of the Week
Christian Pyles
The season marches on and once again the wrestlers delivered more exciting and sometimes unexpected performances.
The Missouri Tigers had some huge wins this week. They've looked to Drake Houdashelt all year long to provide the fire and effort for the Tigers. The top ranked Houdashelt had a weekend full of challenges as he was set to take on #2 Kendric Maple and #7 Josh Kindig. He had a tight win over Maple in Norman, and had little issue taking care of Josh Kindig for the 3rd time this year. For his exemplary efforts this week and this year, Drake Houdashelt was named the Brute Wrestler of the Week.
Other Brute Wrestler of the Week Nominees:
J'den Cox: Cox continues to insert himself into 197 title contending conversations. He sent another message with a 6-1 win over previously 3rd ranked Travis Rutt of Oklahoma.
Mike McMullan: Ok, can we fast forward to the Coon v. McMullan match!? I'm psyched for that one if and when it happens. McMullan knocked off another Big Ten foe when he earned an OT win over previously 2nd ranked Bobby Telford of Iowa.
Jason Tsirtsis: Tsirtis got some revenge from Midlands with a lopsided decision over Iowa's Brody Grothus.
Dominic Abounader: The Wolverine True Freshman notched the biggest win of his college career when he upset #11 Kenny Courts of Ohio State.
