Randy, I was looking through some of your old notes and couldn't help but to find this peice of work. Gave me a good chuckle when I definitely need one.

Chenoweth #360
Curtis Chenoweth would place his skills in the circle against a chap from Missouri. Chenoweth’s takedown skills are known as far North as Chapman, Kansas but maybe Fargo, North Dakota will learn of his prowess. Curtis scored with a variety of moves including a monkey roll and a monkey flip to build the victorious score of 16-5.

LOL ... yes and that would have been off the old scoring system too!

What happened to Big Steve? Is he going to be ok?
Any updates?

Is this really Thursday the 26th of July? Is this really the last day of the 2007 edition of the tourney? It must be!

In the Fargozone something is strange! For one I am here early to setup my station. I'm looking around the floor. That's it ... there are only 8 mats laid out on the turf! What's left will accommodate who's left, that is the best Junior Freestyler's in the Nation!

Team Kansas is down to seven! Surviving this mornings session will be a monumental task. Those that make it to this evenings session, will be the best-of-the-best!

The sidewalk outside the FargoDome is not the only place of bartering. I've noticed a few coaches and staffers make exchanges of t-shirts. Even yours truly gets involved. I have a few friends that I have met over the years that I traditionally trade with. Those trades have been made!!

I have heard "un-officially" he is out! His name no longer appears on the brackets!

He officially appears as withdrawn!

Jared Platt of New Jersey is impressive. He used 4, 3-point takedowns with exposure to defeat Joe Bach.

Atticus was drawn Bubba Owens from Oregon. Bubba is an old nemesis of Atticus's.

Bubba counters the head-and-arm and takes the lead. Late in the period, Atticus gains the pushout! Atticus wins the period.

Bubba gains the pushout in the 2nd. The period ends with Atticus attempting the pushout but it's too late. Bubba wins.

Bubba again scores the pushout. Atticus with the leg attack. Bubba snaps and spins. And once again. Bubba Owens wins.

Kenneth Ornelas is facing Jonathan Khoury of New York. The first period went to the clinch, New York won the flip but Ornelas won the position.

In the second, it was all Ornelas. He wins, 1-0, 4-0.

I'm looking forward to this match!
