Neil lost to Shane Vernon from Broken Arrow(OK)in the finals of the Jerry Billings Invitational in Sapulpa Oklahoma this past weekend. Vernon is an excellent wrestler who is currently ranked #1 in the state of Oklahoma. The actual final score to the match was 9-2 with Vernon getting a takedown on a failed desperation throw by Neil at the buzzer. It was closer than the score looks. Neil wrestled great in the tournament and was dominant in all of his matches leading up to the finals. Neil is looking forward to the match with Wiscombe on Tuesday as Justin is having an excellent season. Good luck to both wrestlers.
