Coach Beasley Previews the University at Buffalo Open

Note:  I wrote this preview early this morning (11/5/11) so I am sure there will be other very good wrestlers registered for the tournament that did not preregister.  Currently, there are 176 wrestlers registered.  In the past few years, the tournament has averaged about 250 wrestlers so there may be more registering.  The teams that are already registered are:  Army Prep, BU, Buffalo, Edinboro, Gannon, Lehigh, NCCC, Pittsburgh, Cortland, and Finger Lakes (Cornell Freshman that deferred enrollment this year).

We have ten guys that will probably go out to Buffalo this weekend for the open tournament.  Watch for Colton Perry, Alex Neal, Dan Riggi, Derek Heyman, Joe Chamish, Vin Grella, Adam Morris, Angelo Bortoluzzi, Cody Reed, and Tyler Deuel to compete this Sunday in Buffalo.
