Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Junction City Invitational 171lb match

That 171 finals was action packed with 3a #1 ranked Derek Oswald of ACCHS vs. #1 ranked 6a Casey Curran of BV North. Curran won it to the score of 10-9 or 9-8.

I agree Sawyz. That was a fun one to watch. Some good scrambles. Reminded me of two old tomcats rolling around in a ball! Grandpa Oswald was sitting a few rows in front of me. I didn't hear him utter a single word the whole match. He just calmly watched it. Interesting. (I know it was him from the shirt he was wearing - it stated something to the effect of ACCHS GRANDPA and then had Derek's name and a few others listed as 'grandsons'.)

One other match i enjoyed was Livingood's - letting his opponent up with about 1 minute left and then securring the TD for the one point win. That was exciting.

It sounds like Mr. Oswald gave Casey Curran quite a battle.

I saw some very good football players this high school season during the Aquinas football season. Casey Curran was the best all around player that I saw. He is an incredible football player. He is just as good on offense and defense. I think he has the drive and heart to be a D-I football player.

What positions does he play in football?
