“Former Iowa wrestler Brent Metcalf scored a second-round technical fall to beat Bubba Jenkins 2-0, 6-0 in the 66-kilogram freestyle match at the Beat the Streets Gala on Thursday aboard the USS Intrepid in New York City.
Metcalf, a two-time national champ, met former Penn State star Jenkins four times in college. Metcalf won all four matches.”

Pope High School, located in Marietta, Georgia, locked up the 2009 McCallie Invitational title with a total of 285 points, more than 85 points more than the second place team, Father Ryan, who finished a strong tournament with 197 points.

Some other teams, along with Pope, brought in some out of state talent. At 140, Ryan Maus from Kennesaw High School first majored 2x State Champion Stuart Doster of Baylor in the semis, then went on to beat State Champion Michael Hooker from McCallie 6-1 in the finals. 3x Champ TJ Duncan from McCallie fought off numerous takedown attempts by Kennesaw’s other finalist Johnathan Rivera to pull off a 3-2 win at 152.
