Missoula, MT, WPH Press, 1/27/20- Collegiate stars Jonathan Gutierrez and Deavin Brownson squared off in a special Red Death JR WPH Showdown following the 2020 R48 Red Death Qualifier, staging a classic battle between two future R48 stars. Gutierrez controlled the action midway through the one-game match to 25, building leads of 17-7 and 23-15. Brownson, a senior at the University of Oregon, rallied to close the gap to 23-24 but could not force overtime, falling to the Front Range College (CO) upstart. “Jon was pretty much kicking my butt the whole way but I made a big comeback,” stated Brownson. “It was a lot of fun.”
