parris58 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Would like to give a shout out to Kobe Woods. I have seen him wrestle, know he is a great athlete but have never talked to him. After his loss on Saturday he came up to my son Mason Parris and said good luck go get 3 state titles. I think that says a lot about his character and I have a new found respect for this young man. I want to wish you luck in the future, and we will be following your career at Purdue.

allyourbase Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Class act on both sides. My son wrestled Kobe for 7th/8th and I just happened to be sitting next to his uncle. Class runs in the family it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIACfan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 You could see the heartbreak when he lost his quarterfinals match. I was very glad to see him smiling later that night on the podium. Shows a lot of maturity & perspective. Thanks for the story. Also, congrats to your son on his title. He is one impressive wrestler.

800lbs Gorilla Mama Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Kobe was an example to all wrestlers. He had a tough couple of matches. Stilled showed up to wrestle for 7th. Excepted his medal with a smile. I pointed all of that out to my son. Win or loose, that is how it is done. My son has been told by his father that it should be hard to tell if you have won or lost. That respect should be the same for the other wrestler and his coaches. Kobe followed that code. He was a great example to all wrestlers that can see it. Happy my son and Kobe are friends. loscoz, parris58 and base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
