Just to clarify, Penns True Varsity was at the Charger Invitational. A tournament they have participated in for years. From what I understand, when Yorktown pulled out of the Merrillville tournament because of the pending team state, an invitation was offered to Penn. And they decided to send their V2. I know M'ville would have loved for Penn to bring their V1, but that would not have been fair to Elkhart Memorial and the teams expecting Penn's best!
Regarding SB Clay's decision, I can see that as well. If you are going to wrestle a team in your conference potentially 4 times in a season, what is the point, Clay was at the tournament before Penn was invited, and I am sure it is a strategic choice by their coach, and I respect Al Hartman's decision, This coach is a class act, and I am sure his reason are valid, and in the best interest of THEIR program.
Panther out. ;D
