last time i checked eastern had one kid with staph, one out for the season with an injury, and one received a concussion at sectionals. the one with staph also wrestled at sectionals. this really leaves a black mark on eastern's program not wanting to participate in the team state series. hopefully people realize that this was a coaching decision and not the athletes. for the most part it is my understanding that most of the athletes involved would be honored to participate in the team state series. i am in full agreement with whoever said the ones that choose not to go to team regionals,let there alternates wrestle at individual regionals. my only hope is that people dont think poorly of the eastern high school athletes just because of poor decisions by a coaching staff that is hopefully not supported by the athletic dir. or the administration!
