When parents have their child wrestle a lighter weight than they actually weigh, they are only hurting their child. Secondly, they are not modeling good behavior for their son or daughter. I think the vast majority of parents do not abuse the faxed or satelite weigh in. It does make the tournament run more smoothly when they are done the night before, at these bigger events.
Sorry if my original post was not clear. My intent was to recognize a coach who acted very admirably. I was impressed! This is one of the many reasons I love this sport, because of the great things it teaches all involved.
Just wanted to recognize South Dearborn's assistant coach Chris Nobbe, who showed great integrity yesterday. At the Madison Cub Classic, during the Lawrenceburg/S.D. 120lb. matach, his wrestler was awarded a takedown. When the period ended he told the referee that he did not feel his wrestler had the takedown but it was the referees call. The referee then reversed his call. He set a great example for the young men participating.
Anyone have a link to find the middle school brackets and/or results from Super 32 . Several Indiana kids are competing and curious how they represented.
