Besides wishing the pattern would have ran all the way through the singlet...hands down one of my favorites in 30 years of watching the finals!

Sean Mappes will be wrestling at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga next season.

Sean Mappes running from his opponent? That's about the dumbest thing I have ever heard..if the kid wanted a better shot of winning he shouldn't have gotten rode out for over half the match. Congrats to Sean on an unbelievable season, defeating 9 kids ranked in the top ten at some point this year..I know not too many people can say that. It's been a privilege to watch you grow as a young man and as a wrestler, and only more to come. 46-0 2012 State Champion and NOTHING anyone says or does can EVER take that away!

It starts at the top. When you have coaches encouraging the booing of an official to the high school student section while waving his arms in the air and walking along the side of the mat, then the outbursts of emotion from kids should expected. The meet had been hyped up for weeks and I am sure the wrestlers wanted to put on a display for the crowd. This being said, a celebration is fine when done in the right fashion and with class and respect for both yourself, your team/ school, your family, and most importantly your opponent.
