Spencer was 3 tenths under on his home scales at 6:30 am he get to Mooresville and checks his weight on both scales.He has done this for years. He was two tenths under on the light scale and one tenth over on the heavy scale. Anyone that has cut weight goes with the light scale. There is never two scales the same weight in the weigh in room . When he stepped on the scale there were other coaches and wrestlers that seen him make weight in the pre weigh in checks. Spencer stayed in the room and did no running due to the scale saying he was on weight. In the mean time the light scale got messed up. Spencer was one of the first groups to weigh in on the light scale and it messed up showing a half pound gain. He had to go over to the heavy scale which he knew he was 1 tenth over. After Spencers 160 class weighed in, they unplugged the light scale scale and plugged it in and it recalibrated he got on the scale again and he was 2 tenths under.But his weight class was closed. If we could go back and say all our wrestlers need to make weight on the heavy scales we would but we have never had this happen to us before. Spencer has always made weight. This is why he was the only one not to make weight do to them unplugging the scale recalibrating. Any one that has coached or wrestled can see how this could have happened. As a father I want to throw that scale a mile and scream at the world. I look forward to my son wrestling. I am proud of my son and the young man that his has become I just hope he gets to go out on his own terms not by a electronic malfuntion.
