NO, they shouldn't.  Just like the 3rd/4th place match at SS should not be shortened.

Zar Walker vs Ethan Doster for the Title tonight.  

After reading this thread, I'd say the OP was spot on and a whole bunch of people were wrong big time.  I think only one or two replies mentioned Walker and I didn't see any mentioning Doster at all.

Just goes to show, there are no absolutes, but there is a lot of empty bravado and hot air on a message board.  

Seems it would be a lot easier to just say that initially

Figured I’d get it out early so people could start talking things up as they return from the late lunch break. 
 

 
 
And @JayinSTL I apologize up front this time for any disappointment you may have after waking up from your late afternoon nap and not seeing this thread full of ridiculous takes while you sipping on your Ensure Plus Supplement drink. 

I am totally fine rotating the state tournament between cities for the future. We have highly enjoyed it in Evansville. Sure it is a farther drive, but who cares.

Where has FCFighter been?

Between Betz, Getz and Beck, I'm not sure which way is up at times when looking at the brackets.  Toss in a couple of Rioux's, Cressell's, Terry's and Schaefer's, and that's a lot.  Not sure who are brothers, cousins or just share a namesake, but lots of duplication of surnames for sure.

Noticed that out of the top 10 teams, 5 of them have over 2500 students, 2 have over 1000 students, and the other 3 have over 500 students.

They were fixed at least 6 hours before this comment.

Not to mention being down 9-1 after the 1st period and coming all the way back to take a 10-9 lead before getting the fall.  Crowd went nuts!

I’ve driven three hours each way to the state finals for 45 years. Quit being a baby.

Who's the dummy that brought in crappy weather?  Someone from up north who complained about the trip, with voodoo skills, of course!

"We have put a request to Flo to start streaming Mat 1 at 1:25 for the parade. Hopefully that helps. It is going to be a camera pointing at the entrance. That is likely all we can really do for that."

I've said this before and will echo it once again.  Maybe I'm on a limb on my own, but....

In a tournament with no wrestlebacks, and results determining bracket placement for the next weekend, chopping off a minute in the 3rd/4th Place matches may be the dumbest thing ever! These matches could ultimately determine who the state champ is next weekend, yet they are treated the same as a 2nd round consi match in a 64 man bracket.  

I'm not sure there was much happy for anyone with that match. 

Relief on MD's part for Henderson, stress for Coach Schaefer not knowing whether his wrestler would be DQ'd on a questionable call, seeing a wrestler hurt on the mat and his son wrestling at the same time on a different mat.  And Coach Snyder disappointment and a heavy level of concern.  

I do believe the result was the correct one based on the match itself.  But no one can be happy seeing Haines needing to be carted off.  Just a tough situation all the way around.

I mentioned this in a other thread, but I'll repeat here.  The glare from the l8ghts onto the mats today was really bad.  At first, I thought it was outside daylight shining in, but it got worse later in the day.  The video quality was very poor today.

Well said.  I was confident you would share the details and in a way to not throw the referee under the bus (not saying I think you believed anything different than what you said). I knew you'd handle it with class, yet be straight.  
 
I agree the match ended with the proper result, and appreciate how it was handled.  Happy to hear Preston is on the road to recovery.  
 
I will say I think the comment about him walking around was initially misconstrued.  I believe he said he was standing and talking.  On camera it did appear as he was standing, but couldn't tell if it was on his own or with help.  And not serious could simply mean something dire such as paralysis seemed to be avoided at that point.  I don't think there was any negative intent with the comment. 
 
The bottom line is kudos to how it was handled and hopefully there is a quick recovery. Good luck at State.
