It was a horrible Ref job! He got screwed out of his chance for State but yes it will motivate him for next year. He didn't lose the match it was taken from him. I'm not sure why the clock wasn't stopped when he got the 2 points. It should have ended there. I'm not sure why no one could over rule that ref, especially on the 2nd screw up. Many coaches and even the head IHSAA ref told Jon and Coach Miller that he got screwed but there is nothing in the rule books to over ride the mat judge. It's been hard to handle seeing him going out like that as a parent. He will improve, refine and learn for his final high school season next year! This will not deter him from becoming the best he can be! I couldn't be more proud of how he handled it with class even though he was thoroughly disgusted at the calls and giving and taking away of his points. I feel Coach Miller did a great job, the best he could, trying to right the injustice done to Jon. From here we move on and put it behind us. We will go to Indy Friday and cheer on all the guys that did make it to state from our area!
