I was appalled at the way the Franklin Central wrestles behaved. The coaching staff did nothing but encouraged it. It was flat out embarrassing and disrespectful to this great sport!

Once again sir if there are any issues take it up with the IHSAA. Keep my athletes, who are children, names out of your mouth.

Coach Moore, I do not know why you would direct your comment to Coach Slaymon?? To assume he was the one to make this post is completely wrong.  I can assure you that it was NOT a GREENWOOD wrestler or parent that made the alleged comment.  You do know that Greenwood and Westfields colors are similar, correct?  But the way your wrestlers handled everything does not align with sportsmanship.  Just look at how Geno wrestled in the championship match and afterwards all the kids laughing.

I was at Circle City Classic and Franklin Central’s sportsmanship was horrible across the board. The coaches did nothing! 

When do wrestlers that qualified at Indy Nationals get entered

A cross face with a closed fist, I wonder how that works?
No one wants to see it end the way it did but all you can hope for is the Center Grove kid, who is a great wrestler will learn from this and move forward.
Franklin has a great young team that always seem to be in the matches until the end.  Great tourney Saturday!!!

The Franklin freshman wrestler was on bottom near the out of bounds on the side of the mat in front of me, with Pruett on top of him leading 14-0. The Franklin wrestler jerked his head back into Pruett’s face. Pruett then hit the Franklin kid in the back of the head with a closed fist. There was no “cross face” . . .
There were two refs working the match. They conferred and made their decision (head butt on Franklin kid, flagrant on Pruett) that led to Pruett being disqualified. 

Peyton Pruett Center Grove up 14-0 in 2nd period on Franklin kid at Johnson County tournament with his team down and him having a chance to win 145 and the match for the team gets DQ for punching the Franklin kid. Cost himself the championship and lost the match for the team.
