By the way I was not getting fired up I was saying you can't call for sour grapes when someone is just asking for more info about a situation. No one is making excuses for him I was just pointing out what I knew from what I read. By the way here is the part of the article that talks about it:
Under the weather: A case of strep throat took its toll on Crown Point's Eric Roach (40-2). He went into the semifinals unbeaten, then lost his final two matches, 6-2 in the semis to Brown County's Mitchell Richey and 3-1 in the consolations to Carmel's Will Mascaro.
"It really affected my conditioning," Roach said. "I don't like to make excuses. I should've put it out of my head. The kids who beat me were really good. People have their days and this just wasn't my day."[/b
