All I can say is WOW about the comments about Matt Mastison. ??? As a parent of a wrestler who has battled Matt for probably the last 4-5 yrs, all I can say I am embarrassed for my son's name being mentioned in some of the post. My family and Blake have nothing but the upmost respect for the Mastison family. I consider myself and Mark a "wrestling" friend as our boys have become competitiors on the mat. Our older kids go to the same university and I have enjoyed speaking with Mark about U of Indy wrestling. As I hoped and cheered for Matt to advance at SS, I feel that Mark and Matt were cheering for Blake and Sam Goebel to do their best and advance to state also. I hope the people that have been bashing Matt will remember that these are only boys and not adults. Congratulations on Matt's season and I know it wasn't what you guys wanted but I know Matt will make the best of it next year and only continue to work harder and be more determined. That's what scares me. I'm sure the Blake vs. Matt matches are not yet over in their HS careers.
Somebody that has nothing better to do than bash high school kids should find a charitable organization and donate some of their time instead of posting on a discussion board.
