Thanks Phil and chambers for your insight. Again, it was my fault for not catching it before it happened. I just want to make sure it doesn't happen again and feel because it cost a wrestler mat time! Riley Johnson

Normally I am pretty quiet on here, but I witnessed something yesterday at the New Haven Super Dual that I have not seen in all of my years of wrestling or coaching and just wanted to get other opinions. I coach at FW Wayne and in the second round we wrestled Maconaquah. The dual started at the 126 lb weight class in which we do not have a wrestler competing (thus we forfeit). Now before I explain what happened, as a head coach, I will take the blame for this, because it is my responsibility to make sure every single issue is taken care of. At no time was this issue Maconaquah's coaches fault. As the match started, our 132 lb (4 year Senior wrestler) went to the scores table. We have not had a 126 all year, so he is accustomed to a FF before he wrestles. The scoring table then checked him in to go wrestle. About 1 minute into the match, our coaching staff realized that in fact he was wrestling their 126 lber and not their 132 lber. The official scorer had checked in our 132 at 126 and allowed him to go out without ever stopping it. As we stopped the match, the official stated that he always asks each wrestler if they are that weight and since it was dead time, not only would that match stop, but now we would have to forfeit the 132 weight class too because their wouldn't be adequate rest time in-between wrestling matches for our 132. The official said if we would have caught it 10 seconds into the match then it wouldnt have mattered? Why did our wrestler get punished for the scorer's mistake? I was just wondering if anyone had ever experienced something similar to this? Our wrestler knew we had a forfeit at 126 and thought he was being sent out for the 132 match. Again, I will take the blame for this, but I dont feel as a coach, I need to walk my wrestlers to the scoring table before every match and hold them until I get confirmation from the scorer (which the official suggested I do for the rest of the season.)

Great idea Joe...I really think it could help people inform "non-wrestling" fans about your great sport and state...let me know if you need help with anything! I know Wayne Wrestling supports the idea!

Yesterday morning, in his sleep, Fort Wayne North Side junior wrestler Tyler Byall suffered a heart attack. It is still unknown what the cause was. Tyler is in intensive care and in an induced coma right now. Please pray for this young athlete (ran cross country and track as well) and his family. The doctors are still unaware if any brain damage occurred as Tyler's brain was without oxygen for over 5 minutes as it occurred. Thank you.

Who have the guys wrestling in the finals tonight (that aren't undefeated) all lost to?
