I'm not going to name names...I won't even mention the school (which is very uncharacterstic of me...I'm all about mocking and humiliating children), but during a 145lbs match at the Coliseum saturday (I believe it was the ticket round), a kid walked off the mat with 2 seconds left and down 1 point. I watched the entire match. Both kids fought hard. He was clearly disheartened when his opponent broke the tie with 2 seconds left. When the official blew his whistleto start them (after he had to bring the kid back onto the mat) the kid turned and walked away from his opponent...who chased him down from behind and took him down to the mat. People were booing and I wasn't sure whether they were booing the quitter or the kid who fought until the end. I'm not a wrestling expert by any stretch. But, when I saw that kid give up like that it really pissed me off...and I wouldn't want someone like that representing my team, my school, my community. In other words...kudos to the young man who finished the match.
For those who were there and saw it...what was your take?
