Can someone please explain to me how a wrestler undefeated in three years, state champ in last two gets a number 7 seed in semi finals. I'm not from the Lake Central Area but I'm talking about Gelen Robinson @ 220 lbs. What a joke !!!!!! It would seem that everybody in the wrestling world knows that he's the one to beat except for the people who do the seating. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. Abraham Lincoln

AMEN

Do you still have responsibility for that wrestlers safe return?

Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls UNLESS you are ready to place your real name on your post LET'S NO TALK ABOUT ANY WRESTLER OR COACH BEING UNETHICAL ???

Some other wrestling states don't have this issue FROM IOWA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION WINTER MANUAL END OF MATCH PROTOCOL The wrestling coach?s advisory committee has recommended, and the Board of Control has approved, that the Athletic Association develop a standardized end of match protocol. At the end of any match, the following protocol shall be followed: 1. Referees should move quickly after a match to get in proximity of the two wrestlers to facilitate the handshake between the wrestlers and direct them to their respective team benches/corners. 2. The wrestlers shall shake hands and the referee shall declare the winner by raising the winning wrestler?s hand. 3. The wrestlers will then proceed to their respective team benches/corners without excessive celebration and without going to the opposing teams bench/corner. 4. Post match handshakes with opposing coaches are not to be permitted. This protocol certainly does not discourage teams from going through the congratulatory line at the end of a dual meet.
