From DelphiHwt

I agree 100%  a ref should not decide the outcome but when you have 1 kid doing all the off. and going at the other kid you have to enforce the rules I agree 2 in :30 sec. is bad but he should have called it earlier and it wasnt like the match was over and he gave him the point to win it they went into OT and decided it on the mat!

 

Hmmmmm... If you are indeed the Delphi HWT, you appeared to be somewhat of an expert on stalling yourself in that last match. Not one attempt at a takedown in six minutes  ;D

 

how many heavyweight matches have you seen where a guy has attempted a takedown, most heavyweight matches that i have seen each guy is trying to get position wether it be an over under or double unders or whatever it may be.  And when you get 2 heavyweights that evenlymatched you are not going to see a lot of take down attempts due to not being able to get in great position, and you cannot afford just to attempt a crappy one and lose the match on stupidity.  I can tell you one thing they sure werent going to try and shoot.  And if you are from john glenn i would like to know where Fitzgerald attempted a take down besides that shuck at the beginning of the match?

 

I DONT KNOW IF YOU WATCHED THE  HWT BETWEEN NOTRH NEWTON AND MISHAWAKA OR NOT BUT N.N. GUY TRIED ALOT TO TAKE DOWN BUT THE MISHAWAKA GUY JUST BLOCKED(AKA STALLED)THE ONLY REASON WHY HE GOT POINTS WAS N.N. WAS SHOOTING THE LEGS AND EVERYTHING HE COULD TO GET THE GUY DOWN.MISHAWAKA GUY WOULD EVEN DRAG BUTT TO GET IN THE CENTER OF THE RING FOR RESTARTS....

Correct me if  I am wrong; you got 6 minutes to wrestle....hmmm! I am a big fan of Hall, but he got what he deserves. He get's a lead and wants to stop wrestling for 4-5 minutes. Although it was at the buzzard; he was stalling that whole period. We all remember how tough Andrew Howe was, he would be up by 10 points with 5 seconds left and still score a takedown. Hopefully Hall has learned his lesson and I will be cheering for him to meet Sanderfur in the final 4. Best of luck to all of the wrestlers who have made it to state.

thats what i mean your there to wrestle and thats a good example!!!

Pretty sure the last point Hall was penalized for was fleeing.

 

yes the last point was for fleeing

 

 

why wouldnt you hit him for stalling that is all he did he never impressed me all day

i dont think them refs there know what stalling was,i have watched a video twice now and watched a hwt match were the Mishawaka kid tried "ONE MOVE" all 3 periods and got a win do to stalling and blocking moves.I dont think that was wrestling.It was like that all day out there.

are there any small school athletes on here? if so do your feel cheated they the state forces you to wrestle kids from a big school? when i wrestled i didnt care if i was wrestling a kid from pioneer or a kid from carmel or crown point or whatever i just went out and tried my best to win, i was from a big school and i lost to the same guy from a small school 4 times last year, he was better than me, he didnt care that i was from a duneland conference school and he was from the nic or whatever he just went out and did his thing too. i beat guys from portage and lake central, i lost to guys from new prarie and jimtown...i found no differnece in the people i wrestled they all weighed about the same and all tried equally as hard

not saying my son wasn't good this year considering he won his conference,sectionals and placing 2nd in regionals,but when he is hwt  wrestler and the next kid for him to wrestle is 160 something  freshman that really isn't a good practice for the hwt now is that?

if you haven't  really been at the small school level you dont know how it feels to go against bigger schools.

my son is a senior this year and did a hell of a job and very proud of him,but i know he could have done better specially threw the year making him better if we had lots kids were either the coaches or past graduates didn't come in these past 2 weeks for my son to wrestle.SO YES SIZE OF THE SCHOOL MATTERS!!!!!!!!!

i think the biggest upset besides Almaraz in 145 lbs was Ray loosing
