IMO he beat Kapinsky but he lost to Roach good match good ref.Its going to last another 4 years were it really counts., i will enjoy it every minute.

Oh no, I can relate - my boy has been on the receiving end of several poor calls throughout his wrestling career. Last year at Regionals for FS State in the third place match the ref awarded my kids nemesis a TD when they came down side by side in the first period with my kid with a deep whizzer in! (That's actually TWICE now I've seen refs blow that call.) My kid quickly dragged him by with the deep whizzer and spun behind and it should have been 2-0 my kid, but instead now 2-2. Match went into OT with my kid losing out. AND that kid went on to take 2nd place at FS State. Whether or not the bad call would have mattered will never be known. But, it certainly cost my kid 2 points in that match. Just be hopeful that your kid is only a victim of a bad call in the season and not when it really counts. Refs are human and they make mistakes sometimes. Wrestling has got to be one of the toughest sports to ref. I sure wouldn't want to do it. I gave that ref very little grief during the match for that bad call. It happens. And, you're certainly not going to get it changed. And it seems that you're better off NOT ticking off the ref!

P.S. I can also think of a couple of times my kid's OPPONENT has been on the receiving end of a not-so-good call. I've actually been warned by refs in years past for giving them grief about a call that went MY KID'S way - lol! Sometime's there's judgement calls that could go either way. It's not always the way I see it, but you learn to understand that as a coach you don't dwell on bad calls. It does no good. You simply focus on the task at hand and move on and hope that your kid overcomes things. I've never really discussed any bad calls with my kid after the fact either (Sssshhh - lol!). It really does no good...

I agree with you during the course of the season refs will make bad calls you can only hope it doesnt happen at the regionals, sectionals or state when it really matters. I never really discuss bad calls with my son he has been wrestling long enough to know when it happens. It still hurts a little when you won but did not get your arm raised.

he has been wrestling up at 135. he has either been under 126 or just above 126 for most of the season. he ias wrestled at 119 a few times i believe so i wouldnt be surprised if he does end up going 119. he can cut weight pretty good too.

How did Parks at 105 get ranked 1 and last week he was not even HM

Parks was ranked at 112 the last rankings, with Roach dropping down I assume he dropped down also

[wrestler98011]

at 100 tupanjac, deerpath only has one loss to mcgee i believe his record is 19-1 he did not wrestle moon in the 3rd and 4th match at gemini because of some shoulder problems but he is a solid wrestler and if honorable mentions go in order than he should be near the top, also at 90 pounds from deerpath klavsons has done very well this season and should be looked at and maybe become an honorable mention in the later rankings

Klavsons good but Potts from highland beat him in deerpath finals and dual meet. He also pinned Castillo from oak grove (ranked 5th at 85) and heard he might cut from 90 to 85. Lost to Mullen (75 champ) last year in sectional finals to get to state as a 6th grader.

Running from Roach good idea.
