Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Great show of sportsmanship-10U 70

WOW! What a match. On mat 6 at Ottawa 2 10-70 lbs wrestlers went 4 OT's. T. Clark-Baldwin and C. Himpel-Lv Co. both left it all on the mat after 4 OT's--It was great to see both boys display great sportsmanship before and after their match. In fact Clark was there to cheer his friend on in the 3rd place match and to hi-five when Himpel took 3rd. Sometimes its not winning or losing that counts, but the great friendships wrestling creates. I commend these 2 young men on their actions. Maybe parents at matside should heed the lesson, winning IS NOT everything.

Thanks so much! It was an AWESOME match to watch and I am the proud mother of T. Clark of Baldwin, we were very happy for Clayton! Tucker and he have become good buddies over the last 2 years, and we just wanted to have it be a close match, and that it was! Good luck to all of the 10 and under 70 lbs at state Tucker will be there to cheer you all on!!!!
