Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School tapping the mat?

correction to my reply...was should be changed to was not

To wrestling20, there was quite a bit more than 7 seconds left in the period as Hernandez hit the headlock within the first 15 seconds or so. Frandin, the JC wrestler was on his back for about 10-15 seconds when the hold was stopped. Was it legal? I thought so and I was there but with that being said Hernandez was still up 5-1 and should have been able to win. It looked as though he lost some focus after the call but credit the JC wrestler for battling back.

What about the situation of a lansing wrestler that whines everytime hes about to be turned and the refs stop the match. To make matters their fans thinks its the fault of the dominate wrestler. In both matches the refs have not called hold illegal just potenitally dangerous. He stahls the entire match on his stomach. Its terribly frustrating for our wrestler and has a hard time controling his anger.

Thanks Richard for your clarification. Maybe we should publish my remarks and yours in the Lansing Newspaper so that some of their fans understand the rules. The are terribly crule, hositle and uninformed.
