Gibby, you were a little harsh on this ref. He is still learning and obvious has some wrestling experiance with the way he anticipated the action in the matches. As for Thomas, My son wrestled with him in Colorado last summer. He had nothing but good to say about him. He would sacrafice his weight and wrestle where ever needed. Coach Harris enjoyed him also. I hope Thomas gets his act together as far as sportmanship cause he is a very good wrestler. As for this official, I think we need more like him. I don't think any official wants to cheat a kid out of a match but the rules are the rules. "Blood time is blood time", no matter if its a spot or not. Good luck to Thomas and you as an official.
