If you didn't walk out then you weren't a member of the classless group that left. After your last finalist wrestled a majority of your fan base left. Your coach and I even talked about it. If you stayed I applaud you for doing the right thing. I agree that you have a great support base but it doesn't hurt that it is only a short drive to Salina from Clay Center. You cannot dispute that a majority of your fans left after the 135lb finals. Before this match you were .5 points behind Colby. Mathematically still alive. Had he won you would have been in first with a hope of staying there if Arnberger and Kriss would have lost. There is my research! It was POSSIBLE for you to win but NOT LIKELY. The fans may very well have been students but none the less the place was tomblike for the 285lb finals, this you cannot disput either. I know your coach well and I know you will be back. I didn't dispute or challenge your town's ability to put good wrestlers on the mat. I have taken some of your boys to wrestle in Iowa before. I merely called out those who left and didn't stay in respect to the other finalists. If the finals would have started at 140lbs perhaps they would have stayed to support Anderson. That is really my point, why do we always start at 103. I hope you and many others return next year and that ALL of your fans can stay until the end.
