I agree with Mrs. Grater, and other others on this. This is the second thread now where an Outstanding wrestler has been questioned. As I mentioned before I thought Joe would most likely win this match after seing him wrestle several times now, but that was not the case here and Danny got the win. When it comes down to, winning is winning no matter how you get it done (outside of cheating of course). I give credit to Danny for winning the match, and if I would have had a vote in it, it would have gone to him. I really wish for the sake of sportsmanship and the integrity of our sport that people could just accept how awards are given out, instead of wasting time arguing about it. Congrats to Danny on his win and his award, and best wishes to both wrestlers who im fairly confident will both secure state titles later on this year.
