Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Schippers

Are both of the Schipper boys going to be healthy for regionals?

Fanatic, I heard Jason, (145 lbs.) fractured his tibia or fibula but is going to wrestle. Those kids are tough so that doesn't surprise me. Wish they would give some of our kids that toughness!!

that is what i was wondering about. i heard about a fracture.

Jason fractured one of them at the beloit tourny against Grater, Dr. advised him to put a cast on for like 6 weeks. Jason didn't think that would be a good idea since regionals was in 4 weeks. He is going to wrestle at regionals, and I think he'll win it to. Kid's way to tough to let a broken bone stop him. I think being my cousin prolly toughened him up a little, just kidding.

lots of guts,but no brains

no matter how tough he is there is a limit to the extent of an injury that will enable him to compete. I wish him well and at the same time remind him the decision is his. He is putting his opponents in a tough position too. Imagine an opponent put a change over on his ankle, somebody will say dirty evil opponent but his opponents have every right to wrestle there game. At the same time it is hard to not appreciate his efforts.
