I think Flory looked to be in excellent form as he dominated Latimer. I bet Latimer was just happy he made the finals considering Travis Conley from Spring Hill actually beat him in the semifinals. In the Conley vrs. Lattimer match, The score was tied 7-7 in the third period. Lattimer gave Conley an escape. (score Conley 8-7) Conley then put lattimer to his back in a move similar to the Russian Leg sweep. The ref gave Conley two points and counted off three backpoints. Then Lattimer reversed Conley for two points. (Score Conley 13-9)
This is where the bad officiating comes in. The ref changes his mind, doesn't give Conley his takedown and backpoints. Instead he gives Lattimer 2 points takedown and Conley no points. (score Lattimer 9-8).
Lattimer ended up winning the match by two points. It was bad officiating. I dont want to mention the refs name,but he does have the same name of a guy off of Nash Bridges. That one particular ref made some of the poorest calls i have ever seen at regional wrestling.
The Burlington regional was one to remember. The hometown had everything planned to a 'T'. The finals display was excellent. My only complaint was the poor officiating by one ref. He consitantly would give calls to some kids, and then not give them to different kids who would perform the same move.
Its too bad Conley didn't win considering how he gave Flory a much tougher match when they met earlier in the year.
