Yes, this is true ... you have to lose control to get the escape point. As I saw it Ellison had a firm grip on Millstead. Therefore no loss of control. As far as Ellison goes about knowing refs make bad calls, he has had more than his share of bad calls against him!!! I hear from Oklahoma people themselves that the 1 loss Ellison has this season (Claremore Tourn.) was from a call in OT that was very obviously an outrageously bad call that resulted in Ellison losing the match. However he held his head high and took it in stride, not bashing his opponent or the refs. Nothing is ever gained by degrading people. Ellison is a fine wrestler with self respect and dignity. Millstead acted like a champion also, not throwing a fit or bashing Ellison. There needs to be more wrestlers with these qualities. Job well done to both boys!!
