Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School dedricks?

it was Scott Coleman who did it. A Kansas boy as well.

Only a difficult decision by an opposing coach saved another top seed from an early exit to the consolation bracket.

Iowa heavyweight Steve Mocco was leading Iowa State's Scott Coleman 2-0 in their second-round match when Mocco forced Coleman's arm behind his back and was called for an illegal hold.

Coleman, his shoulder wrenched, was awarded a penalty point and could have won by default had he declared himself unable to continue. Instead, Cyclones coach Bobby Douglas had Coleman restart the match in the down position, then default to Mocco.

Coleman, though visibly disappointed, said he agreed with the decision and didn't think Mocco was guilty of dirty tactics.

"We couldn't have accepted a default win," he said. "That wouldn't have been good sportsmanship on either side. (Douglas) knows a lot more than I do about wrestling, so why should I argue with him?"

Mocco would have killed everyone in the arena if he lost to the Iowa State kid by injury default.

did anyone else find it really funny that Mocco is an art major? He is a mean lookin guy who looks 40 or so and the thought of him with water colors is just crazy.

yes...i also heard it and felt a little awkward...but back on dedrick...i understand its over but htat is going to stick with him the rest of his high school career and it rightfully should...it showed absolutely zero heart of what he did and if i was his dad i would feel completely embarassed..i do know o.south team was....

Actually, you probably wouldn't see Mocco with watercolors, noting the fact that his focus is in ceramics. And besides, what is funny about an athlete, or more specifically a wrestler, that is also an artist? Cael Sanderson is a very skilled artist, predominantly in drawing and painting, and I'm not sure, but i think he might have majored in one of the two. Give Mocco some respect.

Also, that's awful good to hear about South's team. I guess it's pretty obvious that there's nothing more important than unity over on the Southside.

that's funny schiebs
