Dear Les:
Is that not why wrestling matches are THREE (3) PERIODS?
Unfortunate for Coach Lampe to make excuses for an outstanding wrestler, and I am sure they will both concentrate their efforts on conditioning to ensure this situation does not repeat itself.
I commend you for coming to the defense of one of your hometown college wrestlers.
I know Sponsel personally and can state that my personal opinion is that John has often not been the most talented athlete on the mat, but his heart and determination, along with his tremendous work ethic help him to compensate and take advantage when he has worn down the competition.
Darn those mistakes!
These are early season matches, and only time will tell how these competitors fare in the future!
