Great Job! To both teams for a great tournament! Glad my wife and I could help out a little.
I agree great job. Great matchups. You guys did a great job keeping the tournament rolling. I didnt here any complaints. And Bill Little and crew did well reffing.I saw Bill help the rookie refs all day.
Ya, Great Job to both teams and YES there was some awasome wrestling!!! THe talent that was there was at the top. Thats what I think. I some some really close wins all day and some matches that was just WOW!! But to the Refs, I would say over all they did a good JOB. But there are still the small stuff that they have to get better on. Like kids useing head gear and singlets for levearg. I know that they have alot to look for. But I say a few matches that if they would have called it, the match would have turned out different. I even saw my kid try it and it wasnt called. but let me tell you as soon as he got back to me,. I was all over him letting him know that is Tech and he can give points to the guy he is wrestrling. So, I dont know how we get the refs to start calling this. But mybe our choaches should be calling them out to the refs. Didnt see any of that either. So, help me understand why this is not being called. Oh, I did see it called once on mat 7. One out of about who knows i stoped counting after about 30 or more of them that I saw from mat 1 to mat 12. But other than that it was a GREAT DAY!!!!!
Agreed! Great tournament! Especially appreciate the time taken to actually use the years of experience and the rankings of each wrestler to make some great match ups! Seems to go unnoticed for a lot of tournaments, but it was greatly appreciated!
Probably the best group of young officials I have seen.
I also wanted to give an update on the young man that man hurt on mat 9 (I think)
I just left his house and he doing fine, His elbow was dislocated and his arm was rotated 180° After surgery as some rest he is in very little pain.
I know had a lot of people asking me about him, since he was a Team Lightning wrestler.
He will rest up for awhile I am sure.
Thanks for the update Tracy. My son was the match after his and was asking about him today. Glad to hear he's feeling better. He handled it like a champ though!
