" The state tournament is the very best in the state and the officials should be as well. It shouldn't be a popularity contest but rather "who's the best"." Probably has some politics involved like everything else does.

I remember Josh Keller wrestling a brilliant State Finals finals match...until he got turned and pinned! Did anyone tell him he didn't belong there? NO Point being everyone makes mistakes. I had no dog in the hunt, but I didn't think it was that bad. Were there questionable calls made? Yes there were. Did I agree with every call, no I didn't. But in the past thirty years I haven't agreed with every call at the State Tournament. These things happen. I believe most of these ref's are there, because they want to do their best and love the sport. Unless you want to do something about it, you don't have to like it, but you have to live with it!

`After three rounds 108.5 to 108 doesn't sound like a lock!

We have gone over this a hundred times on this board! This topic will never die!

BA and McCallie Correct?

You're right we should "prolly" have a boxing match at the same time so we could see the best of both worlds! Maybe even turn this thing into some ultimate fighting stuff. And besides I didn't know it was the referee's fault...totally different now! That makes it all better!

How is it that "private schools" get caught cheating. A split comes about, and all of a sudden, its all the DI coaches " crying, moaning and calling for a SPLIT" ??? Somebody please explain that to me.

By making us, the parents, pay for Hydration tests for our kids!.....Wait a minute it goes into pockets, not to the athletes. Sarcasm aside, has anyone ever thought about breaking off from the TSSAA to start a new state association?

WOW! Pretty sad. Evidently some people have forgotten that this is about High School Athletics, and our Kids! Why should one Organization rule everything? Isn't there some other option out there, that we could take? How did Carter get so powerful? Sad, everything is about money these days.

"When State???" This coming up weekend!
