Well I was sitting in the corner and what I saw was a guy weighing 175lbs wrestling a guy who looked like he would have been a large 195 pounder. I also saw that 175 pounder take several shot attempts while fighting off arms and legs that were SEVERAL inches longer. I saw that smaller wrestler trying several different turning combinations and doing everything he could to unwrap himself from tight waists that looked more like tight spines. There was no playing it safe on his side. His opponent was warned for stalling once on his feet and in my opinion should have been again while on top. There were no turn attempts from the larger wrestler. Unfortunately I don’t make those calls.
I cannot and will not speak on the other match you mentioned because they are not my kids.
The last thing I will mention seeing is a kid who very well could have won a state title at 170 (he pinned Stacy earlier in the year) but chose to wrestle up to get a challenge. His only loss on the year was to Brenot of Clarksville. Maybe you saw what he did tonight.
Heckert is a gutsy kid who laid it all on the line this evening and I can assure you sir there was no playing it safe on his end.
I did congratulate Smith because he won a state title and I’m not knocking Stacy, he won one as well.
