Here is how your Region 6 front runner did against Region 4’s winner. Wilson Central 6 Cleveland 49

I never said any of it should be overlooked I did say that it’s an emotional sport. Be willing to pay with a team points if you don’t handle it well. Coming to practice on Sunday just reduces the chances of being on the wrong side of winning and losing.

I suppose you think we should be ok with losing a match? Kids that compete at a high level are not ok with losing. It’s an emotional sport and sometimes that comes out in a negative manner. Character is developed at home and relying on a coach to do that is wrong. Winning Championships is what they put in all that work for year round. Cleveland practiced Sunday and the room was full of State Champs both returning and graduating and kids that came up short.So yeah maybe it just matters more in our town.

Cleveland lost 16 points for unsportsmanlike conduct. 13 of those belong to Mr. Jones. What he did was unacceptable. The remainder involve two of the best young men I know and Coach Knox. The suggestion that there is a fire is laughable. Look at the team score difference between 1st and 2nd Place. heck you might want to start your own fire.

No one disputed whether or not SH is in the conversation. Three starters out and you lost by 23 points. Sweating debatable at best. So let’s look at it below. 106 Bodo pinned in 40 seconds. 113 Starter out presumably. Mann goes in here anyway after Christmas provided he can make the weight more than twice. Remains to be seen. Even if he does how do you close the gap here? 120 Seeley won by pin. 126 Mann pinned in 25 seconds. 132 Frye pinned in 1:22 138 Story won by pin. You would need this again 50/50 chance. 145 Stiltner pinned in 3:44 152 James won by decision 5-1. Sweeney out for us and he beat James last year. 160 Diehl won by major 18-6. 170 Forfeit to Jones. Another starter out. 182 Kalogeros pinned in 2:39 195 Brown won by decision 6-5. We bumped here and your guy wrestled a back up. 220 Medina won by decision 4-2. Our 195 wrestled here. 285 Cross pinned in 27 seconds. Not a typo. So where are you getting 23 points? Most of the matches resulting in pins are not close. James is a physical specimen but not a bonus point machine. Mann dropping to 113 is not a guaranteed six points. You are already getting bonus from Seeley, Story, and Diehl.
