Ouch...., but it was a well executed reversal by the kid!

 

In my vaguest of memories, I do recall one father throwing his camera (completely busting it up) and chairs when his son was being beat by little Al Morris, and that was when Al and my big brother were tiny ity bity little tots. That means I was an even bittier tot!

 

 

 

 

 

may have been with a future Baylor state champ....if I remember correctly....

kid wrestling can produce strange emotions for parents.I recall a kid tournament where one boy's father was standing 20 feet from the mat as his son was wrestling another little boy. the father was struck from behind by the other boys mother. The father was a very good former highschool and college athlete could have crushed his attacker, but he did nothing since he was a gentleman.However the father's x-wife came down from the stands and defended her x-husband by thumping the other lady....It was better than the kids' match.One of the boys became a state champion.I'll not tell the names unless authorized.

Because of these sort of things, is why you need seasoned refs at these kid events. A seasoned ref would know if the kid was being hurt. And this is why parents and other fans don't need to be on the gym floor along the mat. That is why, as officials we try to keep mat side clear and fans in the seats. I know parents get mad at us, but it is for the safty of the wrestlers and so the other fans that stay in the stands, can see.

We had a Mom and Dad on the Mat this year during the 215 finals in Region 8.

It was almost as sad. The Dad pointing his finger at a HS kid because his son was on the mat crying from a disappointing loss.
