I wish Fort Campbell could of made it... Would of been a great match up for us. Congratulations to Ravenwood.

best match I've seen in at least the last 5 years. Franklin tied it up at 189, then again it was tied up at heavys. Franklin needed a pin at the end to tie.

Should be a fun rematch on Saturday for the Region Finals and worth the price of admission.

I agree. Even from the outsider's perspective that was an exciting match to watch. Stuff like that will increase interest in the sport.

FHS feels great about that matchup with RHS. Our Heavyweight, Isaiah, had his guy on the mat late in the 3rd, the ref was on the mat and counted for the 3 back points, and the misssed the PIN because he looked at the clock for the last 2.5-3 seconds of the match. RHS wrestled great, but it's things like that where refs are there to pick up a check that irritates me and other fans as well. He also missed a clear pin by our 119, Alex, of Butters bc he was standing up and not on the mat. It seems like these guys think they have been a ref long enough that they don't have to get down on the mat.

 

Oh, anyways...congrats to Ravenwood. Outside of any vent I have concerning reffing, it was one of the most exciting matchups that I have seen. Looking forward to the meet on Monday. Go Rebels!

The ref made calls that helped out both teams. Don't blame our loss on the refs.

[RebelsRebelsRebels]

I'm not blaming it on the ref. I was saying that was a pretty poor reffing move, though. I was talking about how aggravating it is when refs treat these things as a quick 'payday' sometimes. I thought a meet to determine District Champs, they would have had both refs on the mat.

 

RHS is a great team as is FHS - so, tomorrow should be a good day for both groups of guys. I like FHS 1st and RHS Runner-up. Region 6 sending both teams from Wilco to States this weekend.

I believe that the 2nd ref is a young official and was there to call the JV matches on the 2nd Mat
