If they were in attendance, I bet they respected the rest of the folks who chose to take part.

Let me add another comment. This solemn moment is something that these kids should take to heart. What really hacks me off is when some kid goes to the corner of the mat before his match starts, does his prayer thing, points to heaven, then acts like a total punk, headslapping, shoving his opponent into the bleachers, throwing a fit when he loses, etc. I don't believe that is what the Good Lord told him to do during his prayer. You see it every weekend on TV with the pro guys. And it rubs off on our kids. If you are going to honor the Good Lord with a prayer, give him a little more honor by not acting like an idiot after the prayer.........

Did I just hijack the post, or does that make sense to anyone else?
