Shawnee Mission South kid got hosed because two catholic wrestlers (coaches/administration actually) lied and said they were "injured". If your religious convictions make you not wrestle a girl, those same convictions must dictate you cannot lie to get around a catholic rule. Once again, STA and SJA show exactly what type of "good catholics" they are.
NO!!! Two kids got hosed out of the opportunity to at least fairly compete for a chance at State. If STA and SJA are members of KSHSAA there should be no special rule for them because of religious beliefs. None of the other competitors would be allowed to forfeit and then continue to wrestle. This is a very slippery slope and the practice needs to be stopped. If private schools want to be members they should have to follow the rules just like everyone else. Had male competitors forfeited to male wrestlers, everyone on this forum would be up in arms because they were manipulating the brackets. Play by the rules or play somewhere else.
