Great Wrestling in 67# brackets. Both brackets pretty evenly split up. Wyatt Hayes was pretty dominate. Reynolds second in that bracket with Lenker 3rd and Rall 4th. Other bracket was Soffell from Wichita 1st, Wells from Derby 2nd, Kade Miller 3rd and Sean Urban 4th.
Major disappointment was seeing a parent, obvious to everyone, coach a wrestler into faking a back injury to avoid being pinned. This happened two matches in a row and attempted a third time in the Championship. The wrestler was able to get the match stopped and off his back (once was a sure pin)by screaming and holding his back and return to starting on bottom and hold on for a 1 point win. Not to blan the official by any means but points were not awarded accordingly for either(believe it should be 2-3 for the back and 1 for the "tap out".) Very sad to see. Not mentioning names but you and everyone with interest in this weight today know who you are. I personally told my son that I would rather he lose every match he ever wrestles than to fake an injury to avoid defeat. Seriously, show me a positive in that........for anyone. If your gonna wrestle, be tough enough to accept defeat.
