This thread is amazing. I know there was some sarcasm, but for those that think Moeder and Cokely (or SJA as a whole) are dodging anyone is humorous. I have no dog in the fight, but I think every reason given for them pulling out is legit. I only wonder why the schedule wasn't looked at prior to the season. If it's because of the injury to coach...good enough for me.

I can't speak for Coach Means, but even when I was coaching we discussed the fact that GC was just tough on our kids at this point in the season. At the time we had a several weeks of Thursday duals with 2 day tourneys following them. On top of that we were always questioned on why we didn't go to Newton, which would have been four two day tourneys in a row. Couldn't do it all, and can't please everyone.

Good luck to all that are lucky enough to wrestle this weekend!
