John,

The only reason I hesitated to comment after the original post is that I saw your son being on the list to not wrestle at State. I have the utmost respect for STA, and after being a part of their wrestling family for the five years before this one, I didn't want to go there. I figured that some wrestlers might have been injured and could not go on. Then I saw the post about the wrestler that was going to a different tournament that weekend. I understood that there were only four spots from each District, and figured that this wrestler took one of them. D1 is the only District that I do not see 5th/6th place matches. We (my son and I) owe a lot to STA and will always be thankful for having the opportunity to be a part of their club.
