I have been stewing about this all week and through the weekend. I know that this forum is NOT to blastify anyone or call anyone out. This is to be a good thing for parents and coaches alike. I have been on the talk forums for over a year but have never found the need to register and post anything as I am simply a father and a spectator. However, things that are said on this forum are directly reflected upon each "post-ers" club. With that said I would like to let everyone in the Hutchinson area know that I am truly sorry for NOT attending your tournament. I heard that it went really well and things ran much better than in the past even though I saw posts about the track wrestling vs. old school. Kudos to the Hutchinson Team!
So onto exactly why I chose NOT to take my kid and actually our ENTIRE team decided not to go was because we thought that Tracy Peterson was a part of the Hutchinson kids Wrestling Club. I know that you will read this Tracy as you obviously spend WAAAAYYY to much time on here brow beating EVERYONE and telling everyone your experiences and "takes" on anything and everything. You are rude and generally unhelpful to most on this talk forum. The worst of all is that I, myself, and many others have always thought you were from the Hutchinson Club. But you are from Buhler Team Lightning!!???....
Hutchinson has really produced a lot of great competition over the last few years in many age and weight brackets and seems to strive to achieve a higher level of wrestling. But, Hutchinson, a word to the wise, your reputation is just a step above TOHK with the association of Tracy Peterson and his "bullying" ways. I would caution you to combine the Buhler and Hutch teams as there is a reason that Buhler split AND that they never seem to get themselves straightened out enough to have their own tourney.
Coming from the Kansas City area I have seen many clubs fold for reason similar to this one. Hutchinson keep your chin up and Peterson out. Tracy I hope this is an eye opener for you to realize that you have pissed a lot of people off and it has indirectly reflected upon another club. You may be from "Hutchinson, Ks" but you are associated with "Buhler Team Lightening." Set the record straight and think before you type.
