Richard,
Nice post. One point of correction since you like to get your facts straight.
You sound like you mean you are a ROMAN Catholic. "Catholic" in and of itself speaks of 'universal Body of Christ', which is all Christians regardless of denominations/labels and makes no mention of Popes, the Vatican, beads, confessionals and such . . .

As a person watching 5A and 6A in Wichita, I was very sick of what I saw today. I am a catholic and it made me very sick to see STA coaches lie and act the way they did during this 3rd and 4th place match. It was very obvious that the kid from SHHS was ready for the overtime match. Instead it went south. As a Catholic, I was very disappointed in seeing the STA coaches not do the right thing today. Don't say you are a "religious" person and lie and want to "screw" the other person. I was very disappointed. VERY. What happended to honest people? Especially when you are coming from a CATHOLIC school!
Either post your name with your negative comments or keep quiet. The Board Rules, which you agreed to, are quite clear.
Board Rules
This is a free forum, created for the purpose of promoting Kansas wrestling, and those who wrestle, through the exchange of thoughts and suggestions, and for the recognition of the accomplishments of those involved in our sport.
There are just two basic rules that are necessary to keep in mind. First, remember that this is a family oriented forum, and is regularly viewed by young wrestlers. Second, "cheap shots" will not be tolerated. If you are going to post a message critical of an individual, group or idea, you must give your true name and/or email address. Be willing to stand behind your comments, or keep them to yourself.
Regardless or your ignorant comments, Coach Lorne Parke from STA is a class act and very highly thought of in wrestling circles.
From one Catholic to another, keep your false disparaging comments to yourself. Prior to Holy Communion this morning I would suggest a visit to the Confessional.
