I felt like Danny Deshazer worked very hard all day as well on Mat 1. And on a 6u mat, there is no way you can criticize a referee trying to figure who actually has control, cause neither one of the 6u kids that are wrestling know either. Show me a ref that always gets it right, and I'll kiss your rear end.............

Like clockwork, by early Sunday morning the day after a big tourney, someone has to post how bad the refs were. Come on, they were very good on every mat I was at. Just because one call goes against your kid during the day, the whole crew sucks. Ask yourself what kind of example you are setting for your kid by allowing him to blame a loss on a referee.........


If you don't like hearing the words "squeeze harder", you probably ought to move over to basketball, cause you're going to hear it every time a kid gets put on his back. It is a brutal sport. My kindergartner has a shiner, and several scrapes and bruises, from Salina. All part of the process of toughening them up for when it counts in high school.
