It seems our PC world only wants to point out the facts that help prove the point of the person we are trying to protect, which in this case, is the girl. (and I am protecting her to the point of she showed up, and the other kids did not)

Again, I have no problem with her wrestling. I have a problem with the Archbishop telling his kids that they can't wrestle her, and screwing the SMS kid out of going to state.

Mr Gracy and his daughter did all that was asked of them. Showed up ready to wrestle, and two kids were not allowed to wrestle her. But for someone to make an assumption that she was going to make it anyway, and beat the SMS kid in the cons semis, had it turned out the way it probably would have, is reaching.

I am glad you pointed out that the SMS kid is the one that got shafted by the archbishop, and noone else. That FACT keeps getting passed over on this forum.......I will go as far as to say that the SMS kid's OPPORTUNITY to make it to state would have been much better, had he wrestled Ms. Gracy, instead of the Gooch kid. Please, tell me that noone is going to argue that........??!! And again, it was the fault of the Archbishop. Not the girl. Not the SJA kid. Not the STA kid. They simply used the rules available to them to keep their state title chases alive.

OK, hammer away again...........



Hey Doug, I agree with you on this point also, it's really not any of the kids fault!! They are just following the rules of the school which they choose to attend!! But the state does need to come up with a plan so this does not happen again!

Any way how are your boys doing, have not seen them in forever, tell them hello and take care. Hopefully I see you soon, for that cold one!
