I am not writing on this forum to knock anyone, expecially the kids that wrestle. These are some of the best kids around. Most are very well behaved, and have good manners. Their values and morals are set at a much higher level than some. I don't have a problem with teammates down by the matside, but I do have a big problem with parents, that are not coaches, to be down there. They have no business there, and the tournament directors should have enforced this to a much greater degree. I was one of the many people down at the matside, but I also hold my coaches copper certification, and had my wrist band on the entire time. Please remember, I'm one of the loudest mother's you'll hear at a tournament, when my son is on the mat. I have a voice that could shatter glass. I am the first to say I can be very loud and crazy. Just look at my login name. As for what you think you know was said, I can tell you, you do not! Not only was that earlier comment made in front of two of the Buhler wrestlers, of high school age, it was made in front of myself. I did not misunderstand what was said. It was as plain as the nose on my face. I opted to not say anything, but after several days of consideration, I decided to log-on to this forum for feedback. I have nothing negative to say about any club, but just felt that these comments were inappropriate. I live to go see my son wrestle, and to watch the other kids in our club, along with the kids that my son has made friends with along the way. I also know what was going on along mat 1, I was sitting right there keeping score most of the day. In the time that I was not scoring, my spouse was. Please understand, this has nothing to do with the kids. It is solely the parents...isn't it always!! Too many parents are trying to live vicariously through their kids. Furthermore, I have nothing but great respect for the Russell coaches that I have come to know through this year, attending meetings with them, and just talking with them. Nice bunch of guys!!
