I wanted to come on here and give credit to the Colby Ad and tournment workers.

It wasn't a secret that the 2 matts have been challenged and complained about. My self included, but they did a good job statying on time and kept things moving.

Overall very good job Colby!

I wish I could say the same for their fans. Their booing of Bird in the finals match was nothing but classless.

It should matter, these are kids and the large Colby crowd shouldn't have been booing a High School kid while he was getting his hand raised and named called out for winning his finals match.

I was mat side during the match, this is what I thought.

These scenerios has been talked about before, was the wrestler out before, during or after the pin. It did appear he was out but when it happen I'm not sure and it all happen so fast it was done and over before I knew it. Very very hard for a referee to see when it exactly happened.

I also remember the bottom guy trying to block the step over with his legs meaning he still was "awake" at that time.

From what I say it was completely legit and legal.

I don't have a dog it the fight so to speak, but booing a 17-18 year kids that works as hard as these boys do just seems like complete crap from the host team.
