I know we always complain about officiating and how they are inconsistent, and all of that. But I would like to say there were two really good refs in Wichita on the 6A mats. I don't know their names, but one looked like the principal from Ferris Bueller's day off, and one looked like Al Borland, from Home Improvement. They were consistent, and let everyone wrestle. When there was a controversy, these guys would consult the other refs, (it was funny watching Al Borland Ref and another guy, they would squish their rather oversized bellies together). But on the same note, I have some complaining to do. The ref that was bald and had a beard and was really loud (looked like that guy that called Jerry a phony on Seinfeld) was a baaaad, baaaaad ref. He needs to realize that being a ref is about observing the match and staying out of the way. He always wants to make a stalling call at the end of the match, or something like that that could throw one match the other way. One way he threw the match to another kid was the 215 championship match between Carroll and Hemmerling. In the 1st period, Carroll tried to get his leg away from Hemmerling's unstoppable single, and he went out of bounds and was called for fleeing the mat. It was the only fleeing call I saw all tournament. That changed the whole match, because Carroll would have had the lead going into the 2nd...you never know. But hats off to Carroll, a great wrester, to Hemmerling, for winning your team the state title, and to Al Borland Ref and F.B. Day Off ref. And boo to you, Seinfeld ref. Your calls were phony. -
