I wasn't there, which is unfortunate for me, because it featured two great teams coached by two great friends who will be battling it out at the end of this month for the state title.

If I'm from Clay Center, I would probably boo Ross also, I mean, he is from the other team and all. One time, when I was at a KU game I actually booed Darrin Sproles, now how could I do that to a kid from my own state? Oh yeah, because he played for the other team. Yes, yes, I know sportmanship and all that stuff, but c'mon, two teams of this magnitude battling it out on a Friday night and you're suprised that there was booing? hmmm.....maybe you should live here longer and realize that the Clay Center people (great fans) know how great Ross is and that they are just reminding him of that fact.

Not impressed with Danny Grater? Jenne is no slouch, so give him some credit, but I'm not sure what Grater has to do to "impress you." Win a couple state championships? Go undefeated? Hit an underground double-leg with a bacon-straightener finish every match? The kid just wins? Always. And that impresses wrestling fans.

As far as the heavyweight controversy goes, Coach Charbonneau (Dennis as you like to call him) and Coach Stout (Mr. Stout as you like to call him) are two of the most respected and responsible coaches that you will find and I am certain that they both played fairly and applied the rules correctly.

Oh, and as for attacking the kid with a bad shoulder....uh...oh...um...well you see...oh wait, that's right, this is wrestling.
