Cody -

Thanks for the kind words about Trevor. He wrestled his heart out against Bloodgoo and came up a little short (Corey is an excellent wrestler with no quit in him). Life is not always fair and Trevor realizes this.

I would like to commend you on the way you controlled yourself after the horrible referee's decision that was made in your quarterfinal match. You controlled yourself like a man, accepted the outcome and came out and wrestled well on saturday (much to Trevor's dismay). I think many younger wrestlers learned a valuable lesson by watching you this weekend.

As for the call, not only was it bad for you, but it kept the best four wreslers from advancing to the state tournament. Because of this, it also skewed the state brackets and will cause deserving wrestlers to go home finishing lower than they should have had it been set straight. There needs to be a way to correct this sort of thing in the future (although I really don't know how).

Good luck to you at state and don't let that call keep you from hammering away - that is your style and you should stick to it.
