Brandon is playing baseball. He made the comittment. Yes, he did have a mandatory practice and there will be another the weekend of State. Therefore, we decided not to go to Districts because if he had placed, someone else would have missed out on the opportunity to go.
I can't say that I agree with the coach, but I do understand that HS Wrestling is over. I, as a parent of this sport for many years, have a hard time believing he didn't finish this year because in Brandon's case he had the possibility of being a 6X Kids State Champion if he wrestled thru to 16U.
Unfortunately, a choice had to be made. Maybe we'll be back next year. If not, he has accomplished alot in Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa and 2nd at Reno! I am very proud of him (as if you couldn't tell).
Good Luck to everyone going to State!
