The Parker brothers, Coach Black, and coachtwink need to grow up and show leadership to the young wrestlers in a different manner!

To the contrary Grant, I have met many fine individuals associated with the Manhattan Kids Wrestling Club and the Manhattan Optimists.

These men have always displayed exceptional sportsmanship and have my respect, as do Coach Woodford, Coach Andrade, and Coach Bammes.

The Manhattan High School wrestling program is one of the top in the state and is to be recognized as such.

It is the gloating and braggadacio which is unacceptable.

I will use a quote from a 6A wrestling coach yesterday during a discussion of the team points and if in fact Manhattan might catch Aquinas.

"Manhattan choked once again. They were the favorite, and have been for several years due to the large number of wrestlers Manhattan qualifies due to their weak regional."

Rest assured I have no animus towards Manhattan High School, the wrestling program, and certainly not the outstanding coaching. I do take issues with the gloating which you seem to cheerlead along with your brother.
It is very clear I have the utmost respect for the coaches and the program these coaches have established at Manhattan High School.
